CC your extra mags?

Why ?

Why do I carry a second revolver?

I carry in two guns in different positions to address the weak points of both carry locations.
Guns do sometimes get disabled in gun fights in ways that can't be fixed. We had an IPD officer have the slide knocked off his gun by a bullet. Can't fix that. I've address mag floor plates dumping. Can't fix that.
Revolver specifically for the ability to contact shoot without worrying about being out of battery.
Its easy to drop into a coat pocket and have in hand when knocking on a door for a knock and talk. They don't know I'm holding a gun, and there's no quicker way to draw than to already have it in hand. I can start with that gun then transition to my bigger one if need be, but its faster than sweeping my coat and going for my primary, and speed matters a lot.

No one who was in a gun fight never said they wished they had less ammo, ever!

Carry a spare reload, no matter what you carry.

BB,
Ok*** I fully understand carrying two firearms at work, there were times that i carried 3... the 3rd being a nna in short on a neckless chain... I guess I should have stated " why " when CC for personal protection why would you carry a second revolver..

Same reasons. I carry same/same off or on duty, generally. Going to the pool or the like, different setup, but day to day, same/same.

Gottya, understand.. For me, everyday now is like going to the pool.

You wear swim trunks around all the time? That's the life.

I've done the 3 gun thing in the winter. Revolver in top coat pocket, revolver on ankle, revolver or semi-auto on belt. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, but I always felt better knocking on a door with a gun in my hand in my coat pocket if I wasn't real sure what was on the other side. If it's hinky, real quick reaction time. If it's little old lady, I'm just a guy who's cold with his hand in his pocket.

Sometimes one is five,
And sometimes one is 18.
18 is more better.

I carry 2 spare mags in a Blackhawk double mag carrier. Inexpensive and easy setup.
A 2nd gun comes into play when I drive out of town for anything. Then usually a 642 in an ankle holster.

This is what I use most of the time. It's horizontal and fits on my belt. It's very discreet and comes in many gun models.

I was carrying two spares at 9'oclock in a Safariland paddle. Easy on/off with good retention. Didn't hide too well with just a tee shirt on, but didn't look like a couple mags.

Recently got a JM Custom AIWB SPMP. Single mag, carried at about 11'oclock, appendix style. It is comfortable and hides the mag completely. Still working on getting it quickly (I keep going to last place I carried).

My food blister slows me down a bit, but I like the mag holder and feel that I will get faster with it.

I have used on the belt mag carriers but my snag mag makes carrying single stack mags so easy. Now I never leave without a reload.

 

[tcecil88]

Always have a reload for any weapon I have with me when out and about. I carry my primary reloads in a OWB mag pouch and a reload for the bug inside the small pocket in my cargo pocket.

I've been trying to find something for my new single stack mags. I found an found an old knife pouch that fit the mag good. I put a steel belt clip on it from an old cheap holster. Working good so far.

I made my own IWB holster out of kydex.

Glock-27 in one pocket or side, a 15 rd spare in the off pocket or other side, just do it.

Dang HP, you do some great work.
