When I was a LEO, I carried a snub nose 38 in an ankle holster when working evening and night shifts.
I only carried it when working nights or evenings. It was real hassle, especially if I had to run with it. I never needed it, but at the time I thought it was a good idea. With my Full size M&P holding 18 rounds and 2, 17 round mags, I feel like I am sufficiently armed. I have never heard of a LTC holder needing a BUG, and very few LEOs have ever had to use one. It's like most things, everyone will have to make their own decisions, depending on their particular circumstances.
