not to be controversial here (just trying to add to the discussion), but I actually talked with Gabe about it at a class I took with him and he said that he rarely if ever carries dual appendix. Perhaps he was just writing the article as a kind of thesis of potential back up gun placement options, IDK. I, for one, think carrying that way would be incredibly uncomfortable.
I've carried a BUG several times, but quite frankly I just lose interest in the CCW arms race and rarely do anymore. I always carry a spare magazine for my Glock 19 though.
One time I do like to carry a BUG is when I'm at the range. There's plenty of times where it's easy to get caught dry when doing drills and I like to have at least an LCR or J Frame in my pocket.
Like Jay the only time I carry a spare gun is at the range, heck I only carry a spare mag maybe 50% of the time.
I guess I'm just a dead man walking with my P2000SK 10+1 9mm.
