Some carry a BUG, often some type of pocket pistol. Lets say that you are walking toward where you are parked and you notice a group of nice youngsters wearing baggy paints slowly converging on you, including from behind, so you can’t just leave the situation, bug out so to speak. (I don’t think people with baggy paints are a protected group so don’t think I’m profiling here!)
You have your nice compact high capacity auto loader in an IWB holster at 3:30 and are carrying a couple of extra magazines. You also have a small 38 snub in your off side pocket. If dog rockets hit the proverbial fan, which gun do you first use?
In my case I suspect my BUG would become my primary gun since I could assume a good grip on the gun without pulling it from my pocket. Would just look like a guy walking with a hand in his pocket instead of some one reaching for a gun. I would think that drawing the BUG would be much quicker than drawing the main gun from the IWB.
If it does hit the fan the 38 might give me time to reach cover and draw my auto. Plus if the dog was constipated and this group of baggy paints youths were really just a boy’s choir going to a practice session at a near by church no one would be upset with me just having my hand in my pocket and not looking like I was trying to grab a gun.
Trying to be funny here but it is a serious question. Could it be that maybe our BUGs could easily become, or maybe be, our primary weapon and the main carry gun become our BUG for cases when more firepower is needed.
Could it really be that our BUG is our primary and our primary really our BUG?
