Let's see your EDC

I tried aiwb years ago. Didn't like it. Back then I was 6ft tall and 167lbs. It was just uncomfortable. Today the height hasn't changed but weight is up to 220 so I can imagine it would be even less comfortable. I carry about 7:30 position (lefty).

Nothing to show off. G19. Seen one, seen them all. Only add on is night sights

Nowadays, it's this:

Hey, at least it wasn't on a toilet seat. :D

The rest of the stuff is nothing fancy. A SAK or "tactical" folder, depending on whether I'm at work or not, a Surefire EB1 with spare cell in a delrin capsule, and an all-weather pen/notepad. I consider watches more a part of my attire than my "EDC load."

What can I say? I carry light.
 
I carry a 442 J frame in my left front pocket and one of a variety of other snubs in the waistband. Pepper spray, flashlight, multi tool on my belt. Speed loaders in my right front pocket, wallet left rear, money clip right rear. Phone on belt also. If I wear cargo pants or a jacket I can carry more stuff if I feel the need.

Very cool. Never seen a 19 with a finger rest like that. Do you have extra large hands? Also ever checked out Talon grips? They are really great for polymer pistols adding texture without bulk.

That particular magazine extension is made by Pearce Grips. I haven't shot a postal target match in many years. I always tend to fire in multiples of shots; and I don't want the pistol to move around (or, 'want' to move around) too much in my hand(s).

In recent years I've settled on Hogue, 'HandAll' rubber grip sleeves on all of my carry pistols. (I own more than one model of the same handgun.)

I've used Talon Grips in the past; but, they never lasted for as long as I wanted them to. They're also expensive. I finally gave up on them, and began cutting my own out of commercial skateboard tape that I picked up at a local bike shop.

Then I had the thumb, upper backstrap, and trigger finger areas on my G-21 nicely stippled - That modification has turned out to work very well, and given me excellent control over the gun! The following is one of my typical 20 yard rapid-fire pistol targets.

Sig P320 in .357 or Sig P229 Legion in .357 are my majority EDC. I have a 1076 and Sig 1911 Nightmare that I carry now and then.

EDIT to add: Often forgo the watch since my cell phone has a clock, seldom bother with a flashlight (one in the car) my key ring has an ignition key-fob and the front door key, usually carry a knife of some sort.

If you look closely there are two of them in the picture... Yes, on occasion they do get used. For some now unknown reason the one got mixed into my change and rode along for a couple months. The one on my keyring was thought to be a knife as I went through security at a court house by a young newbie guard. The older guard stepped in and took a look at what the fuss was about. He handed me my keys and wished me a good day. Then snapped at the kid as I was walking away and told him, "Look up p38 on your smarter than you phone."

Most courthouses I know of wouldn't let you in with that handcuff key, much less the P38 . . .
 
Now that we've moved to cooler weather, I have begun to carry my Kimber Ultra Carry in a custom KC Gunleather $OB holster with an untucked shirt. Extremely comfortable for all-day carry.....

Once I begin having to wearing a jacket, I'll rotate the Kimber with my 66-4 in my custom Snubbyfan.

DARKSTARR got attacked within the first 3 posts, jeez. Who cares how he carries as long as he carries. Gun, a spare mag, light , knife all essential stuff for EDC.
And how can you tell how high it rides without a pic of the holster and a pic of the person wearing the gun. I would think a thin person could easily carry a AIWB holster rather than a plump person.
poor guy , prob never see him on this forum again good job S&W forum
