S&W M&P .40c
IWB Galco holster
DeSantis dual mag holster (new xmas gift)
Speer Gold Dot ammunition
4 mag's (3 on me, 1 in car; total 40 rounds)

I never leave home with out it, and 9 times out of 10 i usually put my firearm on before my shoes in the morning. When (optimistic) Texas goes OC I'm going to look at a new holster. Something in the Kydex style that will lock my firearm in place and hold an extra mag if possible

Everything else I carry varies on such things as whether I remember them, whether they are legal where I am going, and whether I need them where I am going, and whetherI feel like having them. I usually have a cell-phone though.

Does anybody open carry with a shoulder holster?

For anybody who would like an extremely good quality shoulder holster for an extremely good price, go to eBaY and search by seller, seller's name is

jpb5571. They are also extremely comfortable. They are well balancedtoo by the time you carry a firearm on one side and insert two magazines on the other side.

Thank you! I figured that if I was going to carry openly I wanted to do so in style. :)
