Today’s pocket dump comes from J.C. Leonard who says “I get asked what my local out & about carry normally consist of. This is my local around town near town carry when I’m out of the house. Of course I may have an ink pen a note book and a couple little things extra on […]

A Ruger LCP is the firearms portion of this EDC. John from South Carolina also has a Kershaw folding knife, a Gerber Crucial multi-tool, and a Nitecore light. Instead of debating the merits of .380 ACP as a main carry – because we’ve totally beaten that one to death – how about letting us know […]

Building an AR-15 might seem like a daunting task at first but in reality it’s a simple process – as long as you follow the steps and use the right tools. Tools are a definite issue; channel locks and a finishing nail are not what you need for the job (yes, I’m looking at you). […]

Michael in Florida sent in this pocket dump which includes a SIG Legion P226 and a Reate Kirby Lambert Crossroads knife. The Legion P226 is chambered in 9mm and is a DA/SA pistol. Do you carry a DA/SA? Do you see it as a safety measure or do you simply prefer double-action triggers?

What is this Tannerite stuff that people keep talking about? Aren’t explosive substances illegal or something? For starters, Tannerite is a brand of exploding target. You shoot it and it goes boom. You can see the obvious appeal. Oh, and before we have to say it elsewhere… we aren’t lawyers, there is no legal advice […]

This pocket dump comes to us from Jeff in Texas. His daily carry includes a GLOCK 17 and a Victorinox Swiss Champ Pocket Knife. It also includes ear buds, something I’ve been seeing with increasing frequency. Question: do you guys wear ear buds while you’re out and about? Both buds in or do you leave […]

This pocket dump includes a Ruger LCP and a blade. Given the recent .380 ACP debate I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on using one as your main carry. And if you do carry one, is it only for non-permissive environments or is it your daily carry?

Yes, there’s a GLOCK 17 and a Spyderco knife in this EDC. More interestingly there is also a 26-inch telescopic “self-defense stick” in there as well. Now, American president Andrew Jackson did once beat the crap out of a would-be assassin with his cane which is an awesome piece of history but…still. Who here carries […]

This makes the first GLOCK 19X carry I’ve seen. It comes from John in Tennessee who says he’s a school counselor (he also said he recently updated his EDC). He has both a weapon-mounted Olight and a handheld Olight. Nice to see both rather than only one or the other. Any other 19X carriers out there?

A GLOCK 19 with an Inforce APLc weapon-mounted light is the focal point of this pocket dump. Lights are a bit of a hot debate topic when it comes to weapon-mounted versus handheld, so, what do you think?

I like FN. I do not like the FN SCAR. But I like the FN SCAR 20S. A lot. People are complex that way. The FN SCAR 20S is the latest in a long and fabled line of battle rifles. FN can rightly call themselves “The World’s Most Battle Proven Firearms.” It was only a […]

This one comes from a guy giving his name using a Latin phrase – nonquam non paratus – which roughly translates to “never unprepared.” He says, “I had a request for a photo of the holster I carry my Glock 19 / INFORCE APLc combo in. But I thought that would be boring by itself… […]

We’ve all been there. Something’s taking up space in the back of the safe that hasn’t been fired in a long time. It’s just collecting dust and could be used as trade fodder or liquidated for something better. Or you need the cash to fix the car or pay the kid’s tuition bill. But in […]

Cole Robison of South Carolina says these are “just the basics, out for dinner or running errands.” His EDC includes a Springfield XD-S, an Olight, and a Benchmade knife. The XD-S has Night Fision brand tritium night sights on it which leads to my predictable question: night sights on carry guns, yay or nay? If […]

Today’s pocket dump comes from Dee in Florida who calls this his “slim carry.” It includes a color-filled Shield and a Kershaw Cryo II with a paracord lanyard attached. I’m torn whether to ask about lanyards on knives or color-fill so I’ll let you guys decide what to debate. Have at it.

From thenepalherald.com: The highest rate of fire for a machine gun in service is the M134 Minigun. The weapon was designed in the late 1960s for helicopters and armored vehicles. It fires 7.62 mm calibre rounds at a blistering rate of 6,000 rounds per minute, or 100 rounds per second — about ten times that […]

This pocket dump leads me to ask a question about what kind of real estate your EDC takes up on your belt. The pictured GLOCK 19 with a threaded barrel, GCode holster, and Black Point Kydex magazine holster belong to Felix, who says he is a contractor. The magazine holster specifically is broad and, since […]

This holster hack from Melody Lauer is a favorite of mine and a must-share. If you carry AIWB, give it a try. Give the Keepers’ Errand holster a look, too. Spencer Keepers is The Man for AIWB holsters and skills. “I have awesome ear pro! The muffs aren’t foam padded they are gel padded and […]

Today’s EDC includes a GLOCK 19 in an Alien Gear Modular Holster. The GLOCK 19 is nothing short of a classic – who among us doesn’t own at least one? – and the hybrid holster, well, that bears discussing. Food for thought: when comparing the different holster material options such as leather, Kydex, and hybrids, […]
