Still GTG today... except for that jacket. And you'd need the current model flip phone too.

Still carrying a Spyderco. The pistol is usually a 1911 .45 in a Bruce Nelson Summer Special, not that newfangled plastic gun in a plastic holster. I have upgraded to an iPhone 13, though.

G27... a subcompact polymer .40SW... I can't think of a gun I've hated more... Oh... wait... yes I can... the G33... :-)

I'm a big guy, not recoil shy, and both of those (owned by a buddy) made it quickly onto my "nope - not for me" list. Happy to carry a subcompact 9mm or a fullsized 10mm, but those little tiny things in hot .40SW / .357Sig were miserable to shoot...

It was serviceable gear.

But we've seen upgrades for sure.

I also carry a Spyderco and a 191!.
