What do YOU carry???

David

 

[Harbinger]

Leatherman Wave and some type of folder. Usually a Spyderco Viele or Rescue.

PPKS or Kimber Compact, depending on dress. Can't carry at work, so Monday-Friday I don't even pack anything.

Sometimes a tissue if I have a runny nose.

If I carried what you carry every day, I'd be investing in some sort of rolling suitcase.

 

[Sproles]

Boy are you right...

This is my PRFERRED carry - it does not happen everyday like this. Sometimes at the end of the day I wonder how I survived and am so VERY thankful that I did not fall into a river -- I would drown!

David

 

[blades67]

SIG Sauer P220, Leatherman WAVE, Benchmade Osborne Axis Lock and Mel Pardue Automatic and a Sure Fire 6P most days.

 

[Blackhawk]

[DeltaElite]

Glock 20, spare mag and nail clippers.

 

[cool45auto]

Beretta, 2 spare mags, folding knife, mini maglite and a cell phone.

 

[Monkeyleg]

Here in WI, we are not allowed to carry weapons for self-defense. Instead, I carry a small container of Cayenne Pepper and a bottle of Lea & Perrins.

This is, after all, the city of Jeffrey Dahmer. If I can't shoot my assailant, I at least expect him to taste good.

[10-Ring]

Lately, it's been Kershaw Blackout, car keys, money clip, and cell phone.

 

[firestar]

Everyday.

Right front: Benchmade Darkstar 885SBT

Left front: Spare change

Left rear: Nautica single fold wallet

Right rear: Kel-Tec P-32 with belt/pocket clip

 

[cratz2]

P32 loaded with Gold Dots in right front pocket.

CRKT little PECK knife as a money clip holding hopefully more than $20 and the basic cards (I don't carry a wallet on my person) in left front pocket. Usually some breath mints.

CRKT M16 in back left pocket.

Springfield 1911 in 45 with Gold Dots or a Colt Commander in 38 Super with CorBons in a Milt Sparks SS2. I must admit, I've been leaving this at home quite a bit lately. Getting something smaller... namely a Kahr P9 Covert.

A nice pen I got from 3-Com in my shirt pocket along with a half a sheet of paper folded up. Pen is very heavy aluminum and could be used as a stabbing impliment. And can be accessed strong or weak handed.

I need to get a SureFire or something... The new Luxeon LED looks nice but $$$...

 

[Kahr carrier]

Strider-Buck,Naa 380 Guardian,Leatherman supertool and pepper spray.

 

[bikerp97]

Letherman Supertool..Right front on my belt
Mini Mag lite right next to the leatherman.
Ruger P97 in a Comp-Tac CTAC IWB at about 4 o'clock
wallet left rear pocket
too many keys right front pocket
a dollar and some change in the left front pocket

[GlocksRock]

Spyderco stainless plain edge Police model, keys, wallet, eye drops, cell phone, and if I'm not at work then I have my Glock 26, or my Glock 30 on me.

 

[jmbg29]

An attitude that says don't with me.

G29

Gerber Multipliers

Swiss Army knife

 

[QuarterBoreGunner]

Mmmm... G30 in a Galco inside the pants Royal Guard holster, Spyderco Citizen and SureFire 6P with a red flip-up filter.

And some cinnamon Altoids.

 

[Moondancer]

Pants:
Right Front Pocket: Folding Lockblade - usually a Spyderco, but it rotates each week between the 12 "name" brands. Blade length from 1" to 3.75" depending on the expected locations I may visit.

Right Rear Pocket: Swiss Army wallet. Used for ID and cards only.

Left Rear Pocket: Handkerchief. Always. Year round. White Linen, usually monogramed. (I know, I'm way too pretentious for my own good! )

Left Front Pocket: Money clip. Change when received. Never start the day with any, only bills.

Sport Coat / Jacket:
Inside Right Breast Pocker: Nitroglycerin tablets in tiny bottle "just in case". (Quadruple bypass four years ago x 2)

Outside Left Pocket: Surefire E2.

Breast pocket: Reading glasses (darn, I hate getting old! )

Depending on how casual the mode is, the cell phone goes either at 9:00 on waistline in leather case or into pocket somewhere. It's small, so it fits most anywhere. Working hours - Palm in a pocket somewhere, again depending on mode of dress. (Can you see a pretentious old techno geek here )

Away from Work Add:
3:00 to 4:00 depending on cover garment: Kimber Compact CDP, usually in a Sparks TK60 (I think that's the designation).

8:00: Matching Sparks single mag carrier.

 

[hawk0484]

a girl, but I'll play too

In a leather fanny pack:

back portion: S&W model 65 LS with one speed loader

front portion: keys, lipstick, tissue

 

[capt_happypants]

Left front pocket: Wallet and cellphone.

Right front pocket: Kershaw Blackout and set of keys.

Five o'clock: SigSauer P228 with 14 rounds of 124 grain Speer Gold Dot +P in a Desantis Speed Scabbard OWB. I usually have it canted forward.

If it's warmer, I swap out the 228 for a Sig P239 with 10 rounds of 9mm in a Galco Summer Comfort IWB. With the war, I won't be wearing this one for a while.

Until the Iraq issue is solved, I've added two spare 228 10-rounders in a Desantis Double Play mag carrier.

[Monkeyleg]

Hawk0484, you travel light! My wife's purse contains at minimum the following:

full makeup kit
small box of tissues
checkbook/coinpurse/wallet-thingey
breath mints
cough drops
doggie treats (she loves dogs)
reading glasses w/case
sunglasses w/case
clear prescription glasses w/case
portable cd player w/headphones
cd's
package of photos from last Thanksgiving
newspaper clippings of articles about New Orleans
tweezers
nailclippers


No room for a defense weapon in there, but add two more pounds and she'd be hauling more gear than a Marine.

 

[chieftain]

SIG 228 14 Cor-Bon 115+P with an additional 226 15 round Mag with 15 more Cor-Bons. At times the 225 is carried instead, in the same holster and of course appropriate magazines.

This is carried in a Blade-tech UCH tuckable in a 2:30 position, straight drop.

The back up magazine is worn always exposed horizontally in a Michael's flap magazine holder.

The Bench made striker is in the pocket.

Often a BUG a S&W 638 with 5 158 LSWCHP +P Winchesters. in the weak side pocket.

I live in Florida and Arizona. I can only for a few months a year wear OWB. When I do there are several holsters I use.

Alessi cqb, Don Hulme, Horseshoe leather 22.

And I have alessi Talon Plus for all my SIG's Kahrs etc.

Good luck

Fred

God speed our troops in harmsway.

Monkeyleg-

Your wife's purse is a weapon...all she has to do is bop somebody upside the head with that thing, and its curtains!

I used to carry most of what she carries (and various other things) until I weighed it once, and discovered that simplfying was the easiest way to ease the pain in my shoulder and neck.
