slappy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hi Everyone, So, I was debating guns on FB with a quasi-anti-gunner and he asked what I thought was "reasonable" for EDC. Now, obviously, there's a legislation trap there, but I posited that most CCW carriers probably carry a single gun and 16-53 rounds. I came by that number by figuring that most people would carry at least a single spare mag, especially for the "pocket" guns and many carry 2. Now I'm curious to hear from other CCWs as to what your actual EDC is. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC702 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I only conceal it in the winter, but it's a 1911 with 9 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowfin Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Depending on what I'm doing or wearing, I carry either a Kahr CW380 with 1 spare mag (6+1+6), S&W Shield 9 w/ 1 or 2 spares (7+1+7 or 14), or S&W M&P40c w/ a spare (10+1+10). Sometimes I might have the Kahr as a backup for either of the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I rotate between two different pocket pistols (in DeSantis Super Fly pocket holsters). Each carried with two spare magazines. (6 + 1 + 6 + 6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truespode Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I wear shorts 10-11 months of the year and work from home so I pocket carry a SW Bodyguard 380 with a magguts spring kit for 7+1 but sometimes carry an FNS9c 12+1. I don't carry any extra mags. If I buy something on CL I carry my full-size FNS9 17+1 with two extra mags in my pocket.

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 For 25 years, I carried a Kel-Tec P11 with no extra mag, most of the time - Still do, but IF I feel I'm in "more dangerous territory", I carry a M&P with 13 and a spare 17 round mag.

Nimitz Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Taurus PT738, no extra mags .... 6 + 1 is plenty. Can't ever imagine a scenario where I'd need more than 7 rds .... having said that: when the Zombie Apocalypses hits and I need to take down herds of Walkers with head shots from a dead run one-handed I'll be carrying my Sig MPX ... with my STI, CZ Shadow and every mag pouch I own on my belt .... oh and I'll probably be toting around my M2 & M4 while that ammo lasts ....

Reshoot Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The majority of the time, here in the country, I carry a Taurus 5 shot revolver with 5 extra rounds. If I'm traveling to a murder & maham city, I carry an XDm 40 S&W with 16 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1A4ME Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Usually a CZ P07 in .40 S&W. Thirteen in the gun, a seventeen round magazine in my left front pants pocket and two more seventeen round magazines in a pouch in my left cargo pocket. Occasionally (road trips with my wife, who carries a CZ 75 Compact in 9MM) I carry my CZ 75 Compact. Fifteen rounds in the gun, an 18 round magazine in my left front pants pocket and two more 18 round magazines in a pouch in my left cargo pants pocket. On a road trip I also carry a couple extra double magazine pouches in the car in the "pockets" on the bottom of the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowski87 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Shield most of time here in the hot/humid south east. But I have 8 in the gun with two 8 round reloads. Now I'm carrying a colt commander with 10 in the gun and two 9 round reloads and if I decide to go a little bigger I will carry my P07 with 16 in the gun with one 15 round reload.The way I look at spare mags is it's cheap insurance. Mr. Murphy is always around the corner, and if I have to tap rack bang or ditch a mag due to a double feed I want another mag with me.Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvc4you Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 When wearing light clothes Keltec P3AT in 380 in my pocket in Desatis holster. Have not found anything more discrete than this for the same PF. With regards to the Zombie Apocalypse I will stick to my open gun and FN-FAL.

Sparetime Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I suppose I'm on the higher end of the spectrum, m&p with 17+1, and at least one extra mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1991a1colt Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I carry a full size CCW and at least one extra mag. I'm retired LEO, and have seen too many of my colleagues carry small 5 shot revolvers and had one run dry in a shooting during a confrontation with a guy who he had arrested prior. Guy had a semi auto full size and they both ran dry. Needless to say it didn't turn out well for my colleague and his wife. They survived but both had a few more holes in them then the bad guy did who took only one to the arm and kept shooting them. Incident was at night after leaving a restaurant and he could not see his front sight. Needless to say we all had to rethink our CCW plan. Most of the time I have 17 in my carry and two extra 17 round mags. Plus this day and age with these crazy active shooters, I think everyone needs to carry a combat capable weapon system with extra mag(s).

Bingo The world has changed. A 5 - 7 round gun with no extra mag used to be minimally adequate. Not no more. Rules of engagement have changed, Gentlemen - got to step up the firepower ....

Mikeski Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) When I'm out and about alone it's my M&P Shield, +1 extra Mag. When I've got my kids with me (2 yr and 4 Mo) I have FNS in the super secret pocket in the Diaper Bag. The down side of carrying in Florida is I wind up wearing shorts and a t-shirt 90% of the time. So it's hard to conceal a full size on your person. So I like to keep something in my car, and in the diaper bag when I;m out with the family.

slappy Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have to say, I'm surprised how many people are carrying M&Ps and how few people are saying, "Glock." I typically carry a 26 with a spare mag or a 19 with a spare mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSpaderInfantryman Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I normally carry an HK45CT with 2 extra 10-round mags. When in shorts, used to be a Glock 26, now a HK P30SK and two extra mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cby Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 normal edc equates to a dan wesson specialist. 10 +1 with 2 spare magazines. , dress clothes = xds .45 with 2 spares, enemy territory = either the specialist or the 15 +1 sig .... usually the d wesson .....
