This Smith & Wesson Model 649 has been a nearly constant companion since the 80s. When I don’t just put it in a jacket pocket, I use an old Strong holster or a Sparks Summer Special.

I’m still carrying 125 grain +P Nyclads. The knife is a Benchmade Mini Barrage which has performed very well for me.

My favorite light is the little Fenix E05 that is always with me on my keyring. I also have a larger Fenix or a Surefire depending on the circumstances.

The Buddha is reminding me to ‘be here now’, mindfully present, and is just another way of following Jeff Cooper’s suggestion to ‘live in yellow’.
