Have any of you ever tried this? The supposed logic of this states that pulling out another loaded pistol is faster than slaping another mag in your gun. I don't know but I think that the time it takes to do either would be pretty much the same.

I just read about it a few years back in some gun rag, I don't know if the article was Ayoob or not but I'm pretty sure he did not coin the phrase. I question the validity of this practice since I found that even carrying one handgun can be difficult at times. However, with the advent of airweight and titanium revolvers and polymer pocket guns the argument for the practice seems valid. I am thinking that a backup might be the way to go.

Well it's certainly good to be prepared, but I'm on the fence with this one. Since my primary carry is a .44 mag I don't think I'll be lugging two of those yet. However a Bug might be in the works in case my right hand gets disabled or the revolver for some strange reason ftfs.

The extra weight is the issue. I carry my .44 in a shoulder hoster and it's a stainless so it's heavy. I've done the with Naa mini as a all else fails gun in my back pocket with no real complaints I was going to gravitate toward a titanium though.

Flyer I personally had a similar experience but with a four legged predator instead of two. A few years back we had a neighbor with a pitbull which is fine I don't have anything against the breed, mostly it's the owner not the dog. Anyway this thing chewed a hole in their fence and claimed the whole street, sidwalk and lampost as his and began to vicicously attack anything that was walking down the street. Well we put up with that until school got out and the thing was biting kids, so I called animal control and told them there was a dog out here attacking little kids could you come and get it. "Sure." They said "we'll send someone right away." Half an hour goes by, this time it bit a woman walking down the street, she had a walking stick so whe wacked it pretty good and it withdrew into it's yard a little. Called animal control again "we are aware of the situation and we are sending someone to you right away." I told them to please hurry because it just attacked a woman. "Does she need medical attention?" I told them no but there are lot of kids out here and they could get hurt. "We are sending someone as soon as possible." This time and hour went by I was literally standing on the street warning people about the dog. Next it almost got a kid on a bike it literally bit the tire the kid was screaming but the kid and the bike were fine. By this time I had my .45 with me I was prepared to end it but I decided to give animal control one more call. "We are aware of the situation sir we are trying to get someone out to you." I told them to forget it I have a gun I'll take of the matter myself. 15 minutes later animal control showed up to get the dog.

Well every situation is different but I don't see how the lawyer can get very far if the shooting is justified. He could argue that you were out for blood, but unless you shot and killed Mother Teressa in a barfight gone bad I doubt he will get very far. That being said if you do get in a gunfight, prepare to get sued even if it is justified. If you won't get prosecuted by the DA, the next of kin or the the "victim" (if they live) can bring up a civil suit for no reason whatsoever and you will have to get a lawyer to defend yourself. For me getting sued is better than getting killed but only just a little better.
