Quote HistoryThat's a great resource on large BOB's, but I am not really trying to drag a 70lb frame pack to the office. I am am really just trying to find another edc type bag. I also tried that Maxpedition Siska/Sitka (sp?) And the Maxpedition Monsoon, and I realized that at that point I might as well carry a backpack if I was going to go the whole gear-slinger route. If I go to a backpack, it just motivates me to get a larger pack filled with all the doo-dads, and I'll still need an edc type bag 
An over the shoulder bag suits my needs just fine, I just need to find a new one. |

I haven't seen that thread before, and am about 3/4 the way through it. I say that that link was helpful, but it damn sure isn't helpful to my wallet 
I actually have the LAPG bag on order, should be here in the next few days. From what I've read and seen, it is damn near what I'm looking for, I'm just trying to get some folks reviews on something a little more .... refined I guess. |

Have you looked at the Vertx bags? I was looking for something low profile that would still give me plenty of options for carrying gear, so I orderd their EDC Gamut hopefully it comes in a week or so. They also have a lot of othere bags and cases to check out.

I keep a Tac Tailor removable operator pack in my truck as a Get-Home-Bag. It has some cold weather gear, 2x field-stripped MRE's, water, trauma supplies, spare pistol mag, and other small survival items. There's also a softshell jacket.
I also have a concealable soft armor carrier in the truck at all times.

This is what in use. Have had it in use 5 days a week, including travel to the office and out of town for the last 3 years and it looks as good as the day I bought it. It is the 5.11 Rush Messenger.

My wife and I use my old LAPG bail out bag as our son's diaper bag. We only carry what we need in it and restock off of our vehicle for more diapers, clothes, wipes, ect. Prior to it being used as a diaper bag it was my old range/DEMO bag.
We did get a jumbo BOB to try out as well, but my wife found it to be more unweildly for her to carry. She also has a bad habit where if there's a pocket or empty space more stuff gets shoved in there than is needed. I'm probably going to convert it into a vehicle FAK. I found it to be to big for a range/DEMO bag.

I use an LBT 3-day pack, similar size as the LAPG but FAR nicer quality (I have both). Can't say I'd want a briefcase type bag for a GHB, but everyone has different goals/preferences/ideas.

I definitely don't. When you have to move a lot of gear over a fair distance frame packs are the bee's knees. The briefcase I have been using, was similar to an old-school doctors bag. Close to this one: 
That's one reason I really want to force myself to get a Maxpedition Kit bag. It is like my old briefcase (steel frame opening and everything), I just want to see what everybody else is using, and see if there's something that catches my eye.

I don't really like the idea of setting the bag down and have a pistol clack against the floor, or against the other items in the bag. -Do you think that the bag has too many pockets? More pockets means more organized, but at the same time, more pockets means more places to lose stuff, and then there's the whole idea of "empty pocket? Better fill it." I am doing my best to not make this thing a 50lb "I can live out of this damn thing for a month" bag. Has anyone use the Maxpedition Tactical Attaches, or their Messenger bag? Thanks again for the recommendations, y'all have been very helpful. |

I use a maxpedition monsoon. It holds my laptop and other work related crap. I have been using it for traveling lately also. I really like the single strap which can be worn with the pack on your chest when sitting on a bus etc. I also got the universal holster for the CCW pocket.

If you've been carrying a briefcase all these years I assume you need to look more professional. I use a top loading laptop case but I don't carry a laptop. The laptop portion is padded and "felt" lined, I use Velcro to attach my holster, couple spare mags, and flashlight. Pistol stays protected and I never open that section unless its warranted, clients are none the wiser.
An example: Laptop briefcase |

The quality and materials should be more than adequate for your needs. |

I've never considered that. In lieu of my briefcase, I've been carrying my Dell laptop bag, but I think I'm going to start leaving that at the house, since it has a large "Dell" logo on it. Don't really want people to start looking at the bag in hopes of getting an expensive computer, but a laptop bag would be a great idea, with all of the extra padding and support. I guess I have a whole new category of stuff to look at. Thanks for the suggestion. |

The webbing on the 5.11 bag is ok, but the webbing all over the place on the specops is a turn off. Molle has been around for a long time now. It isn't really super-tactical, it's just a grid of nylon. For survival and utilitarian purposes, it can be useful as hook-up points. Hell, I've seen females with civilian backpacks in college that have molle. Shit, you can get molle backpacks at wal mart now. :) This may be another option with much less visible molle. And the molle it does have could be easily covered. I'm not sure about it beyond that though. http://www.skdtac.com/HawkePaks-Recon-Rifle-Bag-p/hkp.505.htm Maybe this? http://www.skdtac.com/FirstSpear-300-Round-Linked-Ammunition-7-62-Feed-p/fsr.513.htm ETA: Actually that one looks pretty small.

The other two divided pockets are HUGE, I just haven't filled the pockets yet. In the pocket near my hand, the white box is a 50rd box of .44 Mag for size comparison. I can fit three more in that pocket alone. 
CCW pocket: BIG. Have no problem fitting full size glock in it + spare mags. Same .44 Mag box of ammo for size comparison. 
If you have any requests for specific pics, let me know. I will definitely recommend this bag. First impression is that it's heavy, in a good way. This thing isn't made from cheap ass canvas like a rothco bag or anything, and holds it's shape very well. The zippers don't bind, and they slide along very easily. Also, the stitching is very nice. Definitely well worth the $20 + shipping charges. |

I bought one of those bags about 5 years ago, when it was imported/sold by Fox Tactical. It's been in and out of several different pickups and overloaded pretty much from day one. I used it for a long time and it was great, it just wasn't great for moving, so opted for a different setup. The quality/price/functionality of that bag is amazing.
I use a 5.11 Push and a 5.11 Rush now, which I like very much. |

I can also get one AK74 mag per pouch... I had to make hook and loop extensions (used inside the pouch to extend the flap) to get the flaps to close on the 74 mags... Awesome! thnx! Got one on the way!
Now to find either a cheap G17 or a G17 slide for my G34 so I can keep a pistol in the bag. |

FWIW the plastic swivel clips on the shoulder strap will "squeak" on this bag. You can cut them off and use 550 cord if it bothers you, or make them non-swivel clips by injecting some glue into the swivel portion. That said I've never had one of them break, but if they do I'd probably them with some metal HK snap hooks

Welp I got here too late but I'll post this in case anyone else is looking for a quality bag.
http://www.vanquest.com/products/envoy-2-0-aka-gofer-1-0-messenger-bag.html 
details The new ENVOY™ 2.0 messenger bag continues the design of our original ENVOY 1.0 messenger that was considered to be one of the best messenger bags made for everyday carry. With the same exterior measurements and upgraded parts, the new ENVOY™ 2.0 sports a more streamlined look, weighs less (8 oz. lighter than the original ENVOY™), and comes with a removable shoulder strap that has been improved on both stability, ergonomics, and upgradable to our new GT-COBRA™ Sling system. For ultimate durability, the bag is made of 1000-D Cordura® fabric with water-repellent Teflon® protestor by DuPont®, high-visibility 210-D Ripstop Nylon interior, and YKK® zippers. The padded main compartment fits up to a 15" laptop. Its top zipper opening allows quick-access to your personal items such as tablets, notepads, folders, pens/markers, multi-tools and folding knives without opening the flap. It is loaded with over 20 compartments for storage. It also features side attachment points, luggage handle pass-through with hidden pockets, front admin panel, and plenty of hook-and-loop field for CCW accessory attachment. ENVOY™ 2.0 is fully expandable: MOLLE/PALS compatible accessories can be attached on to webbing surface using our 5" MOLLE Sticks. Optional Drop-In Organizer enhances the bag’s internal organization for your range gear or DSLR camera system. Furthermore, you can instantly turn your ENVOY™ 2.0 into a bike-messenger-style bag that rides comfortably on your back, and switchable between right- and left-shoulder with an optional GT-COBRA™ Sling that uses THE world-renowned ITW / AustriAlpin GT-COBRA™ buckle that's non-metalic, crush-proof, and rated at 500-pound tensile strength! |
