Elite Survival Systems Liberty GunPack

[First I should point out that I added a strip of Velcro to the front phone flap. So don't complain when yours arrives without that.]I really like this bag. I have a Sneaky Pete holster too and I like it, but the Sneaky Pete can only carry my handgun; no extra magazine or anything else. I was a little worried that the Liberty Gun Pack would be too large to carry comfortably or would be so big that it looked out of place. When I wear it in the four o'clock position it doesn't get in my way when walking or sitting in my car. It is a little large but my spouse and teenage kid thought it looked like a fanny pack (apparently fanny packs are coming back, who knew?).As a holster I would say this bag is a fair compromise. Drawing from it takes practice but if you carry concealed you should practice with whatever holster you use anyway. My S&W M&P Shield fits perfectly with the 8 round magazine and the 7 round magazine then fits along side thanks to adjustable Velcro holders. Larger magazines don't fit as well. I'm not crazy about carrying a spare magazine on my right hip however, since if I needed it I would probably need to grab it with my left hand.After much trial and effort I found that I draw best from this holster if I leave the zippers opened to the corners, as opposed to drawn together. Even though there are tabs that you are supposed to grab and rip to quickly open the gun compartment, I do better grabbing the front of the bag itself with my thumb and quickly pulling downward. Leaving the compartment slightly open doesn't visually reveal the gun at all. In the future Elite Survival Systems might consider placing a pull tab in the middle because pulling from the middle unzips both sides more efficiently than pulling from a corner. At first I found the corner of the handgun's rear site would hang on the top right corner of the gun compartment as I drew, but after practicing drawing up and out rather than straight up, that is no longer a problem.In addition to the nice gun compartment there are two more zippered compartments. One on the front panel and one just forward of the gun compartment. You can carry a lot of stuff in these compartments. I have to remind myself not to carry too much or else this thing will start to weigh a ton. But I do have a good EDC kit fitting very nicely.The phone compartment is good. It holds larger phones easily but typical sized phones aren't loose or swallowed up. I nerded up the flap that holds the phone in by sewing some industrial strength Velcro to it for morale patches, goofy pins or patches that make the bag look more like a nerd bag and less like a gun pouch.The back of the pack is a nice molle webbing that works with any belt and lets the pack ride low. Packs that ride too high on my belt tend to lean out ward and when drawing tend to pull outward. The Liberty Gun Pack doesn't have that problem.I'm glad I bought the Liberty Gun Pack. If I could make any recommendations for improvement it would be to add the Velcro on the flap, make the zipper pull for the storage compartment smaller so that it would be easy to tell it apart from from the gun compartment zipper without looking and put a sturdy pull tap in the middle of the gun compartment.I give it a 5 star rating in spite of the suggested improvements because the bag is so close to perfect for me.

For reference I tried a Springfield XDS and Sig 365XL with a Holoson Red Dot in this item. Both firearms had an O light PL-mini 2. Both were a snug fit, not to affect draw if configured and practiced right, but there is room for the extra mag and nothing else. I am comparing to my Maxpedition CCW pouch JK-1 that I was using before and has some more room. The pull tabs work well and are positioned to make best use of opening the bag quickly. The difference is the front pouch and configuration. The front can carry anything else you may need as long as you flatten it out. There is not too much room if you are carrying in width in the front pouch or zipper pocket. It still leaves you that option though of placing flattened bandages or cards/thin wallet/charger cords in this extra space. Then on the front is a great smart phone pocket which I love. I put an Iphone pro max 12 in it. The thing I like is with the Iphone on the outside it kind of makes the pouch look legit as an EDC pocket/phone holder and not necessarily a CCW pouch. So I think it gets plus points for grey man angle and solid cover for your CCW firearm. Ditch your appendix carry pointing at your groin and carry on your side in a non-descript "phone carrier." I'm a big fan and recommend.

Was torn between this back and then the MTAC sling bag for a Conceal Carry style bag.This is going to be great for on motorcycles I feel like. Its big enough to hold your tool, wallet, phone and keys. Secure everything on your belt.BUT I carry a 43x with a Pinky extension on the stock magazines and its a tight fit in this bag, but its do able.

I have worn this pouch every day for over a month now, opening all the pockets several times a day. It has shown no wear at all. The elastic pouch is still tight and all of the zippers are still functioning perfectly. The only negative is the quick draw tab doesn't work well. The material of the tab is slick which makes it difficult to get a good grip.

I have been using my Liberty GunPack for nearly 2 years. I find that it is very well constructed and durable. I have also found this to be much more comfortable than carrying IWB. I am able to comfortably and securely carry my Micro Compact EDC handgun and a spare mag in the main compartment, and all my carry permits and a pen in the secondary pocket. I have a Galaxy 10 phone (yes, it's old) and it fits fine in the phone pouch.A very big advantage of carrying in this bag vs. IWB is that when going to the bathroom, you never need to worry about what to do with your handgun. I've heard stories about people who have left their guns in the stall, or even having had their guns grabbed from under the stall while in the IWB holster (and pants down near the floor). With this bag, and a quick release tactical belt, the gun remains securely, and the bag cannot be yanked away.After this nearly 2 years of use (I wear it pretty much every day, the whole day), there is some wear starting in a corner, and when it gets to be an issue, I will purchase a new one.

Best option between a fanny pack and IWB carry. My Sig P320 X compact fits ...snugly. The pouch wont take anything larger. I was able to use the included velcro internal holster strap to go around my Muddy River IWB holster providing much better retention and trigger guard. You could fit a wallet and a lot of other stuff in the additional pockets but I prefer to keep it minimal with a pen light size streamlight in the other compartment. With my cell phone in the external carrier no one gives it a second look. I like that you can carry it vertical or crossdraw sideways. Its the best carry Ive found for riding my motorcycle also. Well made, low profile and practical. Highly recomend.
