In the last installment of Be Heard I asked you what handgun you carried and why. It was a great discussion with plenty of well reasoned responses (and tons of GLOCK owners). Now, I want to hear what you carry with your handgun and why.
Do you carry a knife? A light? How about a spare magazine? What else do you carry? Let us know what you carry and why so we can all start learning from each other. This is your chance to Be Heard!

Very well prepared man above. Do you wear cargos pretty regularly for the pocket organizer or spacious front pockets? I can only practically carry:
keys
wallet
phone(GZ one–>practically indestructible)
Kershaw scallion
spare mag
Fenix PD20 flashlight
I don’t know if I’m as well prepared as some but here is what I carry every day.
Glock 19 in a DeSantis Intruder
Lenwood Custom leather belt
Emerson CQC-11
Fenix LD10
wallet
iphone
Marathon TSAR (cause you gotta have some bling!)
I also carry a messenger bag/”he-satchel” that is mostly for carrying first aid gear and my lunch, but I do keep a couple of spare mags for the Glock too.
I’m sure its a carryover from my days in iraq, but I can’t understate the importance of having a good blow out kit. here are the contents of mine:
4″ izzy bandage x2
Asherman chest seal
wound seal
QC combat gauze
z-fold gauze x2
SOF-T wide
Robertazzi NPA
A legit BOK and the skill to use it are very important. It is unacceptable to win the fight only to bleed out or watch others bleed out before help can arrive.
This is not everything I carry EDC, but this is the bare minimum (excluding gun) that I ALWAYS carry when I leave the house.
ZT 301
SOG folder(One of 3 different models)

When I carry a gun (which is pretty much always) I also carry a minimum of one spare magazine.
My standard EDC includes a TAD Alpha loaded with GSW kit, fire starting/signaling kit, emergency shelter, water purification, etc. etc.
