Back-up duty weapon...

doomsknight62

I was talking to an officer from Leavenworth about a week ago. He said when he's off-duty he keeps a Taurus revolver in an ankle holster. But when he is on-duty, he keeps a Kimber CDP velcro'd to his kevlar. Is it just me, or would that be incredibly hard to draw? We're talking through the buttons on his shirt!
Anyway, I wanted to see what and where everyone else keeps theirs. I'm sure not all of you don't have jobs where you get to carry a gun, but where do you keep your concealed-carry weapons?

I also keep a second gun under my shirt.

If I need it, the buttons are going flying.

I worked nites mostly, and kept a S&W 2" 66 in shoulder holster. Our duty gun was a 4" 66 so the ammo was compatable.

Now that I'm retired I carry the Smiga 40 with 15 round mag with a 15 round spare mag. I use a belt holster or a shoulder holster.

I don't worry about ammo compatibility. My belt gun is a .40 caliber SIG. My hideout is a Colt .380.

The only reason I would pull the Colt would be if the SIG were taken from me, and it is likely that whatever happened after that would take place so fast that reloading would be out of the question.

Ditto with what nunn said about under the shirt. Our shirts, though, are the zipper front ones that look like button-ups.

Model 686 4" for duty, and a Beretta model 21a in my left front pocket. Off duty is the same model 21 in the front left pocket.

There are a couple other viable options I've seen used. One is to pull the shirt tail up with the off hand and draw from underneath. The second is to sew a couple of the buttons onto the buttonholes on the front, and attach velcro closures to points where the buttons would normally attach the shirt. This works better for right-handed men, though, because us left-handers have to reach "the wrong way" into our shirts according to the way men's shirts are made to overlap.
