I don’t know if this loadout counts as EDC, but I carried it every day I was camping.

@Up1911Fan is right. That's the original Harry's Icon holster. There is a 2.0 version but inflation has hit Harry's. The 2.0 is quite a bit more expensive than the original.
Thanks.
They are proud of them!! :)
I'll probably try one eventually.

That is a gorgeous Hi Power ("HP"). Would you be able to tell us about the pistol, especially in terms of who did the work and where you obtained the flat trigger? I run flat triggers on most of my 1911s and ARs and am intrigued by the one in your HP. A couple of years ago, I gravitated back to HPs and find they are a great tool in terms of daily carry and defensive use.
Thanks in advance.

Bruce,
That HP was built by the late Jim Garthwaite. I was lucky enough to acquire the pistol from another PF'er a couple/few years ago. It's been a great piece, and since it has been used a bunch, I'm not scared of putting some wear on it. The trigger is of Jim's own design, and he used to sell them. I believe Nighthawk bought the rights to the triggers after Jim's death. I'd put in a call to Bob Reeves in the NH custom Shop and inquire about them.

Many thanks for the tip. I will reach out to Mr. Reeves next week. On a related note, it's nice to see guns like your Garthwaite Hi Power getting some honest wear. I ran plastic guns for work during most of my career and early into my retirement but have since switched back. Shooting Hi Powers and 1911s is like shaking the hand of an old friend. Or was a good friend once said, it is like shaking hands with John Wayne. Plastic guns have their place, but I prefer Hi Powers and 1911s.
Thanks again.
Bruce
