Where do you put all that stuff? - Page 2

goldshellback · January 19th, 2008, 09:50 AM

I generally keep my sidearm, 1 spare mag, a light, wallet, keys. I've been looking for a better way to carry some of this stuff without getting too "ninja-tacti-cool"......but I'm of the keep-it-simple-stupid line of thought. Just putting stuff in pockets gets buggy and I only like duty belts when actually on duty.

BE .40 full size in tucked IWB @ 4 o'clock
Tack light at 2
Knife at 2:30 (when I do carry it)
Spare mag at 9 in knife holster
Cell at 10
Matching sets of keys on biker wallet chain incorporated to front IWB clip
Card wallet in other back pocket
Front pockets empty

Coat or denim vest - Knife, compass, cigs, lighter, card wallet, BU knife, BU lighter, ear plugs, meter money, pipe and tobacco...This is what my wife refers to as my man purse.

A good pair of pants helps immensely.

Here's my strong side, with my XD in its UBG Canute, cell phone, lighter, and my waved Endura.

And my weak side, with the P3AT in its Graham K-RAT (large front pocket), Fenix P3D-CE, wallet, waved Delica, and three spare mags for the XD.

This doesn't include the little first aid kit in the lower strong side cargo pocket, nor the gloves in the lower weak side cargo pocket (neither of which has any discernible weight). Notice that my front left large pocket and both back large pockets are empty, and the only thing in with the P3AT is the holster. That way, I can still stuff pens/receipts/gum/change/whatnot into my strong side pocket without worrying about getting something in the gun, or at the worst, just stuff empty magazines into them during a reload. The only thing that goes in a pocket with a gun is the holster - period.

I'm right there with you! I'm a minimalist by most standards around here.

Kahr K9 IWB at 4:00. Spyderco Delica right back pocket. Very thin cell phone left front pocket. I'll carry a surefire e2e at 9:00 if I know I'm gonna be out after dark.....but I don't usually carry it during the day.

IowaWalker · January 19th, 2008, 01:22 PM

I carry my sig 239 on my left side OWB (3:30) in a FIST holster, my surefire 6P LED in a holster on my right (weak side) I carry two pocket knives (sometimes three) when it is two, one a Kershaw Leek pocket clips to my right rear pocket, and the Kershaw Chive is in my right front pocket along with change, & chapstick. (If I am carrying my third knife, a KBAR Law Enforcement TDI, it is beltclipped to the small of my back) My cell phone is on my belt by my surefire or in my left front pocket... my OC spray is in my coat pocket for very easy access... come summer time that will have to change. I carry a business card holder as a wallet... very, very thin, it goes in my left rear pocket. Any questions??

I forgot to add, I am 5' 5" and 140lbs

I carry my M&P45 in IWB right side 3:30 position. NAA mini mag in right back pocket, spare mag in left rear pocket, surefire and keys in left front pocket, wallet,knife and change in right front pocket. Plus my cell phone is on by belt in front of my left fronr pocket. I have no problems carrying this stuff except for I have no butt or hips so I am all the time pulling up my pants. But I am looking into a better belt so my pants stay up.

I think I need to get bigger pants. Holy hell..

Cell phone.. in whatever pocket I happen to put it in.
XD or MP strongside..
Sparemags.. weakside...
Keys.. same as cell.
Wallet.. standard right rear..

I can't stand to have anything else in my pockets. I hate making noise when I walk, I can't stand to hear things clinking together. I have a flashlight in my truck, next to my nightstand gun, in the kitchen, in the garage, living room.. I do not carry one on me, although that little surefire is getting my attenion.. the E2E i think it is.

There was a very good reason for that deletion.

Think about it...

I know there is a post with pictures about what do you have in your pockets.

Whats in your pockets? -pics!-

But my question is, how do you carry all that stuff? I am being challenged just to have a knife, keys, wallet, cell phone, pepper spray and gun, let alone a spare magazine, flashlight and whatever else you guys carry. (Sitting in the car is not fun

)

Do you have pictures of how you carry everything?

It's a piece of cake. Of course, every time I go by one of those refrigerators with all the magnets on 'em, I have to call 911 for the Jaws of Life to separate me from the fridge!

nutz4utwo · January 19th, 2008, 07:47 PM

pockets:

Keys- on shoe string and attached to pants. It's no fun to loose them
Binder-clip wallet (who needs a real wallet anyway?)
cell phone (oops not pictured!)
Chapstick
pen
change

jacket:

OC spray
latex gloves (these are useful!) and hospital mask in ziplock
Hand sanitizer
puny pocket knife for opening things
mini maglite
Warm gloves
Warm wool hat
Kleenex

that's a lot of junk...makes me feel like a woman!

sorry no firearm, OC spray is about all possible in NYC. Already training for my future permit when I leave...
