Concealed Carry; What Do You Carry on a Daily Basis?

[TacticalSledgehammer]

I'm sorta new to carrying daily. I've taken my class over a year ago, and just recently started carrying daily. I used to only carry when I would go into the high crime areas, or nights. Some recent events and articles I've read changed my thinking. So Anyways....

I typically wear jeans and a shirt (plus fleece pull over, jacket, coat depending on weather). In warmer weather its normally shorts and a shirt for me. Pocket wise, I typically have 4-5 pockets, 6 if the shorts are cargos. So with that being said, I carry a Glock 27 IWB style on my right side. During the day that's mostly what I carry when I go out and about. I've thought about carrying an extra mag, but that only works with some of the pants I have and shorts, but not all. Where do you manage to put other things like mags, lights, etc... without having it all hang from your belt or have stuffed bulging pockets?

I'm surprised we don't have one of these threads already lol. I carry a Kimber compact (officer frame with commander slide.) IWB at 4 o'clock with shirt worn over it. Thin and perfect.

I did find a use for this little pocket today. I'm surprised I've never thought of it before now.

Off duty I carry my G 27 in a Desantis holster usually in the 4 o clock position on my left side (I shoot subcompacts left handed) if I am wearing pants with bigger pockets I will pocket carry sometimes in the left front pocket. Always be sure to never have anything else in the pocket that could get caught in trigger guard and cause AD. I also usually pack a small flashlight in my right front pocket and a spare magazine on a modified ankle holster. I rigged up a double mag holster from an old Uncle Mikes ankle holster and it works great. Very secure, easy to get to and does not take up pocket space or create more weight in pockets

I carry my PPQ with TLR-1s on my strong side hip and a spare mag in a mag holder on my weak side. I have a pocket knife and small Streamlight ProTac 1L light in my pocket.

Pockets can work for a spare mag, but if you're going to carry your spare mag in a pocket, train with it there. I've seen many guys run their spare mags in a mag holder on their belt while at the range or training class, but then put it in a pocket when they are out and about. It can be hard to get a mag out of a tight pocket under stress, so just make sure you train how you carry, and then do whatever is most efficient for you.

I agree with the pocket statement. Right now it's all I have, so I'm making due. The pic I snapped is my right side but looks like my left. If this small pocket were on my left side it would be ideal. The mag sticks up in a ready to grab position. I plan on practicing until I get something else (mag holsters, etc...)
