I currently have my Taurus .45 mill. pro. I OC it right now, I bought it for its size/caliber combination, very conceilable. When I get my CCW, I will be concealing it. However, the thought has occured to me, what would I do if I needed to draw, and she jammed?
Now, obvioulsy, I could 'try' and clear the jam and hope I am still alive to get another shot off, however, it would seem that the best option in this scenario would actually be a second pistol, possibly a smaller caliber and/or revolver, possibly even something with less power (not tryin to start that old debate here) but more reliable or some-such.
So basically, is carrying two pistols common at all, do most of y'all only carry the one and just hope it works fine when/if needed? (I have never had a problem with mine, but I would not like to bet my life on even that slight of a risk, since it is probably your life on the line)
Of course, I have thought about when I get my CCW, carrying the .45 concealed, and getting a larger gun, possibly a .480 ruger or something (bigger is better huh? haha) an OCing it
