Pretty much this on a daily basis.
There are times I leave out the mag and or flashlight, change out knives, but this is the typical stuff.

I changed out my flashlight to the new E30R from my PD32 the other day.

It varies a little depending on where I'm going, what I'm doing, what I'm wearing, etc., but for the most part my EDC consists of (except where prohibited):
Beretta PX4 Compact in a Kramer IWB#3 holster Spare mag in a TT Gunleather pouch Beltman 1.25" horsehide belt Spyderco Delica, blade shortened to just under 2.5" Nitecore MT1A flashlight Nitecore keychain light and a small Leatherman multitool on my keychain (along with my keys) Watch (standard Casio G-Shock) Smartphone Wallet Notepad and pen Pocket first aid kit in a "2nd wallet" for minor "boo-boos" Small trauma kit in an ankle holster
Sometimes I carry a 642-1 instead of the Beretta. If I do, it's usually in a Side Guard Holsters Quick Clip IWB holster, and either a speed strip in a Simply Rugged belt pouch or a couple of speedloaders in JOX pouches. Rarely, I'll carry the 642 in a Nemesis pocket holster.
If I have my backpack, I usually have a bit bigger trauma kit, a 4Sevens flashlight (360 lumens), and a larger Leatherman Tool (a bladeless Fuse, I believe).
If I have time later (i.e., I'm not feeling so lazy), I may take a picture of my gear.

Left pocket: SIG P365
Right pocket: Wallet, keys, flashlight, flashdrive, spare mag for P365.
Phone is iPhone XS Max, on hip is: Glock 32 with TLR-7, spare mag, cuffs, badge.
That's my daily loadout plus whatever pocket knife I grab.
Not minority enough!

My on body carry kit has changed over time. Currently this is my EDC in no particular order:
Sig P220/10mm - IWB canted right side appendix Two spare mags for P220 - left side appendix Ka-Bar TDI knife - at 12:00 Beltman belt Two key ring holders to keep holster clip from riding over belt loops Glasses with retaining chord T-shirt with pocket Rite in Rain pen in T-shirt pocket Skilcraft B3 aviator pen in T-shirt pocket Streamlight MicroStream on neck lanyard SureFire Titan Ultra-Compact on neck lanyard Keys Wallet with $1,000 emergency cash Checkbook Small waterproof paper notebook Tube bandanna Cell phone Leatherman - currently MIA Pocket tape measure Automatic mechanical watch wedding ring blood sugar test kit Kindle Khaki Dickies cargo pants Hawaiian shirt - over sized New Balance tennis shoes An extra 100+ pounds of stored calories for surviving unexpected famine conditions
If I know I'm going to be in the sun, I bring a broad brimmed hat and khaki Mechanix Fast-Fit gloves - for Vitiligo
During the winter I tend to wear a hooded, zipper sweat-shirt instead of Hawaiian shirt.

I carry a copper Sigforum challenge coin. Kind of surprised that I’m the first to post about it.

I’m a bit surprised at how many members carry a flashlight everyday. I carry one from time-to-time, but never considered carrying one all the time.
