Thomas Nordstrom, a “field superintendent,” sends in his collection for our EDC today. He calls it “FDE Fan.” I call it brand new, and never carried.
Look at that. No holster wear on his GLOCK 26. No pocket wear on his Streamlight single-AA flashlight. Zero wear on that Leatherman multi-tool. In fact, the whole thing, right down to those C-notes look brand new and never carried. What’s the point of having that stuff if you don’t carry it?
Yeah, some might say, “well, he takes care of his stuff.” I say the real world isn’t like that. You’ll get holster wear from carrying your piece and practicing with it. Just like you’ll wear off anodizing from your flashlights, and get scuffs, nicks and character on your multi-tool unless you keep it in a velvet-lined carried never to be used.
And unless Mr. Nordstrom lives in one of the 16 (or is it 18 now?) constitutional carry states, he needs a license to carry. I don’t see any wallets there. Or a holster for that matter. But hey, when all your gear is unused in your gun safe, you don’t need a holster.
Sorry for being a little harsh, but I like these EDC things to see what works for real people in the real world, not hypotheticals.
