Anyone carry in a waist pack? - Page 2

I'm trying to find a "Bianchi Top Secret" locally, it looks well made and is cheaper than Galco but i can't find any reviews.

I've got the 'Bianchi' Ranger series. This is for a large gun and I don't use it at all. It just sits with my other collection of holsters. I went to pocket carry (638) and never looked back. I sometimes carry my Sig220 but in a Desantis IWB holster.
If someone made me a decent offer, I'd sell it. Just don't use it.

On local vacations i'll use one, but I still carry gun in SC, just because fanny pack yells GUN! But at age 40 i'm just getting "old" enough to get away with using one. Wife wears one,too.

I have two, one for my Ruger LCP, and one for my CZ 9mm (larger). They are well made, and the "secret" compartment is easily accessable. Here's where I got them:

Funny thing...I think "we all" got one.......

When I see fanny pack, I look at the haircut, shoes and clothing and think "cop"...to me those are the dead giveaways.......if my "profile" is skewed I still think "gun" because of the size of the bag and where it hangs...in front with pull strings or tabs on the zippers is a dead give away....I also noticed "looks" from LEO when I carried in an FP....so I abandoned mine.(although I keep it....just in case! ha ha)

Well, I'm near Woodstock, NY, former hippy capital of the world, and fanny-paks are all over the place. I wear mine everywhere, and nobody pays the least bit of attention (which is good)!

Of course, if you're the only one with green hair, black lipstick, and pictures on your fingernails, then you might stand out a bit!

I wouldn't be bothered by it screaming gun as it would be for concealed carry not covert carry.

I used the fanny-pack/pouch as in the photo, when I had my Ruger P90 and sometimes with my present Ruger SP101 but certainly with the .45 as opposed to a holster. It draws zero attention from people. And is quick to get to, and the extra loaded magazine in the smaller pouch on the front. And in the pouch, my .45 was just there by itself not inside some smaller holster or carrier.

I use one all the time when I excersise with the wife, hiking or walking. It is the Galco one and works very well for me. I use the medium one for my S&W 642. I got it brand new on ebay for about $15 or $20.
