EDC Bags - Pt 1/5 - 5.11 Tactical LV10 Sling

www.1911syndicate.com
This 5 part series will be on EDC (every day carry) bags. Specifically bags that are very discreet and low profile. We start with the 5.11 Tactical LV10 Sling 13L. Honestly this bag was better than I expected from a relatively budget bag. The kydex holster and magazine inserts were made by RDR Gear. We've got 4 more parts coming to this series over the coming weeks, we think you'll see some familiar bags, and probably will get turned onto a couple you didn't know about as well.
And a company update for those interested, we are now ready to handle your real estate needs in Las Vegas and Fayetteville NC.
The 1911 Syndicate has a couple of divisions. First and foremost we are a real estate company. We primarily serve the shooting/military/law enforcement/hunting communities, but we'll help your granny too. We operate in a lot of states, hit us up through our site if you need help. Second, we are a content brand. Consider us the Rated R gun channel you never knew you needed. We're always looking for cool content ideas, reach out any time!

Although this is a year ago, the 5.11 logo cab be tucked via a little sleeve beneath the logo. The 5.11 store employee showed me the trick, so no cutting required. Great vid!!!

[@darrin114]

The 5.11 tag is tuckable, just tuck it in.

[@1911syndicate]

Well that's a pro tip right there, solid

[@roberttorres4126]

Yeah it's part of their low vis series where you can fuck all the tags to avoid showing the brand

[@civic2323]

I blacked mines out w a sharpie

[@PrestonGladd]

The small pull tab in the concealed section is not a “keeper” to prevent it opening wide, it’s to fast deploy your weapon, you put the zippers right up next to it and when you bring it around you grab the pull tab and pull it away from you and it will rapidly open up the CCW compartment.

[@pollock56th]

I have had this bag for over a year now as my EDC. The tabs do not work well as the quick pull tabs. As time wears on the zippers begin to open the back panel when using the tabs, best to keep them tucked inside. A better fit would be snap tabs, to keep the panel from dropping.

[@josephagraviador1497]

Not sure if you guys realized it but the velcro "keeper" straps that keep the back panel from opening completely, are also used for rapid deployment. If you stick it out of that corner of the zippers, it attaches to the small square of velcro. So once you flip it around, using the tab to undo the zippers quickly. One of the drawbacks is that it does come undone easily as you carry.

[@danielcollier7438]

Yeah that was one of the selling features for me...

You're fooling yourself if you think your going to have enough time to chamber a round in a life threatening situation.

[@RandyWCole]

@@1911syndicate Force Science Institute did a study and found a suspect can draw and fire four rounds before an officer can fire one. The officer is also drawing from the holster or already in the low ready position. You don't have the luxury to chamber a round in a gunfight bro. Why would you be worried about one in the chamber while the pistol is in a holster anyway?

[@PrestonGladd]

The difference here is that you’re not knowingly going into a life-threatening altercation with this bag. This is “I’m going to the store and buying some milk and all the sudden shit starts popping off if I’m in the crosshairs I’m already dead but if I’m not I’ll have enough time to swing this around deploy my concealed carry and do what I can to de-escalate the situation”. Oh and then after it’s all done I can put my milk in this bag and carry it comfortably back home.

I'm a big sling pack fan for work and EDC, but I'm left handed so many packs didn't suit my needs and/or didn't know how to run them. Bought the LV10 and still learning how use it but so far so good. I live in SoCal so a CCW is a no go for me but I still train at home and make the pack work for me. Thanks for the review! (Subscribed)

I just ordered this bag today for an EDC bag. I also have the LV 18 and LV 6 which make a neat discreet combo system. As someone already mentioned, the 5.11 tags can be tucked so they cannot be seen. Great video! Keep up the good work. I am now subscribed so I look forward to watching more!

[@JaronActual]

Looking forward to the rest of this series. Maybe I'm looking for too specific a bag, but I want one that can fit a 15" laptop with good padding, has a CCW pouch that doesn't risk shattering a tablet screen, lots of pockets and compartments inside for storing and organizing things, and that can convert from sling to backpack ( sling for most days, backpack when I need to carry extra stuff or wear it for longer periods of time ). Bonus points if it has some exterior attachments points for other gear that doesn't also scream "LOOK AT THE TACTICOOL NERD OVER HERE!" I tried a Vertx sling, but there was no padding inside to keep my laptop / tablets from getting damaged. The Vanquest Katara would be great, but it's too small for a 15" laptop. I'm not too keen on the cost of having to pay $100+ for a bag shell then $50 for every different pocket or organizer insert I may want, but it's looking that's the way I'll have to go.

[@pollock56th]

The band in the middle secures your carry holster. I use it to with my tenicor Velo. It's a fantastic option because 90% of the time I carry appendix. It is a great way to convert when you have to off body carry, then back to on body.

[@MrShtbrick]

There is absolutely no way that I'm going to concealed carry my handgun in a bag, which can be dropped accidentally or pulled off of me. My handgun will be staying in IWB holster while out in public.

I'd actually do the same. If your gun is in a bag - that alone will 5x your draw time. Racking the slide on top of that is negligible. If my gun is in a bag - I'm on a 10 mile hike with friends or something where wearing it would just be too cumbersome.

@@appendixcarrybear9141 I agree when it comes to having it holstered on you.... but if it's in a bag - there's no point. There's no way you will be able to quickly draw and fire if it's in a bag, forget it. If you go for your gun in a bag, you will have time to rack it. Bags are tricky. If there's any possibility of it falling out of the holster while in the bag - that's a disaster waiting to happen and I don't have to tell you that things can move a lot while in bags.

These chest bags are a joke. Before they even became popular, those of us with attention to detail assumed they probably had a gun. We thought the same thing about fanny packs. It's called telegraphing, and it's obvious. Don't wear these bags. Carry legitimately concealed and work on your draw.

[@Kojimalosophy]

no no no no no, nop! if you are going to conceal carry in a sling (which is the only way to conceal carry in a backpack) THE ONLY sling that almost matches the draw speed of waist carry is the Vertx line up of slings, like the Tourist sling (small), the Transit Sling (med) and the commuter sling (Lg), they have an ergonomic easy-grab tab that hangs down just behind your pant's pockets, you grab that tab yank it and in the same motion it brings the sling forward to be across your chest AND in that same motion it opens the compartment where the gun and mag's are holstered, literally takes just under 2 second from the moment you grab the tab to when your aiming down, and it accepts most armor shields made by the most reputable companies like safe life defense and premier body armor, AND those Vertx slings have a pass-trough on the back through which you can run your arm into to use the pack as a shield both for bullets and incoming knife attacks, the strap has a quick release mechanism to free the bag from your body in a second so you can do this. seriously, any company will have a really hard time beating Vertx when it comes to blazing fast and intuitive gun deployment. cheers!

The reviewer failed to research the bag properly and, consequently, provided false information to the viewers. The tags are tuck-able. This was not an oversight by 5.11, but rather a well thought out and welcome feature of the bag. The straps inside the CCW compartment are not keepers to prevent the compartment from opening fully. They correspond to the hook/loop on the outside corners of the bag, leaving a break in the zipper run, allowing the compartment to quickly be pulled open manually without the use of the zipper pulls.
