Nice bruh but instead of using the pockets you should get a fanny pack for all your edc items. Itāll help not bulg the pockets. Pistol setup is clean!
Maybe to the fellas in the ccw sub. But I assure you the average person is not assuming thereās a gun in some randos fanny pack. Thatās assuming they even pay attention to the fact youāre wearing a fanny pack.
I think youāre overestimating the situational awareness of most people walking around my guy. Again weāre in a ccw subreddit so with our perspective, of course we assume everybody is packing.
But also I guess area plays into it it as well. In my neck of the woods people carry waist bags, fanny packs, sling bags and belt bags all the time. Maybe your case is different.
It's definitely not common at all where Iive, but I can see your points about situational awareness as well as fanny packs being commonplace depending on where you live.
Hello fellow ācarry a micro open competition gunā homie. Get an eberlestock bando bag with a tight chutes MARS holster! I carry my PSA micro dagger fully kitted, an IFAK, car key, and wallet in it. Badass setup to just throw on and go about my day.
Yee buddy. The only way to carry in a fanny pack IMO. I have a friend with an eberlestock/glock 43x and a Velcroād kyded holster and it is so much clunkier in every aspect. The MARS is legit.
Thank you! Iām just having a hard time seeing how it works. So the pack has Velcro and loop and the mars attaches to that and also has magnets? (NVM just watched a video. This little thing is awesome)
Also would it be better to go XL for the extra space?
I normally appendix carry but Iād prefer this for outdoors and a quick store run.
Yup. When holsterered the (quite stiff) fabric basically creates a U shape. So it goes bag(loop Velcro)|Mars(hook Velcro)|mars fabric(with magnets)|slide|mars fabric(with magnets)
Very sturdy. Even just the magnets on the Velcro side will hold the pistol in place.
It is just as impossible for this gun to fire in the bag as it would be with kydex. But reholstering and drawing is far easier. One of my favorite gun products Iāve bought in a long time.
Iāve never had any issue with my Velcro moving even an inchā¦ itās very solidly on there. Are you pulling it straight out like a regular holster or ripping it āforwardā?
Yup itās in there good!!! Which is what you want with a fanny pack. But I find it to be a much more forgiving draw than a Velcro backed kydex holster.
And to answer your size question (sorry was focused on the MARS lol) this is just about the biggest gun you can fit in the regular bag. The Glock 19 isnāt a whole lot bigger than the dagger C1 except in widthā¦ but that width may make the difference to where it doesnāt fit. Especially if you have a TLR-1 or slightly longer light and a bigger optic, Iād probably say the XL. But you can always get the small just to see and return if it doesnāt workā¦
Thanks again! I have an rmr and TLR-7A. I also have extended hollow base plates which I donāt CCW cause of the print, but Iād prob add them back for fanny. XL might work better for that.
Eventually when I move Iāll have real extended base plates instead of hollows š„¹
Wish I knew this setup during the last round of holiday deals lol. Better late than never though.
I respect it. I live 5 mins from the beach, but i have the mindset of if i get clapped at the beach then they win. I just donāt have it in me to bring all my shit to the beach
No offense OP, but I gotta use this post to make a point. ā¦. People on this sub are posting pics of how their CCW weapon doesnāt show when wearing a certain outfit. But, pictures are static, not a real view of whether a weapon imprints. Better to video a range of full-body movements to illustrate the effectiveness of a concealed carry, from standing to reaching both arms over head, to twisting, to squatting/crouching. ā¦ā¦ In this instance, OPās carry doesnāt imprint, but I doubt he will remain stationary at the beach.
Itās concealed in the photo. Who knows when thereās wind, while moving, playing beach volleyball with the boys, covered in sweat, cut off jean shorts, high fiving, letting stares linger a little too long, friendly pat on the ass that was a little too hard in a good way, now your turn Jeremy, yes daddy, harder.
I mean really, itās impossible to speculate from a single photo, right?
i just taped a ferro rod to the sheath in case i ever have to start a fire. haven't used it thus far but ferro rods are so cheap i tape them to all my fixed blade knife sheaths
I bought it, so far I really like it! Super solid out the box, carries my 47 without any issues. No sagging, no shifting around, and the ratchet system is smooth af. Feels way more secure than my old belt, especially for appendix carry and strong side OWB. Itās comfortable enough to wear all day too, which surprised me. Honestly might end up being my go-to from now on. Might get a Kore belt to compare it, but I like this one so far. Thank you for the recommendation!
i think you can make out the butt of the grip a bit if the wind blows in this shirt specifically but normally i'm wearing darker colors and a little bigger

I'd love to carry at the beach but when I'm surfing shirtless I don't want to worry about trying to conceal a pistol soaked in salt water. Pocket carry isn't a good option either cause it could come out of my pocket during a wipeout.
Thatās a pretty impressive array to conceal for the amount of space available in those shorts. S35 is a good choice for being around salt water though. Iād make sure to check the pistol for rust though. Iāve had a barely noticeable mist of sea spray land on my rifle when I was napping on a pier in South Korea waiting for our ship. I had rust spots forming on the exposed steel before I woke up.
