Though I'm constantly experimenting, these are my current EDC lights.
The bottom light is used for general illumination purposes. It is a 100% Malkoff light comprised of a (now discontinued) 1CR123 shrouded body (current version here), a VME bezel and a M61L drop-in, running on a 16340 cell. I'm finding its 230-lumen output with 2+ hours of runtime a good balance for my needs. It rides unnoticed in the bottom of my front pants pocket.
The top light, what I refer to as my Light Saber (discussed here) is configured entirely as a SD light. It's made up of a Malkoff E2 Hyper Throw head, a Surefire L4 Digital Lumamax body from ebay with a Lumens Factory 2-way Long Clip, and a twisty tailcap from a Surefire Tactician that I found on the M4C equipment exchange. It rides in a Kytex Gear horizontal belt carrier at the 11 o'clock position in total comfort yet readily accessible for fast deployment. Alternatively, it rides fine clipped to the inside of a pocket.
Perhaps the biggest take-away is that two EDC lights are better than one, and having each tightly-configured for a specific task is working very well for me.
After scratching the surface of the possibilities made available by the MRDS pistol world, I am going all in. Current EDC has become the Gen 5 MOS 17 with ACRO. Carried in a JMCK AIWB light bearing to accommodate an X300U. I carry an issued Gen 4 21 for work, but this has pretty much taken over for all my other needs.
The holster was a special order. Discreet Carry clips placed close together, no wing attachment, and a foam wedge. It is everything I hoped it could be. Basically a light capable original AIWB which has always been my favorite model.
Getting pretty dusty.
Walk the dog and travel light. Everything hides under a hoodie.
Been toting this for the last couple of weeks.
Yeah, I know.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
It is an Emerson Knives Kwaiken - One of Ernie's 'Signature Series' blades, limited to 63-pieces (this one is #62 of 63). If you find one for sale today, it will probably cost as much as a Colt 1911.
I do not actually normally carry a fixed blade this big, instead opting for one of Shivworks' Clinch Picks (on the right) which are about a hundred bucks new from Shivworks Product Group.

@RevolverRob she is a beauty! I knew I never seen a knife like that before. A clinch pick is next on my list! I use my eldris and bk14 more of a small bushcraft knife around my property.
