Do you carry a Backup Gun (BUG)?

[Birds Away]

I don't currently have one suitable for this use. I have in the past but I rarely carry two anyway.

Have you lost weight? Your pants are so much baggier than the last time I saw you.

Yeah, it continues to decrease over time, slowly but surely.

Extra points for tossing that empty pistol (0:23) like a hot potato!

... I call it a BUG/Primary as that's the common vernacular. Truly I view it more as an alternative gun than a "back up" like a spare tire. The situation dictates which I'm going for first, and much like the "use a pistol to fight to a rifle" theory, if the situation dictates I'll use my BUG to fight to my primary.

QFT.

I always have mt NAA 22lr tucked in the bottom of my pocket or around my neck. As a BUG

No, my glock 19 is all I carry.
If I was a cop or worked in a gun shop, so something like that... then yeah, I'da carry a back up.
Probably a 5 shot aluminum frame 38spl.

That's me. Some of my co-workers make fun of me but my normal carry is a Glock 21 cross carry on my left side exposed and a G30 covered on my right at 4 O'clock. I feel I can draw faster cross carry and definitely retain better if someone tries for a grab. They pretty well have to come at me from the front. While I've got my left arm clamped down on the gun I can try to get the 30 with my right and put some rounds into their gut/groin. The fact that the 30 can use the 21 mags makes the combination natural. (That would also go for a combination of 19/26 or 23/27.

I just carry an extra mag. Not that I'm opposed to it though. I've carried my 19 and 26 a few times, just not very often.

Glock 23 with Ruger LCP as back up.

 

[familyevents]

Carry a Sig P238 IWB and sometimes add a NAA 22 in ankle holster, or also have a nice belt holster for it.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Nope. Just the one.

 

[BFR50-110]

I sometimes carry my NAA Black Widow .22 mag as a backup. Other times I carry my Bond Arms Backup as a backup. It depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing.

 

[OutdoorDad]

nope. and seldom an additional mag.

but i practice emptying that mag quickly and on target.



and i try not to go places where i'm expecting trouble or being outnumbered.

 

[Defensive Shooting Concepts]

Glock 19 and a Glock 42. Also a spear mag for 19 and at least one knife.
