1 for my wife, 1 for myself. They shoot .38 p+ ammo and when you put the empty airlight in one hand and the ammo in the other, they weigh just about the same. My only complaint is the recoil is rather heavy due to the light weight of the gun. But they are really easy to conceal with the right holster.

Edit to add: My wife is a much better shot with this gun than I am (actually a better shot with her model 29 in .357 also...)
