It seems to me that you reach a point where it is easier to carry more magazines for one or two guns than more guns. Probably faster to reload than pull out a new gun also unless you do a lot of practice drawing from all those holsters. It would make a little more sense if you are carrying a bunch of 38 snubbie revolvers I guess.

There is also the issue of drawing and using different guns. If they are not all the same or have the same manual of arms, that could trip you up also.

Then again, if you think you might need 4 or 5 guns, you might want to think about just carrying a rifle..................and grenades. ..................................and bring lots of friends with rifles and grenades.

Here's my problem with one gun. If you have a malfunction that disables the weapon temporarily, you are dead. It's not about round limitations.

My most common way of carrying 4 guns would be as follows:
1. Commander length 1911 in a strong side belt holster. 2 Extra mags in a double mag holster on my weak side. If all goes well this is all I will need, but just in case.....
2. Kahr PM-9 in my weak side pants pocket.
3. Kel-Tec P3AT in a wallet holster on my strong side.
4. J frame in a weak side ankle holster in case I find myself knocked to the ground before I can draw any other weapon.

As far as manual of arms, it is the same motion for all of these guns. Draw weapon, hands meet in center of my body, arms are extended out and up, slide right thumb down as I engage the target (which either disengages the safety or just gets my thumb where it needs to be), line up sights, squeeze trigger.
