Kimber Pro Covert II .45acp in a Milt Sparks Summer Special II IWB. I use Wilson Combat ETM 8 round magazines, I carry a spare 8 rounder in a Galco single leather mag carrier. That's pretty much it.

Sometimes I carry a Surefire or a pocket knife but not as part of my CCW load out, just because I might be using them that day.
 
Taurus 856 (the 6-shot M85) with CT grips in a pocket, OWB holster, manpurse (I wear mine looped under one arm, kinda like a makeshift shoulder holster); depends on the occasion.
2 Bianchi speedstrips with Remington SJHP.
Just retired my Buck Assisted opener for a Gerber F.A.S.T. Draw. Looks like a nice knife, have to see if it handles the abuse though.

Then there's always the 92fs for those late night trips to wallyworld..
 
Winter: Sig 229 in a Kirkpatrick Leather custom holster, one extra reload. Surefire Z2 in the truck
Summer: Ruger SP101 in .357 IWB with 10 extra rounds in my pocket.

I travel light.
 
What is your CCW loadout?
Just curious mainly from the thread in here where the guy would need a tacticool wheel barrel to carry his daily loadout. What is yall's daily loadout? Does it change from daytime to night? Does it change with the weather? Are you guys crazy and carry an arsenal of guns and knives on your person?

Yep, sometimes it seems as though there's a group of folks who choose to carry more weapons and ammunition on their persons than I carried on-duty throughout my career in LE.

I do find these sorts of threads interesting and entertaining upon occasion, though.

Me?

I started carrying somewhat smaller & lighter weapons on my own time during the last several years of my career, but the only those with which I did a respectable amount of training & practice and could shoot well. My baseline calibers were (and remain) .38 S&W Spl for revolvers and 9mm for pistols, although I also have a fair collection of 'working guns' chambered in larger & more powerful calibers which still see occasional retirement CCW usage (and which still see a lot of training & practice time since I remained active to a degree as an instructor and armorer).

My most common retirement CCW weapon remains one or another S&W J-frame. Usually I carry 2-4 speedstrips or 2-3 speedloaders, depending on my activities and clothing preferences. If I choose to carry one of my pistols I'll usually carry 1 spare magazine, or sometimes maybe 2 spares. Again, it depends on my planned activities, as well as where I plan to be while involved in my activities. (FWIW, the mag capacities of my most commonly chosen pistols range from 6, 7, 8, 9 to 10 rounds.)

I do tend to place more emphasis on the other things I carry to help me deal with the challenges and tasks which can come along in everyday life, meaning the things other than guns which are generally much more necessary & useful. ;)

The ability to see in reduced light conditions, make minor repairs and cut things that need cutting ... which can include cutting or punching & lighting my cigars ... can be downright handy.

Having the wherewithal to remain in contact with family or emergency services has been very useful while tooling around on the back roads on my motorcycles, too. Having the foresight to carry basic essentials relevant to anticipated circumstances that might be encountered, and which can be carried in my bike's saddle bags and my vehicles, has proven somewhat prudent, too.

Remember when it wasn't uncommon in days gone by to see folks carrying spare tires, blankets, shovels & misc tools, canvas water bags and a gas can when making trips across a desert? (I'm thinking So Cal, but it applied to other areas in the country, as well.) Breakdowns and emergencies could become fairly hazardous for those unprepared to deal with them.

Life is a journey. ;)

I still carry various things which can be handy when it comes to dealing with some of life's unexpected situations, and I raised my children to think ahead and make some simple common sense preparations against predictable circumstances that can be anywhere from inconvenient to downright dangerous, especially if you're unprepared (mentally, physically & equipment-wise).

seriously guys the responces of "do a search" or any form of "i dont post what i carry" need not apply here or anywhere if you dont have an answer or choose not to answer dont bother posting take it down the road to another forum that tolerates ignorance because thats not THR around here we help and support each other

ONE post with a pic? COME ON !!! you guys made me grab my camera and snap one out of pity...not much of one for "gun porn" but here are some of my daily toys...they kinda match now....which oddly makes me happy...my wife kinda likes it to.

Nothing exciting...or internet/gun-chic I guess...plain ole XD9 stainless, Spyderco Tenacious ($35 or not I LOVE this knife!) NAA with G10 grips from Ebay (did require fitting...pocketclip came off...doesn't work well IMHO) watch is an exciting $10 walmart purchase on a $20 band...and oddly it works perfectly...unlike the last 3 expensive watches I've owned!-LOL) any my new replacement razor...cause I'm not learning a new phome till I get an I-phone...and my carrier just got the contract for them from AT&T so hopefully there is a case that matches for that-LOL! Wife and I both shoot XD9's...they work great...may add a .45 or maybe a XDM in .40 next...think the XDM in .40 could be a fun pin and plate killer at the range...carry wise we are married to this particular choice (XD9) family-wide (the only thing everyone seems to agree on besides Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce! ;).

No backup gun as they are not allowed in my state and I probably wouldn't carry one if I could.

What? How is that?

My usual loadout is a Taurus 709 an extra mag, folding knife, cellphone, wallet. Sometimes I carry my lcp+mag just for convenience. I carry a glock 19 OWB with extra mag if I am going into a more, shall we say "troubled" area. I prefer single stack guns for IWB, they are twice as comfortable! For IWB carry I usually use a Black Hawk IWB clip holster, blackhawk pocket holster for the lcp and nemesis pocket mag holster for all extra magazines. I find the soft material of the blackhawk pocket holster to be much more comfortable than the desantis nemesis rhino hide. I wish they made a pocket mag holster. I used to carry a tactical light, but gave it up when I found a key chain led light that was super bright. My key chain is also not complete without its mini swiss army knife.

I usually leave my tactical chapstick in the car.
 
I have a bunch to choose from.....but my usual is S&W Chief's Special, in Nemesis pocket holster, Surefire G2Z light with 250 lumen LED drop in....Spyderco Delica and sometimes another fixed blade knife....oh yeah.....and at least 2 speed strips.
 
Glock 22 or Beretta 92fs in a shoulder holster with 2 extra mags, Cold Steel voyager XL Tanto 5" folder, Buck 482 folder with 2.75" blade, Leatherman Core multi-tool, Zippo lighter (I don't smoke, I just never know when I'll need it), watch, wallet, cell phone. That's my EDC gear.
