Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms are recommended for an Everyday Carry (EDC) setup in 2016?

The 2016 EDC setup features the Glock 26 (9mm, 10+1 capacity) and the Sphinx SDP Subcompact (9mm, CZ-inspired design) as primary firearms. A Ruger LCP (.380 ACP) is recommended as a comfortable ankle-carried backup gun.

Key EDC accessories include a durable wallet (like HellBent Holsters), a KeyBar for organizing keys, a compact high-lumen flashlight (Olight S1 Baton), a quality folding knife (Zero Tolerance 0566CF), and a robust leather belt (Daltech Force).

How should firearms and magazines be carried for optimal EDC?

For primary firearms, both Inside the Waistband (IWB) and Outside the Waistband (OWB) holsters are discussed, with OWB offering speed. Spare magazines for both primary and backup guns are essential, and the Glock 26 is noted for its compatibility with larger capacity magazines.

What makes a good EDC holster?

Holsters should be chosen based on carry style (IWB or OWB) and comfort. For ankle carry, like with the Ruger LCP, features like sheepskin lining (DeSantis holster) enhance comfort for all-day wear, making the holster easy to forget.
