    This is about it for me, replace the Whaleshark with my Strider SMF and we are right on the money.

    6 days a week either a Sig P320c or P220 compact plus 1 mag and a Spyderco PM2.
    Sunday is usually a S&W 442 in an ankle holster and a Kershaw Leek. Occasionally the Shield if I am wearing a sports coat.

    Absolute bare minimum?

    Wallet, watch, cell phone, keys, and a Glock 42.

    I have a small Gerber multi-tool I sometimes carry but it's not a self defense tool unless I'm holding it in my fist like a roll of nickels.

    Things I know I should carry more frequently: Pen and pocket notebook, flashlight, folding knife.

    Sometimes if I am just running up to the corner gas station at oh dark thirty in the morning I don't carry much. I will slip the little P64 in 9x18 Makarov in my pocket.

    I have only one sidearm suitable for carry, S&W 1006, so no need or possibility to vary EDC.
    The key is an excellent (Kramer horsehide) holster and a sturdy belt.
    The only other sidearm option (the Ruger LCR is my wife's) is a 7-1/2" barrel Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt, not exactly the most comfortable to carry concealed, even for me at 6'4", although still concealable in winter riding in a vertical shoulder holster.

    Glock-27 plus a spare 15 rd standard mag, 180 gr Winchester PDX-1 is my MINIMUM around Fishers.
    A Glock-22 with spare mag, cell phone if going back into the city, I consider MAXIMUM.
