Weak side holster for emergencies?
I recall an article (I think the author was Mas) several years ago recommending that handgun users have a holster for their off side in case their primary shooting hand/arm was incapacitated, but they still needed to carry a handgun. This sounds like a good idea. Maybe its time to buy a simple OWB G17 w/optic JMCK lefty for my various double stack 9mm Glocks...
Mags did suggest it in print…

Yes, it was an old Handgunner article, I believe. Haven’t looked at it in awhile, but I believe Mas had broken several fingers in his primary hand, and took a class “wrong handed”. He advocated shooting a class or qual w/the usual support hand as a way of empathizing with new students. I have also read somewhere that running a piece mirror image, as it were, reinforces fundamentals and manipulations. I’m not sure about that; I’ll let someone smarter like @John Hearne hopefully comment.
I do know that after shoulder surgery years ago I ran strong side only for a few weeks, and noted improvement.
FWIW, the Glock “Sport Combat” holster is an ambi. I’ll check when I get back to office for optic fit.
