Backup weapon

[mdgodfather]

Who here has a backup weapon while on duty, and where is it carried on the person? I am considering a Glock 27. What is the best price anyone has heard for this handgun?

Glock 26. I can/have carried it in an ankle holster, vest holster on the straps, and also IWB with my duty belt covering it from view.

Check with www.streichers.com, they have a Glock Days Sale upcoming on June 24. LE prices will be right around $400 for Glocks.

As my duty weapon, I carry a .40 caliber Glock 23. For my backup, I carry a Kel-Tec .25 caliber. I have an ankle holster and a vest holster for it, so it will sometimes be inside my vest and sometimes strapped to my ankle. I know Kel-Tec isn't the most reputable of companies and I've heard of some flaws with some of their weapons. However, I've had my Kel-Tec for three years now, shot it about 800 times, and qualify with it every 3 months. It has yet to misfire (knock on wood) and is very accurate. What I like most about it, though, is its concealability. It is so slim that nobody can notice I am wearing it whether it is on my ankle or inside my vest.

When I worked patrol, I carried a Glock 27 on my ankle as a BUG. I liked it. I think I paid around $450 with night sights.

I carried a GLOCK 27 for a bit. I carried it on my ankle but found it was a bit bulky for my taste. I traded it in on a KAHR PM9 and have never been happier. This little 9 is a great gun and its a shooter too. It rides so nice on my ankle that I completely forget I am wearing it at times. Much slimmer than the G27

Colt Agent, carried inside the waistband, in front, by the buckle.
And no it doesn't bother me there.

smith 640 .357 on the vest and a 92FS in my bag next to me.

I like a Glock 19 as my primary, and a Glock 26 on my ankle.

This set up allows me to use my primary mags in my backup gun if need be.

I carry a Taurus ultra lite 38 as a BUG (dept. issued). I carry either in an ankle holster or inside the pocket holster. You cannot go wrong with a good revolver as a back up. Some of us old timers have been carrying them for years. The revolver has a good track record as a back up.

KelTec .40 attached to my vest. Lighter and slimmer than a Glock, and I've had no problems with it.

That's what I have been waiting to hear. I am currently looking at picking up a PM9. I have read reviews and it sounds like the right gun for me.

My bug carry is similar. I carry a G27 in an Alessi ankle holster, a Smith 640 .357 on my vest and a Glock 22 in the bag next to me.

I carry a Para-ordnance P-10 on my ankle. It's a little heavy but it carries 11 rounds of .45 weeee

Richjorg,

You will be entirely hapy w/ that PM9 when you get it. They do have a break in period of about 200 rounds before they say they will feed flawlessly. However, I have not had any problems w/ mine through the 200 or beyound. Mine does seem a bit "stiff" when racking the first one in. You have to let er fly to drive it home but I wouldn't trade this little thing for anything.

BUY ONE AND ENJOY!
