The G36 has a capacity of 6+1 or 7+1 (when a +1 grip extender is used). For self defense purposes it wise to have at least one extra magazine on you which gives you 14 rounds.
This handgun packs the 45 caliber punch and it is Glock's only single stack magazine firearm. The G36 is also the thinnest of all Glock pistols. The Glock 36 excels in concealed carry mode due to it's thin form factor. The G36 is also lighter than the G30SF which makes it much more suitable for IWB or pocket carry than the G30SF.
