9mm vs. 45-I need help

[longbow]

Trying to figure out the best way to handle this. I like both and they have specific uses.

The problem is carrying both at the same time. I have the glock on my right leg and the sig on my left. I'm getting confused during mag changes and I have also force fed the wrong gun and mags into the wrong spots. My mag set up is 9 mm on the side with the 45 and 45 on the 9mm side. What the real problem is I keep the extra mag for the same gun in the mag carrier that is next to the leg holster.

I have overcome the light issue. I just carry one and will place it on the gun I have drawn. Mastering getting out of the car or truck was not hard.

Ingo, help me out.

It does not have to be practical...............the more impractible, the better. Just be glad I don't kidney carry a .40 as a backup.

my suggestion would be
less guns, more mags.
do you normally carry two guns?
which one is the back up?
pick the one you shoot best, leave the other at home, carry more mags.
think about a pocket pistol as a back up.

I am confused.
You carry two pistols, each a different caliber? Why?

 

[Hoosier8]

I think you need more.

 

[malern28us]

I think you need more.

That won't make you even more confused!

At the end of this fight he was wishing for a couple of ankle guns too...lol. Great movie.

Can't argue with a 230grain bullet

Skip the extra mags and go solidly for extra guns. Why waste all that precious space for silly extra mags when you can just carry a fresh weapon in it's stead! Texas Reload, I believe?

 

[GBuck]

The fastest reload is ALWAYS another gun.

Obviously this is the right answer. Carry many different guns in many different calibers, so no matter the situation you will have the right tool for the job. I suggest a shoulder holster on each side, one with a .50AE, and the other with a 10mm, one cross draw 357mag, one IWB appendix carry 9mm, one stongside .45acp, a thigh holster for the .40sw, a 380 in an ankle holster, and one of those 22lr revolver belt buckles.

If your backup needs an extra clip your pretty much screwed anyways. If I carry a backup I usually dont carry an extra clip for it.

I carry all kinds of loaded clips......when I carry my Garand. Though I've never carried a Garand for a backup.

This is the only proper answer. I practice this for real. No purple.

One time someone I trust asked me if I was carrying a gun. I said, no, I am carrying three......

I like to carry 5 guns. That way a lawyer can't say I didn't follow the force continuum.

If I feel like I am being mocked. I will draw my Nerf Dart Gun and attempt to stick a dart to said mocker's forehead. That generally defuses the situation, right there.

Should this not work, and the individual is now speaking to me with seriously hateful words, I counter his forceful words with something I learned with force on force. I hit him with some airsoft rounds. Now he knows I mean business.

If the individual proceeds to taunt me a second time. I will pull out my NAA 22 LR revolver from deep concealment (you don't want to know) and proceed to convince him otherwise, as the .22 LR rounds give him a serious rash.

By now, the individual has moved up to a deadly knife, so I switch to my 9mm to give him one last chance and unload on him. Being that the 9mm is wimpy, it will merely give him time to think about changing his ways, much like a girly man gently slapping his chest.

This is good, because I carry my .45 in Condition Butterscotch. So I will assemble my weapon, while he contemplates if he wants to continue attacking me.

Now I have a .45 and he is continuing the attack. So I would shoot. And then, as I am considerate in my carry, take out my dust pan and small broom. I will clean up the small amount of dust that was left when the 45 vaporized him. (It is much like what happens with a staked vampire. Truly impressive to see.)

I used to carry a .40 Glock, instead of the .45, but I was returning fire on a robber in a 7-11 and it kaboomed and brought the whole place down on our heads. Don't worry though, the fire marshal thought it was a gas explosion. That wasn't really possible, because I had not consumed Taco Bell that evening.

Keep your life a bit simpler and carry one gun and more mags. If you feel the need to have a backup gun I would stick with a small 9mm that is IWB with one to 2 mags max on your person. Carrying two guns with both having mags is a recipe for disaster!

 

[RandomName]

Have you considered carrying a smoke grenade? That ought to give you a bit more time to sort out your reloads should it become necessary.

I would also recommend a "pimping" sword cane and if you can rig up a small crossbow on your forearm you should be good to go.

 

[pokersamurai]

I think you need more.

Don't you know, your six 6 handguns should only be used to fight your way back to your 3 long-guns.
