    To all of you that regularly carry a flashlight...

    How do you carry it? Bouncing around in pocket? Clipped to pocket? Clipped to belt? In flashlight holster?

    Was in a pouch on my weak side until I wore out the pouch. Now it is in my pocket till I can come up with the funds for a nicer pouch. Tk11 Fenix.

    This seemed like a great way to carry a light and a spare mag, but the light was not friendly to the love-handle region to the point of drawing blood. Now its pocket carry for both the light and the mag.

    I carry this with whatever light I decide to carry. It rotates to carry horizontally , vertically, or at a 45 degree angle. I especially like this feature as you can hold the light in "someone's" face and have your hands free for"other" purposes. I have had the light get turned on accidentally a couple times. This has not happened with tail cap clickys though.

    I use my 6P when I want to use that. If I carry the E2D (what's normally with me) it gets clipped in the front pocket, weak side.

    Weak side pocket clip. If I'm wearing 5.11's it's the back pocket, If I'm other pants it's in the front, next to the Kershaw Junkyard Dog II.

    Up until the last 1500 I carried it in a soft pouch on my belt. I really wanted to get one with a clip on it so I could put it in my pocket, because there were a few times the light was turned on from me sitting down and it getting pressed. Now I have a smaller light with a clip that is clipped to my pocket.

    Quark 123 2 with pocket clip on left side, with a little practice this makes for a very quick draw to go with my weapon.

    If you are not familiar with this light check it out, wow it is the awesome!
