This pocket dump comes from Ryan in Ohio who lists his profession as law enforcement officer. It includes a Springfield XD-S, a CRKT multi-tool, and a variety of electronics.

I really don’t care much about bump stocks. Well actually, I do and here’s why. What I really care about is the protection of constitutional liberty and the ownership of personal property. Bump stocks are just the item du jour being targeted. As many of our readers know; I own one as a range toy. […]

A reader who goes by the handle “Mr. Crabs” sent in this pocket dump with the accompanying explanation: “Because I feel strongly that one can be absolutely dapper and well armed, there’s this combination. It’s for those times when I’m dressed above the level of uniform or “shoot-me-first” pants and a concealment shirt. I didn’t […]

While I was at Academy Sports grabbing some ammo, I noticed the Real Avid Bore Boss hanging on the shelf. Bore cleaning ropes like Hoppe’s more famous BoreSnake are simple, quick and effective ways of cleaning your barrel. What really makes The Real Avid Bore Boss stand out is its packaging. The cleaning rope wraps […]

Today’s EDC isn’t a pocket dump, it’s a carry shot. The gun owner who submitted this resides in Florida and states the pictured gun is a Wilson Combat Protector Professional, although he must have replaced the grip panels. He also has a spare magazine and a fixed blade. Who else here carries on the daily […]

Quick show of hands…how many of you own a Ruger 10/22? Wait, maybe it’d be easier to ask how many of you don’t own a 10/22. There’s a good reason that it’s the most-owned .22LR rifle in, well, the universe. It’s simple, reliable, fun, easy to shoot, and infinitely adaptable. Ruger offers dozens of variations […]

Today’s pocket dump comes from J.C. Leonard who says “I get asked what my local out & about carry normally consist of. This is my local around town near town carry when I’m out of the house. Of course I may have an ink pen a note book and a couple little things extra on […]

A Ruger LCP is the firearms portion of this EDC. John from South Carolina also has a Kershaw folding knife, a Gerber Crucial multi-tool, and a Nitecore light. Instead of debating the merits of .380 ACP as a main carry – because we’ve totally beaten that one to death – how about letting us know […]

Building an AR-15 might seem like a daunting task at first but in reality it’s a simple process – as long as you follow the steps and use the right tools. Tools are a definite issue; channel locks and a finishing nail are not what you need for the job (yes, I’m looking at you). […]

Michael in Florida sent in this pocket dump which includes a SIG Legion P226 and a Reate Kirby Lambert Crossroads knife. The Legion P226 is chambered in 9mm and is a DA/SA pistol. Do you carry a DA/SA? Do you see it as a safety measure or do you simply prefer double-action triggers?

What is this Tannerite stuff that people keep talking about? Aren’t explosive substances illegal or something? For starters, Tannerite is a brand of exploding target. You shoot it and it goes boom. You can see the obvious appeal. Oh, and before we have to say it elsewhere… we aren’t lawyers, there is no legal advice […]

This pocket dump comes to us from Jeff in Texas. His daily carry includes a GLOCK 17 and a Victorinox Swiss Champ Pocket Knife. It also includes ear buds, something I’ve been seeing with increasing frequency. Question: do you guys wear ear buds while you’re out and about? Both buds in or do you leave […]

This pocket dump includes a Ruger LCP and a blade. Given the recent .380 ACP debate I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on using one as your main carry. And if you do carry one, is it only for non-permissive environments or is it your daily carry?

Yes, there’s a GLOCK 17 and a Spyderco knife in this EDC. More interestingly there is also a 26-inch telescopic “self-defense stick” in there as well. Now, American president Andrew Jackson did once beat the crap out of a would-be assassin with his cane which is an awesome piece of history but…still. Who here carries […]

This makes the first GLOCK 19X carry I’ve seen. It comes from John in Tennessee who says he’s a school counselor (he also said he recently updated his EDC). He has both a weapon-mounted Olight and a handheld Olight. Nice to see both rather than only one or the other. Any other 19X carriers out there?

A GLOCK 19 with an Inforce APLc weapon-mounted light is the focal point of this pocket dump. Lights are a bit of a hot debate topic when it comes to weapon-mounted versus handheld, so, what do you think?

I like FN. I do not like the FN SCAR. But I like the FN SCAR 20S. A lot. People are complex that way. The FN SCAR 20S is the latest in a long and fabled line of battle rifles. FN can rightly call themselves “The World’s Most Battle Proven Firearms.” It was only a […]

This one comes from a guy giving his name using a Latin phrase – nonquam non paratus – which roughly translates to “never unprepared.” He says, “I had a request for a photo of the holster I carry my Glock 19 / INFORCE APLc combo in. But I thought that would be boring by itself… […]
