Shawn Ryan's Everyday Carry: 2026 Edition
Shawn Ryan presents his 2026 everyday carry (EDC) collection, showcasing personal items, tools, and gear accumulated over his SEAL and CIA contracting career. The centerpiece is the unreleased SIG Sauer P385, his new primary firearm, along with sentimental items, security tools, and practical gear he uses daily.
Summary
Shawn Ryan's 2026 everyday carry video covers an extensive collection of items organized by category. He begins with personal technology, discussing how his phone is his most-used item, then transitions into a humorous anecdote about purchasing an intimate product (the Dolphin) that was advertised back to his in-laws, leading him to create the Glacier privacy app to prevent data brokers from selling personal information. He showcases sentimental items including a sobriety coin from his wife, military memorial bracelets for fallen soldiers, a microphone jack from his first audio engineer who now runs his company as COO, and gifts from friends like Christian Craighead and Father Ripperger. His apparel collection includes Cole Hahn shoes, Tom Ford jeans, Robert Barraquette shirts, and an SRS company hat and jacket. He displays multiple watches with extensive travel history: a black GMT Rolex (visited Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Taiwan, Dubai), a white gold Submariner designed as an heirloom, and a Breitling Emergency with distress beacon functionality (though he notes it may no longer work). He carries multiple rosaries for spiritual protection, including one blessed by Father Ripperger from Medjugorje, Bosnia. His EDC includes brass knuckles from Eddie Gallagher, vintage switchblades, fixed blades from Randall and Tour Knives (given by Travis Haley), and folders. He carries Bibles everywhere—one blessed by Christian Craighead, one WWII-era Bible that stopped a bullet, and a Jesus Calling daily devotional he reads every morning. He also carries Deliverance Prayers from exorcist Father Ripperger and a St. Benedict crucifix for spiritual warfare. Medical supplies include a Snake Staff Systems tourniquet, which he emphasizes everyone should learn to use. Electronics include an OMG cable (iPhone charger with surveillance chip created by Mike Grover), Ridge Wallet battery packs kept throughout his vehicles and bags, a signal detector from Ryan Montgomery, a Nyan Box signal jammer, and a Glacier Wi-Fi box with secure VPN for safe travel. His EDC bag is a basic Jansport fanny pack containing extra batteries, firearm optics, lighters, and SureFire flashlights. The climax is revealing the unreleased SIG Sauer P385 as his new primary firearm. He traces his EDC firearm evolution: starting with a Glock 17 (his best friend Gabe McCarty's gun, carried for sentimental value), transitioning to a Glock 19, then the Glock 43, then the revolutionary P365 (which he praises for its double-stack magazine design and 12-round capacity), upgrading to the P365 Macro (17 rounds), and now the P385. He describes the P385 as perfection, highlighting its flat trigger, gas pedal thumb rest, aggressive grip texture, adjustable mag strap for 15 or 17-round mags, built-in compensator, and direct RMR/Delta Point Pro mounting without adapters. He concludes by promoting Vigilance Elite gummy bears and encouraging viewers to use the Glacier privacy app.

Key Insights
- Ryan argues that the SIG Sauer P365's revolutionary design was created by designing the magazine first (double-stack, 12-round capacity) and then building the firearm around it, which he credits with making subcompact carry guns less snappy and more controllable than single-stack competitors.
- Ryan claims that data brokers and app spying led to intimate product advertisements being shown to his in-laws, motivating him to develop the Glacier app to prevent personal behavioral data from being harvested and sold to advertisers.
- Ryan states that his Rolex watch served a dual practical purpose during CIA contracting work: it was valuable enough to trade for vehicles or assistance in emergency escape situations, and was worn internationally across multiple countries as a reliable investment asset.
- Ryan argues that most people carry tourniquets without knowing how to use them, and emphasizes through a personal account that improper training is 'pathetic' and can cost lives—he cites an example where a team member's tourniquet saved an elderly woman's life from a femoral artery bleed.
- Ryan claims that the unreleased SIG Sauer P385 is the first firearm of its kind to exist outside the factory and represents 'perfection' in subcompact concealed carry design, with features like the integrated gas pedal and compensator not previously available in this class.
- Ryan reveals that he has shifted from being attached to sentimental items to deliberately passing them to people on his show to ensure they have 'good homes,' citing examples like giving Christian Craighead a blessed crucifix after receiving it from his nightstand.
- Ryan explains that he avoids all public Wi-Fi networks (airports, hotels, restaurants, airlines) because scammers set up fake networks to steal identity information, which is why he travels with the Glacier secure VPN Wi-Fi box.
- Ryan argues that carrying cash (he keeps a couple hundred dollars) is essential for 'getting out of or into situations,' and combines it with high-value, universally recognized assets like Bitcoin wallets and Rolex watches to have multiple negotiation tools.
