    So that would be in addition to a real gun that you were carrying?

    +1. A .380 is a little better than a sharp stick.

    ^ what line of work you in where you need a back up pistol. usually, the average citizen who can shoot accurately will have more than enough fire power with one gun. if it's not a wimpy gun.

    If you need one gun then you need two. I didn't make that up, but I forget who said it. Also, the wimpy .380 that you have with you is better than the bigger gun you left at home because it was too big, you couldn't conceal it well, it was too heavy, blah, blah, blah.

    I personally carry a Glock G17 most often but my Kahr P9 is more comfortable and more concealable. As long as someone has put in the necessary thought, training and practice I'm not going to second guess their carry choice too much.

    It's not illegal, it's frowned upon.

    For the price spend the extra coin and back a sub-compact glock or a revolver.... Then you wouldn't need to carry two guns

    I carry a Taurus pt 111 Tatum/millennium 9mm,the back up is not for work iam a industrial painter i can shoot very accurately i guess it wouldn't be a back up but something a little less bulky to carry in the summer months. Iam not saying the 9mm is bulky its not, its a sub compact and weights about 16oz and holds ten rounds.I was just looking for something smaller to fit in the pocket of my shorts, i really dont want to go to a smaller caliber maybe a smaller frame.So any input in my search would be helpful.I guess the shit would really of hit the fan if i said i wanted a beretta bobcat or a derringer!

    hmm i see what you want to do with the smaller gun...




    carrying in your pocket took be by surprise.....does anyone else carry a gun loosely in their pocket? i'd feel a little insecure with a gun in my pocket... i'd probably reach in for it and shoot my pecker off.

    I have a Bersa .380 that i picked up for under 200 bucks.

    it shoots dead nuts on every time. The wife is comfortable with it, so it's typically "her" gun and stays with her.

    Who are you?

    Why have a back-up pistol?

    Consider this scenario-

    You and your wife are walking somewhere. You're jumped from behind by an armed mugger. He puts a gun to the back of your head and says he will kill you if you move. He makes you put your hands in the air while he frisks you. He takes your gun and turns his attention to your wife's purse. While the mugger thinks you're disarmed you take advantage of his attention elsewhere and use your back-up gun that is concealed elsewhere to the best of its abilities. Think about it...
