Over the past couple of weeks, I have made it more and more a practice of carrying not one but two guns on my belt under my coat. The primary at 3-4 o clock being a 4 inch medium sized revolver and a secondary a 2 inch D frame revolver at crossdraw position.
Typically, I carry one or the other, but on a day when I am driving a lot in the car I like to have the full potential of a 4 inch revolver and the recoil control over a larger heavier frame when walking around, but for driving around, I find the crossdraw position MUCH easier to get to and a 2 inch barrel making it easier to manuver in an enclosed vehicle (less likelyhood of a shorter barrel bumping onto the steering wheel in a quick moment)
The primary gun at 3 or 4 o clock postion while clipped into a seatbelt while sitting up against a middle console would be very troublesome to grab in a needed moment.
As most policemen carry their guns in this position, I was wondering what they do to circumvent this handicap? Carry a gun on the seat next to them under a newspaper? Carry a small crossdraw holster on their belt?
