- Kahr PM9, feeding on 7x rounds of spicy 9mm Golden Sabers; Uncle Mike's pocket holster. Its a spendy little gun, but has been 100% reliable.
- Quark 2xCR123 light with 18650 rechargeable battery
- Sharpie (usually the "twin tip" flavor with extra fine tip that serves as a pen)
- ring with Victorinox Classic, phillips driver, Atwood slotted driver, Fox 40 Micro whistle (to defend against libidinous hot chicks) and clippers
- Benchmade 810 Contego - an awesome piece of knife
- Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (used to take pic, and not shown)
My goal is to achieve the smallest carry package that provides the utility I am after. I could go smaller on everything, but at the expense of return on investment. The Kahr is hard to beat on the size/utility scale, though it has rivals like the Kel-tec PF9 and S&W 442. The Quark gives me huge lumens and long runtime, but is unobtrusive on the belt. The Vic Classic and small drivers supplant the usage of a larger MT and are easier to carry. This won't work for everyone, but it works for me. I could go with a smaller and lighter blade, but this is another balancing act - and I err here on the side of self defense and overall big blade utility at the expense of size and weight. And, the 810 is just a sick knife that is fun to carry.
Here's a bonus pic of the 810 for the ladies, using the "mirror next to a brick wall" trick. This wall is the part of the containment building for the secondary reactor core at Powernoodle Defense Industries. I'll have to leave it at that.

I'm jealous of your black slide!

Anyone have any ideas?
At first I thought that was a rare left-handed PAM. Is it like a Getat or something? Do you wear it on your right hand since it's a left-handed watch?
