Backup gun location

I carry strong side left handed with an IWB holster. My weak side I have an original Ruger LCP I carry in a Remora holster in my right pocket.
Do most carry there backup opposite side of their strong side weapon?

 

Being Lefthanded in the right handed world one to a degree becomes ambidextrous. When I employ a backup its in the righthand trouser pocket.

 

I am left-handed, but right-armed. Write lefty; throw righty. Which is my “strong” side? Well, OK, my default “primary” handgun position has been at or near 0300, since 1983. Yes, a pocket holster can be a good way to carry an additional gun. Access to what would normally be the “support hand” seems, to me, to be ideal.

So can a good ankle holster, when one’s trousers are of sufficient length, and sufficiently voluminous. I am well into AARP eligibility, and have never had the best balance, so, I reckon that I am all the more likely to end up on the ground. On the ground, that ankle rig may well be more-accessible than some pockets.

An AIWB holster can be a good way to tote an additional weapon. I have not normally toted a primary handgun AIWB, but it makes sense for an additional weapon.

 

I carry my regular CCW at about 4 O'clock OWB. The only time I carry a "backup" CCW is when I go to church (like this morning), and it's in a side pocket on my Bible cover. No, I didn't get the idea from "The Shawshank Redemption" - I figured out all by myself that when I'm seated in church, a gun in the Bible cover on my lap is probably easier to get to than the one tucked behind my right hip.

 

My backup is a Seecamp .32acp. I am right handed. Appendix carry XDs.45 on the right side. Seecamp sits in a pocket holster in my right rear pocket.

 

My carry pistol is a shield 9. I don't carry a backup handgun, but each of my vehicles has a Glock 19 (with 2 extra mags and a holster) secured on-board.

 

I carry my primary CCW strong side (right) IWB at 4:00 and in my right side front pocket goes my back-up. Cell phome goes in my left front pocket with spare mag IWB left side at 3:00.

 

My backup is a Glock 43 in an ankle holster, or in my left boot if I am wearing those. Should probably upgrade to a 43X or a Sig P365XL.

 

Carry one Taurus PT732 in a Bulldog holster on the right hand side and another PT732 in a pocket holster on the left hand side.

 

Usually on my belt line at about 9:30 Primary is cross draw on right side.

 

my bug is in my left pocket. i am right-handed.

When I carry a backup its a Glock 19 AIWB. Everyday I carry a J frame in my right front pocket and just because Im carrying a bigger gun doesn't make it less relevant.

 

When I carried a BUG years ago I kept it in an ankle holster. Inside leg, non dominant leg. I could reach it with either hand. I believe the principle importance of a BUG is the ability to reach it with either hand. Another option is to carry a small firearm along the waistline, opposite your primary but canted where it can be grabbed with either hand. I have done that with a NAA magnum revolver many times.

 

I haven’t carried a bug much. I have carried an NAAmini in my left front pocket. And I’ve carried a bersa thunder small of back, iwb (crack carry) in a left hand holster. I also carry a knife crack carry occasionally.

 

Used to be that when I'd carry a backup, it was weak side, front pocket. Lately I've been carrying it IWB at 10:00 in a RH holster for access with either hand. Figured out retrieving it from LF pocket with right hand required flexibility I don't possess.

 

Bring left-handed, my BUG is typically accessible by my right-hand. Due to carry safety concerns, it may not be as "deployable" as my primary, but I OK with that "risk".

 

I don't carry 75 guns, just 1 lol.

 

Taurus G2C on primary (left) side, on the belt.

Ruger LCP-MAX, primary side, front pocket.

NAA .22LR 1.125" revolver, jeans watch pocket (right side), turned butt to left, hidden behind cellphone pouch.

There is also a knife on my secondary side.

I want to one day ditch belt carry for tucked-in shirts again, in which case the LCP-MAX would become the primary. Getting ready for this is the reason for this setup. A spare magazine for the Ruger currently rides on the belt toward my right rear, where it will stay.

 

I carry a Glock 42 in a Vedder pocket locker in my left front pocket. I draw and practice both hands strong and weak side regularly with primary (G29) and weak side one handed (BUG).

It's worth mentioning that I have zero issues left or right handed with the smallest Glock, its the only application in which I routinely practice one handed (left) almost 100% of the time.

ZT 4" folder strong hand accessible.
Sabre Red weak hand accessible.

I suppose you might say I've had a bad experience in Houston a time or two.

Cheers,

When I was law enforcement I carried my BUG (one of them anyway), accessible to my weak side hand. The purpose being to get it into action if I was in a struggle over my primary weapon and using my dominant hand to keep it in the holster.

Nowadays I don't carry a backup. You can drive yourself crazy prepping for every situation and Murphy moment. I consider it enough insurance that I'm armed, have good awareness, and get home well before dark. I'm probably a much less desirable target than the multitudes of oblivious individuals walking around with their faces stuck in their $1000 phones with no idea what's going on around them.

 

In the waist around 2:30 and left front pocket. For years it was Two J-Frames. Lately I’ve been trying the Shield in the waist.

 

If i carry 2 guns . M337PD/Ankle. M60/pocket.

Extra ammo back pocket.

 

My backup gun is typically at home in the gun safe.

If I were to carry one, it’d likely be weak side pocket.

 

In my wife's purse.

Pity the fool that causes her to pull it out.

 

Primary in the left front pocket (I'm a lefty). Backup IWB or OWB or right side backpack pocket or backpack top pocket.
I'm strongly looking at a backpack shoulder strap holster, but I'm not sure if I want to go open carry???
I like to also place my Backup in a convenient location in the car while driving.

Did i mention primary carry always in my front pocket.
