Holdcard

I don't think I'd attach it to my pack, you just can't reach it fast enough. I've actually worn mine out in public and didn't so much as raise an eyebrow. Most people assume it's just some kind of PDA case or something.

It works well as a "hidden in plain sight" kind of thing. I've left mine on the coffee table and asked friends if they could find my gun, so far no one has gotten it right away (including some gun people).

It does do a great job of protecting your investment. The workmanship is top notch. For sure it's not the end all of holsters, but for a specific purpose it fits the bill very well.

Like any other holster it will take practice to get the flow down. It's not going to be quite as fast as a strong side holster, but with practice you can get pretty quick.

The idea of attaching it to the seatbelt doesn't sound too bad for a road trip. It would keep it nice and handy for the right hand.

Then again, you could probably just go to Walmart and find something that would work about as well or could be rigged to work.

Springer...For a road trip, why not just keep it in the passenger seat, the console, or in an offside holster?

Well.... in the passenger seat, it could go flying in an accident. I've found (most) holsters to not be too comfortable while driving. The console sounds like a good idea, but I don't have one in the center.

This would be excellent for car carry when you can't carry at your destination.

hi guys,
thanks for all the comments! I have been thinking of using the safepacker on the waistbelt of my daypack or big backpack, or possibly on the shoulder straps. I think I will go ahead and get one, seems as though it would do fairly well.

Different 'strokes' for different folks...but not for me...seems difficult to draw from...I prefer the plain old IWB.

Draw isn't that bad (once the flap is unlatched). Reaching to grip the weapon causes the velcro'd seam on the barrel side to part, you draw out the opened side rather than up and over the top. It's not my EDC holster (I'm generally using an IWB) but definately has its uses in particular situations.

Anyone (right-handed) hook this up to a seatbelt in a crossdraw position?

The Safepacker seems to be a very mis-understood piece of gear. I have always had one for each of my different sized guns (J-frame size, Commander size, and Full size).

As was said in an earlier post it was designed for high angle rescue operations so the sheriff's deputies could still carry their weapons whilst hanging off a cliff. For that it is the best holster I have found and I have used mine for that many times.

It is a great "hidden in plain sight" holster. I have carried a j-frame in one as a man purse with my keys and wallet in it wearing sweats to the store.

It is a superb vehicle solution. The best way that I have found is to mount it to the middle of the bench seat in my truck with a piece of webbing wrapped all the way around the bench and the holster totally laid flat but clipped to the webbing. I got pulled over and showed the cop, he was so impressed with the hidden in plain sight aspect he gave me a warning and sent me on my way.

It is also the best backpacking/hiking holster out there IMO, it protects the weapon well and with practice is very fast into operation.

As with most things, I have found that those with dispariging remarks have not owned and or practiced with the things that they opine negatively on.

My first concealed carry holster was a Safepacker. I used that before I got my CCW since it is designed as a holster and is therefore "open carry" at least in AZ, and the few other states where my CCW doesn't work.

On top of all that it is a great way to keep a ready to go system of gun, ammo, flashlight, knife, and credentials handy.

Great holster, great piece of gear!!! I have recommended them to everyone I can and many have bought them and are very happy.

I have no affiliation with The Wilderness, though I wish I did so I could get free gear!!!!

I use it when I go hiking or Mt biking. Put it on my pack belt, and go on with the activity.

Some times I will gab it if I don't what, or have time to put on my normal carry gear.
