Way to support your credibility. Please, do explain these safety rules you'd be violating by going to a backup gun. I'm sure countless millions of soldiers, police officers, and licensed (American, mind you) civilians would love to hear them. Or were you just chest-beating again figuring no one would call your bluff?
Back to the subject at hand, we have one guy here who plays with five pistols in CQB. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, but it turns his crank obviously and I suppose that's what counts. If you'd rather spend the dough on a second gun that's your decision, though a few extra mags for your first would seem more practical. I've used a USP Compact in CQB as a BUG in the small of my back, but I found it took some abuse when I flattened up against a wall. Also didn't use it much between my Glock and MAC. It was fun though.
If you're talking about using a handgun as a backup to a rifle or SMG that makes a lot more sense. I don't take my handgun into the field much but it's always there for CQB. When the MP5 runs dry and I don't have a couple of seconds to change mags, the Glock comes out to cover until I can retreat to a safe spot to do the mag change. Or sometimes I'll use it to keep someone pinned when the MP5 runs out and I can't afford to have them move on me. There's any number of reasons to do a New York reload although it's not always necessary. If you have the hardware and want to play that style there's nothing wrong with it.
