I have never been hunting, so I have never put a round of ammunition into anything living: 2, 4 or even 6 or 8 legged creatures (although the 6 and 8 legged ones don't need more than my boot).
Therefore I am interested in reading what those who have, have to say. Especially guys like Vickers who spent 15 years in Delta Force and put a lot of rounds into bad guys. Although when he was putting those rounds in, there were probably a lot of bad guys, so I get his desire for lots of rounds without mag changes.
With my experience I am left with theory. I figure the most likely scenario is similar to that church where the guy stands, pulls his gun, and takes 5 seconds to recite his gibberish. I have those 5 seconds to assess, react, draw, and fire; seven rounds should do me just fine, and if I am relying on my confidence and skill to hit the target and re-sight there is no question I am taking the 1911.
But at 3 pounds fully loaded with one in the chamber I am not likely to have that, so I will have the XDS, also in .45.
For me 15-19 rounds indicates I am in a firefight and if I live I will be doing some serious re-assessment on where I go and how I review my surroundings.
Again, just theory.
