Backup Gun Advice.

Sometimes having one gun is not enough. So how do you choose a backup gun?

GunSafetyBlog.com has some good advice:

“Decide on how you are going to carry it!

Each method has its pros and cons
Options are:
Off hand appendix inside the waistband
Ankle holster
Belly band holster
Pocket holster
I personally dislike small of the back carry since the draw is rather obvious and can be easily fouled.
The gun can also be easily exposed by bending down to pick up something.
Whatever method you decide on, PRACTICE IT!
Better yet, practice it dry under simulated stress.

Revolvers make ideal backup guns since they are often more concealable than the Glock 26, Glock 27, or other semi-automatic pistols
A Crimson Trace laser helps a lot for instinctual point shooting.
Smaller and lighter is better!

I recommend a .38 special or a even a .22 Magnum Revolver to save on weight and size.

I have really come to like the Ruger LCR and the Smith and Wesson J Frame revolvers.”
