Best Fanny Pack for Concealed Carry?

Dude.... get their pants!!! I have Helikon's Covert Tactical Pant & LOVE THEM.
They have SO MANY POCKETS!!!! But they don't look like they do, at all!!!

COVERT TACTICAL PANTS® - VersaStretch®

Covert Tactical Pants® are everyday wear trousers – discreet and non-flashy, yet extraordinarily functional. All tactical features are neatly disguised. Four magazine, holster or valuables pockets are sewn inside

Absolutely my favorite & go to after 5.11 discontinued a similar pant, but with not as many pockets.

I'll check them out. Thanks👍
 
Just saw this thread and tried to add another choice for consideration.

Agilite Six Pack Hanger Pouch -- it can be wore as a fanny pack, or it can be attached to the Agilite Plate Carrier. Multiple colors to choose too.

Six Pack™ Hanger Pouch

The Agilite Six pack was designed to be the best dangler pouch on the market. We fixed all existing dangler pouches' issues. Most hangers are too long, flapping and dangling below your beltline and hindering your movement. The Six pack’s geometry is optimized to have the same storage capacity...

I've carried a Hill People Gear snubby for a few years now and absolutely love it. Their stuff is a bit pricey, but it's extremely high quality, veteran owned and U.S. made. They're also a small company so they work in batches and their stuff goes quick, so it pays to be on their mailing list if there's something you want that's sold out. Their packs and clothing are great too. Highly recommend.

I got a excellent condition, like new, Vertx Transit 3.0 in Black I may list soon. Not a fanny pack, it's a EDC type sling bag. $70 ftf, $80 shipped.

We've gathered up the best bags, purses, and fanny packs perfect for off-body concealed carry or times when you can't on-body carry.

I have the 5.11 - never use it as I dislike fanny packs. It is small and thin though.

Don’t like the buckle being in the back on the 5.11. Hill people is up front.

2nd the Blue Alpha bag. Also Eberlestock makes the Bando Bag I carry my P365 X Macro in the standard size one.

The standard sized Bando Bag will hold a 4" double stack 1911, or a G19:

And your standard CCW-sized pistols like the G26 or P365:

And it zips open and closed with ease. Along with other gear in the front pouches.

I like the Eberlestock Bando Bag. Picked it up from Amazon on super sale a weeks back for $34 shipped.

+1 for the Eberlestock Bando Bag. It's not overly tactical like some other fanny packs out on the market.

If I had to do it all over again, I would go for the XL version versus the regular version. A G19.3 with RDS fits a bit snug in the regular version...

You weren't lying about the prices! But the quality does look exceptional. I've been through too many bad quality ones where I could've saved money by purchasing this.

Like Nate said, too, the buckle being front-side is important (for several reasons).
I also like that you can attach a tourniquet underneath.

Ended up getting the Vertex Everyday bag, very happy with it so far. Blends in and cannot tell I am packing the heat :)

Fits all my ccw weapsons perfectly (g27, g30, p365)

Fanny packs are worse than printing.
I see dudes wearing one and immediately think, "lcr? P365? Hmmmmm?"
Buy a very nice iwb holster.

And by doing this, you won't look like Richard Simmons packing heat.

Your setup doesn't seem to cover the trigger guard (?)

Haha, thats why I went with with the Vertex bag, looks like a lululemon bag, not tactical looking at all.. for example the 945 industries bags.. But your right, just got my ccw and first day wearing the bag I feel like was getting looks like people know I am packing. Most of the time I will carry appendix with my p365 in a safariland schema holster, comfy for me. The bag is for days I am wearing sweats/ gym shorts.
