For people who carry 2 guns how do you carry them?

[C0untZer0]

The R9 is my primary.  I'd love another R9 for a backup but unless I win the lottery I can't afford another R9.

I was thinking of getting a Kel-Tek P-32 , but I'm not sure where I would carry it. 

Back pocket?

Does anyone carry two guns, and if so, how?

I'm not a fan of the R9 as primary carry, but I do it sometimes when no better options are available or I'm just being lazy depending on dress or if I'm around the house. In my opinion the R9's best strength is as a backup weapon, while carrying a compact or full sized handgun. Don't often carry two guns, but when I do, my preference is a full sized on a belt holster at 3 o'clock with a spare mag carrier at 9 o'clock, an R9 in right front pocket holster and a spare mag for the R9 in left pocket in a pocket holster. I usually carry a good edged weapon weak side back pocket but not always there.

Sig P229 .357 primary, R9 Right front pocket no back up ammo

I carry a 14 round mag with my sig+1, and with the r9 thats 22 rounds

The very few times that I have carried 2 weapons was, the R9 and a Jetfire in 25 cal. The R9 in the 4/5 o'clock position and the jet fire in the front pocket. If I carry a full size it is a P226 or 1911 and the R9 in the front or back pocket depending were I am caring the full size weapon. I feel fine with just the R9 and a spare mag in the 'coin' pocket in my jeans.

It depends on the situation -- season, attire, environment, etc.

If carrying the Colt 1991A1 as primary, it is in a Galco OWB at the "4:00 o'clock" position and two spare magazines OWB at "8:00 o'clock."  The R9 will be in my right front pocket with a spare magazine in the left rear.

When the  HK P7 is primary, it is in the cross draw position with spare mags and R9 as above.

On occasions when the R9 is primary, it is in the right front pocket with its spare magazine in left rear and the NAA G-380 (loaded with +P Winchester "Ranger T" JHP) will be in the right rear pocket.

Correction:   Well, I've done it again -- referring to the Ranger T .380 ACP as +P.  I keep forgetting that there is no SAAMI standard for +P in .380 Automatic. SAAMI specifications rate the .380 at approximately 950 fps velocity and 200 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) energy for JHP bullets.  The .380 Ranger Ts are loaded to higher pressures, and Winchester rates its Ranger T Law Enforcement 95-grain .380 as providing 1,000 fps muzzle velocity (length of barrel not reported but assumed to be 4"):

Still and all -- it cannot be said to be "+P."  Mea culpa.

Since most civilian "social engagements" take place at a range of 7 yards or less and are over after3 to 5 rounds are fired, I usually only carry the largest pistol allowed by climate and dress...mostly the R9, rarely a Seecamp in very light clothes, and often a compact .45 in the winter.  I usually have an extra mag, but rarely carry two weapons (makes my pants sag!).  Were I to expect an unavoidable combat situation, I'd carry my AR15 on a sling under a gunslingers long leather coat, my HK USPC .40 with 13 rounds OWB and a 12 gauge pump slung over my shoulder with a bandoleer of ammo for each...so far that hasn't seemed necessary, but I admit to not visiting Chicago and Detroit recently. 

Seriously, my best defense is to practice situational awareness and to use discrimination (NOT A BAD WORD) in avoidance of threatening situations.  I carry a weapon at all times, but I do not carry it to feel protected; It is my job to insure my own protection.   The weapon is simply carried as a last  resort to save my life or that of a loved one when an unavoidable circumstance creates such a threat.

With a large weapon under a closed heavy coat, a pocket gun in hand or not, may become primary.

Agree.  Some feel that an offhand presentation (left front for me) for the 2nd weapon may thus allow a defensive posture with the dominant hand if necessary.  My left wrist is so messed up with arthritis that I don't carry a "lefty" as backup anymore.
