Beth Alcazar Shows Off Her EDC

Beth Alcazar is an instructor and Senior Editor for the USCCA. She has shot lots of different guns and tried lots of holsters. This has led her to a tried and true EDC, one which she is confident in. Here are the top items from Alcazar’s EDC.

Springfield Armory XD-S and CrossBreed Holsters
Alcazar happily settled on the Springfield XD-S for her weapon of choice. The 9mm striker-fired handgun gives her plenty of firepower while concealing nicely. She pairs it with her Crossbreed Hybrid holster, which has the good retention of kydex while adding a layer of comfort with a leather backing. Don’t worry that the 8+1 capacity isn’t enough firepower for Alcazar, she always packs a backup magazine.

5.11 Lucy Tote
Alcazar is a mom of three so not only does she have to carry her stuff but all of the kids as well. That’s why she likes the Lucy Tote from 5.11. It’s big and versatile enough to carry lots of items and has a specific concealed carry pocket if she wants to carry a backup gun. 5.11 is known for making quality concealed carry and tactical clothing and this tote is no exception.

SWAT-T Tourniquet
A tourniquet is an essential part of Alcazar’s everyday carry. Being able to administer aid to someone who is suffering from life threating loss of blood is important to her. That’s why she packs the SWAT-T tourniquet with her everywhere she goes.

Streamlight flashlight
A flashlight is another piece of essential everyday carry gear. This is probably the most used piece of carry equipment by a majority of concealed carriers. Alcazar chooses a small Streamlight option, which provides a high lumen output while also attaching to a lanyard for easy access.
