[@MCarcheryHunting]

IMO the people who pick up on other’s CCW are usually themselves CCWs. Most Karens wont notice and find something else to complain about. I like the fanny pack!

[@richardhansen342]

White bearded ole man means wahmen usually ignore you useless it's part of their job.

[@rushthezeppelin]

I think some criminals are wise enough to pick up on it now too.

[@Mike___Kilo]

@@rushthezeppelin Maybe but by and large nobody really notices.

[@Eberlestock]

Thank you for the great overview of your set up with the Bando!

[@andrewmconrad]

Great product!

[@reapingpunish69]

That’s what I love about this very incognito. A lot of the tactical companies make it too obvious that you’re carrying a gun with adding camo.

[@anthonym80]

I have the same bag. Looking to see how to secure the pistol in there. What holster setup did you use ?? I can see it’s soft and probably Velcro ??

[@LoneMouser]

SOE Gear FUPA superior product IMHO and made in USA. I prefer it for the additional attachment points and it does come with shoulder straps that can be attached when needed so it can be a fanny pack OR a chest rig which is does both equally well. Also, there are internal loops in the FUPA so a tab can be added to dangle outside for very quick deployment of your weapon. As most people are right handed, wish the Bando bag zippers went the other way except for the CCW compartment so there is no confusion. Bando bag does look like good size though.

[@watermann8200]

2 different schools of thought on Grey man vs more overt look with dress and more tactical look. Some say grey man will keep you from being targeted right off. Others say seeing someone who may be a threat to the bad guys plan may cause the incident to be avoided altogether.

[@andrewmconrad]

Luckily the average criminal is stupid and doesn't pay attention to those kind of details. If a highly skilled operator were to target an establishment and survey the crowd first, then yes, they'll pick you out, but a criminal is looking for an obvious deterrent (like an armed guard). Nevertheless, I blend right in and with it packed the way I have it, it doesn't stand out

[@JonathanBaileyn2u]

Is this the XL? Or standard? Ty for the review.

[@andrewmconrad]

Regular. The XL wasn't released when I purchased these. Planning on getting the XL eventually though

[@Nathan.44-40]

Fantastic EDC load-out !! Thanks for the video Brother! Nate- (Ohio 🇺🇸💪✝️)

[@chipsawdust5816]

I was considering the Vertx SOCP as it is also well-reviewed but this one is about half the price, or at least $30 less in today's prices depending on what day you hit the amz site. I may have to add a velcro holster for it, but the amz site won't ship one to my wonderful blue state so I may have to drive "next door" to find one. And I've never heard anyone say they went wrong buying Eberlestock equipment. But I'm thinking the XL might fit my style a bit better, carry a few more IFAK items or whatever. That said, I don't want a suitcase on my waist...

[@stellatedodin656]

Just received m6 xl version after getting the normal size and finding it too small. The xl is not a huge bag. While more spacious for sure, its overall footprint is not substantially larger than the standard size…

[@lentztu]

I have both and like this more. The SOCP had too much material on the inside. (Smaller versions for both). I like the SOCP a lot too but use the bando more often

[@AntiGravityResearch2022]

I got one because I find it very annoying to carry, it gives it away when I have to adjust it before or after sitting, and I have to wear clothes that hide when I’m carrying in my belt. Now I love this thing because I’m no longer struggling to pull my wallet or keys out when I need them, my pockets don’t feel overloaded, and I can even carry my wife’s keys and phone and wallet because I’m actually just her glorified pack donkey. But now I’m her ultimate defense donkey too

[@andrewmconrad]

@@AntiGravityResearch2022 💯

[@TheWildGonzo]

Nice set up, scissors are a must and pliers are a must. I carry a Skeletool and micra with scissors in my Fanny pack. Be safe

[@kimt3817]

Will you do a video of drawing at the range with the Bando?

[@andrewmconrad]

Yes, I most definitely need to do that. Next time I go to the range I will

[@davem.2788]

Great video. Very organized and well thought out EDC. Love it. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Frankivitis]

Ordered one. Looks great. My question is with the Tactigami and the Sig setup. Is the material in the bag where the Sig and mag are attached to sturdy? I'm wondering if for support there should be a light plastic backing attached to velcro and then the pistol and mag?

[@tribalessence5909]

I have the XL, black, i like it, i have no issues with a hip bag, its convenient and i dont have any old stereotypes about a "fannie pack" its all a mindset, its nice looking, pouch infront of the carry area is great, its not meant to be any more or less than what it is, so if you want a hip bag this one is great, just get yourself a aftermarket velcro holster because the one it comes with isnt that great.

[@silverflash1675]

Do you think the Xmacro would fit in this?

[@andrewmconrad]

It "should" fit. You might not get a magazine in the back like I do. But when you add a red dot to the macro it's 6" high and might be too tall. I do plan on adding a red dot to my 365x and I have thought about getting the macro, so I do plan on trying different configurations in there. As someone else mentioned in the comment section, they did come out with an XL version of the bando bag to fit those larger frame guns.

[@AG-no1dq]

I think they recently came out with this bag in XL. You should do a comparison video.

[@andrewmconrad]

I'll probably get one in the near future

[@terryhopkins8059]

Hello, is the bag in the video the Standard or the XL version..?

[@jacobst.germaine6197]

I got a kydex holster from a company called Razco that has a large hook and loop backing and it's perfect in here, protects the trigger perfectly and it's great for drawing and re-holstering

[@andrewmconrad]

Thanks, I'll have to check them out

[@scooteractual]

Will the standard fit a Glock 19

[@diomedes39]

Yes

[@sarahdresler9776]

I have both a Glock 23 and a Walter P22. Would either of these fit in that conceal area with an extra mag? Or do you think the XL would be better?

[@andrewmconrad]

Glock would be tight without the extra mag. Walter would probably fit. I would go with the XL for the glock

[@JeffMiller-t3e]

Just ordered the bag

[@Joeylikecoffee]

Wow that actually looks good. Thanks for the review! I’ll consider that one.

[@spektr540hemi]

Back in 1989, I got my first butt/waist pack that had a hidden CCW pocket... EVERY one of these I see SCREAMS weapon to me !! Yes they are awesome and I still use them to this day. However, again, EVERYONE has a weapon in it in my eyes.

[@joec33]

I bought one for the same reason. At the price it’s a great deal. Not too big not too small

[@andrewmconrad]

Agreed, just the right size

[@Dwayne7834]

Thanks for sharing. Good information. 👍🇺🇸

[@andrewmconrad]

Thanks Dwayne

[@Ret64clutch]

I am of the "gray man" thought. To me "overt" might catch a bullet before you know it's a fight But to each their own.

[@coldcasewatchesccw7158]

Would love to have seen it on body and how you draw. Thanks.

[@andrewmconrad]

Coming soon. Next time I go to the range I'm going to practice with it

[@mboyle6]

Do you physically carry this or have it around your waste?

[@andrewmconrad]

@@mboyle6 around my waist

[@fernandomendoza4667]

I receive my today in the mail . I like the bag a lot more than the vertex socp. But I was let down completely because the belt is not that long . Doest not work as a sling bag . Wish belt be longer . Unfortunately can not use it . Wish they could create a solution because really love this bag .

[@TZOID08]

I know this was posted 3 months ago but they ship an extension with the XL version so you should see if the extension is available on their website.

[@jasonmonte3623]

Do you have a website for the firearm pocket holdder in that dept

[@andrewmconrad]

@@jasonmonte3623 the holster is from vertx. I did a review on that on the channel as well

[@jasonmonte3623]

Thank you

[@thetacticalape8852]

Vertx SOCP fanny pack is another great choice and they have slots in the back for a fixed blade.

[@Bill-y1j]

Did you get the regular or XL size?

[@andrewmconrad]

@@Bill-y1j regular

[@baktwista]

The Velcro that is holding the conceal came with the bag?

[@andrewmconrad]

@@baktwista the velcro is pretty solid. I haven't had it separate from the bag itself

[@baktwista]

Sorry, I didn’t phrase my question correctly. Did the attachment on the Velcro, the way you the conceal is attached, come with the bag?

[@andrewmconrad]

@@baktwista the velcro attached is vertx tactigami. Eberlestock supplies a velcro band that just covers the trigger. I wasn't a fan of that, so I got rid of it.

[@tendyedits1272]

Only thing it’s missing like the Vertx are pull cords for quick access. I think having to zip is too slow and awkward

[@andrewmconrad]

Agree 100%

[@tendyedits1272]

@@andrewmconrad they’re a couple I found but without testing them I’m not sure haha.

[@jgg12334]

How did you secure the TQ to the top of the flap? 3:04

[@andrewmconrad]

There's an elastic loop. Snug fit, but it fits and doesn't move

[@jck197]

What holster are you using?

[@kristenburkett4274]

I'm looking for my first bag and I really like this one. I think if i could find one like this with the quick drawing feature of the 945 i would have everything i'm looking for. I even like the color.

[@TheGoodDogTraining]

You can always sew a piece of nylon in the corner of the bag to create a quick release like the 945. Super easy. :)

[@whatheheck911]

To add, pick lock set

[@flexluthor1691]

Wouldve helped if u mentioned which size

County Comm 8" Ti Hooligan Forced Entry Tool - Titanium ~~~~and~~~ Adjustable Wrench - Titanium 4 Inch Small POM Pepper Spray 10% OC concentration, & 2M Scoville heat units ??

[@andrewmconrad]

I was thinking about some pepper spray. That 8" entry tool would be too big for this particular bag. I also thought about a small adjustable wrench, maybe in the future.

[@dannyamador2160]

Does it have the quick pull tabs similar to the 945 industries?

[@diegolainfiesta]

No

Ihave to work on my wallet and knife. I have the Streamlight edge. For knife, I'm looking at the Benchmade Claymore.

Casaual and doesn’t say I have a gun. Love it.

Precisely. Especially where people come to vacation and it's warm, plus the colors I purchased don't scream tactical. The camo, yes, the blue and gray, nope

[@coryhoggatt7691]

If you’re going to carry a CAT, stage it so you can apply it one-handed.

[@andrewmconrad]

I have practiced one handed application in shooting competitions along with one handed reloads. But good suggestion.

[@johnathanrmarsh]

Subscribed as soon as you said "Hopefully I never have to use this." A lot of creators could learn from that mentality.

[@andrewmconrad]

No one thinks about the mental ramifications about afterwards.

[@kylewood8327]

Not a fan of this type of carry at all! If you need your weapon, whether a gun or spray or knife, it’s too slow of an access. Hope nobody steals your bag cause then you’re screwed.

[@jeffdur1330]

Yeah I agree, I'd never carry my gun like that.

[@jacobst.germaine6197]

I carry appendix when I'm out and about, but this bag is nice when I'm jogging in my neighborhood. I don't love off body carry in crowded public places, so this fits a very specific use for me personally.

[@MikeCamposMortgage]

Too small. Barely holds my 43x and keys.

[@ztnupe8]

They make 2 sizes

[@paulstanley8088]

Great video. However, I decided not to buy this bag after reading all the comments on their web page. People have a horrible time with their quality control and customer service. I want to like this company (like 5.11), but they apparently use the same tactical mindset for CQB as they do for customer service. And those two skill sets don't mesh IMO.

[@JTWaylon]

You can give it whatever cool name you want to try to convince us there cool. But it’s nothing but a fanny pack. And hell no to fanny packs

[@Gunner-ll1zd]

Fanny pack 2024 = obvious ccw

[@andrewmconrad]

Not necessarily. The amount of people wearing fanny packs, especially down here in SWFL, is increasing exponentially. My daughter and all of her friends wear them, obviously not carrying. My wife wore her fanny pack to dinner last night. It just blends in in 2024

[@DaVinci740]

[@eddiekane1202]

Unfortunately these days fanny packs do scream firearm. Most people who carry know about these Fanny packs. I bought one for the backcountry so I don’t have to carry my ruck around after I set up camp. I have a chest holster for my G20 so I have the whole bando bag to use for whatever I happen to be doing

[@Lanolin410]

You lost me at carrying a fixed blade…

[@Surviveandthrive777]

Until someone runs up and steals it off u

[@andrewmconrad]

That's not happening. I wear it with the buckle and strap under my shirt. Someone looking at me from behind has no idea. Even if they wanted to cut the strap, they'd have to lift up my shirt

[@chrispewkreme]

I have worn a fanny pack every day for years. Never been an issue. You sound like the type that assumes the worst in any situation.

[@jeffdur1330]

Every one of these edc videos is the same. Everyone literally carries the exact same stuff. Geez dude, you're on here just trying to sell stuff.
