It's good to have two, especially in the travelling scenarios discussed above. I have not needed my backup Stock 2, but it's best to be prepared. You don't want to be smithing between stages if you don't have to. I made the same switch you did "from Glock to Stock". At first i thought I'd just bring a separate rig and have a Glock for a backup, but that's quite a plarform change at a level 3 match. (BTW, you ARE good enough to go to bigger matches like your area match. I'd encourage you to take that step.) The only issue I have with buying two was I did this pretty close to the peak of Stock 2 "unicorn" pricing. That's not the case anymore.
