I use the exact same set up 22/27, I call it "The System." What you're saying makes sense and I can't believe how many officers don't carry a back-up or at least on that makes sense (I woudnt' be caught dead carring an Airlight, 380's or .22 etc).

However, we have one fellow that carries 2 back-ups. He's ready for the "big-one."
