I don't often carry a BUG, but when I do it is a compact 1911 in a Milt Sparks Summer Special holster. It is at 10 o'clock, which provides easy right-hand access, but difficult left-hand access. Primary is a full size 1911 in a M.S. VM2 at 3 o'clock (right hip).

If I'm carrying my Shield or Glock 23 in an OWB holster, I'll AIWB carry my PF9 sometimes.
If I'm open carrying my 1911 or Glock 23, I always carry my Shield or PF9 AIWB concealed. Pocket carry just doesn't work for me, so any BUG has to be on the belt. |

When hiking I've carried as many as 3 guns on the belt (Beretta M9A1 owb strongside, Ruger Blackhawk crossdraw, and Ruger LC9 aiwb).
It's not uncommon for me to carry the Beretta strongside and the LC9 aiwb when I work at the local gunstore. |

I read an interesting article years ago about "Mirror Carry" The author carried two G26s in leather pancake rigs on the 3 and 9. Looked to be an awesome setup.
I think a dual set of 43s would be great for this purpose. |

I've meet a couple people who carry a pair of Glock 19s in AIWB.

One G19 w/ reloads.
The end. |

One G19 w/ reloads. The end. Already got that, but I almost always carry a second gun. Honestly, I see it more as hand off piece for my wife than thinking I'll need a second pistol myself. |

Seems like an unnecessary complication. |

Seems like an unnecessary complication. It's very difficult for a young, thin woman with any sense of style to dress around a gun. Men's clothes are much more forgiving when it somes to concealment options. Women's clothes are shorter, more fitted, have tiny or nonexistent pockets, etc. They can't get away with a loose fitting button down and a pair of comfortable jeans. When she does carry her own gun, it's limited to a hard chromed KelTec P32 with belt clip tucked into her waistband. |

Second gun is overkill.
What are the statistical odds that any non-LEO gets in a gunfight and has to go to a BUG? Better off taking spare mags, as it will be quicker to clear a malfunction than switch to a second gun. |

And she lives in HOT Las Vegas.

I just don't think you carrying a pistol for both you and your wife is real practical. Shit, her carrying almost any gun is better than you carrying both. That being said, it's good to hear she's on board with the subject in principle...now to get her something she can and will apply. Given you two aren't always together, I think it'd be a good idea if she were more autonomous in regards to her and both of your self defense. |

Since I picked up the Glock 43 I've been experimenting with carrying it SOB in a cheap IWB holster. It's actually very comfortable and conceals easily in the hollow of my back between 6-7 o'clock with my G19 at 3-4 o'clock. It's also easily accessible with either hand which is a major plus. I'd like to find another holster that would be comfortable in the same location, but that has more retention. A simple clip style kydex IWB would work but I don't think it be as comfortable.

I know a bunch of ARfcommers have some kind of wet dream where they need a bunch of guns/knives but realistically the more you carry the harder retention is. Your more likely to be involved in a physical altercation then a shooting. In a physical altercation your more likely to have gear go flying or have it taken from you.
If you absolutely must carry a second gun for peace of mind your probably better off putting it in a pocket. |

Non LEOs carrying multiple guns is a bit Walter Mitty but if you mast carry more than one then pocket carry makes the most sense. When I'm not in my tac gear I carry a second gun on my ankle only because the BUGs I'm authorized to carry can't fit in a pocket. I've tried to carry a second on my belt, but the belt got heavy with everything else I have to carry. Off duty I carry one fighting sized gun and multiple reloads. |

If I'm going to carry two guns, It's a glock 17 ans a glock 26. I use knight hawk IWB holsters. their 10 bucks.

Most malfunction drills require dropping the magazine, then addressing the issue, then retrieving another magazine, then inserting, and chambering. I've practiced my tap/rack/bang and sports drills. Whether its rifle or pistol, a second gun is ALWAYS faster to draw. |
