Hey all,
I'm always curious as to what other recovery persons wear gear wise. I've seen a couple variations, but considering the vast resources of this website and it's members, I figured I'd get a much better view on what we wear as a profession. I hope that others will post a synopsis of their gear, and offer opinions and suggestions to others on their choices.
I'll go first!
No matter what I'm doing, whether it be tactical or in office work, I always have my trust SigSauer 226 in .40S&W.
I have three "sets" that I wear; light, medium, and heavy duty.
Light Duty
Light duty is for in-office work, or very low risk ops. I also consider this "plainclothes".
I carry my Sig226 in a Fobus light-bearing paddle holster, with handcuffs and a spare mag in another paddle holster (also by Fobus)
Medium Duty
Medium duty is what I wear for most ops and recoveries. The clothing may vary, but it is usually a dark colored polo(or hooded sweatshirt) with khaki pants. I wear my duty belt and a concealable IIIA vest.
Duty belt:
-Double mag holder
-Radio (either a CP150 or a GP68)
-Baton (ASP, 26in)
-Flashlight (Streamlight Stinger)
-2 single handcuff cases (with 2 sets of Peerless chained handcuffs)
-OC spray can.
Heavy Duty
I prefer this over the other two for most ops, simply because it makes me the most identifiable and offers the greatest amount of protection.
I have a black plate carrier (unknown brand, got it from CTD) with level IIIA inserts and 8x8 steel plates velcroed to the inside of the carrier. It's heavy, but I can wear it for 10-12 hours before feeling it.
-Pens
-"tactical" handcuff key
-Double mag pouch
-Extra flashlight
I also have a drop leg Blackhawk! level 3 SERPA holster to make accessing my firearm much easier while wearing the carrier.
Taser
I also have a Taser x26 that goes with all three setups.
So that's it for my gear, what about y'all?
, casual pants... if it's warm... tactical sandals 
, large depends 
in case I get excited and sht in my Bermuda's 
... (don't tell me you never did that...)... I used to wear a good pair of tennis shoes like 'New Balance' or some other high dollar running shoes but now that I have 2 titanium knees... I can't run... so I just wear something as comfortable and carry a larger caliber pistol 
like this little TaurusPro .45... so I don't have to run.... 
filled with Clorox.... while the perp is laughing at me I just shoot him in the face with the Clorox and put the cuffs on him while he is laying on the ground screaming.... he doesn't usually fight back and then I give him a 'handy wipe' ...
I did think his Bermudas were fancier than mine............
