Real men dont use a fanny pack

I am pretty much long past caring what anyone thinks of my orientation or fashion sense.

Real men carry whatever the hell they want to and don't spend a lot of time wondering what everybody else thinks!

although i do have to admit im still not completely comfortable with it and i feel better when im carrying IWB.

but many times its just so practical,comfortable,and convenient..."real men" do what works and dont worry about the mass psychosis that is fashion.

besides mines not a "fanny pack"...its a Hawke Micro Gunpack:cool:(pics in #21 here http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298519)!
 
Fanny Pack Alternative

The Safepacker is the epitome of "hide in plain sight". It was specifically designed NOT to look like a holster, and in my experience the only people who recognize it for what it actually is are those who are familiar with one or own one. Tote your gun in one and it will be invisible to most folks, cops included. I use one for my Glock 27 and a spare magazine. The gun doesn't print, and the Safepacker's shape is innocuous -- and perhaps a little geeky. But that's the way I prefer it.... geeks are not thought of as packing heat. With casual dress, the Safepacker looks as if it could be carrying anything -- camera, cell phone, wallet, extra eye glasses; and if asked, I just say it's a "gear bag". No one has ever questioned it further. And, I almost forgot... with the velcro -fastened side, drawing the gun is fast. I wouldn't use a Safepacker with a business suit, but with jeans or cargo shorts, it's great.
 
Well, TP was nice enough to send me his, and, I haven't used it yet. It's not very well setup for getting to the gun, but, it's much more stylish then the two I have that work.

I gave up off body carry after a really horrible incident happened in Half Moon Bay. A woman, pretty much in a witness protection setup, thanks to a psycho ex, had a CCW. She had forgot to renew it, and, had carried her gun in a purse. She left the purse at Safeway, the people called the police, and, they plastered it all over the local papers. I think it eventually all went away, but, now psychoman knew where she was, and, she had to move again.

I forget stuff. I forget I've got my 357 360PD in my pocket, though thunderwear makes it hard to forget you are carrying a heavy gun, still...

After reading this thread, I might use the fanny pack as a decoy, to carry stuff like cheap reading glasses, water etc. nothing valuable.

I can't tell you how many times I forget my glasses, and, I'm not going to do that with a gun...
 
actual experience

Bad guys (mostly) know what a fanny pack looks like, and what it can hold.

Like a sign saying to them "Get yer shots here. If you dare".
Even when it's empty.....

I own many holsters, but only a few look like holsters, ay?




(Currently residing in fanny-pack: one GP100 w/two speedloaders).

You sure it is "actual experience"?

Have you ever heard of someone getting shot prophylactically by a criminal just because he was wearing a fanny pack?
 
Never ceases to amaze me how some people can come up with the most unlikely scenario to back up an idea. I never once heard on the news, "The victim was shot for his fanny pack."

Seriously, Paris Hiltons purse gets manlier if you put the right gun in it.
 
+ 1 on the Versipak Jumbo. Ive used it on multiple occasions. Most sheeple are oblivious anyway and take no notice of printing let alone bags. The ones who are cognisant and know what you have in there are the ones who are also packing. If they are baddies, they know to move on to other easier targets. If they are other CHL holders then its a moot issue. Its a win-win IMO.
 
"Real men don't use a fanny pack."

No, they don't.

They deploy utilizing modern-day possibles bags crafted of leather or nylon.
 
hey the maxpedition stuff is pretty cool.....im a gear freak and i love my jumbo versipack. I dont wear it all the time, but definitely in any outdoor setting. Usually i just have all my gear in it and carry it to the car and leave it there.....if you love packs and bags and gadgets you need to check out their website.....stuff is bulletproof (not literally) and very well put together
