Jon’s EDC philosophy is simple: everything must fit comfortably in the pockets of regular jeans. He steers clear of cargo pants, preferring a more streamlined approach. His choices are driven by practicality and ease of access, ensuring that each item serves a purpose without adding unnecessary bulk.
The Core of Jon’s EDC:
- Firearm and Accessories: The centerpiece of Jon’s EDC is a full-size M&P pistol, customized by Agency Arms. It’s equipped with an Aimpoint Acro P2, a single-point comp, and a Surefire X300 light. Jon believes in the necessity of a weapon-mounted light for any CCW pistol.
- Holster: A Veil Solutions inside-the-waistband holster, modified to fit his firearm perfectly.
- Magazine and Carrier: He carries a flesh-fit mag for comfort and a backup with a base pad. His mag carrier of choice is from Dynamis Alliance/Crush Everything, chosen for its blend of rigidity and comfort.
- Belt: Jon prefers a simple nylon belt without a buckle for comfort and less printing when carrying appendix.
Additional EDC Items:
- Medical Kit: A compact kit in his back pocket, including quick clot and gloves.
- Multi-tool: A Leatherman Skeletool CX, chosen for its versatility and practicality.
- Flashlight: A Surefire Tactician, valued for its adjustable light modes.
Jon’s EDC is a testament to his belief in preparedness and functionality. He emphasizes that EDC is a personal choice and should be tailored to one’s lifestyle and needs. His setup may seem extensive to some, but each item has earned its place through practical use and necessity.
Whether you’re new to the concept of EDC or looking to refine your own, Jon’s approach offers valuable insights into making the most out of what you carry every day. Remember, the best EDC is the one that works for you.
