Yep!

[Sarge7402]

Forgot cigar and lighter

[BucketBack]

I don't smoke

[stevekozak]

Smoking is bad OPSEC.

[red442joe]

I always have a flashlight. Always.
This should morph into an EDC picture thread!

[Prepared One]

At the very least, this is what I carry on my person every time I leave the house. Flashlights are in the trucks.

How do you guys keep your pants up with all that crap in them ?

[BucketBack]

Suspenders duh.

[Innkeeper]

Wallet

Keys

Pocket knife

Gun

2 extra mags.....there are also 2 spares in the truck, my extra gun plus mags and 100 extra rds are in my ghb with my other gear. They stay in the truck swapped out with gear depending on the seasons and/or a bigger one if I am driving farther from home.

That's why I go light. Pistol, knife, wallet, keys. I run light and cool here in Texas. If I need more there is my 3 day go bag in the truck plus a spare pistol. When I am working my tac bag goes to the office and on business. That satchel has a spare pistol and magazines, good knife, flashlight, small 1st aid kit, computer, various cords and back up batteries, etc. So a typical work day there are always 3 pistols at my disposal.

That's a nice bag. After last week, I need to up my game; something like yours would work well.

EDC? Keys, smokes, phone, knife. I need to find a holster, won't carry loose in a purse... and those "carry purse" things are one-and-done stupid.

That's my go to work case, it goes with me when I am working and traveling in Texas in the truck. Because of it's special fittings it does not fly well. It's not as heavy as it looks but accommodates a lot. It's a Maxpadition. A little more expensive but they make good stuff and you will never ever have to replace it.

It took me a long time to figger out what was the question and I apparently aint allowed to post pics on this place but to answer the inquiry..In hot weather I used to wear Diluth Trading post suspenders under my long tail shirt to support my Sig..a double ammo pouch..asp..etc. Now I wear the the gun and ammo in my Crotch Possum and carry the other stuff in my nail apron also covered by a long tail shirt. Much more practical. In cold weather everything goes in my leather Biker Vest like the one the president of the Hecks Angels wears. That thing has a bunch of storage options. A person needs one of each.

I got a really good belt from a leatherworker I know.

DwightsGunLeather makes a really good . . . double layer . . . CCW belt.

This one has worked almost 20 years so far.

May God bless,

I have one... actually I have a couple. One I bought and one I made.
I have no ass! So 3 guns 4 extra mags and the kitchen sink are a no go.

That basic setup was my go-to rig for many years. 1911 and double mag pouch. Add an nice sharp knife in the pocket, and felt prepared to face anything that might be foolish enough to face me. No watch though. I don't care what time it is. :)

You must have a lot of room to spare in the front of your pants. That area is crowded for me...

I should have added a watch to my EDC. I always have one on, even at night. A good quality watch that can take a beating. Been wearing one since I was a kid. Habit I suppose. And then there is the phone. Always that damn phone.

It gives a nice vulgar bulge which the ladies shouldnt be looking at lol. I been wearing it for years when ultra concealment is required such as sub school teaching etc. Been wearing it all summer in my crossing guard job and its the best strategy I have found to lug a mid to large size pea shooter and its fodder. I lug the little .22 mouse gun in the pocket of my jogging shorts. Give em something to think about till i can get the big boy in action. lol. Used the same basic strategy in the 70s-80s. That required a derringer or .25 semi in the hip pocket to keep em busy till a person could wrestle the .380 out of the boot and get to work.

[BucketBack]

I Israeli Carry a G19.5 in a Miami Classic shoulder holster as a BUG at times, with a PM9 or LCP as primary . Or all 3.

I was carrying a CW9 as opposed to the odd girl out ElsiePea, but the CW9 wouldn't cycle my JHP reloads

The Glock, LC9, PM9 eat them like a kid eats candy, so I see no reason to change my load, since it expands in wet newspaper at 21 feet

[BucketBack]

The PSA AR-9 likes the G18 mags

Pricey for quality for sure

[bigwheel]

Now how does a person hold the pants up lugging all that stuff around? Thanks. I have an old cop garrison belt with a velcro fastening strip which seems a blessing to cinch it up as tight as needed. Works ok for just a gun but a double ammo pouch on the weak side it can pull the pants plumb down especially combined with silky girly man underwear. Cotton FTLs hang on to it tighter. Yall need a crotch possum.

Now that I'm old and have that thickness goin' on, I just went with the concealed vest. When I was a young buck, I weighed a mere 215 and had a 30" waist. I could carry a government .45 at the waist, and just pull my shirt over it. If I tried that now, either on the side of my gut, or over a love handle, the damned thing prints big time and stands out like a turd on a wedding cake.

Same here. I wear my leather biker vest with secret pockets plumb out. Believe a small family of vietnamese orphans could fit inside that thing. Plenty of room for near all I own. I been wearing it on the cool mornings we been having. Actually its not all that hot even in hot weather. I know some old biker dudes who wear them year round.
