What Side Arm Do You Carry??


I started out with the swiss army but went to the gerber multi -tool. I have a couple of models and have one for dress. I would carry 2 if I could get the right combination. i'm getting to the point where I need a magnifing glass and a light so I'll have to see what is out there. I pretty much don't leave the house without a tool on my belt.

Anyone else??

Thought you were talking about guns. For a knife, I carry Gerber folding blades. They have a great blade and stay sharp. The back part is like a saw blade and cuts rope really easy. AFA mutlitools, I have a junky one that I never use so I do not carry it. I am all about the overkill--18v drill to put on an outlet cover.

I thought you meant the piece we carry if we have the license....KelTec 9............I belt up every morning with a Leatherman "Wave" model.....I have carried Leatherman types for years, and this is the current issue I like. I bet I use it 2 or 3 times a day...I don't know how some guys live without them.

I carry a Case mini-copperlock in one pocket and a Ken Onion designed Kershaw clip-on (Shallot or Vapor) in another.

I carry either my Glock 27 or my Glock 22. Both are .40s & I can't decide which I like best so rotate.

Old S&W 469, Erma .25 pocket pistol and a variety of knives. Straight razors can be fun too. I have a small collection from the era when we just played around.

Been a leatherman fan for about 15 years at one of my college jobs (a pinsetter mechanic) when the boss told me what tools I needed, he said you can use all mine with one exception you must get your own leatherman. I've been faithful to the leatherman ever since.

I carry a sog flash II. The speed assisted technology is a true one hand opener. Not automatic like my old switch blade but damn close to it. Also helps to live close to smokey mountain knife works.

If you want to post "ballistics" try a M-79 it will definitely sink your boat.
