Is a Concealed Carry Fanny Pack a Good Choice for You?

[@wes326]

Good for EDC with BUG in front pocket in case the fanny pack is the target. Also allows you to easily carry spare mags and less lethal means of self defense. Also good for travel when you don't want to carry a backpack.

[@philliphinkle2812]

I carried my pistol in a Fanny pack in the 80’s and early 90’s. As a LEO many of us did. But they fell out of favor some how. I like the idea and I’m thinking of going back to one

[@Hanos1987]

With fanny packs coming back, whether you like them or not, nobody will think you're carrying a gun in it.

[@suspicious_ape7173]

​@overated9071 You realize that not every scenario people get into they are at gun point and have to draw from there. Plenty of times where there is an active shooter situation (in a mall, at the beach, at the park) where you can have this pack on and access your firearm and get into the fight with ease and speed. And if you train with it. I don't see why someone couldn't use this and still be safe.

[@suspicious_ape7173]

@overated9071 while a traditional holster will still have an advantage to this in speed. I believe, with plenty of time training, this can be a reliable and comfortable way to carry! Stay dangerous friend 🫡

[@Grunttamer]

not every situation is a wild west quick draw. I cant convincingly conceal my g19 in light clothing so off body is the way to go.@@suspicious_ape7173

[@danielfernandez449]

I purchased this fanny pack because it conveniently hides my g43x. I was pleasantly surprised by its smaller and sleeker design then the conventional ones. Living in Florida it is a must have.

[@gatorhkman]

This method was a real/widely used deal in the South when CCW laws started to change. I like your approach and modern interpretation on the build. Making me revisit my thoughts.

[@georgerafa5041]

I'm a framer (non trades would call us carpenters) and I've tried to AIWB for years but its just so uncomfortable since I'm climbing up ladders or monkeying up into rafters daily. Idk how I never considered a fanny pack before but it just seems like the perfect solution for guys in the trade. Ya guys in the crew may make fun of it but meh, we always tease each other about anything and everything thats how brotherhoods are formed. Anyways I just thought I'd mention tradesmen that carry tool belts on their hips as another potential niche this product could fill.

[@christopherreeves7915]

This is an awesome option. I mainly decided to order this fanny pack to be able to carry my gun on me while lounging around in my pajama pants in the home. After watching this and seeing that it is great for a lot of options for carry it is a game changer. I just placed my order for mine and looking forward to trying it out. Another huge plus is you can use a full Kydek iwb holster with it instead of those unsafe elastic type holster bands in over 90% of the other pistol fanny packs.

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

Thanks so much!

[@christopherreeves7915]

@@BlueAlphaBelts You’re welcome! Thank you for putting out awesome products. Till this day the Blue Alpha EDC belt is still my favorite concealed carry belt.

[@xforce708]

I wanted to see how the weapon draws in the holster attached with Velcro

Check out our Fanny Pack launch video on this KZbin channel or the product page on our website.

[@ontheeditse7780]

In my country a man with any bag across his chest is considered to be carrying it like a symbol of ccw

[@brotein_mancakes]

Interested in getting this. Good explainer video. I understand the reason for mounting the firearm on the outside panel in terms of draw, but does the weight cause the pocket to flop open and turn the muzzle towards your body?

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

Nope! The geometry of the Fanny Pack doesn't allow for that to happen. Watch our other Fanny Pack video and we show it at just after the 1 minute mark.

[@brotein_mancakes]

[@mattgonzales810]

How was @gunshorts not on this promo 🤣🤣🤣! I'm going to add this fanny to my rotation for sure 🤘🤙✌️

[@unklecorky2181]

Would these fanny packs be a good fit for 38 special revolvers like Ruger LCRX and Taurus 856? I like the fact these look like regular fanny packs. Just worried the style of guns I prefer would not be compatible. Let me know when you can!

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

@@unklecorky2181 Yep they should fit!

[@DorianGreer]

Waited the entire video to see you pull the weapon from the pack. It's a useful way to carry. But it looked very awkward to access from the pack, which is something you should add as a trade-off. May as well be straight up with a life and death possible situation. Accessing the weapon in a pack like this is tedious and slow, but easier to carry.

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

Check out our Fanny Pack launch video, it has a setup and draw in it. I've taken CCW pistol classes using only the Fanny Pack and it performs very well. It's not as fast as AIWB but it's close. A little bit of dry fire practice and there's no awkwardness.

[@DorianGreer]

@@BlueAlphaBelts Will do. Thanks. Edit: I don't see a launch video for this product. Link? (Surely you're not talking about the 2min video above where you draw twice in slo-mo. Are you?)

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

@@DorianGreer Yep that's the one, we also have reels showing draws if you want to see more. I'm not exactly sure what you want to see but draw times will vary depending on the shooter. We have free returns if you want to try out a Fanny Pack and see if it works for you.

[@DorianGreer]

@@BlueAlphaBelts I def do want to see more. I'm wondering if there's a "technique" or something. The reason I'm interested is because years ago I watched a video on access times (vs an attacker) for women who carry in a purse. It was obvious that not having the weapon "on" your person created a serious sense of delusion of safety when it came time to pull your weapon. It was failure after failure, even from fairly long distances the attacker won. I am open to practiced "technique" for this, and I was hoping to see some in the first video. Thus my interest. (I'd actually prefer to carry in a small pack; I'm not a large person so everything I do exposes a "tell" of some sort.) So, definitely yes, if you've got some videos on how to best approach this from this particular fanny pack would be great.

[@This_guy_over_here]

Would a G19 sized pistol (specifically an arex delta m) fit in one of these?

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

It's designed for subcompact pistols so a G19 sized pistol wouldn't be the best choice.

[@davidwhite7309]

I would have liked to see you draw your weapon from that pack. And will it hold extra mags?

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

These videos show some draws. Typically there isn't room for an extra mag, we wanted these packs to be slim and blend in.

[@brandonjarvis9821]

Would a CAT tourniquet fit in the front pocket?

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

A CAT TQ would be too large for the front pocket. It's a fairly small pocket for stuff like a small wallet, cash, cards, and small keys.

[@brandonjarvis9821]

@@BlueAlphaBelts thank you!

[@blurryface1975]

will a smith and wesson equalizer fit in this pack? if so with which size magazine would it fit?

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

It will fit with the factory mag, not sure what other mag sizes are available.

[@blurryface1975]

@@BlueAlphaBelts from the factory it comes with a ten, a thirteen and a fifteen round magazine which are all different lengths

Any room for a spear mag?

[@GroundSteak]

It's a great idea but they're all too big

[@joeytorres5442]

The velcro will scratch this shit out of your gun

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

Fortunately this isn't a problem, most of the pistol is in a holster and the only velcro it can touch is the soft loop velcro.

[@thestreamreader]

Seems perfect if it had at least one more storage pocket. Keys, 2 phones, wallet get hard with one pocket.

[@BlueAlphaBelts]

We prioritized concealed carry and keeping it as minimal as possible. We didn't want it to turn into a big bag.

@@BlueAlphaBelts yeah need a 2nd model for those that want to take our EDC stuff in gym shorts as well but still have the option for carry.

For women I would say yes, for men I would say no. Cops automatically think that you are carrying.

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

As a retired cop...I always thought everyone was carrying anyways. Be prepared for it. Trying to figure out where or how they were carrying was the fun part. I am not saying I thought everyone was bad or they should not be carrying (I am solidly for Constitutional Carry), I am just saying I was trying to be prepared for whenever someone ended up being bad and was carrying. I am continuously amazed when I hear other cops (anyone really but especially cops) say that they don't like Constitutional Carry because then everyone can be armed. All I say is, "Duh, how many criminals follow the laws and don't carry because they couldn't get a permit?" And then I ask them if they were ever previously concerned about criminals carrying before such laws were more prevalent. That usually wakes them up to the ignorance of their thinking. Unless, of course, they are just government thugs who want to control the people instead of serve them. ;-)

[@GroundSteak]

So what?
