Should backup guns be same caliber so ammo works for both, or different calibers for versatility? I've got a 9mm and a .45 which means two ammo types. What's the smart play here?
 
I keep my main firearm and backup in the same size. It is less different ammo to keep track of made things simple, especially when ammo was hard to find.
 
Same caliber is simpler for logistics, but different calibers can make sense if each gun fills a distinct role.
