More is better but I would say that the absolute minimum

is 3, 9 makes me feel better, 18 makes me feel safe in the idea that I can feed the pistol for certain. I have better than that for the 1911s, about that for the S&W 422, 6 for the 1911-22, 3 for the 938-22, about that for the MK-II, better than that for the AR, hmmmmm... I sure do like the revolvers, tube fed and such.

PS - this is based on what I feel one should carry, normally, when using the pistol in "the field" and that is 3 (1 in the gun and 2 reloads).
