stiabCould not answer the blade category completely, I always carry a fixed blade because it deploys much more quickly. If the fixed blade is partially serrated, I will just carry that knife. But if fixed blade is smooth I will also carry a serrated folder. Quick deploy not required for cutting the things requiring a serrated blade. Small fixed blade carried horizonal on left side belt is extremely fast to deploy.

jljonesG48 with a reload. No knife, only a flashlight. I’ve needed to see more times than stab people.
January 10, 2025, 05:56 PM
sigarms229Either a P365XL Comp (IWB strong side) or P365X (pocket).
One spare 17rd mag
Today my blade is a Zero Tolerance 0350 (I swap carry blades regularly)
I also carry a Leatherman Free P4 multitool and a Streamlight Protac light in a Tale of Knives leather carrier on my weak side.

OttoSigI carry a DWX compact with a reload, slim, concealable, 1911 trigger with 15 rounds.
And if I have my pants on I have a folder. That’s just being a man.

Your poll did not include SAO, but my other commonly carried gun is a 938.
Same but reversed. I find the 938 to be more concealable/comfortable

abnmacv1911 most of the time, if deep cover absolutely necessary a Glock 43 or a Colt 1903 in 32. Folding knife in my pocket all the time, use multiple times a day.

chongosuerteP365 with a 15 round spare mag, or a G19 with a 17 round spare.
Always with a folding knife, usually an Emerson that was graciously given to me by a member here.
AAA Surefire.
Tiny pen.
Chapstick.
Small wallet.
Anything else is fluff.
Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.
Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

92fstechOn duty striker-fired P320 with three spare mags.
Off Duty Hammer-Fired DA/SA P229 SAS with a reload.
Backup for both is a revolver...S&W 642UC.
Cheap Kershaw Speedsafe folder on me all the time...not for stabbing but for opening boxes and other administrative tasks. I've used it to cut the rope off of a suicidal lady's neck before, seatbelts off of crash victims, and even the top off of a convertible after it crashed and flipped over at the end of a pursuit. It's a handy thing to have.
Flashlights are both a Streamlight Polytac X and a Streamlight Strion LED DS on duty, and a Streamlight Macrostream on my own time.

ElToroOn my person ?
442 S&W no reload. Spyderco Manix 2 is current knife. Will be needing to go back into an office work setting soon so this will be dialed back.
In the truck is an Esee 5 and leatherman super tool 300

mark60P365x or G43x
Spare mag
Old Benchmade mini grip or Spyderco PM2
Small flashlight
If it's cold out and I have a coat I have a bigger flashlight in my coat.
I really want to carry a fixed blade knife but don't know about concealing it and don't want to feel like Crocodile Dundee if I'm anywhere and someone asks if I have a knife they can use.

This is mine more often than not these days. That said I do carry a small folder, although it’s generally a little 3 inch or less utility type blade more so then a “stab a bitch” type.

ensigmaticPrimarily carry my Springfield 9mm EMP in a R. Grizzle Georgia Snap 2:
Reload is carried in a Magholder (horizontal Kydex).
Eventually I'll swap out the EMP for a Colt Defender .45 ACP. Same holster, same type of mag carrier.
