I do have to upgrade my daily carry with the addition of a Boker 67 line Damascus folder with ebony wood grips.

I've been carrying a Microstream for about a year. I am no longer sure wtf I was doing without a flashlight before.

I'm on my second microstream. I managed to lose the first one. Couldn't get another one fast enough. Damn things are about as handy as the pocket on a shirt. Thinking about putting a small piece of skateboard tape on it to make it hold onto my pocket better.

I use an Inforce APL when the need arises like a trip to the farm, carried in a OWB holster with my glock 19/17.

I have gone through 3 microstreams, love the little things, and not expensive.

I dont think I would ever go the route of a EDC WML on my gun

I have a pistol mounted light. I really need another light independent of my pistol, though.

Immediately ordered a Microstream after reading through this thread and thinking about how much I fumble with my phone to turn on that stupid flashlight app. Not sure why its taken me this long to realize the practicality.

I keep a weapon light on my gun in the nightstand but I don't carry that way.

This little off-brand light came off the bargain table at H&H and is so bright it will blind you for a few seconds. Ask Michele.

It's called "LED Lenser". It's about a million lumens

I keep a Coast G10 in my pocket at all times, and occasionally dabble with putting a light on carry gun, but I can never get comfortable with it.

You'd be surprised how often the pocket light comes in handy.
