The EDC Flashlight Thread

[Glocktogo]

Surprisingly enough, I don't carry all that much on a daily basis. Gun, spare mag, flashlight, badge, knife. That's about it. On duty is a different story of course.

Surprisingly enough, I don't carry all that much on a daily basis. Gun, spare mag, flashlight, badge, knife. That's about it. On duty is a different story of course.

Actually, since I've became a minimalist and shaved down my EDC rotation quite a bit, I carry about the same amount of stuff off duty as well as on duty.

On duty:

Beltline: Wilderness Instructor's belt, 1.75" wide with C.S.M. insert.

Carabiner holding keys and Fenix E05 flashlight at 2 o'clock.

Glock 27 with G23 mag wearing an A&G sleeve, in a Safariland model 6377 ALS holster (belt loop model) with STX Tactical finish at 3 o'clock .

Hiatts handcuffs tucked into belt at 4:30 - 5 o'clock.

Safariland model 573 handcuff/mag pouch in STX Tactical finish, holding Glock 23 magazine with a Glock factory (7151) "+" extension and a pair of Peerless handcuffs at 9 o'clock.

Pockets:

Right front: Fenix E15 flashlight.

Right Rear: Wallet/badge case.

Left rear: Black Looper Leather notebook cover with Rite In The Rain F.I. notebook and Duluth Trading cotton hankie.

Left front: Case XX Canoe pocket knife and Surefire E1B Backup clipped inside.


Off duty:

Summertime, I hardly ever wear a belt. I usually wear gym type shorts that tie with a drawstring.

Pockets:

Right front: Glock 27 with standard length, 9 round magazine, with Pearce PG-39 extension in a Blackhawk pocket holster (soon to be upgraded to an Alabama Holster Company kydex pocket holster).

Right rear: Wallet/badge case.

Left rear: Duluth Trading cotton hankie and Glock 13 mag in Alabama Holster Company kydex mag pouch.

Left front: Case XX Canoe pocket knife, Fenix E15 flashlight and Surefire E1B Backup clipped inside.


Like I said - I don't carry much. A wise old man once told me, "the older I get, the less I need."

I've found this to be true for me as well.

I usually have one of these with me in a bag, loaded half with CR123s and half with lithium AAs.

GED, you really need to post a pic in the EDC thread of all the junk you carry daily. Are you even capable of going out in anything but cargo pants/shorts and a chest rig with your current EDC loadout?

See thread about man bag

 

[chr_edw]

I might have to try one out.

Nah! I gave up on the manbag.

I figure everything I need, I usually have on my person.

The only thing I would need a murse for is a snack and a coupla bottles of water.

Just got these in the mail. The MoonGlow really glows.

I suck at taking dark-shots with this camera, but you can still see the glow:

That is bright! Are they so you can find batteries in your bag easier?

I'm not sure what it's for, but it is pretty cool \

Only the Moonglow one does that. The Orange and Yellow don't glow.

I rarely carry a flashlight on me. If I need one I'll use my phone. If I feel I need one on me, it's usually a fenix LD10.
