All except for #3 belt, i would never risk (or understand) a quality light clipped to a belt when I can so easily place it in a holster. I normally use #2 holster, with a back-up always on my keyring. At work I add a light in my pocket. Of course I have various lights available in my vehicle.

My .02 FWIW YMMV

On a typical workday in the summer, I don't carry a jacket. So I usually have the following on me:
  • Zebralight sc52 clipped in my backpack.
  • eagletac d25a Ti clicky xp-g2 next to it.
  • spark sg3 nw inside my bag (perfect for computer work)
  • eagletac p20a2 xp-g2 in my glovebox.
  • thrunite ti2 somewhere in my car, usually velcro'd in the trunk.

Besides the Photons on my keys I carry a Quark 1XCR123 in a small belt holster for work.Most other times I have a Mini MLR2 or Mini ML in my watch pocket.Occasionally I will carry a light clipped inside my pocket if I don't have a watch pocket.When I carry one of my larger lights it is in a back pants pocket,coat pocket or a holster.

Since this is a thread on carry, I'll ask here... Anyone carrying a light in a Skinth P3? I've got one coming and have high hopes my SC62w will fit in it (main tube is listed as 1.25")

But right now I carry SC62c clipped RFP and Eiger lug on a McGizmo clip on my keys.

Primary light, currently the Sunwayman V11Rvn, is clipped inside weak side (left) pocket. Currently cargo shorts, large cargo pocket, soon enough it will be jeans.

Secondary light, currently Fenix E15, clipped via Nite Ize biner to keyring hung, via TEC P7, inside weakside pocket.



When I am in comfort mode, basketball shorts or sweats, it is clipped in a deep conceal holster

For the last couple of years I had been carrying my light (usually a Fenix LD10 or LD12) clipped inside my back left pocket, keeping it as far to the outside as I could to prevent the discomfort of sitting on it. While looking for some new cargo shorts this spring, I started searching for something with a small dedicated knife/flashlight pocket. I came across the Tru-Spec 24-7 cargo shorts/pants (there are several different versions) and they have been perfect. There is a small pocket between the front and rear pockets on both sides which works perfectly for a small-ish flashlight. The pocket will hold something up to about 25mm in diameter and is about 100mm deep.

Usually carry my ZL SC52 loose in my left pocket alongside a Gerber Paraframe knife. I keep a small profile wallet between the two to keep them from scratching and wearing on each other.

A ZL H52 loose in my pocket.

I seem to be really good at scratching up anything and everything with a clip on the outside of my pocket.
Maybe I haven't tried it long enough and just need to figure out what I can/can't do when I have hard stuff on the outside of my clothes. :duh2:

I use kydex on my shooting rigs. Used to use the normal fabric pouches but kydex is so much cleaner.

I have my Gerber clipped onto my right pocket and my Surefire E2D LED on my left pocket. I keep them separate to prevent scratching and it makes it less bulky. I also keep a Surefire 6P in my glove compartment as a secondary.
