How to carry a Flashlight?

[colt45er]

I know that a flashlight is a must for low light/no light conditions. I have also found myself in two positions lately where I had one and it came in handy.

My problem is how to carry one on a daily basis? How do you all carry your flashlight? Which flashlight do you carry? Do you conceal it?

Also if you can please post pics.

If this needs to be somewhere else, please move.

I usually try to find one with a pocket clip. i have one of these on order. https://www.4sevens.com/product_info.php?cPath=93&products_id=535 My brother just got one and they are badass for the price.

I found myself breaking pocket clips on a regular basis, so I carry my flashlight in a holster on my left hand side. I don't have pics right now, unfortunetly, but my holster is Kydex made by Rocketman Holsters, and the light is a NovaTac 120T

How do I carry my flashlights . . . the only succinct answer is "yes."

"Emergency" light goes on the belt in a Kydex holster.
Utility light #1 goes in shirt pocket
Utility light #2 is clipped inside of pants pocket
Keychain lights are on chain around neck
other backups distributed

Here is a review of the light I carry, a Streamlight MicroStream LED. I carry this light EVERYWHERE, just like my cell phone and Spyderco.

PPG Welcome to Performance Police Gear in Plainfield has them for about $19. I was there today. Great place, friendly folks. I'm thinking about buying that exact flashlight after payday.

I carry the larger Streamlight Stylus Pro everywhere, about $35-$40 on Snap-On, Matco and Cornwell tool trucks. I beat mine to death, they have a lifetime warranty.

I carry a SureFire E1e in my pocket, it is about the size of a Bic lighter, and can take an ass whooping. Pricey but good!

They're a lot cheaper on Google shopping, $15-20, about the size of a sharpie fine point permanent marker.

I'm working on it!

It's interesting that while I get teased about the redundancy in all of what I carry on a daily basis, the thing for which I receive the most ribbing is the number of flashlights I carry. Apparently I'm the only one who has been caught in the total darkness more than once (three times) with no functional light!
