Big Todd, a criminal investigator from Tennessee sends us his “Working EDC” today. Via Everyday Carry.
He writes:
This is my 9-5 EDC. I carry all of this everyday. Looks a little bulky but the belt loop organizer really frees up pocket space. Everything stays in the same place so I always find what I’m looking for on the first try.
How about that: A S&W Model 442 revolver. Yeah, I remember those days when S&W came out with a new revolver or three every month. At one point, a retired cop gave me a poster with about a hundred S&W revolver models on it. Yikes.
And then, twenty years later, revolver sales have fallen off a cliff and everyone’s shooting semi-autos.
Heck, I know some fairly serious gun owners (defined as having a dozen or more guns) who don’t even have a revolver.
And here’s Big Todd with a wheel gun and no reloads. Hmmm. He does have a Field Notes notebook and pen. Along with a Leatherman tool (Signal model) for fixing things.
And I’ve got that same model of DeSantis holster, only for a Beretta 84. It offers little in the way of retention when taking one’s pants down to change or visit the restroom for business. Making lowering and hitching up one’s trousers a delicate operation. One false move and Mr. Gun visits the pool. No bueno.
