There is no doubt on why LEO's carry a B.U.G.; in the line of fire & there day to day business: they need it..
Looking at the day-to-day civilian, if he has a primary carry & extra mag giving him extra firepower: why the need for an extra gun? You have more than enough and I assume are smart to the point of seeking cover before the "calvary" arrives..
So, the only explanation for the B.U.G. is IF your primary fails...If you have not thoroughly tested out your piece & have the utmost confidence in it: you selected & have the WRONG weapon....
Most PD schools that deal with non-law enforcement students do not deal with this issue at any length...Even tactical re-load practice is a has-been....
As my mentor, B.Steiner, once suggested: acquire some martial-arts training instead of the extra piece....
