Dad needs new pants for his EDC..

So, I’m looking for suggestions on new pants for every day use and my carry.

I’ve been wearing these silly Kohls Sonoma brand stretch jeans for like 6 years and am due for new pants so thought I’d do research more given I’m carrying and prefer some extra storage.

Would prefer more budget friendly pants that will still hold up for some years, and have some decent pocket locations.

Not opposed to either Jean or “cargo”, so long as the pockets are zip up with no flaps for example.

As of now I’m leaning towards LAPG stuff given their price point, but still not totally turned off to say Vertx as long as I know the pocket placement is there and they will last.

My biggest gripe atm is only having back pockets, since I can’t stand carrying items on my back pockets (on the ass) and would rather have ones that utilize thigh pockets or such as well.

ATM, I have eyes on LAPG Terrain Flex, LAPG Atlas, Vertx Defiance, 5.11 Apex

Thoughts? If the LAPG are spoken well for, I’ll be going that route just cause..well dad on a budget..

Do you train with the same grain and carry with the same grain?

Trying to figure out if I should just stick to training 124g since I'm planning on carrying 124g. I've seen some people say you should train the same grain you carry but some others say there are negligible differences training whatever grain you can get cheapest with. Thoughts?

Holster recommendations for “bigger” guys.

Yes I know. “Loose the weight” I’m working on it but in the meantime I’m looking for a holster that would work good for my 365 macro. I’ve seen online that people love the FatGuy holster from JX Tactical. I would love to hear any other recommendations before I bite the bullet and buy one.

CO carry to and from vehicle

I am traveling to CO this week from a state that has a reciprocal CCW agreement. However, CO has this stupid law, quoted below. How do I comply with this law without brandishing my handgun in the parking lot while I transfer it from my holster to a case?

"Colorado law also allows a person to possess a handgun in a dwelling, place of business, or automobile; however, you may not carry the weapon concealed on or about your person while transporting it into your home, business, hotel room, etc."

CCW question

Now I know you wouldn’t apply for a CCW in San Diego if you didn’t or don’t meet the minimum requirements, but has anyone been denied? And were they able to have it overturned?

Give me your expert opinions

Currently rocking a p10c with a tlr7 in a ANR holster and it’s meh. The pistol shoots amazing, the trigger runs circles around glock and it fits my hand perfectly. My problem is that it doesn’t conceal great on my body and I often have to carry in environments where knowing I have a gun is not an option. I have a claw and added a wedge which did wonders it’s just not very comfortable. I’m thinking about getting a 38 j frame and my reasoning is the more comfortable the more I’ll carry and better concealment. I don’t have the money to try a million holsters and I know realistically I’m not gonna be in a red dawn situation and need 30 rounds on me. I should mention that I’ll have to sell the p10c to afford the snubbie. What do you guys think? Stick with my current set up or get the lil guy?

Best cheap weights for pistols?

Planning on getting a rail adapter for my Shield Plus and then slapping on some weights on there to reduce muzzle flip. Any recommendations for cheap weights?

Had a TLR6 light before but returned it promptly after my batteries literally flew out of the bottom door after firing a few rounds.
