I have gone thru many loadouts the past couple decades and still run pretty heavy at work, but "just" a G19/mag/lights/knives/mini multitool off duty. However, I travel overseas often and am generally reduced to a flashlight and nice pen. My point being that I truly believe it's not exactly what you carry, it's the mindset and behind the scenes thinking that lead you to carry anything at all. Preparedness starts in your head.
That said I'm pretty sure my J frame 642PD wants to break my wrist and/or fingers whenever I am dumb enough to shoot it with duty +P loads!
