OK, I have read through a lot of the posts on the forum, on what people bring with them for every day carry. Short of bringing a backpack or briefcase with you, how do you carry all the stuff?
In reading the following items I think more or less hit everybody’s list:
Handgun
Spare magazine or speed loaders
Holster
Knife or leatherman type tool (or both)
Wallet
Keys
Phone (these keep getting bigger)
(for me it is a G27/spare mag/leatherman original/crkt m16 folder/steamlight “aaa” battery flashlight/wallet/iPhone/car key with fob)
some carry the following, in addition or instead of the above:
2nd handgun
2nd spare magazine
Flash light or tactical flashlight
Bigger leatherman type tool
Pens and notepad
Lightweight armor
Chemical sprays
Etc
some articles even recommend having a pocket trauma kit with you . . .
Do you wear it all in your belt and in your pockets?
Do you carry the spare magazines or speed loaders in your pockets or in a magazine pouch on your belt?
I assume everyone has given up on trying to tuck in their shirt with every day carry. Is this correct?
This is one of the reasons I use a shoulder holster system as it takes care of the spare magazine and tactical flashlight issue for me, but definitely have to wear oversized shirts with patterns to hide it. I am not arguing for shoulder holsters, it’s just what works for me right now.
How do you guys do it?
Is there a particular brand or style of pants you prefer for this?
Particular brand of shirt for some of this?
Do you wear a vest? (Clothing, not tactical)
Suit jacket?
Nap sack?
Batman style utility belt?
Fanny pack? (Very useful, but I just can’t stand the ridicule )
Do you just hang it all off your belt and cover with shirt?
thanks
