I recently acquired a revolver, so I check out the revolver section once in a while. However, seeing this thread, I come at it from an autoloader's perspective, as that is what I carry. However, I still only carry either a 6+1 (Glock 36) or my new 5+1 (Springfield XDs) piece.
Having said that, I do carry at least one extra magazine on me at all times. That equates to, at a minimum, 6 extra shots with the Glock, and 5 with the XDs... though it would more likely be 7 and 7 (pierce +1 on the glock, 7 round extended mag on the XDs). My rationale is, six is enough for most situations, and more is available if needed while still not sacrificing concealability or too much comfort.
Long story short, yes... I am comfortable with six. I am more comfortable with more. That's pretty much it for me.
Of course I can't predict where they'll be 100% but where we camp is mostly desert, and not an area prone to growing unlike national forests and national park land.
