Over time, I have come to realize that a spare double stack magazine carried behind the hip prints more than my AIWB pistol. That led me to carrying a spare magazine AIWB in a Mastermind or equivalent soft mag carrier. The magazine takes little extra space, and maybe even balances out the pistol in weight and printing. That works well for my manner of dress, which is a light and knife in my front left pocket and iPhone in my front right pocket.
All this BUG talk has me wondering about what I carry. Ankle holsters are out between the 90 minutes a day I average hiking, and shorts for much of the year. My pockets are full, and my pants aren’t BUG friendly by design and fabric.
Realistically for EDC, as opposed to special circumstances, I can carry the BUG at 11 o’clock or an extra magazine. The extra pistol isn’t much harder than the spare magazine. I can make an argument for mag or BUG. When things like a 365 are available, the BUG becomes space efficient and quite capable.
Thoughts?
