John, a military officer in Colorado (could this be at the Air Force Academy or Cheyenne Mountain?) sends in his off-duty carry for today’s EDC submission.
A Kimber 1911. Mmm, nice. Can’t go wrong, even if the design is approaching 110 years old. (Perhaps just maybe it was the original “perfection?”)
Apparently John (him, not me) carries it on an empty chamber though? Is that military training or just foolishness? Also curious what he uses for a carry rig. Frankly, I’d empty-chamber a 1911 if sticking it in my pants, but then again, I’m not high-speed, low-drag. Nor am I fluent in 1911 actions.
He clips a Spyderco Delica to his pants. I like the spidey knives too. But the Brinkmann flashlight? Seriously? Beats those Eveready floating 6-volt lanterns, I guess.
The Luminox Diver Navy Seal watch is an interesting choice. Nothing at all wrong with Luminox other than out of my budget, but I hope he’s in the US Navy! Although last I checked, Colorado didn’t have many seaports. But then again, the wife says I’m geographically challenged. Baloney. I’ve got the Google (woman) to tell me where to turn.
Good on John for carrying while off-duty. And good on him for carrying a flashlight, even if it’s not exactly a more conventional self-defense type torch.
And lastly, but not leastly: Thank you for your service, John.
