Default agree

1 in a high ride belt or strapped to thigh- and one in shoulder/chest works fine .(but any and all gear interferes a bit compared to shorts and t-shirt as the optimum for agility and speed etc ) but question :

small of the back gun -what about bending over /arching back or rolling over -does it get in the way for stuff like lying on your back etc or is this negible.

As for a quick rule I would have to say that there needs to be one rule for light and agile short duration /agent type stuff and one for regular gear type jobs /infantry tasks .(meaning the full list /gear and ammo for a longer thing)

On my vest I can easily wear 2 handguns and 6 x30 rnd clips before having to add on other stuff like pouches etc .This can be expanded as I go along though - .But to remain agile ( to the extent that I am anyways ) less is definently more.

We have discussed the whole thigh rig. <which would make it impossible to wear a traditional belt rig and vice versa>

Belt rig either high, mid or low ride <see above and making it impossible to wear a thigh rig>

A high ride you may be able to wear a thigh rig, but it would interfere with an under the arm rig.

Under the arm/shoulder rig

Chest rig, these are usualy a cross draw afair.

Crossdraw rig on the very front of the pants,

2 places to wear a pistol in the small of the back, they have all maner of holsters that can allow this.

Something like a Glock 19 one could wear 8, this is silly though.

As for ankle holsters, nice and good concealment, but try running with one. They have backpocket and inside the pants holsters that fit much better and are more practical.

A set up I would preffer would be 3 standard issue pistols 1 as a primary in a thigh rig, another in a should or chest rig and 1 in a small of the back holster as the latter I can draw with either hand.
