Bags are becoming the craze like Fanny packs did in the 80-90’s

So common no one looks twice.
Fanny packs have somehow made a comeback. Not my style lol. Shoulder bags have been popular in Europe and Latin America for a while though
 
Fanny packs, bags, or whatever- what concerns me is that strap(s) can get sliced and the thief is down the road with your 💩 before you can drop your cell phone and say WTF.
 
IWB. If I'm wearing a suit coat or a long t-short/hoodie, I carry sometimes carry between my pants and my belt. Otherwise, all in. I usually care on my hip - appendix is too lumpy, plus I saw the YT video of the guy who shot himself in the 🍆. Hard (heh) pass.
 
I tried to AIWB carry a lot but I couldn't get it to work comfortably with my belly. Plus I had to wear a slightly oversized shirt to make sure I didn't print. I carry 3-4 oclock and sometimes I forget it's even there.
Same. Tried it for like 6 months with Tier 1 Agis Elite. Just don't understand how that is comfortable for anyone but I guess it's popular for a reason.

Strong side 3-4 o'clock is the only comfortable option for me that conceals so much better than AIWB.
 
Are you all done ?

I know it's tempting and you all have to fulfill John Gabriel's Greater Internet Theory but can we not have all the back and forth that is both personal and off topic?

Yeah maybe... something to be said about personal awareness. Also that type of crime is not exactly common here, maybe in Europe. I also love the hidden air-tag pocket in the Obscura

Nooooooo, I missed the melt down ☹️. I absolutely love reading grown men break on the internet because of a comment from a random stranger.
 
Interesting that AIWB is ahead now. Around five years ago, it felt like everyone was against it because it supposedly “broke the safety rules” or whatever other funky arguments people came up with.

I’m guessing all the high-speed, low-drag AIWB draw videos on social media, and the coolness factor that came with them, helped swing things the other way.
