Damn byte that diaper bag is awsome. although im glad my daughter is potty trained, i would have loved to carry one of those around hahaha
Little Byte is still working on it.
As with anything, timing is everything. I Finally have the concept down with him. He tells me Poop and Wet...
Now if I can get him to tell me Before those occur... we will have it down pat.
[LOL]
I figure if I have to carry a Diaper Bag/Murse it might as well be semi-cool.
The great camouflage about that bag is that it doesn't look like a diaper bag.
Just some of the crap I carry. I usually have 1 or 2 extra mags another knife and some other shit like my keys. Oh and that's a zillion dollar bill incase SHTF[Tooth]

Frankly, I don't give a flying f**k what you carry (no offense). I just know we have LEO's that frequent the forum. What if you get stopped by one of our fine Law Enforcement friends? Unless they're one of the very few cool ones, the fact that they know you're armed is just going to serve to escalate the situation. I know I wouldn't advertise to the police I had a gun on me, legal or not. Okay, I'm off my soap box. [Beer]
Sorry but this is going in my sig man! [ROFL1]
I feel the same way. I hate polymer guns, but practically speaking they are really, really hard to beat. Glocks especially....the weight and size options alone make it a done deal...even though I hate the way it grips. The XDM will serve you well though, they are pretty solid little guns.
=D
Comeon, someone post a picture of his wallet and M82 as EDC please... [ROFL1]
I work with police, detectives mostly doing off duty work. None of them look at a legally armed citizen as a threat. In a situation last year a friend and myself were confronted by a mouthpiece in a KFC that thought we "were looking at him funny". After multiple attempts from my friend and myslef to diffuse the situation the guy just wouldn't stop. The people behind the counter had called the police and when they got there they asked him for his ID and he threw a fit that they didn't ask us. Needless to say he did right afterward and we both handed over CCW and CO ID. they asked if we were carrying and we said yes. they then called all four names in and handed us back our IDs and told us to have a good night. I have no idea what happened with the other guy. I'm sure they just wanted us to leave at different times.
Either way I don't fear the cops knowing me, or that I carry. And that little CCW shows them right off the bat that you aren't a felon. To me that is a good thing.
This is my new EDC (got my delivery from Milt Sparks today..ordered in Sept.). Have not picked out a good flashlight yet...

So you keep the mag in the leatherman case, and just keep the leatherman in your pocket?
yeah, may not make much sense but I'd rather have the leatherman wandering in my pockets and know exactly where the mag is
No, it makes perfect sense. Just wondering. I've considered wearing a cell/leatherman pouch on my belt and putting my mag in it. However, where I work, I KNOW that I'd be asked to show either a cell (coworkers) or leatherman (management) at some point. So it goes in the pocket for me.
I'll play the troll here... In most every EDC thread I have seen on various forums they all raise some BS flags to me. Guns have no holster wear, leather holsters that havent even been broken in, Crossbreed type holsters with no salt stains, kydex without a scratch on it, belts that have no "buckle crease", knives that are clean with perfect unmarred (most appear to have never even been re-sharpened)blades, handles of knives not packed full of lint and other pocket junk, etc.

Popped the tip off stabbing some smart ass troll
Kidding, I Dropped it.
The Belt is almost new
as for the rest of your call, I try to take care of my shit. Its all I can do to afford it the first time, who has money to replace it due to negligence?
Note: They do make leather oil that will resist sweat(Mink Oil?) + Undershirts/T-Shirts = Less sweat stain
that was covered in a thread a long time ago...
Most peoples daily carry photos are from a distance back... thus removing the nicks, scuffs etc.
Its also possible that they are like me and clean, Redye Holsters and Weapons
I know if the finish on the XD Started to go I would find the money to get it taken care of.
The knife tip bothers me but for the most part its still functional. I will get another one someday.
The original poster of that picture already posted the link for the thread covering his rust issue, but in case you didn't see it, I will post it again.

stainLESS finishes are not impervious to rust, and any number of different things can cause a persons firearm to rust like that, including defect from the factory.
I am still trying to figure out how this guy thinks our EDC should be worn out and damaged because we carry it everyday.
The previous photo of my CBH was the day before maintenance.

Apparently we are supposed to treat our stuff like shit and use them in ways not they are not supposed to be used. I guess I can go see how my guns work as hammers, and knifes work as pry bars. Just can't help but to take care of my things, my bad.
Maybe I should have said that I don't put loose change or anything that can scratch or mar things up in the same pockets as those things that I like to keep looking new. I clean out my holster and pockets also whenever I get anything abrasive in them like sand so my crap doesn't get scratched. The leatherman is only a week old, but still, it will look like that in a year if I can help it. I use my stuff regularly, however I use it carefully as a personal choice. I assume the comment about the daily carry stuff that looks like it is in great condition was directed at people like myself who take great care of their items. Some people just go that extra mile when taking care of their things. I have an HK91 that that has 3 visible scratches on it. Some would call it a safe queen if they saw it, however I have put two barrels on the damn thing already (easily my most used rifle).

I got this holster in a trade, and wore it pretty much everyday for a year and a half or so, and who knows how much the previous owner wore it. It doesn't look beat to hell, or even well used, but I take care of the stuff that I may have to stake my life on someday. Hell I have a cheap mini bic that I carry everyday (not as smoker tho), and it gets a looking over and a function test daily.
I'm a little late but here's mine.

Why a single action? Cause I had to sell my 1911 and I'm just as fast cocking the hammer on it as I am disengaging the thumb safety on my 1911, I'm faster getting a sight picture with it than any gun I currently own, and its definitely the most reliable gun I own.
