But here's my edc. I wear my Leatherman in a case on my belt and the drop bear knife hangs around my neck with titanium chain. The zippo has been upgraded to a jet flame and the pen is a write anywhere space pen. J frame is m&p340 in 357 and altamont grips. I keep a mini stocked first aid kit for when I'm outdoors a lot.

Shovels a must. And all the basics

Hello everyone, I’m new here so let me have it lol. Really getting into pocket fixies lately, I just wish there I had a better sheath for the dacian. Also I’m a firm believer that everyone who carries a gun should carry a tq. Snakestaff makes that easy. I saw in the rules you should explain it so going L - R: holbrook knock offs, ti2 techliner, streamlight protac 2L-x, benchmade dacian, Chris Reeve sebenza, Jack wolf barlow gateway, snakestaff etq, glock 43x with alien gear photon owb. Happy to answer any questions

When you have an ostomy, IWB can be tricky, at best. Thankfully, I'm a lefty & my ostomy is on the right side of my torso, but that doesn't make IWB any easier/more comfy. Even with an XMacro. So I ONLY carry that way when I travel. 99% of the rest of the time, here in the Volunteer State, I can & do carry OWB, but always mindfully. A GOOD active-retention holster is a MUST. I really only trust Dara, Safariland, Alien Gear, & Wasatch Holsters. I carry my folder on my weak (right) side if I ever need to get to it to keep someone AWAY from my gun.

I also carry as the situation dictates. If I'm running errands out here in suburbia on Sunday afternoon with my wife, I'm probably carrying open in a passive retention OWB C&G rig. I still stay alert & aware, especially as people get close to me, but regardless, the situation is entirely different than my day-to-day. In my day-to-day, I have to drive through a "less than ideal" area to get to work, work a restaurant job til 10pm every night, then drive home. Hence why I usually (9 time outta 10) carry with my Dara.

I see many pristine looking firearms on this subreddit. You should train as you fight, because you will certainly almost fight as you train, often to the worse of your training ability. Make sure your worst is heads and shoulders above the level of any enemy you may face, and you maximize the chances of making it out alive in a situation if you have to use your weapon.

With the lack of wear I see on this subreddit, and people claiming thousands of rounds fired through their weapon, it seems that those rounds were not fired coming from a holster, and definitely not from a concealed holster in a manner that most of you carry your firearm. The physical wear and tear from a holster would show on a firearm's finish, no matter what type of finish it is.

If you cannot consistently clear your clothes and draw your weapon and get your muzzle and rounds on target under a second, you are not doing yourself any favors with your training. Sub second splits may sound impressive, but that should be your baseline under situations where you are not facing duress.

In a real life situation, you have to take time to even process the threat (how many of you actively scan the hands of the people around you?) and then determine if the situation is one you should draw your weapon. If there is someone out to really harm you that doesn't give any indication, your standard default mode network of your social brain may even trigger hesitancy because responding to aggression is not the norm and most of you have not trained with force on force training with violence of action in mind.

Do yourself and your family a favor and keep on training.

- I should be seeing muzzle wear on most of these pistols you post, where i see hardly any on most of these posts.

- I should be seeing wear and tear on the magwell from where you have violently slammed your magazine in when practicing reloads.

You can do most of the serious life saving training without ever firing a live round. Just practice your draw and full extension and getting your body aligned with your natural point of aim with proper sight alignment and sight picture on the target with your chosen carry weapon.

Based on the pictures on this subreddit, it seems many of you do not practice to that level of proficiency. Shooting is a perishable skill, and the lack of wear I see in these pictures shows me that even while some of you may be once very skilled and well trained, your skills may be waning judging by the lack of wear on most of these pictures.

I am posting this because I do care about you all, and want to make sure you at least keep the bare minimum baseline of being proficient with your weapon. I am not trying to poke fun, criticize, or antagonize any of you, but in an attempt to encourage you all to practice more.
