How much does you every day carry weigh?

I weighed myself with and without my EDC. That is gun, reloads, mag holder, knife and sheath. I'm at 8.9 pounds.

I alternate between 9mm and 45acp guns. Both are 1911 style guns. The 45acp weighs 32ounces + 7 rounds of 45acp. The 9mm weighs 24ounces + 9 rounds of 9mm. Both fit the same holsters, the Don Hume JIT OWB probably weighs no more than 4 to 6 ounces. The Cross Breed Super Tuck may weigh closer to 8 to 10 ounces.

Either gun, loaded, with holster, is going to be under 3 pounds total weight. No knife. No flashlight. No extra magazines. Been carrying like that for roughly 20 years.

Occasionally I'll pocket carry a .380acp, with ammo and holster, those weigh under 1.25 Pounds.

Right now carrying my Glock 26 it tips the scale at 26.1 ounces loaded. When I switch over to my Glock 36 it will be just shy of 27 ounces with 7 rounds of .45 ACP

My on-duty uniform gear. I've weighed myself wearing it and it adds 25-30 lbs. Most of which sits at my waist. It is surprising what you get used to. I'm being serious as well. You could take my post as a smarty reply but I do consider this my EDC. I wear it for at least 8.5 hrs a day (sometimes more) 6 days in a row each week. I wear it more than my off-duty rig.
