Hats!!?!

We're going to include hat choices now!!?

Argh. I'll never find the time to list them all.

How about my collection of walking canes & sticks?

Shoes, boots, sandals or flip flops!?!

Sigh ...

:D

Well, for what it's worth...

S&W M649-3
Surefire EB1 w/ spare cell
SAK or "tac" folder
Notebook and Pen (Rite in the Rain)
Smartphone w/ stylus

And sometimes a walking stick when I'm out walking my dog or taking a stroll through the neighborhood.

Nothing exotic or fancy, really. I tend to "pack light."
 
EDC is usually a customized Model 64 either IWB or OWB depending on the clothes I wear. I can pocket carry it, too; I have a great holster for K frame snub pocket carry.

EDC was a Model 10 snubby in the same holsters as the Model 64 custom. I'll still carry it sometimes.

Lightweight clothing gets me to a pocket carry Model 642.

Ammunition is almost always high quality .38 Special defensive ammunition of some kind. However, the M64 often gets stoked with Fiocchi FMJ because I like the way they shoot in that gun.

On occasion, really lightweight clothing still takes me to my old Beretta 950 BS in .25 ACP.

Backup in my briefcase is a Walther PPK/S 22 stoked with CCI Mini-mags. Backup in my vehicles is a Model 638 with large, pink Hogue rubber on them. The grips work better than any others and they make me laugh.

When I head somewhere that I believe will include a great many targets of opportunity for bad guys I switch to an IWB carried 6906.

When I walk my dogs or bike ride I carry a Colt Cobra in a fanny pack stoked with .38 Special Silvertips. I might switch from those in that gun someday.

Always carry situational awareness, my hippack with water, inhaler, goodies, dog poop bags, and a 9mm pistol in a Sticky holster. Not a fast draw, but the holster stays put when I draw.
I also remember what the Lieutenant said at my CCW interview: "stay out of other people's business".

Small get home bag in the truck.





As an aside: found a great little EDC pocket knife earlier this month.......

Benchmade 15031-2 North Fork Folder...... wood scales.....all the benefits of a Benchmade..... w/ 2 3/4 inch blade ...... but

the wood scales and it's size makes it less tactical looking...... something I'm always looking for!!!!!

This is nice! Nothing quite like the look of a well-worn blued revolver! Really has a been there - done that look.

Nice load out.

Hey, you didn't happen to purchase that Model 36 secondhand at Lou's Gun Shop in Hialeah, FL did you?

Looks exactly like the one I traded in there in 1995. (I miss that gun and regret having done so in hindsight. It was my first backup gun I carried when I started out my LEO career in NYC.)
