Just curious how many dual EDC?

[Texasgrillchef]

Plus, the best speed-loaders are bulky, so, a second compact revolver is about as easy to tote as a speed-loader.

unless the revolvers are Ruger super Reds! Lol

Obviously only in areas that allow it...

Just curious how many of you dual EDC?

If so, how/where do you carry both? Always both concealed, one open and one concealed or both open? (where allowed of course). Also where? Belt, appendix, ankle, pocket, shoulder, etc?

Me? Hiking on fair traveled trails.... 45 shoulder mount on backpack strap, with .410 derringer on my belt. Hiking in the back country, 454 on chest, 92fs on belt drop leg mount, and 410 Derringer on my belt. Depending on the threat, depends on which gun I will go for first. Obviously at least one gun is open carry depending on weather. In some cases all are being openly carried. Really not an issue in the back country that I am found. Along with carrying my LTC, I also keep current hunting licenses just to support the state, and to CYA.

In town EDC, p365 on belt, and either 410 derringer on belt in cross carry, or p238 ankle carry. P365 is always main, 410 Or p238 is backup, unless we are talking small animal (dog) or snake, then I’ll pull my derringer. One shot should be all it takes with a 410.
All three are very easy concealable, printing happens, but in Texas printing is not an issue when it comes to defining conceal/open carry.

I used to EDC 3 pistols when I was a cop,even when off duty.

1 on strong side [ right ] in 4 o'clock OWB G-23


2nd on ankle ,S&W 442 or 360PD

3rd pocket,generally LCP right side pocket.

There are many guns that replace all but the G-23,that was a constant with at least 1 spare high cap mag.

NOW = retired,I generally EDC a single G-19 w spare mag.. UNLESS leaving my neighborhood,then the S&W is on me in ankle or pocket.

I very seldom, carry more than one now a days, if you would have caught up to me while I wore the badge and blue, you would have found at minimum three on me. If I feel the need now its still a battle pistol for main, and either my THP in a neck holster, or one of the mini wonder nines in a neck holster to match

 

[jeepnik]

Pretty much carry this in addition to anything else I might be carrying.

 

[Phaedrus/69]

I almost never carry carry two sidearms on me around town but I often do when camping or hiking, mostly due to bears.

 

[Howland937]

I carry a P238 sometimes as a weak side backup. I'm not as sold on its ability to stop a threat as I once was but for something I can control and manipulate if my right arm is no longer of use, it lends itself well to one handed operation.

Same with me I have one of those little 5 shot guns on my body no matter what else I carry often 2 of them.No good reason not to.The point of these Very small,but not useless revolvers is swimsuit,bathrobe,what ever have a gun.

 

[JDeere]

Don't need but one...Hope like heck I never need it...

 

[Coyote3855]

I carry a P3AT in a pocket holster all the time. When I leave the house to work around the property, I carry a Kel Tec PMR 30 for ground squirrels. If I'm going to town, it's a Kimber LW .45 ACP. Sometimes I leave the P3AT in my pocket, sometimes I take it out.

Well the added benefit of why shotguns in general make good SD weapons, is that your aim doesn’t always have to be right on target.

On some range trip, you might find it instructive to set up cardboard or paper targets at 5, 10, 15, and 20 feet, or to your farthest defensive scenario, and see what your pattern looks like. It will vary some depending on what shells you use.

You might also want to look at the drywall/inside partition penetration tests on boxotruth.com.

Based on my own close-range pattern tests and boxotruth's penetration tests, I felt there wasn't enough difference between my Mossberg and my AR for there to be a clear advantage for either.

I went with a wood-stocked shotgun without accoutrements, figuring it would give a prosecutor less to work with than an "evil black rifle." But I'm under no illusions about its pattern or penetrating ability compared to a .223 rifle.

Jim Cirillo called his back-up guns a "New York Reload." And he usually carried 3.

The only time I carry two guns is if I'm someplace where the critter threat requires it. In that case it's a GP100, typically with hardcast (for the four-legged critters) and an LCR with snakeshot (for the slithering critters). In the event, though, I've never had to use either, which is just fine by me.

I've got something similar on my belt right now ( not as pretty though). I'm not sure if I consider it my primary and the G29 backup or the other way around. Either way, I seldom carry them both at the same time. I have two rounds of snake shot ready to go in the revolver.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

Normally, a Kimber UCDP .45 @ 3:30 OWB in a Don Hume JIT Slide, and a KelTec P32 BUG in a Pro Tech pocket holster, right back pocket. At times the Kimber could be supplanted by a S&W M&PII, a Glock 26, or a Glock 29, depending on where I may find myself/what I am doing.

 

[david58]

I believe New Mexico allows only 1 concealed handgun at a time.

You are correct, NM only allows one. So one on me, one on my wife, one in the console, etc etc

 

[entropy]

Not often, but I have. Most likely for that to occur is when hunting; I carry one open, to hunt with, and one CCW, because I can. Bob Crotteau and others hunting with him might be alive today were they allowed to carry concealed while hunting.

I knew Bob. This tragedy is well remembered in this neck of the woods.

 

[psyopspec]

Sometimes I'll carry my wife's gun for her. If it's date night and she's wearing a slim fitting dress, I'll carry my gun AIWB and her Glock 43 will ride in an IWB holster at a left hand draw, around 7:30/8 o'clock on the belt line.

 

[bikerdoc]

Never, one 1911, sometimes full size, sometimes, officers model.

 

[Whiskeyhotel2020]

Every so often I'll carry a ruger sp101 9mm in an ankle holster. Usually it's just in case I get the wifey glare and huffing of doom when she see me threading a belt through holster loops. That way I can take that gun off but still leave the house wearing the one she didn't see me put on. Oh and a NAA BUGII in 22 mag. In my right pocket.

I just remembered that one time, when I hurt my lower back, in a way that caused the muscles to tend to spasm and cramp, a balanced load was so very important, in being able to walk, for several days, or perhaps somewhat longer than that. I had one Airweight J-Frame, and went to a local gun store and bought one of the Airlite J-Frames. While an Airlite is two ounces different, in weight, that was closer than my Airweight, and an all-steel gun.

My back healed, of course, but I know that some folks deal with ongoing back pain. So, a balanced load remains a valid need, for many folks. I recall reading about some people being unable to carry a waist level, due to an injury or infirmity, and needing to carry a balanced shoulder rig. While one can carry magazines or other accessories to balance a shoulder rig, a pair of identical handguns is truly balanced, and presents a balanced visual profile, underneath a cover garment.

Of course, projecting a balanced visual profile enhances the concealment factor, which is applicable to all who carry concealed. A lack of symmetry catches the attention of many eyes.
