Concealed Carry Life: Magazine Capacity

About this video

Colion argues that magazine capacity should be a top priority when selecting a concealed carry weapon. He challenges the common belief that smaller calibers with fewer rounds are sufficient, suggesting that most carriers aren’t expert marksmen and may miss under stress. Colion explains his personal philosophy of prioritizing higher capacity in 9mm over larger calibers with fewer rounds, believing more ammunition provides better defensive options in unpredictable real-world situations.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that capacity should be elevated as a key factor in choosing a carry gun, since real defensive situations are unpredictable and most people will likely miss shots under stress
• Colion suggests the statistical average of 2-3 rounds in defensive shootings is misleading because it includes incidents requiring many more shots, so carriers shouldn’t assume they’ll only need a few rounds
• Colion advocates for selecting the highest capacity gun in the lowest caliber you’re comfortable with (he prefers 9mm), prioritizing more rounds over perceived stopping power of larger calibers like .45 ACP
