#EverydayCarry

Walther Arms is primarily known for making handguns. This German manufacturer produces a variety of semi-automatic pistols suitable for a range of purposes. Their modern lineup includes models optimized for competition, concealed carry, duty use, and more. Even James Bond is a fan, with the iconic PPK serving as 007’s primary sidearm throughout a great deal of his time on the silver screen and in the pages of many Bond novels. The company recently began offering high-end custom shop versions of some of their pistols, upgraded under their “Meister Manufaktur” program. In addition to guns, this fine gunmaker offers a smattering of accompanying gear items as well. To compliment their EDC-intended handguns, they’ve just announced a new ankle medical kit.

Since 1969, Phoenix’s Galco Gunleather (originally from Chicago and called “The Famous Jackass Leather Company”) has produced a vast spectrum of shooting accoutrements. From holsters to concealed carry purses and fanny packs to med kits, their products offer something for nearly everyone who carries. If you do carry a firearm, its typically a good idea to pack some extra ammo.

Firearms instructor, police officer, Marine Corps veteran, private military contractor, and use of force expert Brannon LeBouef takes us through the what and why of his every day carry. A little more than a pocket dump, Brannon LeBouef of NOLATAC explains his gear selection for life in New Orleans, LA and the logic behind his choices. He also brings up some “bigger picture” mindset issues for the average person to consider as they make selections for their personal defense plan. He speaks about the importance of the ankles as a place to carry, having options in your response, and the huge role medical should play in your EDC plans.

Today’s Picture shows an interesting and discrete solution for Every Day Carry. Austria meets North Carolina. I could have taken my own pictures of the WK Pick and a Glock 43, but none of mine has a threaded barrel like this one. The minimalistic holster seems pretty nice too. I first saw Winkler Knives at the SHOT Show two years ago and decided I should buy one.

The Telegraph (a UK Paper) has published a fascinating picture look into the historic loadouts carried into combat from 1066 to now. Photographer Thom Atkinson embarked on a nine-month journey into “Britain’s mythological relationship with war:”
