Again, this fits in with his philosophy of the backup as an alternate primary but it also makes sense from the standpoint of convenience: if you decide that you can’t carry or don’t need both guns, whichever one you choose to retain will still be a very viable and effect tool.
...This is a refreshing look at the use of the backup gun, and addresses something I’ve told my students for a long time: one of the big issues with the backup is that you really do need to train to jettison the first gun, something which many gun owners are loathe to do (and most ranges don’t allow.)
...On the other side of the ledger, I would have been far less kind to the derringer than he was, and I have a few disagreements on some of the gear selection (I much prefer the modern “sticky” pocket holsters over the old-fashioned “winged” type he shows, for instance), but the overall message was, I thought, very much on-point.
