Backup guns need to be smaller because of where they're normally carried. There just aren't really any .45 caliber pocket guns the size of an LCP.pfgrone wrote:Help me understand something. I see many, many references to using a larger caliber handgun as a primary carry and a much smaller caliber gun as a backup. What I don't understand is if a person needed a large caliber for the first gun, why wouldn't he/she also need a large caliber as a backup? Or, to put it another way, if a small caliber is adequate when a backup is needed, then why wasn't it adequate as a primary also. I'm not trying to start an argument, but I just don't understand the logic. What am I missing?
