?? There are no "operators" here, and if there were, they wouldn't tell you anyway.
Cops are known to carry "back-up" pistols, "operators" carry pistols as backups...to real guns.
Under BC's provincial police firearm regulations, police are not permitted to carry pistols other than those meeting requirements of the regulations. Plus they need a chief constable's permission. So I'd say no, it doesn't happen. Why would you carry a "backup" that is the same size, etc as your primary. Most service pistols tend to be of the larger variety (restricted class) rather than tiny little prohibs, so they can be rather unwieldy in an ankle holster or elsewhere.
Many US agencies/departments have a list of approved non-departmental firearms that their officers/deputies/agents can carry, and it often includes revolvers too, so it would be more prevalent there.

And i suppose YOU don't?
I always carry back ups of back ups. I like ta carry a minimum of 80lbs of weapons only. Even if they all fail I'll still have my 84mm in my butt pack., and a grenade concealed in my "man-pocket"...Sarcasm off.
No dude, I really dont think they do that.
Hehe +1...?? There are no "operators" here, and if there were, they wouldn't tell you anyway.

They do in the movies... which should be sufficient evidence that it is not a "real world" practice.
Space and weight is at a premium.. no one who is serious about anything carries one more thing than they need.
Primary, Secondary, knife.. boots

Kind of funny if you think about it...considering that the CSOR refers to their actual combat guys as "Special Operators" on their DND website.
Your friends in JTF?
Well I got friends in JTF2...and 3
My buddy 'operates' a back-hoe.......
I'm am guessing we all know we are joking around here.....
I like to use the weight saved by ditching my rear strike plate to rig up a multi-gun bandolier across my back, which in effect creates an x-shaped zone of spinal ballistic protection anyway. Sometimes I just rig up the ammo can for a Dillon M134 in its place, and mount it on my shoulder. It's a crude rig, but it works when I'm in a hot AO.
I'm so awesome I'll never be shot in the back anyway.
I also operate 6 independent backups, stashed in each of my pockets and one in between the cheeks of my ass just in case I have to slip it by a search. I tried to hide a pistol in the "bread basket" once, but it turned out my testicles were so MASSIVE there wasn't even room for a pocket-size .32 in there.
