Firstly, I'm cool with you owning only one gun. That's certainly better than zero. In addition to the reasons others have given above, there's another thing I'd like to add.

No matter how much you practice with failure drills, there are some malfunctions that you simply can't clear in an emergency defensive shooting situation. A broken extractor, for example. If your round fails to eject or if you have a primer fail to ignite with a broken extractor, you're looking at a double feed after you rack the slide. That's a condition you're not going to be able to remedy in any reasonable amount of time. Things like stovepipes may or may not be something you can immediately clear as well.
