What Do You Carry With You When You're a Spies?

Doug Patterson served as a case officer with the CIA for more than 10 years. He told me he would normally carry two different knives, one which could be given up easily if necessary and one much better concealed. After that he'd want shims for picking handcuffs or zip ties in case he's detained. Also a hidden handcuff key and possibly a lock pick set depending on the environment. Michael Sellers said his go to is a Glock 43 with a 10 round magazine or even a Glock 48 with a 15 round magazine. When he's wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the summer he carries a SIG SOUR P365 SAS.
