Why not just carry more magazines?

I can't hand a magazine to a buddy in a fight. A magazine doesn't help if I'm knocked on my gun side and there's someone on top of me. A magazine doesn't help if I'm somehow disarmed. A magazine doesn't help if my gun gets shot.

I've done enough force on force to know that often enough another gun does more for me than another magazine.

Well, and here I thought you were just a regular dude.

I carry a backup as well. I also carry two knives. You never know what sort of jacked up situation you might find yourself in these days, if you're going to prepare, do it like you mean it.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that chest rig was meant for active movements in/out of vehicles and not so much as a back up gun for the reason you just stated? I've seen guys have a chest rig just like that with a MP7 holstered to their leg and they weren't shield or canine guys. If they're running two pistols and a rifle, one being an auto pistol, maybe their chest piece is the "side arm"?

That gear is all funding and cool ideas with absolutely zero trial and training.

That chest position looks odd but it may be easier for weapon retention than one mounted to the left of your center line? I don't know that I'm (or have ever been) limber enough to draw from there. It would be in a good position for punching directly into the target in a CQB gone a little too "C" scenario...
