The EDC Thread

Slim Wallet I stitched myself, Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire(with RoadID), NAA .22 Magnum, Taco Key Fob, Burt's, Benchmade CLA 4300, Streamlight Stylus Pro USB

This set up with for when I want to go light, normally carry my Shield 9mm or more rarely my 642.

 

Cheapo Gerber folder for now until I save up for a Benchmade Gryptillian. I was carrying a cheap Gerber Air Ranger knife. Best $10 I ever spent before I lost it, very light weight good utilitarian knife IMO and not so expensive that I was pissed when I misplaced it.

Everything I own has to take a beating. I have a Leathermen multi-tool that is in the truck and I carry a backpack everywhere with a flashlight etc. in it. I HATE carrying things in my pockets.

 

Nice shield!

 

It’s actually the M&P 9 Compact. But thank you!

 

I used to have a 9c loved that gun. Super reliable. Sold it in a pinch years back. Have a shield and carried that more so the 9c has to go. I’ll do an EDC dump soon.

 

My EDC dump:

Gen 5 G19 with Trigger polish and Ghost connector, Federal hollowpoints, Triton AIWB holster, Benchmade Nitrous, Tacoma keys, Nine line minimalist wallet, Costa Jose sunglasses

The differences here are: Shield 9mm w/apex trigger, another triton AIWB, federal hollow points, CRKT SQUID, Streamlight Strion, and my tungsten wedding ring.

OH and nobody tell my wife I used her platter for this

 

Wow, I need to do a new photo. Things have changed a little bit since this post.

 

• Glock 17 in a Foxx hybrid holster
• Spyderco Paramilitary 2
• Streamlight Protac 2L
• Coach card case (it has seen better days. Just ordered a Saddleback card sleeve to replace it)
• I have a handful of watches that I rotate. The one pictured is a Seiko Coutura
• Took the pic with IPhone XS

 

I need to update my edc photo in here apparently lol

 

Trying out the 365 XL for a bit. So far certain I’ll go back to my Glocks ASAP but giving it a chance a while longer.

Zebralight sc63w (1,126 lumens)

Kershaw Leek (I’ve tried them all and this is always the one I come back to. Always)

 

I always go back to my Leek as well. Absolute favorite knife I've ever carried. Holds an impeccably sharp edge and has NO bulk in pocket.

 

Sure, why not...

 

Hey, here's one I can contribute to! Poor photo composition and bad lighting be damned, here it is.

 

here is what the basic Californian carries.

i'm in the month that i rotate in a simple Swiss Army knife (pretty handy during the pandemic - because of beer) . the flashlight is with me all the time (living in earthquake country, wildfire, blackouts, total shenanigans country). i do carry a multi-tool in my man-bag.

 

One of the many knives I have been collecting over the years. Benchmade Infidel L/E and Infidel 10th year anniversary edition.

Looking for carry solutions in the taco

 

My home storage for my edc firearm. Next to bed push button quick release has silent drop and slides out for easy grab. Made and designed by me

 

works pretty well if you don’t need instant access. If you fold the leather pull tab under, it takes slightly longer to access, but it’s pretty much undetectable.

for quicker access, a piece of flat stock mounted between the front seat bolts is super simple, and makes a good solid mount for a holster of your choice. Depending on your arm length and usual seat position you may want to put a bend or two in the flat bar to adjust the position of said holster for convenient access. Sorry, I don’t have any pics of that one handy.
