I know I don't carry much, but my wife was shocked when I started to unload after getting home. On me was my Springfield in Tucker OWB holster strong side, Kel-tec P3AT Right rear pocket, Extra 1911 magazine weak side in mag carrier, keys, wallet, knife, and a spare mag for P3AT in front left pocket. When she asked why so mych stuff, I asked her if she wanted to dump out her purse and then compare who has more. She declined.

What do you carry on you on a daily basis? For the LEOs among us, what is your normal carry load in street clothes when off duty?

I carry a Ruger P97 plus two spare magazines. I figure 24 rounds of .45 will cover most situations, but I admit that I plan to carry 38 rounds when I get a Warthog and two P14 magazines.

I carry a Glock 36 which has 6+1 inside. That's it.

Kimber Compac w/ 8 rd Mag +1. In Kydex Topgun holster. Extra 10 rd Wilson Combat Mag. Pepper, cell phone, pocket knife, keys, pocket watch. When at church drop the .45 & have Kel-Tec P32 in R. back pocket, homemade holster, one extra mag in front pocket. High threat level go to 2 - 10's for Kim, little Kelly & her reload. Real high threat level as after Rita go to a Hoffner's quad pac for Kim that is very hidable & no thicker that my pepper. Holds 4 - 10's. Regardless of threat level I usually carry just about a step & half in front of me a lovely young bride of 37 yrs packing a Baretta .32 Tomcat. Wish she would opt for a bigger hole & faster stopper though.

Kimber Ultra CDP or Springfield Champion in a Comp-tac CTAC or Kramer Belt scabbard.
1 extra mag in either comptac or Rafter S mag holder

S&W 340 PD in Galco ankle Glove or Kahr MK9 in a pocket holster.

Benchmade 735SBT Ares Axis lock

Surefire E2e

Blackberry, Wallet, keys, ink pen, scratch paper, loose change, etc.

Looks like a lot of stuff but I don't even think about it during the day.

PT111/Strong Side/IWB/12+1

Depends on the mood....glock 26 is my newest addition and it is comfortable, I generally carry hydrashocks or gold dots. I have ordered a new Don Hume for it, but it is still a few days out. I am just as likely to carry my little Ruger SP101 .357 in a customized (by me) holster that works nicely with Gold Dots. In addition to this I carry my wallet, keys, Benchmade folder, and try to pawn off my call phone to my wife so my pants don't fall down.

I have to admit that while taking the afternoon walk with my wife I tone it down a little because of the shorts that lack a real waistband. I will carry my 100 pound puppy, 22 magnum 5 shot derringer, and some pepper spray.

Depends on where I am going / how I can dress.

At least: S&W 642 (5 rounds) on ankle or strong side IWB with 1 speed strip in week side front pocket.

Preferred: Ruger P89 or CZ-97 strong side OWB with 1 spare mag in cover garment pocket.

Occasionally: 2 of the above 3.

Always: Cell phone and knife.

Greetings--

With me--
G26 IWB (C-TAC) with 11 Fed Hydroshok rounds
folding pocket knife
Cell
Full wallet with DL, CHL CC, $$ ect
Small "card" wallet with $20 and an old canceled CC in left rear pocket. This is the one I'll hand over to a BG so I'll have time to draw if needed

I carry two loaded mags in the car-- same rounds. I occasionaly will put one in a pocket when roaming around.

I figure I've got enough to conceal w/o having to worry about a mag attached on my left side as well.

300shooter

Daily carry is Smith & Wesson 908, loaded with 8 + 1 of Speer's 9mm +P Gold Dot HP's, the ones designed (?) for short barrell weapons. Also tagging along on a daily basis are my wallet with DL & CHL (very little cash unfortunately), cell phone, Buck 110 Folding Hunter knife with the original Buck sheath, all neccessary keys, and the same $9.00 leather belt I bought at WallyWorld about 7 years ago. While at work the only thing missing from this lineup is the Smith 908, I'm sad about that, but rules are rules.

KBCraig---You say you carry a P97?? If you don't mind me asking, what method do you use to carry? IWB, OWB with cover shirt, etc. Reason I ask is because I'm becoming interested in carrying a little larger firearm lately (granted money allows).

dws1117 - I know the feeling, I was pulling the checkbook out of my wife's purse one day and pulled out 7 Hot Wheels, one wallet with checkbook, three used (yuk) kleenex, and a half eaten bag of popcorn!!! (????)

JLaw

I'm afraid of my wife's purse.

On bad health days the S&W 340PD gets some .38 Hydro Shocks and I add a Kel Tec 3AT and drop the 1911.
