Keys

[evsnova74]

I've been changing a lot of things about my EDC items since I started carrying. The best thing I've done in in this area is start hanging my keys on a belt loop, which frees up a front pocket, prevents the wear and tear on the pocket and they're not so likely to get all tangled up. But I hate how I jingle everywhere I go now. So I'm just curious if there are any out of the box solutions for carrying keys? Seems like this is the best place to ask...

Looks like it's what you want.

I have been carrying keys on my loop for 10 years, never once lost them. I have 12 on the ring currently. The jingling is easy to control, put a couple pieces of rubber or a few small o-rings in the right spots and the keys won't jingle as much. Plastic coated keys help too.

Bigest thing to remember, get rid of the clutter (store cards, charms, car door clickers, really thick keys)

Can you get one of those small pouches (think cell phone, tape measure, knife size etc.) with a belt clip on it to put your keys in and hook them to your pants?

I haven't even really looked for lack of knowing where. Is there a good site with lots of selection of pouches with belt loops? I need one for my spare phone battery too, but cursory google searches came up short because I just don't know the right terms.

That's perfect. Exactly what I imagined. I was going to ask where that pic is from but upon quoting you I see that it's unclemikesle.com. Thanks!

Im sure you can find many models like that on many websites that sell supply for law enforcement and security.
That's just the first picture I could find and I haven't look at that particular site.

I found a few of those $10 and up, then I found this: Police Officer EMS Security Duty Belt Pouches & Rigs | eBay Seems so cheap it's probably crap but I'll take a chance on it for under $10. Thanks again!

Think "knives"

Rocky Mountain Knife Works usually offers lots of knife-cases. I bought 12 Stanley belt-pouches that exactly fit my G-21 and -30 magazines. 50¢ each + postage. Shiny, black, basket-weave, w/ snap. EBG

I found I dont need all the keys I carry. I go through and eliminate some occaisionally, eliminates the bulk.
