5 in the gun and 10 in a belt clip. May be overkill, but I always thought of it for safety reasons. If I was ever hurt, or unable to walk, no outside communication, at least I could let off a shot every so often if they came looking for me. God, you'd think I was hunting in the wilderness or something. In our club, we hunt close enough that if I pass gas, somebody'd hear it. Just kidding, but I'd rather have em and not need em, than to need them and not have em.
