everyday carry, edc, everyday carry gear, concealed carry, concealed carry gear, CrossBreed Freedom Carry IWB — Nothing is more important to safe and secure concealed carry than a good quality and comfortable holster. Here CrossBreed Holsters succeeds on both counts and has added the new Freedom Carry IWB Holster to its line. This holster features the same great fit and full leather backing as the rest of the line as well as the tuckable feature that makes it extremely concealable, but instead of two belt clips it uses one. This reduces the overall size of the holster, allowing for greater versatility in methods of carry, such as appendix carry or cross-draw. The single belt clip is also cant adjustable.

Magpul offers several styles including its new Magpul Tejas Gun Belt (a.k.a. El Original) in commemoration of its recent move to that state. This 1.5-inch, bullhide belt is reinforced with a polymer insert for strength and stability that will not sag. The buckle can be removed and replaced for a custom look as well.

If you are already going to the trouble of carrying a concealed handgun, adding a spare magazine is among the easiest and best things you can do. One great source for spare magazines is MEC-GAR, which manufactures some of the highest quality handgun magazines available. These precision-made, drop -ree magazines are made from either carbon or stainless steel that is then heat-treated and blued. These spare magazines are available for over 200 models of pistols.

The LA Police Gear Operator L1 flashlight is small and light enough to fit on your belt or in a pocket or bag, and it produces a blinding 800 lumens. If you don’t need that much light, the L1 can be twist adjusted for medium and low outputs as well as a disorienting strobe setting. This has the added benefit of extending the battery life to 70 hours on the low mode. The flashlight has a clip on the side for convenience and includes two CR123 batteries as well as a belt holster.

The sights have five distinct aiming elements. The rear sight has a center vertical post flanked by two horizontal lines. The front sight has a center dot above a vertical post. The combination of vertical and horizontal lines drives the eye toward the center dot, making sight alignment more intuitive and faster. Night sights are a good idea on any defensive pistol and can make all the difference in low-light situations. The R4E is currently available for all Glock autopistols.

The Stingray holster uses a single wide clip mounted close to the grip and features a full sweat shield to protect the gun and minimize its already small footprint. The No-Print Wonder holster uses a dual-clip system to bring the gun in close to the body. It is also cant and height adjustable with a full sweat shield.

The belt features a stainless spring-steel core stitched inside two layers of premium, drum-dyed English bridle leather using military-grade polyester thread. The 1.5-inch-wide belt is available in black or brown and is hand finished.

Best of all, you get seven days to try it out and return it for any reason. (http://www.gunbelts.com; 208-209-7321)

The LA Police Gear Rescue EDC Folding Knife is a versatile piece of equipment that features a seat belt cutter and glass breaker for emergency use. The 3.25-inch, liner-lock blade has a tanto-style shape. It has ambidextrous assisted finger or thumb opening, a low-profile pocket clip, a matte gun metal finish and G10 scales. I use mine on practically a daily basis and find it indispensable. A partially serrated option is available. (http://www.lapolicegear.com; 866-793-1911)

everyday carry, edc, everyday carry gear, concealed carry, concealed carry gear, Ulticlip — Ideally your kit has no weak links, but one I have found most often is in holster belt clips that are either loose, ill fitting, don’t keep the holster on the belt or break. The Ulticlip aims to fix this problem once and for all. This spring steel belt clip simply replaces the belt clips on your current holster and attaches to your belt using a small metal clamp system. The advantages here are twofold. First, the exposed portion of the clip is much smaller, which significantly improves concealment. Second, the clamp is incredibly strong and your holster will absolutely stay where you put it. Your pants will come off before your holster does. (http://www.ulticlip.com; 239-400-2547)

An everyday-carry firearm often benefits from adding some kind of accessory, and there are plenty to choose from today. The reality is that firearms accessories aren’t just for looks, they specifically make you better able to defend yourself and carry concealed.
