I took a firearms training course over the weekend and the instructor said something that I had never really thought about, but make sense.
He highly recommended that you have TWO of whatever gun you carry. One exclusively for practice and one exclusively for carry. His reasoning is that you need to practice a lot to be good with your CCW and that wears out parts of your gun. Therefore you should not carry the gun you practice with as it would be more likely to have a broken part (ex. sheared off extractor)
So...obviously, it costs money to have two of the same gun. But I am wondering how many of you out there actually DO have two of the same gun for exclusive carry/practice use.
