When a patrol officer in uniform about 25 years ago, I carried three: One main sidearm in the regular place on the gun belt, one in a shoulder holster (Browning BDA .380) and a .38 charter arms revo in an ankle holster.
I helped rescue a fellow officer once that had been shot 3 times with his own weapon. He didnt have a back up gun for protection. Made quite an impression on me!
Nowadays, as a plain clothes (mostly) officer, I wear my main pistol: Sig 229 40 S&W, on the strong side and another, Usually a Springer 1911 or Glock 21SF, in a shoulder holster, all covered neatly by a lightweight sleeveless khaki vest. And handcuffs,spare magazine and small flashlight. Just tools of the trade.
Old habits die hard, I guess.
