Carrying multiple guns

Bassbob said:
I’m trying to figure out how to comfortably carry and conceal two 9MMS, a .45, a Beretta 1301T and a 16” carbine. And spare mags and a few shot cards.

1301T and / or 16 inch carbine ? The answer rounds off to No .

Two 9mm and a .45 ? Pretty simple , especially if at least one of them is a subcompact .

Comfortable? Subjective on multiple levels . Objections on principle about total weight ? One of them specifically binding, pinching , or poking you ?

Hint -

Carry with untucked shirt , and gun on strong side , either IWB , or suitable high ride OWB is very common .

Gun on strong side hip And off side hip will be concealable just as easily, in the same wardrobe . (Does imply an at least somewhat adequate skill at shooting weak hand only for some situations . But that's a basic competency I recommend highly anyway .) ( Substituting a cross draw for a straight draw on off side , is more difficult logistically
Buy alas , I'm looking that way , due to hand surgery on left hand . )

I fear you're correct. At least one ( either the carbine or the shotgun) would have to be slung in such a way as to make it basically inaccessible. I might be able to pull it off with the TS-12, but I don't know.

More common than general public would think , but well short of " most " .




Dude , I surrender ! You win
:) ( Too new to know what's serious , what's a running gag .)

But seriously , in the day , three was not uncommon . More than 3 ? Unless you were just running up the count with an unacessable mini revolver or .25acp , not really worthwhile or practical.

My .25 ACP kept in a groin holster and accessible through my fly saved my life at least twice. :oops: My old .22LR Freedom Arms (would now be a North American Arms) was kept in a wide variety of spots and was helpful a number of times.(y)
 
a good question really. On occasion I do carry two, when the purpose is there. They will be of nearly identical weights as under the shoulder carry works for this, in my experience, and they balance each other out. Usually glocks. Most of the time though It is only one as two are a bit of a burden for long time.

Haven't been ignoring this Forum on purpose, just been going down the rabbit hole on the active brand centric fora for my new to me latest ugly pistol ( LE Trade In with extensive " character " ) .


So , the theme is double down parody , cool .

Actually this has been a back burner concept for me since forever . Showing my age , but Skeeter with double SH with two Commanders sticks in my mind .

As my butt continues to disappear, the challenge is keeping up my pants with lots of " stuff " on the belt . A SH would shift the burden to shoulders off of painfully over tightened belts .

Holster Store Inc has reasonably good knock offs of proven classic holster designs . Their stand out feature is offering fitments for a zillion different guns , for same price , and same quick delivery . A big deal , if you use and carry other than the 3 or 4 popular guns of this month .

A few years ago , got one of their shoulder rigs for P-90 , and it was on my mind to get a left hand holster body to take the place of the double mag pouch . But couldn't quite reach decision on for which gun . ( I understand the concept of all in one rig to throw on & off . But not a priority to me , and I prefer the mags on my belt anyway .


I now have a good idea which gun for offside ( 15oz DAO Subcompact 9mm ) . Now I have to decide to get just a holster body , or another complete rig , with two guns from the start .
