That sounds better. Do you carry nailclippers or a Photon Freedom with your keys?

Nope. I'll take a pic a little later tonight and post it here. I just love all these EDC pictures. They are so much better than the text lists. :) We are visual creatures aren't we? :D

How do ya like that little "Beretta looking" Erma Xcam pistol? I had a chance to get one once and passed it up. Is it reliable? THX
 
A Dogs Best Friend,

The picture is a little defying, it's actually a practical exterior clone of a Walther PPK, so it's a bit larger than a .25 caliber Beretta. I really like the pistol, my pops bought it brand new in I think 1985 or 1986. It spent about 10 years in a drawer loaded, without being cleaned or fired. When I learned to shoot a pistol, this was the one I learned to shoot first, though.

I digress, that wasn't the question.

I've got a long history with the pistol, but for the most part it's been a very reliable piece. On extended range sessions with around 200 rounds in it, it may have a failure to eject. I've never had a failure to feed. Occasionally, due to an older mainspring with several thousand rounds through it, I may have a failure to fire on a single action trigger pull, if that is immediately followed by a double action pull, the round will fire. Accuracy wise, with practice I can put all 9 rounds into a single grouping of about 1.5" at 15 yards, plenty accurate for a gun with about a 3" barrel. If you find another for a good price, I'd pick it up, you'll more than likely find it to be reliable, handy, and fun to shoot, I know that mine is all of those things.

I wouldn't be afraid to drop it in my pocket for a trip to 7-11. Clean and fresh with good ammo, I know it will go bang everytime and put the rounds where I want them, even if they're only .22 caliber.

I have to agree I really like the clip I put on my Gerber Engage that allows for low carry ..

It is awesome.. as long as ya feed it some decent ammo.. and cheap!!! I can't get enough of plinking with it.. and it looks so tactical for such a small cal. I was sold when I saw 007 with the P99 and had to have one and it's lil baby too.. out of the box it was a little high.. but with the adjustable sight's it was no problem getting her set up .. I have a green one also .. here is another pic of the other one for size refrence..

Thanks for keeping this thread going :thumbsup:

Away from Home -
EDC_out4.jpg


I had to buy a new digicam - my previous Canon A70 (3mp) was worn out after 21 months and putting some 60K shots through it - it became unreliable I often missed shots because of its bad bahavior. However I stuck and survived with the "devil you know" for my 3 weeks trip in China (photo links at bottom of post) and ordered my new digicam as soon as I got back.

It's a Canon PowerShot S70 (7mp) a little on the more expensive side - but I do a lot of photography - eg: I retreived the thing last Tuesday (June/7/2005) evening from FedEx - charged the battery at the dojo - went out that night to 3 venues and took 97 shots - by Thursday June/9 I accumulated a shot count of 371.

While the digicam is still new to me and the battery duration unknown - I carry a spare.

A couple of things I left out of my previous images of my EDCs were folding reading glasses, and ear plugs! which I absolutely need at the music venues I go to since I am at the front of the stage most of the time - often directly in line with amplifiers - I still have good/acute hearing because of the ear plugs.

Another addition to my keyring is the ACR WW-3 USCG/SOLAS compliant whistle - it's light enough and a worthwhile additional device to attract attention when necessary.

At Home -
EDC_home4_S.jpg

It's now hot - so I'm in shorts at home (but with pockets) - so the EDC becomes minimalist - so I revert back to just one knife and one flashlight.....

Air Travel - staying Away from Home
EDC_air4.jpg

Basically changing out the EDC knife to the Victorinox Yeoman - initially I did that to eliminate any possiblity of losing my unique EDC customized SAK - but later realize the addition of scissors when staying away from home in hotels etc. is actually invaluable.........

I don't normally need the ear plugs when on vacation/touring - but if I had an annoying person next to me on a long plane journey I might wish I had them :)

OT - My China photos -

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha........I've changed again! This time it just may be for good. I have the ever present small multiblade slipjoint in my left front pocket and it is a Case Gunstock. The right hand knife is a Strider AR...............I have "discovered" Striders! Of course I knew of them but never liked them due to the clip placement, knowing I'd never carry a knife with that much of it sticking out of my pocket. Finally got one with the coyote brown scales, and the new style clip. I moved the clip back to the last frame screw and now only 1/4", if that much, is exposed! Like it so well that I traded for a second one, with black G-10 scales, that came today, and I've moved the clip on it also.

Man, these Striders are some more tough folders!! :D :D :D
