One of the following + a benchmade bugout.
1: Sig P365xl Rose, 2 o'oclock in a vedder rapid tuck or lighttuck depending on clothing choice
2: S&W MP9 Shield with trijicon sights - Vedder pocket locker
3: Glock 30 Gen 4, Trijicon SRO - Vedder rapidtuck - this is really a truck gun that goes in the center console when I'm hauling my race cars around - I find its far bulkier to carry then the 365xl or the shield.
 
My everyday carry is my CCW (P365X. G43X, or G19). I have a bugout bag in my car with everything else. When I go into places you cannot CCW I carry Fox Labs Pepper Spray.
 
Glock 43x, with radian comp and shield mags for my main carry, and G45 as my other carry. Both have tier one holsters and I carry a small
Streamlight and a leatherman side clip and my challenge coin from the army.
 
What is your EDC? Do you carry knife, pepperspray, and/or gun?
Picked up a walther PD380 and I love it so far. A bit of a learning curve for the paddle mag release but im getting used to it. Thats the only con I can find with it. It shoots soft and flat. Its my first .380. Id like to get my hands on a Beretta cheetah as well
 
radian everything p365 xmacro; eps carry + tlr7sub
pom pepper spray
little modlite handheld if dark
apex dev med kit in bag

super minimal, doesn't really get in the way of my daily life
 
I have an Opinel pocket knife that wouldn’t do jack squat in a defensive situation but it’s a hell of a utility knife. I know some self defense but I’ve never had to put it to real life use.
CCW application in process, applied with my:
-Beretta 3032 Tomcat
-Walther PPKS
-Beretta 92 (even though it’s a bit big for CC)

I firmly believe that for a carry gun, reliability trumps accuracy and stopping power. 95% of situations will be within 10 feet where accuracy is less of an issue. As for stopping power, well, I ain’t trying to kill nobody. But a .32 bullet can certainly disable a kneecap or two.
