Mostly the CHL's I know carry one and have a 2nd (pick one: in the truck, in the desk, in the briefcase, etc) at hand but not really 'on' them. There is one guy I know. He's over 6 foot, and he's kinda 'wide'. He carries two 1911's in forward cant belt hosters (pancakes?) behind the hips. One of those rare exceptions to the general case......

Yes, I carry 2 pistols anytime I'm awake.
My primary is a Springfield Armory XDS, 3.3" barrel, .45 ACP, with the 7 round mag, so 7 + 1 = 8.
I just put a red laser on the rail, so it no longer fits in my preferred OWB Model 82 Bianchi holster.
It rides in a soft pocket holster either in my right front, lower, cargo pocket, or IWB at 10/11 o'clock.
My backup is my Ruger SR9C, 9MM, with the 17 round mag, so 17 + 1 = 18 rounds. Depending on my clothing,
it rides either in the soft pocket holster somewhere on me, or in the Bianchi Model 82.
When I first carried, I thought my Taurus PT111 was huge. Now 2 pistols are not difficult.
I carry 2 so that :
reloads under pressure aren't needed, in case of a mechanical failure, and also so that I
can arm companions who know guns, but aren't necessarily carrying at the time.
You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too many rounds on you. :-)

I always carry a back up. My back ups are either a S&W J Frame or my Glock 43. I have two primary reasons for a back up. The first of course is if my EDC fails. The second is if I have a need to arm someone else.

Every carry one on an ankle? I've been thinking about getting one to carry along with my G17.

I know a UC officer who wears a G26 on each ankle and a G19 on his him everyday.
Even if I was small enough to reach my ankles I think it would be very annoying.

Back in maybe the late 1980s/early 1990s I tried ankle carry with small 380s a time or two, I could never get used to it, either I'd bang my other ankle or some wall or something.
I tried ankle carry with small 380s with boots too, still couldn't adjust to it,
I had a friend who ankle carried a AMT Backup .380 and ankle holster I gave him all over Hawaii on a vacation, but I just can't get used to it.
I carry 1 G26 IWB with 20 rounds+1 (G17 mag, PearceGrip PG-39 which adds 3 rounds, and Xgrip mag spacer)
the other G26 in a pocket Desantis Nemesis with 13+1 (G26 mag with PearceGrip PG-39 which adds 3 rounds for 13 rounds) or 15 rounds (Glock 19 mag with Xgrip mag spacer) depending on the pants-pocket
