How many of you CCW two guns at once? - Page 4

Auto5 · August 17, 2014, 08:29 PM

During the winter months, when my primary is buried under a heavy coat or jacket, I slip a bobbed hammer .38 snub or my lcp in my outer coat pocket.

rjfleming · August 17, 2014, 10:53 PM

As a Volunteer Paramedic I Always carry either a Walther PPQ M1 9mm (winter) or a Walther PPS 9mm (summer) both AIWB with one or two extra magazines, but when responding to a medical call at certain Flagged address's (Felon of one sort or another) or any other suspicious call I will put a .22lr Beretta bobcat with CT Laser grip in a front pocket just in case.

you have 2 hands

life comes at you from all directions

---> why would you limit your ability to respond to just one side

and practice with both hands will serve you well should one arm
be damaged before or because of an action.
further, CCW's located separately on your body will facilitate
acquisition when seated or belted in a car.

I like my antiques for around town so I usually carry Ivar Johnson and H&R Top breaks in .38 S&W in custom holsters fitted into my jacket but I also carry IWB so I can carry one .38 S&W usually my Ivar Johnson hammerless IWB and then the H&R in a fitted holster in my jacket and then use the second holster for a H&R in .32 S&W. or I may substitute a .38 S&W Webbley or something else. I carry quick loader for what ever I am carrying on a given day

I also have shoulder rigs that I can customize to carry any of my black powder C&Bs or my 624 or my Automag.

What I carry depends on where I am going on any individual day and what I am driving.

I'm curious, what constitutes a Webley day as opposed to a Automag day or a cap and ball day?

FM12 · August 20, 2014, 01:15 AM

When I worked uniform patrol, carried at least2: In summer had my primary duty wep (usually a 9MM or 45 semi) and a charter arms 38 in an ankle holster. In cold/cooler weather,also carried a Browning Hi cap 380 in a shoulder holster under a jacket/coat.

dawg23 · August 20, 2014, 10:01 PM

One G19 (18 rounds) plus one reload (17 rounds).

Plus a couple of knives.

Ya, I like old things. And my wife (Thank God) does also

.

I learned a thing or two from this old thread which is a good thing for an old dog.

I do not CC two guns, but I do keep a break-down 300BLK ar-pistol in a small duffle in the truck with a few mags. that goes into the office with me. you know, for that crazy SHTF scenario that we all know isn't going to happen, but we kinda want it to......until it really does

Stevie-Ray · August 22, 2014, 01:09 PM

Nothing wrong with resurrecting an old thread, especially when many of the latest posters weren't even members yet when it was first implemented. Likely most of the others simply missed it the first time.

I find it rather refreshing that our new members are searching for their answers.

dayman · August 24, 2014, 04:01 PM

Every time I wear a long sleeve shirt.

But seriously, is rare for me.
Sometimes in the winter I have my EDC buried under layers, and pop a revolver in my overcoat pocket.
But in general, I'd prefer to fill the space with a spare mag for my primary.

kutz · August 24, 2014, 04:36 PM

Can't carry 2 in New Mexico it's the law!

Deja vu · August 24, 2014, 08:03 PM

2 with reloads for the primary.

Primary: S&W Jframe with a 8 shot speed strip
Secondary: NAA 22 short no reloads.

X_shooter · August 24, 2014, 08:11 PM

Typically one, but two on occasion. I have not given much thought why two is warranted. It just feels better sometimes. Two on body as well as one on and one off.

Gary L. Griffiths · August 24, 2014, 08:29 PM

ALWAYS have my Ruger LCP, most often also have my Springfield XDs.

TRX · August 27, 2014, 06:59 PM

ALWAYS have my Ruger LCP, plus the J-frame in the summer or a full-size .45 in the winter.

Dirty_Harry · August 28, 2014, 03:06 PM

HK P2000 or P30 and one extra magazine 9 months out of the year.

In the summer Smith J frame with a speedloader.

Yung.gunr · August 29, 2014, 05:08 PM

Right now I feel nekkid as I have not been carrying any guns for two weeks. I broke and cut my trigger finger a couple weeks ago working on a washer. Can't draw much less shoot. Yes, yes I need to do more weak side practice.

At any rate, I usually carry one out of three options. Pocket auto TCP, bigger PT709 or Springfield XD9. When I go into not so good areas, like where my FIL lives I will carry my TCP as a BUG to one of the others. Usually no reloads.
When I'm on a road trip or camping I'm usually a walking arsenal with reloads and multiple guns.

The depth of the thread resurrection on this site has always amazed me. Some of you guys dig DEEP into the search function.

That being said:

I'm a 1 gun with an extra mag type of guy. Sig Sauer P220 in 45 ACP.

s3779m · September 3, 2014, 06:21 AM

It's new to me. I just carry the one CZ 75. Usually a pocket knife also but its not really for sd.

10Ringmagic · September 3, 2014, 07:42 AM

Since buying a Taurus TCP 738 for carry when nothing else seems to work, I found that it was just so easy to carry it even when carrying something else.

So yeah, I carry two most times.

You are hardcore!

Glad you are good with carrying antiques to save your bacon.

As for me, I will carry the most modern firearm and ammunition combo I can, till they come out with the hand held phaser!

camsdaddy · September 4, 2014, 10:27 AM

I have actually considered adding another firearm. I carry a Glock 19 in a Smartcarry and while standing I can draw almost as quick as any other holster option. When seated I would have to rock back to draw. I have debated a J frame in my front pocket so as I stood my hand would be on the grip.

Shooterstarget · September 7, 2014, 10:05 AM

Full size G21 at the 3:00 position with a bug either in the pocket carry or IWB 7:00.
Don't leave home with out them!
