Any of you distinguished gentlemen CC in a fanny pack? I was looking into doing so but the available products are either zippered (yeah good luck with that if you need your gun) or mallninja looking (muh molle webbing and velcro)/ungodly expensive (pic related). I like to stand up paddle board during the summer and I want to fanny pack carry because I like to leave my car behind and take my bike to the lake with my board on a rack, it's good exercise and fresh air time.

I carried one of these guys, a Cotopaxi hip pack thing, at a convention once.
The outer "pocket" is completely open air so i just toss a gun, usually my p365 but sometimes a revolver, in there.
Sure, if i were to start breakdancing in public my gun would fall out but otherwise its fine and it comes in a ton of dumb camping/hiking colors instead of tactical shit.

Funfact: i lost my wallet cause it fell out or got pickpocketed or i just misplaced it or something, but my gun was fine. If you wear it on your hip tight enough its secure enough.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I was looking at old convention/event swag on ebay to see if I could just sew something to a completely inconspicuous fanny pack but most of them have really flimsy straps and are zipper only, no velcro or mag closure pouches.

Just mexican carry or pocket carry it bro maybe a bellyband or ankle holster if you insist on keeping your pockets empty

What do you think I'm wearing while I'm riding a bike down the trail from my house to the lake in the summer to go paddleboarding, dumbass? It's called a bathing suit and a t-shirt, or no shirt at all.

>>63828781
NEET detected. Only someone who never leaves the house would think that you can pocket carry in a swimsuit while riding a bike or would wear an ankle holster during any summer activity at all.

no that shits gay af

>>63828824
Au contraire, bitches love going paddleboarding and aren't monkeybrained enough to think a fanny pack is unusual while doing so. It's very common for surfers and paddleboarders to use fanny packs where I'm from.

>>63828424 (OP)
Carrying in a fanny pack is worse than how spics 'pack they glickies' in some saggy pants and I say that as someone who bought a tactical fanny pack and wear it daily for keeping my stuff in, get a good kydex holster for your sidearm like a man

>>63828816
>Wearing a swimsuit
>But also wearing a fanny pack
?

>>63828424 (OP)
I’ve been a fan of my pacsafe crossbody bag. 2.5L volume is enough for a full-size handgun, snacks, and space to get my hand in quickly.

I prefer having zippers. If you don’t want them you can simply leave them undone. But I’m always adjusting based on circumstance.

>>63828851
I don't understand how you'd find that confusing at all. What would you wear while paddleboarding? 5.11 tacticool pants with a duty belt?

>>63828424 (OP)
Lack of zipper, makes it more difficult. Personally I just use a normal one in practice, unzipping it. The same way I’ve practiced getting a shirt or jacket out of the way for a conventional draw..
>>63828837
Are you retarded?

>ankle holster

kek I wish we had a drawfag here to draw this nigga wearing a fucking ankle holster while doing this. Are you from the moon or something?

>>63828855
Whoops. Pacsafe calls their non-retarded looking crossbody bags “slings”

>>63828859
Have you seen some of the “Greyman”™ threads on this board?

More to look at, appreciate it.

>>63828871
I have a memory of a fanny pack but with a velcro or magnet pouch that you can just stick your hand into and rip it open as you pull the gun out instead of a zipper, with a velcro attachment for a holster inside. It seems like that exists because I saw it somewhere once but I can't find it anymore.

>>63828837
Sure I'll just grab a tenicor holster and my full size next time I go out in my swimsuit and flip flops, what was I thinking?

>>63828424 (OP)
I've got a Tommys Gun Pack I use once in a while. It's got a quick release zipper. Too bad they went out of business.

>>63828424 (OP)
I carry a full sized 1911 +2 clips and i have never gotten as much as a pat down in most places, including Chicago.

fuck. I miss when /k/ was go innawoods instead of yap about youtubers and never leave the fucking house.

>>63828859
Shorts? Either way, you probably don't want to go in the water

>>63829028
Sometimes you just wind up in the water while paddle boarding, anon. And if it's a planned swim
>take off the pack and leave it on the board
>get in the water
>put it back on when you get out
It's really pretty simple to understand. You should try it sometime, get out more and enjoy some nature

>>63828424 (OP)
Fanny packs are gay as fuck, so I used to wear them, but now that all these niggers are wearing them I stopped. Because I may be a faggot but I'm not a niggerfaggot.

>>63828424 (OP)
I use a fanny pack and it's fine. Zippers are fine you'll never draw in anger anyway its good enough. Literally any fanny works. I have one from whatever brand that has a lizard on it.

Alternatively you can use a velcro belt, like an inner belt for a battle/war belt, and just wear that around your waist under your shorts. Its not that uncomfortable but I wouldn't hike in it. The only hiking strategy is a fanny, open carry, or something built into your pack or some shit because anything else will be painfully uncomfortable and will cause actual injurie and trar your skin off.

>>63828859

anon, please wear more clothing when you're going to be in the sun for so long. You're important to me and I don't want you to get skin cancer.

As an English fellow, I love that you Americans call it that. Over here 'Fanny' is a rather rude word for vagina, so you're calling it a 'Vagina pack'

I hike regularly. Just oil your gat up, get it wet, it won't melt I promise

Is 945 Tactical good? I hear mixed things

>>63828424 (OP)
I do it sometimes when i cant be assed to wear a belt but also dont want to pocket carry. after fucking with it a bit i think the zipper really isnt the problem, you can do that surprisingly quick. I would suggest taking off one of the zipper tassel things though so you just have the one to grab. Grip it and rip it, pretty easy and fast to actually get to the gun. The real problem I've run in to is getting the gun out of the holster, common wisdom is to anchor it to the fanny pack with cordage and just draw it out, this is pretty unreliable in practice though and can require some "draw acrobatics" to ensure and im really not a fan of it. Stuff like the whole pack rotating instead of the gun coming out is a common occurence, even if it only sorta happens youre now doing weird shit like having to use your offhand to pull the holster off or starting your presentation from your arm pit area but a bit lower. Honestly found it better to just strip the holster quickly with the offhand. Sounds worse than it is though, you can put your off hand on the zipper and main hand right next to the bag, use your off hand to pull the zipper half open, grap grip of gun with main hand, rotate offhand down and its now naturally on the top of your holster, then draw. Maybe im just retarded though, its definitely not ideal but its what works for me when i need to fanny pack carry.

>>63828959
this is 4chan anon, everyone here is a gay

Pocket carry with sticky holster. Dial in the shorts to like a baggy cargo. Bonus points get pockets with zippers.

>>63828424 (OP)
I use one when doing work around the house or when hiking/fishing, but I always keep it front and center.
>good luck unzipping it
Not an issue at all. Just remove one of the 2 pull tabs on the zippers of the main compartment, add heatshrink to the remaining one to make it stiff and easy to grab, and then just train drawing from it. It's no slower than moving a shirt out of the way when carrying aiwb. They're the perfect size for an ifak+tq, pistol+spare mag, and some snacks. I wouldn't rock one in public though.

the amount of seethe that fanny packs cause some of the people here is amusing. and its always the same gay insult

>>63828424 (OP)
What fanny pack will fit a Glock 34 with an ACRO and a x300?

>>63828424 (OP)
Only when I'm running. I carry a S&W 638 in a vibrantly colored Patagonia fannypack (pic related). I don't wear it cross-body like I'm too cool 4 skool, I wear it like I used to in the 90s

>>63829061
I have sunscreen and wear a long sleeve sun shirt on clear days. Thanks for caring :)

I have my AIWB draw down one handed, I'd ideally like to be able to do that with a pack. We're on /k/ so I know people don't need to justify carrying here, we do it because we can, but one of the primary reasons I'm trying to work out a good way to carry for my short bike ride to the lake is that "people" have started dumping fighting dogs/bait dogs in the woods nearby and I encountered a random pit bull a couple of weeks ago while on my dirt bike and it tried to give chase. Never have seen that out here before, and don't know if I could outrun one on a bike that has a paddleboard on the side.

>>63829065
we know. you have a funny word for cigarettes too.

>>63829065

>>63828424 (OP)
I do. But I live in a city and don't stand out like a sore thumb for carrying one. Vertx sells something call "Vertx Tactigami" which you can use on your holsters to make them compatible with anything that velcro-backed. So I can basically fit any kydex holster I've got in my fanny pack. Current rotation includes:
>Smith and Wesson 19-9
>P10S
>Beretta 84

That's an interesting product. It isn't too hard to form kydex and make a custom velcro-backed holster though. I previously made a taco style holster that mounted to bent piece of flat stock with a hole drilled in it. It bolts to the support under the dash of my truck. Built in holster.

>>63835357
I pretty clearly explained why. Thanks for the bump I guess?
