5.11 2 Banger Response Bag [Active Shooter - Go Bag] Law Enforcement Review

[@gunsho11b]

I bought one of these 2 banger bags after reviewing your video. I currently have a 5.11 bailout bag with the 3 M4 pouch configuration which I have been using as my patrol grab and go for several years. I'm currently experimenting at the range between the two. The one thing I like about the 2 banger bag is that although its much smaller, I'm finding that I can manuever around easier without it interfering with the stuff on my belt. I also like having the mag pouch compartments against the body. This in my opinion makes the bag feel better balanced. The other one has the mag pouches on the opposite side away from my body and feels like the bag is "pulling away" from me during extended periods. The only downside is that because it is smaller, it makes a tight fit for the stuff I have inside. I like the idea of mounting the tourniquet on the outside, as well as a set of flex cuffs. In mine I carry 2 Pmags, 2 glock 17 mags, a flashbang, an orion smoke signal flare, 6 chemlights, gerber multitool, tourniquet, an israeli bandage, and 2 pairs of rubber gloves. 5.11 also has a 4 banger bag which IMO is too large. Now if only 5.11 would come up with a "3 banger bag" that would be perfect!

[@robertcomments8648]

Good idea to "STAGE" tourniquets, open to easily fit over leg & arm, before attaching to gear. This will allow easy one hand application in case of injury to one hand or arm.

[@jk.smalls]

Also leave the windlass strap open, I was gonna comment the same thing

[@harveysimms9387]

Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us. Any knowledge we can obtain will help us all survive a potentially deadly situation. Your extra effort to protect and serve is greatly appreciated. You be careful out there. 😉👍

[@mjackstewart]

That looks like it would make a kick-ass range bag, too! I love how much thought and incredible detail you’ve given to all your gear videos. Your PD is very lucky to have you!

[@Six60Four]

Thank you, my man!

[@cgirl905]

I am putting together my go bag and had my tourniquet on the inside, not even thinking of rubber bands. Great idea! Thanks.

[@handyharvey]

Have mine going for about 5 years now. So durable and dependable. Works great as an every day carry bag. Great channel...keep it up.

[@Six60Four]

Thank you!!

[@wisemencompany]

Best review I have seen on the 2Banger . Well done !

[@Six60Four]

Awesome! Thank you very much! I never know if the vids I post will assist anyone in deciding etc.., so it is always good to hear someone enjoyed it.

[@richardhodges8998]

14 mins in I was sweating bullets thinking there wasn't gonna be a B-Roll. This actually perked my interest as a solid option for a slimmed down med bag, FD application.

[@Six60Four]

Richard Hodges lol, you know it by now! B Roll is life lol

[@richardhodges8998]

Six60Four this year I'm gonna start putting my own together. Got my bike, my drone, just need the warmer weather.

[@EverymanGear]

I love 5.11 but had never heard of this bag until I saw a guy selling one on OfferUp! Great bag. Originally I wanted to get one for a "go bag" but it's really better suited for Police. Maybe I'll put one together for my buddy. Anyway...not a whole lot of reviews out there....and yours was definitely the best. Very well done video!! Now I'm gonna go browse your others. Thanks for your service! 👍🏼🇺🇸🚔

[@Six60Four]

Thank you! I am glad this may have helped your decision!!

[@raycora7062]

Best review, I just ordered one yesterday to keep with med supply and a pair of ar mag.

[@izzuiman9319]

excellent review really help me to choose a properly what kind of bag suitable for my daily equipment to work

[@FREDSTATE]

Tip: Chapstick on your gun light will keep it from getting gunk on it while training.

[@RabbitLionRetreat]

Thanks LT! Very informative. Deff passing it on to some buddies i know.

[@Six60Four]

Barthel 8CS Awesome, Thank you! Hope it helps someone!

[@zilch7116]

Best thing you can do, is keep a plate carry with all the handgun magazines, rifle magazines and first aid to just grab and go, you can also setup a war belt to remove some of the weight

[@Layla_wolf141]

Great video sir. You really need to get sponsored by 511.

[@Six60Four]

Nikki Thompson lol, bring it on 5.11!

[@ChristopherBong]

Agreed

[@npd5748]

Like the idea of a rifle bag instead of shooter kit. Everyone should have one. Great videos

[@Six60Four]

NPD 574 Thanks 🙏 If you need your rifle - the risk goes up. That’s my logic.. not saying that bad things can’t happen otherwise though.

[@kelleystarling7473]

good video, have the bag myself, idea- rubber band the spare rifle mags in main pouch together, helps when finding under high stress, try to stand the bandage and mags up helps find them, also i added markers and chem lites in an active shooter event when coming across a wounded person that i clear i mark them for pickup and or to help other responding officers know that they were cleared. just a few ideas- love the channel

[@Six60Four]

Great ideas, thank you!!

[@SACBENT05]

Great vid....well thought out, and professional. Bought one for my CCW. Thanks.

[@9thGenerationCajun]

Gotta say this is the best review! Stay safe!

[@Six60Four]

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. Take care, brother.

[@emergtributesuk3819]

Epic Bro! Nice vid! You're truly a hero in the eyes of me. I look up to you as inspiration! You seriously are awesome! Keep up the great work and stay safe out there buddy!

[@Six60Four]

Taylor Orton/vlogs Wow, thank you! I really appreciate all of those kind words. That’s awesome!

[@AgavePiper]

I agree it’s your comment about quality. I purchased a pair of denim dark wash jeans. The ink would bleed on my boots and I blew out the crotch. I hope they have stepped it up in the jeans compartment within the last few years

[@perrytheplatypus7403]

Great video, thank you for taking the time to put it together. Great quality of video, good information, well laid out and explained. I’m glad you did a portion showing deployment and body wear. Keep up the good work.

[@samuelgeckler5933]

Just came across your videos. Great content!

[@DESOLATERSBYAKUGAN]

You could add an armor panel in the back of the mesh pocket. Not a huge piece of armor, but still has some application. Just an idea, good vid.

[@likeasir3015]

Hey man loving your content. Would you possibly be able to do a video on your favorite set of handcuffs, along with handcuffing techniques? As a new officer Im always looking for ways to improve and it seems that everyone has different techniques when it comes to handcuffing, along with favorite handcuff brands. Thank you!

[@Six60Four]

Like A Sir Absolutely! That’s a great idea. Thanks for mentioning that.

[@likeasir3015]

Six60Four Awesome! I Look forward to watching!

[@jg3693]

Great presentation!

[@connorvitek99]

Again with another great video. Keep it up brother.

[@Six60Four]

Connor Vitek Thank you! Trying to keep the coverage relevant. I appreciate the support!

[@beccaria1579]

I'd love to see a video on your background. Things like your degree, what college you went to, what divisions you were involved in as an officer, military experience, etc. Mainly because I'm curious about how you reached the rank of lieutenant at such a young age. but I'd also like to get to know the officer behind the video and badge.

[@Six60Four]

BFGginger I am planning a video similar to that. Just trying to figure out how to put it together without violating any agreements :) It’s coming though!

[@beccaria1579]

thank you for the response, love your videos. I look forward to it.

[@patmyway1270]

Great review!

[@Six60Four]

Thank you! Glad to contribute what I can.

[@jinggoypaulino8735]

the best ever review ive seen..

[@101Navyseals]

You need to add some gloves to that. Spare gloves never hurt. Also I’d throw in an extra optic battery and light battery just in case.

[@karnage7874]

Should keep the tourniquet time strap open because it will cost precious seconds under pressure to open.

[@logancrooks4780]

Your tourniquet needs to be staged with the time tab undone. You'll thank me if you ever have to apply it. Think about what removing and then replacing the time tab under stress entails.

[@zilch7116]

Time tab is useless, carry a sharpie and write the time on a limb or better yet the forehead

[@logancrooks4780]

@@zilch7116 that's not the point. It is trapping the windlass. Wasting time.

[@bestjobieverhad9584]

@@logancrooks4780 you just need rubber bands that will snap. You can use blood to put the time (in last ditch)

[@adrianbalagtas9451]

Awesome Review, some review I find on the other channels are lacking in details and short on display time of the 2 banger Bag 👍 👍

[@Six60Four]

Thank you!!!!

[@tomashernandez3039]

Put together 2 small wound ziplocks, with large gauze, that way you can give to the i jures, and keep moving.

[@mrchaparro8168]

Nice setup stay safe

[@steelontarget]

That's cool and all but I use mine as a murse lmao. I use the mag holders as pockets for my personal cell and work cell.

[@Joe.dirt7909]

Nice review... I’ve been looking to add the same bag to my unit. NC LEO (subscriber)

[@zilch7116]

Don’t need it, run a gun light on your rifle, keep the rifle in patrol ready position(bolt back/safety on/ magazine in), keep a plate carrier with everything you need and have it a slight bit bigger to fit over your current vest and uniform, and your good to go, fumbling with a bag is bad news and chances are u won’t use it, keep the stuff on your body and make sure the armory can stop the rifle your using

[@Six60Four]

There is no one way to do anything. Your idea is great. What if you do have time? What if you aren't being shot at and just need to help a GSW victim because you arrived before medics? Please go somewhere else with your "expertise".

[@shadowstalker1140]

Great video

[@Six60Four]

Shadow_stalker1 thank you!! Looking forward to making more!

[@Babygirlly555]

This is all very cool.

[@Six60Four]

Thank you, I appreciate it!!

[@sdfijon]

Looks like a good bag. Would like to suggest a chest seal to possibly add to your first aid pocket of the bag, didn't see one unless I missed it.

[@aronnovo9738]

you should prep your tourniquets so they are ready to go!

[@MatthewSmith-ey6ot]

I just ordered one for my unit but I’d like those patches.

[@1ofyouforme]

Hey just an idea, you could put some chest seals and a nasopharyngeal airway in that mesh pocket on the back and it will still be flat.

[@Six60Four]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@kevinwilliams6266]

I thought about putting some snacks or a few small things to eat in the back

[@christopherpike7163]

What? Only 150 rifle rounds and 60 pistol rounds? You are not prepared. Or maybe if the police didn't miss 50-70% of their shots and trained a little more, you wouldn't have to parade around like Ohio is Kandahar. That's a No for me. Also, confusing an Olaes bandage with an Israeli bandage? Their design and the way they're used is completely different.

[@Pub2k4]

I'm still not a fan of 5.11's gear. I got a 5.11 seat organizer (I think I may have seen the same one in your patrol vehicle tour), and I have to say that was very disappointed with it. If I used more molle gear, I might like it better, but that's not the case for now.

[@Six60Four]

Publius2k4 Productions That’s where I was for awhile. 5.11 was bought and sold so many times early in its life. I think the parent company now does not mess with them too much so the R&D has been a little more consistent

[@Pub2k4]

I think at one point I heard my shift supervisor say something along the lines of "If Hi-Point decided to make tactical clothing, it would say 5.11 on it."

[@Just_Chuck_It]

I too have been utilizing the 2 banger for my grab and go patrol rifle/medical support kit. I keep it chocked full of medical (more than likely what will be used.) 2 rifle mags and 1 extra pistol mag. I too keep flex restraints on the outside. (again more likely to be used realistically). The only thing I do not agree with in this video is the placement of the tourniquet (TQ). TQ's are made of nylon, and nylon is subject to UV deterioration. The reason TQ's are usually kept in a pouch or a protective cover, is for that very reason. Under normal use nylon will be fine being exposed to UV light. However, if you take that same nylon and subject it to extreme stress, like twisting, binding, and stretching, as a TQ will be subjected to. If the nylon has been exposed enough to UV light over time, it will be more prone to breaking, tearing, or separating. And with a TQ, we cannot have any of those things happen. TQ's are an important life saving tool. And if/when we will have to use one, it will be under the worse of conditions. In this kind of environment, Murphy's Law always prevails, so why would we introduce an additional failure. Placing the TQ in pouch which covers the TQ will reduce/eliminate the potential for the deterioration of the nylon. And with a piece of gear such a TQ, which may never be used for years, why would you not want to keep it in the best possible condition? Lots of options on the market for TQ pouches. Many of them either have a logo for TQ (litterally it's "TQ") or they have Velcro patch for the placement of such label. Any properly trained personal should be able to easily identify a TQ even if it is in a pouch. And if your commanding officers are worth thier salt, you will be doing lots of training with other agencies which operate in your region and that you have mutual aid agreements. And identifying/standardizing life saving equipment will be something that is implemented/covered under said training.

[@Jcasillas49]

What flashlight and holster are you using? Great review on the bag I'm definitely getting one now. Thanks for making the video. Stay safe out there!

[@bluelinepatrol1329]

HI i leave in FRANCE What is the brand of your jacket ? It s a sofshell jacket ? Thanks this video is very good the best review of this bag of 5.11 i like it 😎💪👍

[@Six60Four]

I believe the jacket is Blauer. Thank you for the feedback!

[@bluelinepatrol1329]

Six60Four thanks i have à second question what is the color of your 2 banger bag ?? Black or double tap ( grey ) ????

[@DanhNguyenster64]

If i were a cop id grab my rifle and my rifle body armor. All this gear would be a velcro tear off kit on my weak hand thigh or behind me on my body armor.

[@dylanwinter8406]

Can you do a video describing your career and former positions and your current position in your department?

[@JS-zo3bu]

He is currently a swat Lieutenant, his department calls it SERT (State Emergency Responde Team) or (Special Emergency Response Team). Hopes this kinda gives you a little mind set about his day to day work. But I would recommend following him on Instagram and DM him for fast results. But I could answer most questions for y’all. Any department regs would have to go to him.... (and for Six please correct me if I am wrong, but I only answered so it would take that much time from your family life or your break time)

[@dylanwinter8406]

Jacob Sully. Thank you Jacob for the response! I sure will follow Nick on social media.

[@Six60Four]

That’s in the worlds, Dylan. Just waiting for the right opportunity to do so. I can’t get too specific just because I want to make sure I follow guidelines, but I do have it planned. Stay tuned!

[@dylanwinter8406]

Six60Four Awesome. Thank you for the response

[@ryleys9947]

Can you do a video on your rifle?

That is coming - as soon as a break in the weather hits I will be able to finish the footage.

[@kjazure]

Respectfully, your tq isn't properly stagged

[@txpacket]

Question (coulda missed it, I admit to having a multitasking issue) do y’all carry Narcan and if so, is that something in your first aid kit that’s in your LR bag?

[@Six60Four]

txpacket We do carry Narcan. I keep mine on my gear bag, so long as it doesn’t get cold, then I take it inside.

[@winternight6689]

Dear Six60Four, can you remove the M4 magazine holders from the rear compartment and use that space to conceal carry a pistol with a velcro holster? Thanks.

[@bluelinepatrol1329]

Hi please what is the color of the bag grey or black ??? 🇫🇷

[@Six60Four]

Double Tap Grey

[@voodoo2GPC]

Still debating between getting this one and the larger 4 banger as a go bag. Any experience with the larger version of this thing?

[@Six60Four]

Ross Simonov I actually did have the 4 banger - should have mentioned that. Not a bad item, just too big for me. My goal was portability and ease of use. It was just a little too big and exited the realm of what I was looking for.

[@voodoo2GPC]

I’m not sure where we source ours (we use an evidence supply distributor), but I do know that if you search “black latex gloves” on amazon you will get plenty of options.

Does your rifle has an integrated silencer on it?

[@Six60Four]

Timothy Courtemanche nope, that’s a muzzle brake. It’s from Spikes Tactical.

[@codypausch1412]

Why do cops use red interior lights?

[@andyrockism]

Red lights don't affect your night vision as much, and so their eyes dont have to adjust to the dark.

[@codypausch1412]

Makes sense

[@Joe.dirt7909]

Doesn’t light you up as bad (not as bright)

[@JS-zo3bu]

In the state of Ohio, which is where his department is based in. We do use interior lights but only for the back of the vehicle. There are no slick top police vehicles in the state of Ohio. There are also no unmarked patrol vehicles. Hope this helps
