Re: BACK UP GUN, anyone carry more than one FA?
When I got my Shield I carried it as a BUG for about 4 months in an ankle holster. Then it became a PITA. It's still carried as a BUG but not that often.
Don’t take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.

Re: BACK UP GUN, anyone carry more than one FA?
I think life will always be a balance
One should always be as prepared as can be.
One cannot live permanently in the red zone or we would be wearing matrix overcoats with 1301's under the shoulder all day and a group of similarly armed friends moving in formation.
There was a discussion awhile back about readiness vs quality of life... It didn't end well for the OP, I did feel he had some valid points thou. Sometimes it's hard to explain swimming with a backpack.
Is a backup weapon a good idea, Definitely. Some people will feel the extra weight as comfort and others as a bain.

Agreed - Each to their own.

Re: BACK UP GUN, anyone carry more than one FA?
If this was the US I'd have a 10.5"AR "pistol" with a Sig-brace on it and a 20 round mag in my car.
I have carried a spare gun once or twice, generally in sketchy situations which can't be avoided and where I'd prefer to take some mates with long guns but can't.
But generally? No. If I owned a Shield or G43 maybe but not a G26, which while small isn't a "small" gun.
Sure a gun can go tits up and having it happen when you need it will be kak but playing the odds...

Re: BACK UP GUN, anyone carry more than one FA?
If you think 3 is alot ?
If you live in CPT and have shot pins at least once.
You should now the guy I talk about.
Who always carries all the firearms he owns on him. Always. And its well, more then 3.
An average person will not be able to carry the weight this guy carries around.
