*Trying to think of a way to let you down gently. I'm already spoken for.

This thread is begging for an EDC drop photo...



P229 Legion (holster varies by occasion) carried @4
BUG - in this case LCP2, but often a S&W 637 - RF pocket with the Infidel
In pants without a special pocket...LF pocket is real wallet with P229 Mag & Leatherman K4
Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar Tactical - left wrist
Remembrance bracelet - right wrist
Flashlight special pocket, weak side - LF pocket if forced in which case I move the K4 to the LB pocket.
Dummy wallet, RB pocket. I used to keep enough money to be considered a felony if stolen in it, but either I was misinformed to that amount or it changed to $750. So now I just keep about $7-10 in it. Old ID's, expired and closed or dummy credit cards to banks I no longer have accounts with.

Phone has wallet attached in front left pocket.

Gun is IWB on right side

Left rear is pocket knife

Right rear is usually a magnetic money clip.

Theft statutes usually have a minimum amount to qualify as a felony, but robbery (the scenario, outside of pickpocketing, where you'd likely employ a dummy wallet) is a felony in every state I know of regardless of the amount. So your $7-10 will be plenty to get the job done.

I carry two wallets as well, but all my cop stuff goes in one and normal everyday citizen stuff goes in the other. Wallets get carried in the right front pocket, along with my Kershaw folder. Phone goes in the cargo pocket of my right leg if I'm wearing pants that have one...back pocket if I'm not. I usually take it out when I sit not because it'll break but because it's uncomfortable to sit on.

Gun is IWB at 4:00, car keys and Streamlight Macrostream in left front pocket, reload mag on my left hip.

At work I don't carry the keys or the Macrostream (I have two bigger handheld lights on my duty gear) and a 642 takes their place in the left front pocket.

I picked cargo pocket for the wallet, but in reality, I don't carry it. It's in the car.

Just my phone, in my back pocket. When I need "stuff" I carry an SPI Belt. I don't so much wear it, though I could. I just have it. Wallet, car fob, ear pods, chap stick, etc). Had that with me all last week in the hospital with mom. It was great to have the stuff and not have my pockets stuffed.

Unless you’re Law Enforcement, that seems like entirely too much shit to carry. Is the crime rate in Kenai that bad? The extra wallet and second gun seem like an awful lot to add.

Should have included “Other” option as you can’t complete the poll without answering all questions.


Where I carry my phone depend what I am wearing…

Around the house usually wearing gym shorts, so left front pocket

Out and about, wearing a jacket if the jacket has a breast pocket, that’s where it goes. No jacket breast pocket, shirt breast pocket. Otherwise left back pants pocket or cargo pocket on pants leg if available.

When I am in the car, it is on the magmount charging holder at the center of the console.

WTF is a check book? Haven't carried one of those since the 80s, and even then only sparingly.

I also carry a Streamlight Wedge torch and a folder blade, usually a Boker or Kershaw.

Really surprised that no-one has mentioned a horizontal belt holster that allows phone to snap in and out. I know my kids say it looks uncool "kinda like a pocket protector" but it is really functional. Biggest problem I have with it is the snap in lock portion breaks about twice a year and I have to replace it. And since it works best on right side for right handers it can be an "obvious" conflict with other "gear".

Wallet; left back pocket.
Folding knife, handkerchief; right back pocket
Phone; left front pocket.
Keys, pocketknife/SAK, light; right front pocket.
Firearm; right IWB.
- shorts: Ruger LCP Max w/ 12 round mags
- pants: P365XL Tacops
Magazines; left IWB.

I normally would keep the light on the left, but it's better to keep that pocket empty so I don't mess up my phone. I have a small pocket organizer that I use for the SAK and Streamlight Microlight in my right pocket that makes it easy to make sure I have them on me all the time.

I've snapped a few of those clasps myself; had one since I had a Blackberry when it was de rigueur. PHLSter makes a flat pack for an IFAK that I think would be ideal as a base for a cell phone holder, maybe with a magnetic attachment?
