How fancy and up to date is your every day basic carry?

Glock 19 Gen 3 circa 2008, so not very new, not very old.

(ZT 0566) However, I also believe in having a fixed blade, (Kershaw Echo) and a multitool (Leatherman Wave) on me. I love the old long-discontinued Kershaw Echo, but it's crappy sheath just had to go. I had the horizontal sheath made. It rides just to the right of my belt buckle, and can be out in a flash with a quick tug.

Man, I remember when I used to carry a Batman utility belt. Fixed and a folder, I'm impressed with your dedication to being prepared. These days if I drop a surefire light in my pocket, there is a real risk it might still be there when I put my pants in the washing machine.

Depends on what Im wearing
Either shield, or g19 with tlr1

Only other items I carry are big skinny wallet, 2 iphone 7’s, pocket knife(crkt m21-14g).
Couple treats and poop bags if I have the dirt-wolf with me.

It really is what sold me on SF lights. They never made it into the dryer, but they have been washed more than a couple of times. These days I have to do a "self frisk" when I come home and carry gun, keys, wallet and other accessories all have to go in the same place or else I can't find them again if I decide to go outside again.

About 10 years ago a spare magazine in a pocket made it's way into the laundry basket, thankfully I was doing the laundry that day and noticed it before I put it into the machine. I'd have never heard the end of that one and it was the day I accepted I have to ritually account for everything on my person every day I go in or out of the door. It was also about the time I accepted that I don't need a SIG with four spare magazines, a Gerber Mark II, a Protech Godfather, A SureFire 6p, a Charter Arms detective BUG, an ASP and a pair of Monadnock nunchaku on my person at all times...just in case.

One day I was pulled over for a tail light out and when the cop asked me if I was carrying (I usually hand over my CWP with my DL) I said "yes" and when he asked what and where it was I gave him the fully laundry list and he pretty much ran my license and told me to "have a nice day."

Beretta M81FS 7.65 mm, Beretta M950BS 6.35 mm, and a Ruger LCR .357 have been my three for about four years now. (not at the same time of course)

Always have extra ammo for whatever I carry. Unless I'm carrying two in which case I carry extra for one of them.

Phasing out the LCR .357 (not replacing .38 / .357 ammo) for either an LCR .327 (Like the wife has) or some double-action auto. Getting my Tomcat back from a relative so If I can get it running well that would work.

Always looking out for a 9x19 that could replace the Beretta 81 but, the size, weight, form and function of the Cheetah just works for me.
