That tends to answer a sticky problem that I have to face up to, my absolute favorite pistol is my Sig P220, but it only holds 8 rounds of .45, 10 if I wanted a longer mag.
I also have three Glocks, the G20, G21 and G23, none hold less than thirteen rounds but are not as accurate as the Sig.
So in view of the dramatic increase of violence it is making me rethink about carrying the Glock, there is nothing wrong with it but I am a purist and have more affection for fine pieces made of metal such as the German built Sig.
Also just happening is another family killing/suicide in Santa Clara CA up on Drudge.
I’ve got a P229 (40 cal) SIG - I love it! But my carry pieces are either my S&W Sigma 9 (ugly, and accuracy isn’t too good beyond 15 yards but I’m not looking for a firefight at that range) or a pair of Kel Tec P32s (8 rounds each, one for each hand, giving me 16 rounds live and ready to go with the pull of a trigger from either the weak or strong side).
My usual is the Kel Tec setup - very light weight, easy to conceal, and lots of flexibility. Plus if my firearm jams (which does happen, even with SIGs) I have a backup pistol ready to go.
And I do all my practice point shooting exclusively singled handed, strong and weak side. No Weaver stance for me - I practice shooting while moving, running, ducking. In other words, returning fire while presenting as bad a target for the other guy as I can!
I have the SIG, and it does shoot like a dream, but I prefer to carry the Sigma 9; having those extra 5 shots (I have the 17 round magazines) is nice, and if I drop the Sigma and scratch the crap out of it, well, it’s not a SIG that got damaged! I think I’d cry if that beautiful slide got all dinged up if it crashed into concrete...
