Stick your holster in this-I do. You can use the regular size for the S&W snubby.

Only if you want the best. I think the right side standard version is the better CCW for a right handed person.

How about the Safepacker?

Not quite what your talking about, but these are very helpful.
Here is the bob (bail out bag) I carry everyday. It is not good for paperwork though. But I love that it holds large nalgene bottles. Medication, first aid, light, knife, compass, local map, 1911, extra mags, sanitary wipes, etc. It's great cause I drive different vehicles often, and I always have my stuff.

My boss has had one of these for years and loves it. It is geared for also carrying paperwork well:

If I wanted something to carry on my person it would be this

I have one of these by Rothco. Site says it's their "2327 VENTURER EXCURSION ORGANIZER BAG"
I'd gotten it not too long ago...it has a plain OD strap, and I also put it in the wash a few times to "vintage" it, so it looks more weatherbeaten now, and more Old Navy than surplus.
It hangs low on the hip like a small messenger bag, and is just large enough to hold a subcompact like an XD, PT145, and most Glocks. I usually have an iPod nano and a canvas cellphone case clipped to the strap across the chest, so it blends right in with the rest of the hip-urban-styles crowd.
I also put a pre-beaten-up one of these on it, bonus points if recognized.

Man-bag? Carrying a bag is my wife's thing, not mine. :barf:
I just ordered a Camelbak Goblin, for my deep concealment needs.

'Wolf's and gunner's are about the only ones so far that don't scream I AM CARRYING A FIREARM!!!!!!!!
Also, I tend to refer to the sort of thing I showed as a "satchel". Male soldiers, messengers, hunters and travellers have worn satchels for thousands of years to hold extra junk they may be carrying.
In fact, the word itself is derived from the Old English sachel, itself a derivation of the Latin saccellus, a diminutive of saccus, or bag. As in...it's a small bag.
We sort of went through a period of less-carried for men in the 20th century, and have just returned to how things were before. In the early 20th century, trousers were used to carry a wallet, comb, perhaps a key or two. A few cigarettes in a slim art-deco chrome case if they smoked, and a thin book of matches. That was it. Before that, people carried a tinderbox, a packet of tobacco and pipe if they smoked, often a utility knife of some sort, travelling papers, a good bit of coins, and perhaps some provisions like hardtack or jerky. If they had a revolver or derringer, extra shot, caps, powder, and beeswax or some extra paper cartridges, too.
Now we carry car keys, a wallet with lots more in it than a few banknotes, a cellphone, maybe a PDA or iPod, flash drives, all of that. Realistically, a satchel or messenger bag is returning to our roots of carrying a lot of junk...without saggy, bulky pockets full of junk that look really, really bad for anyone.

Man Bag
I have used a "Barbour" bag to carry essentials for some time. It's been adequate but nothing more. Recently I designed a mans shoulder bag that will carry any pistol, two magazines, pepper spray, folding knife in the main compartment. With two flap pockets on the front for emergency kit, first aid kit, and perhaps your check book etc. The bag is only 2" thick with the bellows front pockets to be 1" thick. The bag will have enough "body" to maintain it's shape. That is the great flaw of the "Barbour" I carry now - it's too "floppy" (even though I made a custom foam insert for the above mentioned items). I am having the prototype custom made and should have it in about 3-4 weeks. If it seems viable I'll have an order made and try to market a few. If anyone is interested in pictures, information, etc. just e-mail me off line at mes228@msn.com and I'll send you some when the prototype is delivered. I've tried every type of carry conceivable and for me the shoulder bag is without question the way I want to go. I believe what I'm having made will out class everything I'm aware of. I am thinking about supplying the bag with the Survival tin issued to the British SAS, small First Aid Kit, in one front pocket. And 17% Pepper Spray, and a Benchmade, Cold Steel or other quality folder in the main compartment. If it's not a marketable item I'll just use the prototype for myself. Also it may have a zipper in the flap at the top of the bag for "instant" pistol access (flap comes half way down the front
of the bag and has 2 quick release military buckles). I felt that having to un-buckle the snaps might take too long in an emergency and thus the zipper allowing instant access to the pistol, magazines, knife, Pepper Spray in the main compartment. If this is an improper post I apologize.

I wander how much of an issue that really is. Most of the general public "sheeple" have no idea about anything. Granted, if I have on 511 pants and 511 vest and black boots, that makes a real loud signal. But, I'm not too worried about people seeing a maxpedition jumbo pack and "know" that I am carrying.
I wonder if a gang banger getting ready to commit a crime thinks much about the maxpedition.
Maybe I am underestimating the importance of this??

If I need to carry a "man bag" it would be a real man bag. Sometihing like a photographers Bogen tripod bag to carry the Mossy 500.

Wow, great minds think alike! But, if I were carrying a golf bag I would just carry the Mossy 500 and the CZ550 375 H&H. The 375 is great for everything from chimpmunks to polar bears!
Living in the mountains in Colorado, the bears have been the biggest problem. Can you imagine the ridicule from neighbors if I cut firewood while pulling a golf bag behind me? It would not be as bad as wearing a man purse though!

Have the P7 in hand in the pic; there's a pocket running pretty much the height and width of the bag on the back side with a single small velcro fastener in the center to help keep it from gapping open.
About halfway between a messenger bag, laptop case and soft-side briefcase, IMO. Cost me something like $20 at the local Sportsman's Warehouse not too long ago on closeout. I figure between the kinda girlie look and the likelihood that the granola and Birkenstock crowd will recognize the Kelty name from backpacks/tents, the concerns that there's mebbe a gun in there will be minimized....even with the "scary biker dude" shaved head, long goatee and USMC tat on the shoulder.
Biggest problem is that my workplace is posted and I use this bag on a regular basis when walking there and back (1.5 miles each way). So, no gun in it most of the time. :barf: However, the bag also has plenty of room for lunch and a book for breaktime, safety glasses, MP3 player, batteries, cell phone, Surefire light, "dog spray"
and a raincoat in case the weather goes sour for the trek home.
