What is your everyday carry set-up?

Ok folks, let's see some of those EDCs. This is mine:

GEDC0281.jpg


Springfield XD-9 SC in a Blackhawk Serpa holster, 16 round spare magazine, Buck Strider folding knife, Sure Fire G2 LED flashlight, and the most important tool...my cell phone.

Glock 26 in a cheapo nylon pocket holster, carried in the strong side front pocket. Two 10 round mags carried in the weak side front pocket.

Simple, effective, and inexpensive. ;)
 
This is the stuff I carry.
Dan Wesson CBOB 10mm auto, extra Wilson magazine, Surefire LED (120 lumens), and cell phone; carried on a a stout gun belt, gun in a Milt Sparks holster and a SOS-DL magazine/light carrier (sold by Dillon Precision).

To satisfy my curiosity, I weighed all this stuff. It weighs just under five pounds. The loaded handgun and holster weight just under three pounds.

When I bought this belt about 25 years ago I thought it was kind of pricey. But now that I've had it so long and worn it almost every day since I bought it, it works out to way less than 2 dollars per year.

No photo, but:

I carry a Glock 19 or 26 in an Ehud Appendix-IWB holster. My 1 spare mag (G17) rides between the holster and my belt buckle. My cell phone is on the opposite side of the buckle.

I have a Spyderco Native in my right front pocket for utility work, a Spyderco P'Kal in my left along with a small light.

My pistol and mag can be accessed ambidextrously, and I have ambi access to a knife. I believe that you should be able to fight with either hand if necessary.
 
Since around October or so, it's been a Glock 27, a 15 round mag for a reload, my knife and light in a Galco belly band. I really like it.

Current set-up, still fairly new for some of it.

Ruger 3" Sp101 in .327
Galco OWB Holster
Leather gun belt from K&D Leather
Simply Rugged's Most Versatile Ammo Pouch (containing 8 rounds)
Nebo Super Bright light (picked up at a gunshow fairly recently, works great)
Columbia Torch - a smaller flashlight
Cell Phone
and of course a wallet and a random inkpen, and keys (not shown) Also not shown, my carry knife, chosen from a few different ones for the day, depending on dress.


I picked up the .327 about 2 months ago, and it has replaced my Glock 36 as main carry choice. With the Simply Rugged pouch, I have 14 rounds, carried in or out of a speed-strip (usually without). The Columbia Torch I just got a few weeks ago, and it works great. Much smaller than the Nebo, yet bright enough to illuminate a room/hallway very well. The Nebo gets carried in a jacket pocket now, or left at home when I don't have one.

No pics of it all as im tired of pics for the day but here is the list:
Amish made heavy duty belt.
Cell phone-cheap one
Bradley Cutlery Alias II sv30 and TI
Either a PT1911 or PT745
Sometimes my bug also if i want to keep my pockets empty for more crap.
 
This is the most current version of my EDC stuff (not counting stuff like wallet, phone, etc.)
004.jpg


Glock 19 in a Tucker "cover up" and spare mag in a mag-holder from RM holsters
Cold Steel Safekeeper III push-dagger
Spyderco Endura folder (waved)
Todd Foster Sap
Surefire E2D light
swiss army knife w/micro-light
keys with another light and a cuff-key
Pen
Contact-solution
bandanna

The Spyderco Endura often gets swapped for a Spyderco P'kal (depending on which pants I'm wearing). I don't always carry the sap (and sometimes it gets traded out in favor of an ASP collapsible baton).
 
I don't have a "carry stuff" picture available, nor a working camera at the moment.

Daily carry for me though..
One Springfield Loaded Lightweight 5" 1911 in .45 /or/ S&W Mod.66 2 1/2" .357mag
One full reload for whichever one I'm carrying that day.
Both ride in OWB Leather.
One set of keys
One wallet ( generally depressingly empty )
One cell phone
One or two decks of cards ( sometimes gimmicked, sometimes not ) :P
 
Either my Glock 23 RTF with two spare mags, my issued Sig 229 .40 with two spare mags, or my Sig 226 with two spare mags. Depending on the day.

Plus, my LCP in my front pocket in a DeSantis pocket holster, or on my ankle when in uniform. A Mel Pardue Benchmade auto on my off side pocket and a KaBar TDI laced into my boots ( when in uniform).

I don't carry a flashlight off duty, I have flashlights and body armor in my cruiser ( we drive our cruisers off duty) and a spare in my truck.
