How many is enough? Does it really matter?

I found a little auto I like, powerful, thin, great trigger and sights, very small, holds 6+1. In the past I have regularly carried a 5-shot revolver with an extra HKS speed-loader full of rounds in another pocket. Seldom do I travel in harm's way, knowingly. Blissfully I wander looking very harmless but with the knowledge that I am indeed armed.

There is a movement to have micro-9's that carry 10+1. A modern marvel in engineering design and manufacturing. But not quite as small, or thin, but very close. Consider the Glock 43x, 48, and SIG's 365.

I also have an ancient little .32 Auto made in the 1920's. At the time way ahead of it's competition, alas only a 5-shot mag. The same as many small revolvers of the time in the same power class. Almost exactly the same size today, but heavier, than my current pocket .380 7-shooter.

At what point is there a mental comfort issue?
