Extra Ammunition
I would carry my Ruger GP-100 revolver in .357 Magnum, but it has a 6" heavy bull target barrel. It would be a mite big to carry concealed, even with my being 6'4" tall. Yes, revolvers do occasionally do have malfunctions - I have a Revolver in 38 Short that has devolped problems and needs to visit the gunsmith soon...
In my CCW renewal classes over the years, it has been stressed to use factory manufactured ammunition in your CCW weapon. Otherwise, if you have to use it, then you will be probally grilled for days in court as to how your reloaded ammunition preforms and ballistics. I use factory ammunition in my semi-auto pistols on my CCW License with no major malfunctions. They are Military Surplus weapons, yet I seem to out shoot the guys with the new and fancy crome plated laser sighted pistols at the range (when I shoot there - thanks to my having been in the US Marines  ). Gotta love my Walther P-38's in 9mm or my Czech CZ-52 in 7.62X25mm Tokarev (a flat shooter at 40+ yards) that I carry concealed.
