What can you not leave the house with out. What do you wear like jeans, pick out like a shirt or tie.

I love guns, pens, watches, and knives. I am constantly changing up due to the weather, or clothing. I thought it would be nice to look at this thread as a show and tell, and as an explaination into solutions we search for in a good daily carry.



The above:
Beretta 3032 in a galco pocket holster. This rides strong side jacket pocket, opposite pocket is my wallet.

Next is my Ted Yost BHP in r grizzle leather. Since moving south i have changed from inside the waist band to outside the waistband.

My 3 year old leatherman tread. I use it daily for something.

My (GEC) tioudette (sp) simple folder. I gravitate to small folders when using a knife in public.

My vintage victorinox officers automatic with power meter.

Streamlight AAAA penlight

A Parker 21. Great fine point daily use pen.

Cossatot 600 1000 lumen rechargeable light.

Lionsteel KUR. Sleipner steel.

My kids birth proofs.

Cheap, $12ish made-in-China Amazon.com wristwatch with the huge bezel and throwaway quality when the battery dies. So big and homely that I just love the stupid thing. Hard, sharp edges for hitting...just in case.

Keys. One set for the house, a separate for the particular car I'm taking that day.

G23, sometimes with an extra mag of HSTs...just in case. KRounds IWB clip holster, mag holster.

Kershaw Blur; worn finish, chipped aluminum housing, replaced blade and torsion bar. Beat to hell, and still going strong.

Wallet, with the usual, seldom accessed stuff like health insurance stuff, along with some daily cash.

Clip wallet, with ID, CCs, debit card, carry permit, bigger cash (sometimes)...the critical stuff hidden on the person elsewhere from the normal "wallet".

Fenix E05 micro flashlight.

Sometimes a nail clipper. Just 'cause it comes in handy, and not only for fingernails/hangnails. Sometimes one of my SOG multi-tools, just 'cause it comes in handy as well.

I'm very basic. Pistol, holster, 2 spare magazines, blade, wallet, phone and keys.
Pistol may change due to what season it is but everything else stays the same.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Wallet, house & car keys, cell, g-shock, throwaway Kershaw folder (brawler?), ball point pen, long pad lock, ball cap.

My employer prohibits weapons on the property, license or not, with the ability to randomly search vehicles. I need the job more than I figure to need the gun.


A Perpetual Disappointment...

I'll play...

- Glock 26 with +2 extended mag in a Bianchi Subdue holster
- Sometimes an extra Glock 17 mag, depends on where I'm going and what pants I'm wearing
- Spyderco Paramilitary 2 folder
- Victorinox Tinker
- Leatherman Squirt P4
- Small Bic lighter
- Wallet
- Streamlight ProTac 1L
- Fisher space pen
- When in the mood I'll wear either a Casio G-shock or Citizen watch I've got, forget the model
- Usually my Samsung Galaxy S7, but if I can leave it I do


-----------------------------------------------
What's the sense in working hard if you never get to play?

Keys, wallet, eyeglasses, knife, and phone (although phone isn't essential unless at work).

I usually wear a watch, but it isn't essential.

Recently, a wristwatch, a S&W Model 60, keys, Swiss Army Climber, an iphone, and my wallet. Some of you guys must wear suspenders to handle the loadout.

Yup - Same mental checklist before I leave the house - "Keys, wallet, phone, pistol, mag, flashlight, knife".

G19, G17 reload, Emerson, Fenix. It never really changes, it's not a fashion statement or fashion show.

Occasionally a BUG (LCP or MP340) will be added in cooler weather, but not often.
