CCW: How many have you actually carried ... at one time?

[UWstudent]

me and bratch share a lot in common

 

[oldtrooper]

Just out and about around town off duty one on the hip (G23)
Road trip the G23 on the hip and a S&W 342 on the left inside ankle.
In the office, where I am at most of the time,a G23 on the hip and another S&W 342 in the top right desk drawer.
Another ankle holster in the desk incase I'm going out on something with the shift on duty to put the 342 in and strap on.

 

[TC-TX]

Usually One - Two at times

Normal Conditions - Just one Hi Cap Auto...

Other than normal - Two for sure...

 

[BHPshooter]

I always carry. Usually it's the BHP with two spare mags on the weak side. When the mood strikes me, I will complement that with a 1911 as my BUG (That is, until I can get my NAA fixed.)

The most I have carried was the same setup as above, but with a NAA minimag in the back pocket as well.

I always have a 1911 on my hip and usually a spare mag. 9 days out of 10 I have either my ancient model 36 in my pocket or my R9 behind my wallet. So almost always 2, sometimes 1. NEVER less than 1.

Have CCed three pistols, with a shotgun within easy reach. I carry two pistols on occasion, not enough to say its common practice, but enough to say its not uncommon, if that makes any sense.

Most of the time I just have my 5" Kimber and one spare mag on my body (more in the truck).

 

[Erik]

Two.
Three wouldn't be a big deal, though.

"Duty" pistol
J frame
Seecamp

Well, since starting this thread, I've been experimenting with ankle carry. I see the debate between Biker and JMusic. Ankle wouldn't be my preferred carry method, but work and dress often preclude IWB. I've been carrying either a Kahr P9 or Kel-Tec P11 in a DeSantis Apache rig with some success. So now I'm routinely carrying two: a Kel-Tec P32 in a pocket holster and a 9mm on the ankle. The .32 is much faster on the draw, but the 9mm is there if needed and I have a couple extra seconds.

 

[glockamolee]

A Kel Tec, Hi Power, Glock 29, K Frame Smith, 1911. All have, at one time or another, been on my hip. Mexican carry for all except the glock and 1911; unfortunately, they require a holster.

 

[Marshall]

Most? 2

Usually? 1

 

[SUPERMAN .45]

If i'm on duty I carry 2 hi-cap pistols, my primary is on my right hip and my BUG is on my left inside the pants holster. Sometimes I carry my .25 cal. in an ankle holster.

 

[Manedwolf]

Two. As backup, a Beretta Jetfire .25 loaded with mixed FMJ and Gold Dots on the ankle with loose-cuff jeans can't hurt, I figure.

 

[The Real Hawkeye]

Curious. I hear about primaries, and backups ... but how many have you actually carried at one time?

When I carry it's typically only one, and despite having spare mag and flashlight holders, it's usually the one gun with fully loaded magazine plus one in the chamber and no spare mag. But I have carried three concealed guns at once, just to see if it could be done.

How about you? It's got to be CCW in public, not just "around the house."

I used to carry at least two guns, my primary and my secondary, which I called my "always gun." Now I just carry my primary, which at the moment is a full sized, full weight 1911 style .45 ACP. When I used to carry two guns, I would occasionally throw in a third, which was my little North American Arms .22 lr mini-revolver. Number two was a little .32 ACP auto pistol by Kel Tec. My .45 has a mag that holds eight rounds. I find magazine holsters uncomfortable, so don't carry an extra mag. In the old days, people carried a black powder six gun with only five chambers charged and felt pretty well protected from ordinary victimization attempts. I feel pretty well armed with eight rounds of .45 ACP on tap. I figure I can put at least four people down with that, and as many as eight. If I'm a really bad shot under stress, I figure I can put at least two people down with eight rounds. Realistically, though, how often will you win a gun fight against three armed attackers anyway? Not that I wouldn't give it my best shot.

 

[Dusty Rusty]

Ususally only one on me but sometimes two if I'm out at night by myself.

 

[Deathrider1579]

The most I have CCed is 3. At the time I was the only one in what is left of my family who had a CHL. so when we would go out at night to the movies or for dinner I would carry one for each of us (me, brother, mom) since then mom got her CHL so now until my lil' bro gets his CHL (3 more months) I will only be carrying 2.

I feel its my responsibility to carry enough firepower to protect me and those im out and about with.

[Optical Serenity]

On duty I typically carry two guns...off duty, three:

Fullsize HK USP or USP Compact OWB, Keltec p32 in pocket, and Glock 27 on ankle.
