There are a LOT of 9mm high capacity weapons.
I own one.
i just bought extra clips for mine (have never done such a thing previously), and was kinda surprised how much variety there is
i mean, who needs 33 rounds?
Do you want to get shot while you are reloading?
Seriously, in tactical training, you head count the number of rounds you heard the closest weapon fire. If you visually saw an assault rifle, you can assume 20-30 rounds. If you saw a handgun, you count 10-12. A pause after these intervals is considered an opportunity for offensive engagement.
I use S&W M&P (military and police) 9mm handguns with double stack. 17 rounds total with no visible magazine hanging below the grip.
Home defense is a KSG, 14 rounds 12 gauge, .00 on one side and slug on the other.
So, if you get into a fire fight with me and I am using a handgun, your count should be 17. I will most likely know yours.
A firefight with my shotgun, it doesn't really matter, I can remove most any barrier between us with the first 6.

Jesus died at age 33
there's thirty-three shots
From twin Glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
Which means, one of my guns was holdin' 17

Somebody with really bad aim?
If my aim was that bad (it is), I'd just use a 12 gauge shotgun for home protection. Pretty hard to miss someone down a hallway with one of those.
Use buckshot

I've had a gun pulled on me twice. It's a singular feeling.

4 dead plus the juvenile shooter at a Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin.
Apparently posting the Ten Commandments in the hallway and having a Bible in the building doesn't make all children magically behave well after all. Shocking.

once was enough for me
Same. Got held up at gunpoint in the downtown St. Louis Greyhound bus station in broad daylight. Quite unnerving, especially when you have to tell them you have a grand total of maybe $5 on you.

So I imagine you told them you had to think it over when the robber said βyour money or your lifeβ?
