I know ..... but Fanny Packs............

[Lunga Bunga]

Hi All ~
Does anyone know of or use one to carry ? I need something to carry while walking my Doberman. It's so hot now I don't wear Jeans and can't use the Don Hume Holster I usually carry with. I carry Glocks, usually a G30 ..... 45. Any one have any suggestions on what brand to search for or if one type is better than another ?
Thanks ~
Tony.

I have a nylon sissy pack I use very rarely. In fact while at a fair last weekend I carried it with other stuff in it but carried my M&P on the hip. I can't remember to save my life the brand but it has three compartments the largest having a nylon holster with velcro straps and has an extra strap on the back to wrap around your belt for center support. It works really well, I just don't need it often since I wear denim shorts that match my jeans so my belt loops are always in the same place. Just make sure whichever one you get has a built in holster and the support strap on the back of the pouch, makes a big difference, don't just get a regular fanny pack. The DeSantis Gunny Sack is one of the better ones and the one I have is very similar but as I remember it cost much less.

I have tried the original Tommy's gun pack at a class and was impressed with it for j-frames. They are even on sale here:

Eagle Industries - Weapon Fanny Pack

You might look at this one...it is a little pricey, but worth it. I've had mine since 1998-99. It has a life-time guarantee and Eagle always honors it; it's also USA made.

FAG Bags

The correct nomenclature the FBI uses for a fanny pack is a "Fast Action Gun Bag" or as the guys in the field cail it a FAG BAG

Glock9

whats wrong with using a IWB holster and a nice loose hawaii style button up?

How about a SmartCarry holster? As long as you don't walk your dog while wearing spandex shorts, you would be fine...

Uh....doberman. You can carry bandaides for anyone that bugs your dog. I think a doberman is a pretty good deterrent.

I assume you are not talking about a min-pin.

what about a smaller gun? I carry a Kahr PM9 or Taurus 617 normally, but when I take my dog for a walk, I just slip my Taurus PT25 in a pocket and I'm good to go ... unless you live in Hell's Kitchen, should be all you need to ward off marauding snakes, skunks, etc. weighs nothing, cheap, 10 rds of .25 jhp ...

How about a safepacker holster?

I would actually consider one of these for regular carry. Until we get open carry it would work to hide the gun in plain sight so to speak.

Personally, when I spot a fanny pack, I immediately think the guy is carrying especially in a social setting. However, for walking a dog, maybe pick up one of the outdoor hiking fanny packs so it's less conspicuous?

Fanny packs are so much less popular than 10-15 years ago when they were relatively new, so I'm immediately suspicious when I spot one. Then again, I know what the squared-off, darker colored ones that happen to be somewhat larger than footprint of, say, a full-size 1911 will tend to contain...
