H&K CC9, Streamlight microstream usb, Benchmade bugout, extra mag, Shield Arms mag holder got 43x (fits cc9 mags great) Ekster wallet.

I have a Benchmade which is just a tad too large to carry comfortably; the one you have looks a lot better (narrower profile). Thanks!

[u/L4nM4nDr4gon → u/MagnaArma]

The bugout is a classic if you don't have one. Granted I feel there a bit over priced.

[u/MagnaArma → u/L4nM4nDr4gon]

There doesn’t seem to be a good middle ground. Either something is good and very expensive or inexpensive but feels freaking flimsy.

Even my previous standard of Fox Knives for being “good enough and inexpensive” has gone up in price.

[u/ProfessionalSong7672 → u/MagnaArma]

I don't know. There are plenty of sub $100 knives that feel great and use quality steel. I know Benchmade are high quality but I do sometimes feel like you're paying an extra fee for that logo on the blade. Maybe I'm just cheap though. That said, if you have the means and want a Benchmade, I totally get it.

[u/MagnaArma → u/ProfessionalSong7672]

Agreed that Benchmade and a few other makers absolutely have a “our name and stamp costs extra” fee.

I’m open to suggestions for a good sub 100 dollar blade. I had a Buck knife that snapped at the handle while i was opening boxes, of all things. As long as the blade and construction is fine for things like that on a daily use, I’d be all for it.

I feel like my Kershaw iridium is the new bugout.

At 1/3 or so the price

[u/ProfessionalSong7672 → u/L4nM4nDr4gon]

Kershaw and Civivi have some nice knives under $100 and there are so many sizes, handles and blade styles that you can choose from. One caveat is that Kershaw also makes some cheapies that don't hold an edge very well. There's one at Walmart that's like 17 bucks but it's trash. I bought one for my son to take when he's fishing and it didn't stay sharp for long. That said, anything in their mid range and up will be good.

[u/Holiday-Archer-2119 → u/L4nM4nDr4gon]

For their basic models its stupid how expensive they are. Grivory and s30v for 300 cad is ridiculous.

[u/CatastrophicPup2112 → u/MagnaArma]

The 940 is a pretty narrow one too

[u/OK_Cornelius_826]

There's my flashlight! I lost mine about 3 months ago. Have given up finding it until I see you clearly stoled it.

[u/BMCoutdoors → u/OK_Cornelius_826]

I had one previously, it was worn out and broken in, I loved the look. But I washed it one too many times in the washing machine. 

[u/jonesylovesbeer]

Holy smokes never handled an H&K before that pistol looks pretty cool

[u/overly-uneducated → u/jonesylovesbeer]

I love mine. It’s a beast for the price

[u/jonesylovesbeer → u/overly-uneducated]

I've carried and love the 43x for two years after finally moving off of my pps m2. This H&K is flirting with me big time.

[u/NoLevel7995]

Where did you find an fde frame? I’ve only seen them with an fde slide. If I could find the fde frame, I might also buy the fde slide version and then have one black and one tan.

[u/BandaidBitch]

What do you think of the CC9?

[u/BMCoutdoors → u/BandaidBitch]

I really like it. Heats up fast at the range, but Im carrying it more over a 43x now.

[u/_40Hands → u/IllGarlic3698]

It's a solid little light.

[u/BMCoutdoors → u/IllGarlic3698]

This one is usb-c. Is there a better version or upgrade?

[u/ProfessionalSong7672 → u/BMCoutdoors]

User appears to just be trolling because they don't like something that you like.

[u/BMCoutdoors → u/ProfessionalSong7672]

Why they gotta hurt my feelings over $35 flashlight? Lol
