When I say 1911 of some sort it varies. Nighthawk, TRP, Les Baer, etc. Oddly enough I don't notice the weight of all that stuff I carry since I've been doing it for several years. Not looking to be a test case since I keep on the good side (VA side) of the river and don't stray across the lines.

I'd like to ditch the Blackberry but it comes with the job.

I know...only 2 pistols. There's a Colt 6921 riding in my truck with 6 spare magazines of M855 and 62gr TAP along with plates, NOD's etc .

Ahh, I always considered the Washington, DC metro area being north of the Potomac; south of the river is NoVA. Huge difference. I used to have an Alexandria address just off 395.

It's still a lot of stuff.

I should have clarified NoVA. When I say NoVA most people give me a blank look unless their from around here. I live in Alexandria and work in Arlington.

I was 395 and Duke Street!

Fill that pocket up with cash!!

What cash...I'm a civil servant

FILL your pockets? Why not empty them a bit.

Two handguns plus two reloads! If 21 rounds of 45 ACP won't do it, I doubt very much an additional 5 rounds of 38 Special will be of much help.

The only additional item I can think of for the lonely empty pocket would be an envelope of Helium gas to take some of the load.
