Who has a "man purse" Go-Bag?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Who has a "man purse" Go-Bag?

Posted: 10/12/2014 8:24:09 AM EDT

The place I work just went from using a belt system to using external carriers.

Since I'm already wearing a vest, my plate carrier no longer works for Active Shooter/High Risk stuff. Any ideas on a man purse/tactical bag?

I'm thinking a one strap over-the-shoulder pack would be best. All it needs is Molle exterior to carry AR and Glock mags and enough storage for some IFAK items.

Pictures welcome!

I have one of these. I mostly use it as a range bag or when ever we go to the country. Has worked pretty damn good. When going to the range I have four 30 rounders in the two front pockets, and all three glock mags in the smaller side pockets then I can pack my other five mags in the main zipper pocket and a couple more boxes of ammo. A few cleaning things end up going in the smaller zip up pocket. It has a couple of mollie points on it not many, the one time I put a pouch on it, it was kinda loose but that was more from me then the system I think.

Have had the bag for about 3 or so years its held up pretty good. Now I just keep it loaded down with loaded spare bags ready to go.

the only "man purse" I own is the two duffel bags the Army issued me in basic with a cardboard template, my name and social security number we sprayed in black on all our bags .

This is what I have in the house for a "go bag" also. Similar load with a basic first aid kit and a few Israeli pressure bandages in the main compartment.

Its big enough to hold it all but not huge like the Maxpedition Jumbo bags. Even their smaller bags were to square for me. The Peacekeeper is a lot flatter

Are there any departmental requirements as to color/camo or anything else that are pertinent?

Sounds to me like a "man purse' might not even be optimal. For example, a surplus GI 3X2 mag bandolier, available in a wide variety of colors/camo., and with a carefully assembled bleeder kit in one of the pouches might do. The UCP ones are easily dyed black, or either green or brown, if desired, and it is a simple process.

No provision for pistol mags on it, but there are perhaps other, shoulder slung panels that might allow attachment of pouches which you could configure to suit your needs.

Thread in this forum on how someone set one up, possibly as a chest rig. You don't need to go that route, but there are alternatives to a "man purse" and perhaps they are worth considering.

This might be exactly what you need:http://themollepanel.com/. I have no experience with the mfr, but see for yourself.

maybe a Hazard4 reveille bag that I bought a condor strap from ebay for it. It's a great little messenger style bag now with the strap that fits my girl's Ipad , chargers. It even fits lunch when I take some to work.

The SOTECH Mission Go Bag is another good option to consider. The four interior IV compartments are perfect to sub-organize your stuff.

LAPG has the US Peacekeeper bag for a few bucks less. Plus, if you order other stuff you can get their BOB for free as previously posted.

No real requirements as this is just a "worst case scenario" grab and go kit. I have my Shellback Banshee pretty much perfected for a chest rig, I just need to adapt the quick access I had to being on one side of my body. I like the panel idea and a few of the other bags look like they will work too.

Like everything else on here, I am sure I will end up with another box full of gear before I find the perfect one.

Currently I have a maxpedition jumbo versa pak L.E.O. in OD Green. I use it as a diaper bag but will keep on using it after im past that. I have added a velcro pistol holster/spare pistol magazine holder to the inner most pocket. And also a od green/woodland pistol mag pouch to the outside that holds a gerber mp600 multitool. I love it and will post a few pics when I get home. Hardest part was finding the perfect sized nalgene bottle that fits in the ar15 mag pouch. I could have gone with the E.D.C. version, but I felt that the L.E.O. model gave me more options and also included a built in cell phone pouch.

beef jerky
tuna kits
lighters
flashlight or two
tape
extra knife or two
n95 mask

I was issued one, it's a purpose built piece of equipment. You can overload it easy if your not careful. This is probably worth it if you can find one used or cheap. Will hold 6 M4 mags, two pistol mags, blow out kit, survival supplies, spare flashlight, radio batt etc. Not the easiest to reload from however, it's more or less a bag designed to hold everything but fit behind a seat or in the middle of a seat etc.

Light and fast you might want to look at other options like the peace keeper or maxpedition. This is for extended ops as you can easily double your basic fighting load. Might be good for a siege or extended perimeter security operation where a suspect will be holed up. You could carry additional sustainment, observation or comfort items to help keep you comfortable, effective and alert until you are relieved.
