To my RUclips manual reviewer: I am not selling any firearms or related accessories. This is a semi automatic pistol in its factory configuration and I am a certified firearm instructor and range safety officer. This was filmed under supervision at a private range. Thank you.

Welcome to the official pocket dump and EDC overview of Nightwood Guns! In this video I will share my EDC kit that I have put together over more than a decade of (legal) concealed carry. I share what I have found to be the best holster, pistol, light, knife, etc for every day carry. Keep in mind, this is what works for me and it simply might not be a good fit for you. But I think it's fun and helpful to compare notes on what we carry. Whether you carry Glock, Sig, Smith and Wesson M&P, Shield Plus, Springfield Hellcat, or a 2011 Bul Armory or Staccato like me... the important thing is that you train regularly and carry ALWAYS.
My edc: bic lighter, geek bar vape, Kershaw conduit, Vietnam era m60 machine gun
Geek bar is essential😂
based
Zero sugar Gatorade.
Jesus Christ… that’s Jason Bourne
The new geek bars are a must
Wallet, phone, keys with small Swiss Army knife, small flashlight, and hand sanitizer. G2 pen and a small piece of paper. Pocket comb.
Most common firearm is a Ruger LCP max in a vedder pocket locker with the slightly extended 12 round mag. Spare mag and pepper spray in pocket carrier in left pocket.
Alternatively a Glock 26 with Pearce grip extension appendix in Tier One.
Home made very small first aid kit in back pocket. Mask, gloves, band aids, sanitizer. Basic Casio g shock.
Lots of LCP Max mentions in the comments! Great setup overall! 👍
@@NightwoodGuns Going small, thus the LCP, small Swiss Army knife, and tiny light.
Ruger LCP .380 loaded with 95gr. FMJ, $20 Kershaw knife I bought at Walmart 5 years ago, RFID metal wallet I paid 9 bucks for at Auto Zone, and my smartphone...
LCP is my favorite pocket-pistol 👍
G-26+2, & a G-15 extra mag. Wifey and I......
Very nice! 👍
I use an Elzetta crenelated flash light in a Megido holster, a zero tolerance onion knife, a completely tricked out Glock 34 with an extended magazine and 5 back up extended magazines.
Glock 34 gang! Nice! 🙌 Ready to rock!
Road to 100K let's goooo! My EDC is minimalistic... I carry a Shield Plus loaded with the Equalizer mag (+1 of course) and the extended mag it comes with in the front pouch of my Ex Umbris fanny pack. In addition to that, I carry a basic foldout knife from Harbor Freight, a lockpick set (the Tuxedo set from Sparrows), a Casio G-Shock solar watch and a lighter. I'll never understand why more non-smokers don't carry lighters.
Because I cannot imagine a situation where I won't find someone with a lighter in public.
@@m4rvinmartian Because you can't imagine a situation where you're not in a public situation.
I have to get back into lock picking. I dabbled back in college but forgot most of it. And adding a lighter to my kit might be a good idea 👀 John McClane needed one after all…
@@NightwoodGuns I went to a YMCA summer camp where I learned archery, riflery (shot my first .22 rifle there in the mid-80's when I was 6 years old lol) and in addition to swimming courses and ropes courses we also learned general tips for the woods like foraging for food and fire building (ie: best ones to build when raining, when it's windy, for heating food/water, etc...). To this day I can still make the meanest lean-to this side of the Mississippi! 😝
@@NightwoodGuns
Step 1: acquire Zippo
Step 2: acquire MP5
Step 3: ???
Step 4: PROFIT!
My EDC: My guns are a Smith and Wesson Shield Plus or my G19 Build with TLR7a. The non gun stuff I carry is a Spyderco Para 3 with AWT Scales and a Lynch Clip, Olight WM3, Garmin Fenix 5s, Custom Leatherman Micra, Olight Mini Pen, Amazon Pouch wallet, and a Rovyvon A2s.
I’ve always liked the Spyderco Para! Nice setup all around 👍
My EDC: Glock 17 gen 5 with SRO & X300 Turbo, Tenicor Malus Sol holster, Surfire Stilleto Pro, Spydero Para 3, wallet, keys, Snakestaff ETQ, and a Citizen Eco Drive Garrison.
Awesome setup there! Cant go wrong with that! 👍
I carry a Sig 365X in a Superstition Concealment holster, a recycled firefighter wallet, keys, a ResQMe tool, the blade varies on the day, cellphone, a Neo Mag for my spare mag, pepper spray, and a travel bottle with ibuprofen, Aleve, allergy meds, and Imodium. I carry a Streamlight Macrostream and love it, if you’re looking for a quality, high lumen light. A good tourniquet option is a Snakestaff Systems ETQ. I honestly forget I carry it. I also have a Blue Alpha Gear EDC belt.
Great setup! 🙌 That Imodium can be a life saver 😂
If I wasn’t already subscribed, I would subscribe due to the pit viper joke. So good!
@@aparker2216 😂👍
In a gear organizer (VIPERADE VE1) I carry a OLIGHT O'Pen Mini, a Belroy for my keys like you, a ThruNite Saber 659, a CRKT Redemption, a write in the rain, a Leatherman Squirt, a Zippo with a butane insert, and mouth spray, attached to the top lanyard loops are my car keyfob and Sabre pepper spray. My other pocket has my phone and minimalist SERMAN BRANDS slim wallet. For gun I am carrying a Sig P365 with Mcarbo internal upgrades, Holosun HS507K-X2 2 mounted, and a tlr-6 mounted and sometimes a Beretta PX4 Sub-Compact with LTT upgraded springs and trigger instead.
Solid setup! 😎👍 Just looked up the Viperade, looks nice!
I use a small Eberlestock back-pack for my everyday carry stuff. My gear: Glock 43x with 2 Shield arms 15 round mags. I use Federal 124 gr +P HST’s. I have a full first aid kit with 2 tourniquets among all the other required lifesaving gear (I was an EMT Paramedic for 19 years). I have 2 flashlights, one small Streamlight pencil size light and an Olight Warrior. I carry a Spyderco Para 3. I also carry a whole bunch of other boring everyday stuff (checkbook, pens, ear plugs, and ear buds, glasses, a small magnifying glass, my daily meds, a Nalgene water bottle, my phone, car keys) etc….
Nice! That’s an ideal EDC setup right there 👍
EDC: P320 Xcarry Talo edition w/trijicon RMR or Glock 45 Talo edition direct cut with a aimpoint acro P2, radian ramjet and afterburner, surefire x300 light (on both setups depending on the day/night) tourniquet, benchmade bugout knife, 3A body armor low profile under shirt vest by Spartan armor, fox labs 1.4 pepper spray 2oz can, surefire stiletto pro 1k lumen handheld light. Both carried in a tier 1 axis elite (best holster ever)
Very nice! I agree, the Axis Elite is the best! 😎👍
1 tip on that Viktos bag (I have the same in grey). Add a little mini lanyard as a grab handle to swing it around faster. Think "Vertx" style grab handle type on one of the lower zippers on which ever side you normally pull to swing the bag around. So not only will you have a reference point to pull the bag around but you can unzip it way faster using the same handle. It's the best EDC bag that doesn't scream I have 2A things in here!
Great tip! Thanks! 😎👍
Every day before I walk out the door I ask myself "what if today is the day that I finally get gear checked by Nutnfancy?" If I don't get that A+ after all these years, my life might as well be over.
🤣🤣🤣 The moment I stopped carrying my Leatherman, that became my ultimate fear…
Firearms in rotation - Glock 42, S&W 340 PD and Kimber K6xs
Knife is always my Victorinox Midnight Manager and for the larger one, the Doug Ritter Mini MK1 in M390
340 pd great all the time gun
In addition to a medium or large lock blade knife I carry a SilverTech scaled Victorinox Midnight Manager as my default key ring SAK
How you like thr XS? Did you find the sights more regulated to 130/132 fmj not 158? And what rounds you carrying I've tested 130+P Hydrashok Deep twice they are great
@@DanTheWolfman It's an excellent choice over say the S&W 642. I haven't been doing exact distance testing. I use just Winchester 38 special 130 grain FMJ for the range. The Hornady 38 special 158 grain XTP work well for carry. I've tested them at the range as well and think they are a good fit.
@@raymuccianti9438 Oh those 158s aren't going to expand from a 2" and likely hitting 2" high if 130 gr is on. highly recommend Hydrashok Deep or something in the 125-135 +P JHP range
EDC: G43xmos, Kershaw Emerson CQC-10k, Coast HX5, Cat tourniquet, Kore belt. It’s a budget setup but works great and won’t break the bank.
Honestly a great setup! 👍
that steel bottle will hurt😂 great tip
😅👍
EDC: XMacro comp with eps carry soon to be radian comp XMacro with +3 slr rifle works base plates or Bul Armory Axe C tomahawk 507 comp with Glock oem +2 mag extensions. XMacro in a ANR design holster with tlr7sub and tomahawk with tier 1 concealment axis slim with tlr7a. Either carry civil defense 50gr or underwood 68gr extreme defenders +P .Very minimal hate full pockets lol.
Very solid EDC! I like it! 😎👍
EDC (everything on body): phone, wallet, keys, custom fixed blade made by Alec Steele, chest seals, npa, combat gauze, TMT TQ, spare mag and Fdez Werx x macro.
Great setup! 😎👍
@@NightwoodGuns appreciate it! 🤙🏿
@@iBlackForce_NRG Love to see the medical and the Fdez is sweet 👍
100k on the way! Im currently putting 507 comp on my walther for edc. Been running Tier 1 holsters since 2019 because i run full-size firearms and they are BEST IMO
Very nice! 507 Comp goes on everything now and you know I love T1C 😎👍
I carry a smith and wesson 686 plus 4 inch in a desantis thumb break holster and two speed beez speedloaders. I'm only 23 but I'm a boomer at heart lol love polymer guns but 1911s and revolvers have my heart. for a knife I carry a Buck 112 ranger custom.
Very nice! Rock that wheelgun with pride! 😎👍
Just found your channel from your MC9 review (which i’m glad i found) & wanted to say 1) thank you for making the content you do and 2) just a suggestion, but if you’re able to get thumbnail pictures at the range i think many people (including myself) would find that more attractive than the blue backing you use now
@@bradenbackes9272 Right on, welcome to the channel! And thanks for the thumbnail feedback! I used to grab thumbnails at the range, but the blue-backed ones performed way better. I think I just need to find the right angle out at the range because they always performed abysmally in the past for some reason. I’m just one dude with zero guidance so trial and error is the name of the game for me. I’ll grab some out at the range for a couple upcoming vids and we’ll see how they do 😎👍
My edc: 3.5 magnum sized rubbers( in order to spread confusion), sat phone, scar 17 and pocket sand.
No shark repellant spray?
@@handroids1981 only when traveling in the woods
@@roccilamantia1344 Of course! The sharks there will never expect it!
@@handroids1981 keeps the woods sharks busy while I look for preps ( shrooms and old pairs of boots).
@@roccilamantia1344 Normal shrooms or funny shrooms? What are the boots for? Sharks don't have foots.
Brett excellent choices but I have to deduct a point or 2 for failing to carry a Swiss Army knife
Why not deduct points for not carrying an entire tool box?
If you don't have to take things apart, a SAK is just heavy junk.
I used to carry one and then switched to a leatherman. After using both very rarely. I just keep them in my car to loosen my load.
At first I lol’d at the water bottle, but that’s actually some solid logic! Especially given the circumstances.
😂👍
Just recently switched from Glock 26 to Springfield hellcat. I carry that in a crossbreed hybrid holster, with an extra large capacity mag on the discontinued Cabela’s double stack belt, an ostrich skin wallet, handkerchief, citizen bio-drive or Casio G-shock watch, spyderco or benchmade folder, fenix pd light, leather man styles cs mini multi tool or SAK classic on my keychain, IPhone 13 mini (though I may switch back to galaxy next upgrade), and Oakley sunglasses or Rayban eye glasses when not wearing contact lenses.
Great setup! 😎👍
EDC: Langdon Tactical Berretta PX4, Olight with reversible clip, the knife I got from my NRA subscription.
Admit it Brett... you but the challenge coin in just to troll us.🤣
My EDC: G19 or G43x, Streamlight Polytac, POM pepper spray, wallet, blade, phone, keys. Keep it simple lol
The coin legit triggers people and I can’t help but troll. 😂
You have that Jedi Master EDC. Very nice 😎👍
@@NightwoodGuns buddy I received second hand cringe when you showed that, so mission accomplished Lol
Thanks though. I spent a lot of time dicking around with various guns and have consistently settled on Glocks. They overall are the best for me.
A serious question though, whats the purpose of a challenge coin anyhow? Lol
@@joshuabracke5775 Half the stuff people hate me for is just me deadpan trolling 😅 It amuses me.
Yep, you have the S-tier EDC. If I wasn’t an absolute nerd it’s exactly what I would be carrying.
The purpose of a shooting drill challenge coin is just for fun. The purpose and history of LE/MIL challenge coins is a totally different thing and worth looking into. I have family ties to Secret Service members so I have a huge collection of USSS coins 👍
If you haven’t tried the Three Sevens Drill yet I definitely recommend it. Theres a reason the coin triggers everyone 😅
I’m gonna be all over that water bottle idea. Brilliant!
😎👍
Ordered the micro tech knife in tan. Expensive knife at 300 bucks, but I've always heard great things about micro tech, so after watching your video I purchased one. Thanks for your information and knowledge.
Very nice! It’s my current fav! Enjoy! 👍
Knife came in the other day. All I can say is Wow. This thing is amazing, well worth the money. Great quality. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@benhumpin right on! I’m glad you like it! 😎👍 Congrats!
Trayvax wallet ,iPhone 14, Apple Watch, Olight 3T EOS, and Canik tp9 elite sc in a Hilliker holster.
Nice! That’ll get the job done! 👍
Took me a little, but really like your content. I’m a pistol guy strictly for some reason so your stuff is good.
M&P compact in a Txc x1 pro holster, skeletool, nitecore edc25, ridge, iPhone
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying. 👍 Pistols are definitely my favorite, too. Nice EDC setup btw. Always love an M&P 😎
Springfield hellcat, fenix pd32, exo tac nano striker, spyderco native salt, rat tourniquet, bandana, old Leatherman juice
Very nice! Fenix and Leatherman juice were both once a part of my EDC 👍 Great choices all around!
Beretta 84BB
Leatherman Skeletool
Surefire Stilleto
Pilot Pen
84BB for EDC? That’s awesome! 👍
Love the Cheetah.....mine is more of a safe queen, awesome pistol though.
keys, wallet, phone and M&P Shield plus w/ black arch holster
Congrats on 100k man.
Well deserved. Keep it up 👍
Thanks man! Exciting stuff! 😎👍
i know its been a while but
in general i carry CR920 with 2 extra mags (one in a neo extended mag next to the gun and another one in the pocket) in a tulster holster when working or a MR920 in the teir1 axis elite when im roaming on days off.
carry a Spyderco Sage with the compression lock in Maxamet while working or a Spyderco lil' native while off.
honestly i really like these semi stainless steels over the m390. (maybe its cause i sharpened it on a too high grit of a stone (5000grit finish for the Benchmade 535BK-4 Bugout)
ive been using a groove life belt, interestingly it works well but i do also use a kore belt.
In my fieldcraft bag i carry my keys, a bottle of KPL dry film (lube), short type c cable, axil xp reactor, asus earphones.
I should get better at getting more medical stuff in my bag.
Nice setup! I really need to get another Shadow Systems. Maybe the CR920X when they release a comped version (and iron out any issues 😅)
It took me a long time to start carrying medical, but I’m glad I started 👍
While it might chap the hide of some folks, I carry an LCP Max the most, strong side IWB. It's a small, easy carry, that I think is easier to shoot than a LCP/LCP2. I can carry it during leg day at the gym, without it bothering me, while doing squats. Otherwise only odd thing I carry, compared to most, is one of those nail clipper/file/knife/tweezer tools. I have an odd fingernail, due to a high school accident, so it's nice to have.
Hey, as long as you vet it for reliability with you carry ammo, no judgment here! 😎👍 (I also have a messed up nail, lol)
The waterbottle idea is very smart!
👍
Got that black triangle in the mail today. Awesome. Thanks for the suggestion.
Right on! Welcome to the club! 😅👍
Love the water bottle idea!!! I need to step up my game.
😂👍
I don’t remember the name of everything but here goes.
Sig P229C SAS, .357 Sig in 1791 holster, cross draw using multiple Kore belts.
Ridge wallet with AirTag.
Ridge key holder, both the wallet and key holder in base camp orange.
Olight flat light, again orange
Bench made mini bug out, yep in orange
Zippo brass lighter with butane insert so the fluid doesn’t evaporate over time.
I think that’s the bulk of it.
229C? That’s a rare bird nowadays. Very cool!
@@NightwoodGuns yep 229C “SAS”, my understanding they only made them a couple of years and I paid more than I’m used to but it tames the .357 Sig well.
@@danaoneal1 Definitely worth it! 😎👍
Gst9 compact with a brownells slide dpm kit and ported barrel, 407c and x300Ta with qvo thumbcliff. It’s in a qvo discreet holster with a g code mag carrier and i carry a 19x mag for a spare. I’m a weirdo with the rest of my edc. I carry a leatherman signal and a pair of small knipex channel locks, an ultra fine sharpie and a regular ball point and pocket notepad all in one pocket. I use a streamlight stylus pro for normal tasks. I’m using the agonic edb and I love it. I can carry my holster with the clips on each side of the buckle right in the front on the placard that goes behind the main belt. I wear carhart double front pants with the soft knee pads in them all the time because at work I’m on my knees a lot and any other time I’m out if I have to get on my knees those pads are super nice to have to keep gravel and sticks from poking me
Very nice! Sounds like you tailor-made the perfect EDC for your lifestyle! 😎
@@NightwoodGuns it’s ever changing. I am constantly experimenting with new stuff
@@seanduncan33 I think that’s a good thing! Always adapting and evolving 👍
@@NightwoodGuns I’ll be trying the pmm duty comp soon. If it stays tight on my barrel then I’ll probably get their ultra comp and barrel. Agency has me shying away from comps because the 417 I have won’t stay tight like we talked about before. Pmm uses shims to time their comps instead of set screws and they supposedly stay tight
@@seanduncan33 The PMM comps I’ve had have all stayed tight 👍
Walther PDP Match SF (Holosun 507Comp, TLR1-HL, ZRTS Long Stroke Guide rod.
3 knives. (Fixed blade kunai style Amazon special 😂, Kershaw flip knife, and a box cutter)
1 Japanese gel pen
Casio G-Shock (the same one you have but I have the limited blue paisley version) or any Casio watch
Wallet and keys.
3 rings when I’m traveling and can’t have a gun or knife. 😂 Big rings btw
Such a dope setup 😎🤙 Would love to see you put someone down with those rings 😂
Very cool. Also, I award you 5 Nutnfancy credits for the fantastic jimping talk 😂
2 points deducted for not talking about philosophy of use and 3 points deducted for not hitting at least 40 minutes with the video. So I guess I break even. 😅
My every day is a Tale of Knives mini bandit Goblin green with 2022 SAK pioneer X and Grey Cerakote space pen, 3 cards holder. S&W 342 PD. Alterations Limited Carrier Belt. Keys and Typsim 200m watch. Streamlight Pro-tac 1L. On body.
I also keep a Patagonia Atom 8L sling bag with a Glock 17 gen2 standard mag with a Raven Concealment Vanguard for ease of handling and can clip on to my belt if I need to.
3 each 33rd Glock mags in glove box that Gives me over 100 rounds of 9mm on tap in a full size handgun and with a low level life style I feel that negates the need to have a rifle or AR pistol in my vehicle.
Yeti Rambler 36oz and Ray Ban Polarized Wayfarers matte black
Very nice! One of the best features of Glock is accessibility to affordable and reliable 33rd mags 👍
@@NightwoodGuns much appreciated! Lots of thoughts and trial and error with this set up. I do have a hill people gear waist pack in my center console with medical equipment in there chest seals and tourniquets too
@@luciusmirkwood1634 Perfect 👍
Thanks for the video! Need to add medical to my edc thanks for the reminder.
A stop the bleed class and some basic medical is always a great addition 👍
Where’s your XC? 13:01 Bul Armory? You sold your XC? To be honest I fell in love with a MPA DS9, so I think Staccato is sort of like a Lexus, while these other 2011s are like Acura, BMW, Shelby Cobra etc. 😊
Nope, still have the XC and love it! And it’s still my favorite pistol. I just like the Bul better for daily carry right now 👍 Good 2011 analogy, btw 😂
EdC: CR920P / W extra 13 round magazine
Tenicor holster,Tenicor belt
D3 LIGHT by Haley Strategic
Kershaw knife
I love the D3 light! 😎👍 How’s your CR920P holding up? My buddy who has one had major cycling issues.
Louie Viton, hoydie toydie.
I use a wide rubber band and wrote Versace on it. 🤣
Also, just ordered the groove life ring and another belt. Have one belt from them and love it.
Very nice! 😎👍
The Bellroy is underrated! I carry an Orbitkey now but I loved my Bellroy while I had it
The Bellroy was a game changer for me 😅👍
Dope video! You gotta really be a gun guy to carry a full size 2011 with an x300. I tried carrying my 19 with an x300 and went about 2 days before swapping back to the TLR7. Nice carry, keep it up!
For sure, you have to be all-in 😂👍
The holster is not for the BUL right? T1 doesn't do BULs with WML, what is the holster originally for?
Staccato XC w/ X300 but I suspect other Staccato holsters would also likely work 👍
@@NightwoodGuns Thanks!
@@MichTATEJIb Mag carrier is a little tight, but I just loosen the retention a bit 😎👍
For the axis holster I see you used the staccato xc holster for the tac 4.25 to have the light. On t1 website there’s three options for the xc holster
•pre 2020
•after 2020
•and double stack 1911
Which option did you chose for it to fit your tac 4.25 and does your new edc pro fit in the same holster?
I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know because nobody seems to sell bul holsters
Yep, the edc fits the same one. It’s “after 2020” and you will likely have to loosen the retention in the mag carrier and break it in a bit. But now mine is perfect 😎👍
Can you review the Dan Wesson DWX?
If I can get my hands on one for review. Tried one at SHOT and loved it 👍
@@NightwoodGuns awesome, would love a comparison of a full size DWX vs Bul
Pointing out the thing that is never mentioned about Hunter Constantine belt. It is *only* for appendix carry. It just doesn't work for hip carry. I have never seen a single person recommend the Hunter Constantine belt and include this rather important tidbit of information. It seems appendix carriers truly can't imagine that there is any other way to carry.
There is another way to carry?
Watch my review again 😉 People actually gave me crap in the comments for saying it was mainly for appendix carry claiming it would absolutely work for hip carry 😅
Awesome video….. iam also thinking about picking up a Bul Armory but not a fan of the one year warranty. Hopefully they change that to lifetime warranty
It’s the one thing I’m not a fan of, too. Would love to see them change it 👍 Luckily I’ve never had an issue.
Glock 48 MOS EPS Carry and TLR7 sub with Monsoon welders flash stipple and chunk port, T1C axis elite with s15 mags, surefire stiletto pro, leatherman skeletool, wallet and keys.
SS MR920 with arc division compensator in an axis elite holster with an extra mag, Streamlight micro stream light, kore essential leather belt or marsupial gear stretch belt (better on the back).
Very nice! Arc comp working well for you?
@@NightwoodGuns yes, I changed the recoil spring to 15 pounds and it runs perfectly. Shadow systems guide rods allow very easy exchange of the spring. The gun is just unfortunately somewhat long, but shoots very smooth.
@@a.juarez9770 Right on! 👍
Any chance you could weigh the fully loaded holster? Morbid curiosity
4 lbs 👀 I was also curious 😂
Winchester SXT 9mm 127gr +P+ some great points on the vid. Always enjoy your work.
Decent ammo selection 👍 Glad you enjoyed the video.
My EDC: 3" Ruger LCRX 38 Special with 2 speed loaders in a belly band. 4 other carry guns but this is my favorite.
Good stuff! Have you ever considered or actually tried the Antimatter Industries Wing or the QVO Tactical Thumb Cliff? If yes, any reasons why you don't use for EDC as it seems it would give a slight advantage?
507 Comp, eh? Thought you preferred the window vertical height and red dot size of the SRO? Durability and/or optic overhang make you lean toward the Comp?
Also, a hypothetical if you dont mind: if you had a compensated striker gun and were 5% or 10% faster at a firing drill with the same group size as your EDC Bul, would you still take the Bul simply out of personal preference from all your years with 1911s/2011s?
Great comment! I don’t run the WML thumb ledges because I don’t shoot with my support hand cranked that far forward. It’s a bit of a reach for me. I prefer actual open gun gas pedals that are frame-mounted since I can get more natural leverage on it. While the QVO or Antimatter might work for others, I garner zero benefit from them. It’s a YMMV product.
And yeah, I’m all-in on the 507 Comp now. I’ll be doing an update video. Overhang was definitely a reason. But after running thousands of rounds through it… I found myself just preferring it all around to the SRO 🤷♂️ I’m always open to changing my mind 😂
Concerning your hypothetical, I would 100% carry the striker gun in that situation.
Much appreciated as always 🤙👍
@@saintmichael753 😎👍
My EDC: iPhone SE; leather wallet from Sears I think; chapstick; hanky; Petrified Fish pocket knife (awesome!); Glock 48 with Shield Arms 15-rnd mag and Holosun 507K; truck keys. That’s it. I hate carrying stuff in my pockets. I even carry my keys on a clip that I can attached to a belt loop. Even the chapstick annoys me sometimes, but not so much that it overrides my need for moist, supple lips. A great non-permissive enviro tool is a length of para-cord and a large, heavy washer or nut. They are innocuous and TSA-safe, but tie the cord to the washer or nut and you have a devastating swinging mace.
EDC 43x, gx4, cheap spring knife, extra mag. Slim clip, keys, chapstick and a pen.
How do you carry a full size like that, I'd love to carry there and that.
Nice simple setup! 😎👍 Good holster, belt, and being in good shape helps with carrying full size.
I carry at canik mete sfx 20 + 1 with a spare 20rd mag in a can can concealment shebang belt. An amazon chest pack holding a multitool, anker powerbank with a couple cords, tylenol, a lighter, a beard comb, bose wireless headphones, and 2 fidget toys lol. I have to get a mini med-kit (and learn how to use it), and a small tac-light. I will get either a springfield xdm elite 3.8 10mm or sig p365 x macro to put in the chest pack as well, and the hunter Constantine belt.
Nice! That oughta do it! 😎👍
My edc is the sig P365x
Very nice! Great choice! 👍
Thanks for the research and best-of-class tips regarding flashlights, pepper spray, knives, belts, holsters and identity protection.
😎👍
Jesus idk how y’all have all that in your pocket all day, I got my wallet. Keys, AirPods, Microtech And a Glock 19 in the we the people holster for now. Minimal Gun channel coming soon ✌🏾
Very nice! 👍 Great minimalist setup!
Awesome video, as always!
I carry a 365 with the FDEZ comp’d slide and barrel combo and a Mischief Machine XXL grip module. TLR7sub for the light. Knife is a Winterblade Factor, light is… something from Wurkkos, I can’t remember. I definitely sacrifice durability for performance on my lights, but they cost like $30 so I just have a bunch of them.
I’d recommend looking at the flashlight subreddit, if you ever get the hankering for lights. Much cheaper lights with way more performance than really any of the tactical light companies.
Awesome EDC, man! I could definitely dive deeper in the the flashlight world 😅
Nice, at work but I’ll let it play and watch later, gotta get that view/comment bump up!
You’re a real one! 😂🙏
You carry my dream pistol. I want the Bul SAS Tac II 4.25” so sooooo so bad 😭 great video! 🤘
😅👍
I carry a p365 with an XL grip module in a t rex arms sidecar with spare mag. Running the new macro 17 round mags in it too which is nice. Little basic pocket knife too.
Sig Xmacro appendix carry, knife(civivi or spyderco) and flashlight in my pocket,in my satchel/bag I have 2 extra mags, another knife, tourniquet, some simple medical, lighter, handcuff key and a cpl other things I can’t remember at the moment lol. In my car I have a chest rig and small plate carrier both of which live in a bag, in my hatch I have a bigger bag in case of emergency type stuff or get home bag, full med kit. Ridge wallet, iPhone and watch .warrior poet ratchet style belt. I know theirs more but you get the point, I’m prepared for the most part.
Sounds like you are ready for anything! Nice setup! 😎
Phone, wallet, keys, and pistol. I have 3 in my carry rotation. One is a stock Hellcat Pro. One is a G2C with Truglo night sights and a Keep Tinkering SAO short stroke trigger. Last but not least is a Tisas PX9 Carry also with Truglo night sights.
I like the Hunter Constantine belt a lot better. I got it from your recommendation. For a gun I carry a PDP compact with a TLR7 in a sidecar-style holster from Slimfit Holsters.
Yep, the HC Belt is incredible 👍
My EDC ; Seiko 5 GMT, even though I don't travel outside of my timezone, POM OC, Cold Steel boot dagger, Streamlight Protac, M&P 2.0 full size with Holosun 508T, it the Preformance Center Ported, so I'll look cool on CCTV, spare 23 round magazine, 3 M67's, and 1 WP.... leave no evidence.....and more important my Victornox Tinker, gotta have that tooth pick. I carry a different handgun for work plus an IFAK. I also have a plate carrier and Steyr AUG on hand. I chose the AUG because it's cool..... actually it was because it was on sale and sinces it's compact and fits into a roller luggage case. I'm old an don't want to juggle a rifle case, lunch bag, and an armor from the car to the offoce.
Looking cool on CCTV is my main motivation 🤣 Seriously, that’s hilarious man. Thanks for the laugh 👍 Super dope that you are rocking an AUG as well! Great setup all around!
Add a Hemsut band to that watch. Thank me later.
Thanks for the tip 👍
There’s only a handful of guntubers I trust to run things hard, and Brett is one of them 😎
No punches pulled here! 👍
Anyone who deserves 100k subs (and really more) it’s you my friend!
My EDC is: Ridge wallet, iPhone, Apple Watch (yuck, but watches are expensive), my single truck key (the rest are on a keychain in my bag) p365xl with a spare 15 round mag in a McKinatec Holster, held on by usually a Grip6 belt, Steamlight protac 2L-X, Civivi Praxis knife, and just a rando backpack with always the Holy Bible (HCSB study Bible) some papers, whatever other random book I’m reading, and a light jacket (since I work at night in a hospital that can get freezing) and also a Celsius for energy at 3 in the morning lol.
Thanks man. It’s been a journey! 😅 Nice EDC setup, btw! Still liking the McKinatec holster?
@@NightwoodGuns it’s def has held up, but I am starting to see the need for improvements. Comparing it to the likes of a tier 1 or a trex arms holster, it definitely could benefit from a better claw like the tier one to aid in pressing the grip of the pistol to the body, and an additional claw on the mag side. Adjustability on the clips would be nice too. It’s definitely kept up though. Whenever I take the plunge to full size carry I’ll be definitely investing in either tier 1 or Trex arms. Nothing against McKinatec.
@@Taegashi Right on! Thanks for the mini-review! 😎👍
Fantastic knife fight scene in Resident Evil. 👍
You know what’s good! 😅👍
Great tips man. I’ll be implementing a few. Thanks!
😎👍
S&W shield plus with extended mag 945 chest rig
Nice! The good ol’ 945!
it’s not a true edc video unless your hat has a rollercoaster curve and oakley sunglasses w a goatee
🤣🤣🤣
Belt and buckle can be used as a defensive tool
Great point, I wish I would have mentioned that because that was my go-to before the water bottle. Belt is actually nastier. 👍
I carry a shadow systems mr920 with a slitely modified trex arms side car holster, benchmade socp mini,2 19x mags with hornady CD. BT bone breaker with my keys. Phone and wallet.
Nice! I carried a socp for years, it’s a great poker! Great setup overall 👍
@@NightwoodGuns thank you very much.
@@jorgeponce2482 😎👍
Just ordered that awesome item suggested at the end of this video. Can't wait to check it out.
Usp45 with a m2 utl (for the mgs2 vibes) in a side car.
Such a dope setup! Love the USP and MGS2 vibe!
Interesting setup.
Here is what I carry on my person besides the large self defense tool.
Duluth Trading Bison leather trifold wallet. Small wallets don't work for me because I have half a dozen must carry cards before I get to credit and bank cards
Casio Pro Trek digital tough solar. Give me a topo map, compass and altimeter and I can navigate by DR to within a couple of 100 yards where I need to be.
Sonim ruggedized cellphone. Almost indestructable.
Pepper Spray.
Small first aid kit including bandaids, antibiotic cream, and antihistamines and analgesics. Have a full first aid kit in my backpack in tbe vehicle.
An O-Light warrior Nano.
A multitool of some sort depending on where I am going. I use the knife on the multitool. I am not a martial arts expert so using a knife for self defense is not a wise move. Besides I am bringing a gun to a knife fight. I can't see a situation where I can get to a knife faster than getting the gun.
I do not carry a WML outside the house. Armed citizen ROEs make it impractical. You can't draw your pistol unless you have already identified a qualifying threat and if you can do that you don't the light.
Agree on the HSTs but I use standard pressure.
I have tried a few optics but the Holosun is the way I go.
No tacticool challenge coin for me but I did used to rock a community badge.
Very nice! You are ready for the end of the world! 😎👍
You recommend a leather CCW belt in one of your previous videos that you wore on your wedding, but I can’t remember the brand.
It was a Galco 👍 KORE also makes a ratcheting leather belt.
Congrats on 100k and again thanks for all your great info! I now edc a Bul Armory SAS 2 TAC 4.25. I usually go with tier 1 axis elite for my go to holster, but noticed they only have the option for the SAS 2 TAC Commander 4.25 which has no weapon light option. Just wondering what axis elite model you went with? For now just using their MSP holster with the TLR-1 option - gets the job done but would prefer the axis elite to conceal better.
I asked this same question.
The Staccato P 4.25" in the AXIS Elite line will work with the BUL Armory 4.25". This seems to be the _only_ option for the BUL Armory pistols if you wish to include a weapon light.
I have pestered T1C relentlessly for this upgrade but they could care less. Good luck, Robert.
Stay classy my friend.
@@BertShackleford thank you for the info sir!! I ended up going with a T1C axis elite for the staccato xc with the surefire x300ub - fits nicely 👌🏻 I have also reached out to T1C about creating more molds for Bul Armory’s SAS TAC line, but so far no luck lol. Oh well!
Keep on keeping on sir!
Curious what martial arts you do ? I’m 40 and started bjj about a year ago .
Nice! Bjj is definitely the popular one nowadays 😎👍 I did Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, and some wrestling.
CZ P-01 with Holosun EPS Carry and Olight PL mini 2
Get the olight off it and that’s a great set up
@@jcoxy1057 I've had that light on for 4 years with zero issue. Through classes and carried everyday. To each their own though I guess.
I love the P-01! Great choice! 😎👍
My EDC: RMW minimalist wallet, simple Kershaw spring assist, aquaphor chapstick, dude wipe single, swiss army knife, car key, ON! Pouches, groove life belt, and I KNOW I'M GONNA GET SHIT FOR THIS, but I carry a Walther PPKs in a We the People holster. Looking to upgrade but I'm a comfort kind of creature. Any suggestions would be appreciated 💯
Do you find it difficult to sharpen your Microtech’s blade? What do you use for that?
I send it in to Microtech for a spa day when it needs it. Holds an edge forever though. But this is my favorite sharpener: amzn.to/3KsPa2h
Hey, yeah I really dig that Work Sharp Precision too. I thought it’d be tricky with that curved blade though.
I don’t trust myself with their belt sharpeners. Lol
@@uchis2k Yep, I carried a Microtech Brachial before the Amphibian and definitely just sent it to Microtech 😅
How do you carry if going into water?
Great question! Waterproof fanny pack. Booe and Watershed make good options 👍
How do you have your holster clips set as far as height? We have a similar body type, and I carry a G19. The conceal is decent but yours looks better, and I think your gun is larger.
Very good video nice edc set up for my it changes from summer to winter other then the light always got that Streamlight rechargeable pin light on me belt is either a snap on tool or nexbelt and knife is s&w 2.0 for holster we the people holster or cross breed holster for pew, pew, g43x with psa 15 round mags or sig 365x with sig 17 round mags for summer for winter it’s either a bull TROPHY 5” 1911 with Wilson combat 10 round mags or Tanfoglio TZ-75 series 88 with 17 rounds Tanfoglio mags
Very nice! Some excellent pistol options there! 😎
@@NightwoodGuns thank you the 365x may get replaced if I can ever get my hands on the bull Sas ll ultralight
