    Back-up (second copy)

    I was advised to buy a carbon copy of my carry gun. What do you think?

    Not a bad idea. I have several Glocks, though they are not identical.

    The idea is one to train with, one to carry. Or an identical backup in case one craps out. But I carry Glocks and don't worry much about durability. If I carried a gun with a more delicate constitution - a P7, 1911, Hi-Power - I might get an identical spare.

    Writer Duane Thomas - excellent salesman that he is - recommends three identical guns: one on the hip, one in the shop, one on standby in the safe. Like most gunwriter advice, take it with an entire salt lick.

    All opinions, particularly those involving politics and Glocks, are mine and not Galco's.

    I see the point. We want redundancy in everything else; why not this? Who's Duane Thomas?
