Mine weighs in at about 2lbs and most of that is the LC9.

No knife because knife laws are so wacky and easy to get tripped up by in my state, so wallet, LC9, and keys are it.

You and I must lead very different lives - I use my pocket knife several times a week for this or that, and my light pretty regularly as well. You're not the kind of guy who 'tinkers' with stuff are you?

My main daily needs are covered with everything in this picture.
Gun.
Phone with bluetooth car key and home key so I don't have to carry physical keys on my person.
ID and debit card tucked under my S4 in a magpul case.
Chapstick.

I deleted my knife because I simply never used it, same with flashlight. I keep them in my car console for access if needed, but so far they've remained untouched. Somehow I've managed to survive without an IFAK, three knives, two flashlights, AR mag, pocket saw, MRE, baton, SAPI plates.

Am I alone, or are there more like me out there?

I am not. Hell I take my car to the dealership for oil changes

I don't begrudge anyone for carrying a knife or flashlight, I just never used mine so I quit carrying them. I just see a lot of guys in the EDC thread carrying more crap than I do on patrol, and that strikes me as pretty mall ninja.

One thing that separates me from many on this board is that I freely and willingly admit that I'm a hardcore Walter Mitty. But I'm a very well trained, very well equipped Walter Mitty. Keeps me in shape and amused with life, and in the great scheme of things isn't any more wasteful or silly than a lot of guys I know who are hyperfocused on golf, or fantasy football.

On my vest is my taser with a spare cartridge, one M4 mag, CAT, cuffs, radio, surefire, bodycam and battery pack, pens and notepad, kabar TDI.
On my belt is G22, two spare mags, asp, 2nd set of cuffs, can of Fox Labs.

If I could I wouldn't carry the CAT, 2nd cuff, M4 mag, or fox labs.

A few pages of browsing through the EDC thread will show a ton of guys that shove twice that amount down their pants for a trip to the mall. I carry that crap between a vest and a belt, I couldn't imagine trying to conceal all that shit in my pants. A lot of you guys just go a bit overboard. I'm glad this thread has shown that there are other people out there that try to carry as little as possible.

Who made that mag carrier??? I like it!
Link Posted: 12/13/2014 12:53:38 PM EDT

I am in unusual circumstances ATT. Work and home somewhat overlap, and I carry a little more due to that:

Carry Rig;
Milt Sparks holster w/Colt Lightweight Commander.
Rosen combo mag/light pouch w/extra 7 rd. mag and Surefire 6p variant.
Beltman or Wilderness gunbelt
Perry suspenders

Case pocketknife. Add a small fixed blade when it suits me.
Kerchief
Credit card/cash holder
Keys
Small notebook and pen
Ancient flip phone. Sometimes a Motorola radio
Reading glasses/sunglasses
Mints
Vape

Pretty practical really. Anything else I may need to carry out the plan of the day is in a backpack nearby.
I won't disparage the next persons choices in carry gear. Each to their own, I reckon. Hell, I ain't totin' it.
Link Posted: 12/13/2014 12:55:58 PM EDT

Keys (2 keys with a fob)
Sig 938
Sog trident
Big skinny wallet
iPhone

That covers 99.99% of situations that I encounter. Sure, I might need 2 spare mags, quick clot, and MRE, or a grenade, tin can, and para chord to make a booby trap, but I manage without.

S&W 638

In the winter I put my phone and flashlight in my coat

In the summer I put them on my belt.

Add a Leatherman Wave while I'm working.

I've always got a spare flashlight and a few extra rounds of ammo in my truck.

That's my normal carry load, it's pretty quiet around here. Now if I leave town I usually have a P229 9mm and 2 spare mags.

Phone with extended battery

I usually don't have my badge. I always have my department ID card though. I've been needing to get a belt clip for my badge. I recently switched to a money clip cause it's much thinner than using my wallet with badge holder. I just hate stuff in my pockets, especially thick stuff. It really bothers me. I don't mind weight on my belt as much as in my pockets.

Gun, pocket knife and pocket light, phone and wallet.

EDC:
P239 IWB. - deployed never (and glad).
Benchmade Minigrip front left. - deploy almost daily.
Streamlight Microstream LED penlight front right. - deploy multiple times daily.
Gerber Dime mini-multitool.
iPhone 5 - deploy multiple times daily.
Wallet rear left.



SC (Sometimes Carry):
Altiods tin first aid kit rear right. - deploy seldom.
Extra mag OWB (sometimes). - deployed never.

Retired:
Fenix LD02 - don't recommend Fenix, lost clip, they won't replace.

Knife and light so small, don't even know/remember they are there till I need them.
In summer I substitute a Nano for the 239.

Glock 30SF, spare mag, folding knife, wallet, separate id/badge holder & phone & that's it.  Didn't use to carry a spare mag until I realized that the extra 10rds didn't weigh anything & the extra security was worth it.

I actually only venture to town about once a week on average, so I may pack a bit heavy because I don't do it often.



Full size 1911 (getting swapped out for XD45 when it comes in)

spare mag

^^ supported by wildernesss 5 stitch

wallet in front left pocket

keys on carabiner

--on keychain is acme 636 whistle, mini flashlight, P-52 with mini ferro rod glued on. Carabiner itself has 400 pound capacity.

small folder

business card holder w/cards

pen

chap stick

phone




winter adds more, because it is dark, cold and stuff I do in the yard that ends up in my jacket anyway:

lighter

zip ties

flashlight

whatever else winds up in my jacket pocket

G17/G19, spare 17rd mag, wallet, phone, keys, knife, and snuff.  That is my minimum and maximum.
When running, only my S&W642 and CHL.

I dont carry a lot, but the G19 is the smallest I will carry (except running) and I will never not carry a spare mag. I dont understand why folks want the small pocket guns as their only weapon, but to each their own. seems like they carry a weapon to check the block...and yes, I carry what I do 24/7. my weapon comes off when I get into bed or get in the shower. If im in shorts on the couch, pistol is on the coffee table next to me. just habit.

I rarely have an extra mag. I've had "experts" scream at me that I should.

I know this is ARFCOM where everyone is an operator, and always conceals a plate carrier and 240B for a trip to the store... but does anyone else go the other way? We all know that carrying a bunch of crap sucks. When I'm off duty, I don't want to put my duty belt back on for a trip to Kroger. So who else carries the least amount possible without compromising capability?

My main daily needs are covered with everything in this picture.
Gun.
Phone with bluetooth car key and home key so I don't have to carry physical keys on my person.
ID and debit card tucked under my S4 in a magpul case.
Chapstick.

I deleted my knife because I simply never used it, same with flashlight. I keep them in my car console for access if needed, but so far they've remained untouched. Somehow I've managed to survive without an IFAK, three knives, two flashlights, AR mag, pocket saw, MRE, baton, SAPI plates.

Am I alone, or are there more like me out there?

That's very funny…but sadly very close to the truth in this forum.

I also tend to travel light - cell phone, car and house key, wallet and a CZ-75 Compact.

My EDC is pretty light/simple. The only thing not shown is my phone which I used to take the photo.

- IWB carry for firearm and mag
- right front pocket wallet along with keys and knife clipped to pocket
- phone in left front pocket.

Nothing in my back pockets.

I just carry my phone, wallet, and keys. Sometimes don't even bother with the wallet depending on what I'm doing, hooray for NFC. Sometimes don't need the keys. Always have the phone. Oh and a watch.

I pretty much quit carrying when I moved to NM, so I guess now I'm unarmed all the time. Oh, well. I'm light on my feet.

I carry pretty light as well:
S&W 9mm Shield in an Armordillo Concealment holster
Benchmade 9050
Wallet
Chapstick
Keys
Phone.  

Just picked up a Bodyguard. Since we only have like 4 days of cold here in Florida, it's easier to conceal the Bodyguard in shorts and T-shirt.  I'll start carrying it after I put some rounds through it and get a holster for it.  
In the truck I keep a small bag with Surefire flashlight and Glock 17 and spare mag, cell phone charger for the car, and Leatherman.  Bag comes out at night.
I don't see how some guys carry as much as they do.  Nothing wrong with it, but I couldn't stand the weight.

Gun , cell phone, wallet, keys, and condom.  I've never needed the gun or condom, but at least I'm prepared :)
