Raylan Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 So, after carrying mostly the same stuff carried mostly the same way for the last 5 to 10 years with a piece replaced here or there year to year - I've decided to intentionally redo and rethink my EDC - new gun, new holster, new belt, new wallet, new checkbook, new key holder, new knife, new flashlight, (phone is new already), and a EDC sling with medical (tourniquet, israeli bandage, gauze, tape), multitool, batteries for phone and flashlight, and extras to carry in vehicle. So, what's your EDC that you carry on your person and what brand or style? Wallet Checkbook - probably a lot don't carry it anymore, I use mine as a second wallet with extra cash and ID. Knife Flashlight Firearm - (extra mag?) Keys Phone Belt Watch Other stuff? Do you have a EDC you take in a vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bill Burt Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Wallet - traditional leather wallet one of my son's gave me a few years back. Checkbook - don't carry one. Knife - a little inexpensive Kershaw folder. Flashlight - don't carry one, though there is one in my phone. Firearm - Colt Commander in .45 with two spare Wilson Combat 8 round mags. Carried OWB in a Wilson Combat Lo-Profile holster. Ammo is Federal Hydra-Shok. Keys - Not sure about this question. Yes, I carry keys, as few as possible. Very glad I don't need to take one out to get into or start my car. Phone - Iphone 10 Belt - quite a few from Bullhide Belts Watch - don't wear one, or any kind of jewelry either. Car gun - S&W j frame in .38 special with some rounds I loaded up myself. I've been considering an AR for the car, or maybe a bullpup design rifle like a Tavor 7.

Ozark Shark Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Wallet, knife, keys and phone. Then it depends on what I'm wearing. First choice is a Kimber Ultra Carry. Other options include a Ruger LCR or LCP if I lack the cover for the Kimber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 1. Glock 26 with a 19 mag carried in a DeSantis Superfly pocket holster 2. Beretta Pico .380 in back let pocket in a self-made wallet holster 3. Benchmade 4" axis lock tactical knife in left front pocket 4. Gerber folding LST for actually cutting stuff 5. Leatherman Micra (with a plyers instead of the scissors) Living in the South with high temperatures and humidity makes wearing a vest of light jacket unbearable for much of the year. Most everything I carry needs to fit in a pair of jeans or shorts. If it was cool for an old "ethnically challenged" guy to carry a gun purse (man-satchel), I would upgrade to a bigger handgun, extra mags, and a bigger tactical fixed blade knife.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I use paper checks to pay my bills. I had some fraudulent charges when I paid them electronically, so I went back to paper checks, and mail them in, using the ole slow post office. Since I have been doing that, I have not had any problems. Yeah, yeah, I know...others have had no problems using electronic payments, and automatic debits on your money in the bank. Okay...point is...I have! Yep...I buy stamps, envelopes, ink pens, write checks, go to the post office, go in, mail them. I like doing that. I am also hoping it ticks the company's bone-head managers off, that I do it the old school way. I would not have it any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee williams Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I carry different sidearms according to where I'm planning on being that day. Usually it is one of my 8 shot 357 or 6 shot 44 smiths. Usually a Sig 9mm p938 as backup. Usually a 300 blk AR pistol in the truck that fits into a 7" lunchbox. And sometimes other stuff. Depending.
