Not from AK, but not a complete stranger to it either, listen to the good folks from there that give you advice. My bottom line is carry what you are comfortable with. If you are used to the feel, weight,& use of a side arm, then wear it. If not, it's one more thing you might have to think about when maybe you ought to have your rifle in hand.
