I managed to free up a cargo pocket on my shorts (Woolrich Elite) and it's empty. Seeking advice as to what I should fill it with. Currently this is what I carry when not at work:
On belt: Some sort of 1911 in a Milt Sparks VM2 holster. 2 magazine pouch and Surefire Z2 on weak side.
Front Right Pocket: SW 642 snub nose .38
Right Upper Pocket: LG8300 Cell Phone Leatherman Squirt P4 Gerber Multiplier Kershaw Pocket Knife
Right Cargo Pocket: Wallet ($100 spare cash, emergency contact list, P38, Extra Keys) Fenix P1D or Surefire E1E w/KL1 lighthead
Right Rear Pocket: Emerson CQC-7 w/wave
Front Left Pocket: Keys
Left Upper Pocket: Blackberry 8700
Left Cargo Pocket: Empty
Primary AO is the Washington, DC metro area. Biggest threats (I feel) are terrorist attack on mass transit, soft targets (ie active shooter in shopping mall), car/truck/bus bomb, etc.

What comes to mind:
Pocket organizer with a flat-fold paper mask, right-in-the-rain notebook, pen or pencil, pack of matches, bandanna, and some individually wrapped mints.

In my cargo pockets I carry, shout portable wipes, poison oak & ivy cleanser towelette, deep woods off towelette, a kleenex pocket pack & a wet ones antibacterial moist wipe.

So let me get this right. . . You carry a 1911 but you don't know what sort of 1911 it is? You back it up w/ a .38 snub, carry an LG cell phone and a Blackberry, two locking folding knives, two multi-tools, an excellent Surefire and a very good LED b/u light, and you want to know what to carry in your empty pocket. Sure, get an Ultralight .5 First Aid Kit from Adventure Medical Kits. If you have room for a back-up get a Wound Closure Kit too. So is this 1911 government issue?

I got to say that sure does sound like a heavy amount of equipment. Your pants must weigh 8 pounds.

You're ID. I'm going to assume you are a federal agent of some type, rather than someone who is trying to become a test case to see if the recent court ruling will nullify the DC carry law.

Sure sounds like you would need some sort of trauma gear- say lots of of sterile and occlusive dressings and tape to hold it all together. A pocket mask for CPR and gloves.
Also eye and lung protection for after the fact when all the hazmats are floating in the air.
And suspenders.
