I recently was able to return my issued Glock 22 .40 S&W to my current employer and draw a 4 inch .357 Magnum revolver. Some of my younger coworkers were horrified that I would do such a thing. Some of my older coworkers are jealous. I also got rid of an intrusive, awkward, and just plain inconvenient issued nylon duty holster and put my own high-ride black basketweave thumbbreak holster on my duty belt. Now I can sit in a chair or vehicle without feeling like the holster is going to tip me out on the floor or cause the sidearm to hang up. My back-up remains a small .38 revolver in my weak-side pocket.

For concealed carry, I almost always carry two revolvers. One rides in exactly the same place as my duty holster. It's the same size as my issue gun with a shorter barrel. My second revolver is my on-duty backup in my weak side front pocket or in a weak-side belt holster.

If I need more rounds than I carry in and for my revolvers, I probably should have brought a rifle.
