carrying two big guns at the same time

jframe, I have never seen that before, and I don't know how I've made it this far without seeing that. I think it answers my question too.
 
;)

Two is easy to do and not a problem. I've tried to get to 10 and it's tough to do if you use holsters. I felt like I was wearing a gun diaper. Both back and front pockets (4), Smart Carry (1) or appendix, small of back (1) and strongside (2). Add two with long guns slung, but that's cheating. Dual shoulder holsters would get you two more. If you don't require holsters, just stuff them into boots or socks, pockets, belts, etc. Walking is nearly impossible. Limiting yourself to two is better.
 
The only practical reason would be as a NY reload...

add -- and as life comes at you from every which way, you have 2 hands...
use each as needed if each has something to hold; and you have trained accordingly.

i carried for work strong-side a defender or a p239/40 and weak-side in a vest or coat pocket a 642 or a 332. the pockets were enlarged and reinforced. any coat (cold weather or rain type) that covered my IWB primary had a slit cut in the pocket such that my hand could pass through and access the gun. twice that was a deciding factor in deflecting unwanted advances from 'strangers'.
and having my hand wrapped around a revolver in the same pocket 'they' saw me put the car keys in ( there was a divider) worked to change their minds when they demanded my car keys but i took out something unexpected instead. also when talking to people who may be feeling you out, having a hand in a coat pocket with a gun throws them off their game as you are not acting like a victim yet they can not see your little friend.

NY re-load or covering more bases...whatever works for you.
 
Sounds like the OP is headed to AK. To me a much more sensible thing than two handguns would be a nice 4"- handgun to carry at all times and a short carbine of the same caliber to add when in the bush.
If in town and thinking the wheel gun is to short on ammo add in a 9 or 40 auto with a spare mag.
 
I don't suppose I could convince you to carry just one Glock 20 with a 15 round magazine? It's approaching the power of a 38/357 (or more for some loads) and will enable you to run more quickly to or away from your opponent since your pants won't be down around your ankles.
Just a thought...

My rig for AK I pictured used the strap for the longer butcher type Mad dog blade worn over the shoulder , the MD "Dundee rig" . It fully supports the tactical belt front and rear ala Sam Browne style. Like I said the 4" light weight Mountain revolver slips off the belt for times not beating the bush actively hunting ect. A 300 grain .44 magnum will take down quickly any thing that walks the US, properly hit.

That assumes one is still able to run these days. :scrutiny:

I'm sort of puzzled by this. If you can conceal one big revolver, a second one shouldn't actually be a problem. People are more or less symmetrical, after all. We have two eyes, two ears, two hands, and most pertinently, two sides. Find what works on the one side, and do the same on the other. Simple. In a number of ways, carrying two is actually easier. If you bulge the same on both sides, it's less noticeable than having an asymmetrical, single bulge. One of the biggest drawbacks to a heavy gun is that it drags at you unevenly. Two balances the load.

If you can't conceal two, can you really conceal one?

Of course it is doable, I was looking for something more along the lines of what would be a good way of going about it and still be able to conceal it. I'm thinking gp100 on strong side and sp101 on crossdraw (both carried owb of course, after all if I have to wear a jacket and carry that much weight I may as well be comfortable).
 
I've carried two revolvers before but never two big ones. Usually its two snubbies in my Sig Sauer leather jacket. One in the hidden holster on each side.

If your set on carrying the GP100 your best bet would be a belt holster and a pocket gun like a J-frame.
 
My choices if I were to carry two:A glock 30 11 rounds of .45 acp on tap, and a 21 magazine for a reload strong side IWB. And an lcp .380 pocket with two spare magazines. If a revolver 627 pc with 8 rounds on tap and a few 8 round moon clips strong side belt holster, Backup a smith 642 pocket carry.
