Walks with the wife when I'm in gym clothes etc. Needs to hold a g19 with RMR and be as small as possible. I was thinking something like the hill people gear running chest pack, but something that's just using a single clip so it's not harness like a chest rig. What do you got? |
Isaiah 1:18 - "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD: "though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow"
| I'm interested in this as well. I've seen guys at the gym lifting weights with a small chest pack and they are 100% carrying a pistol. |

If you are right-handed, the M-TAC bags are great for G19. I use a Gun Goddess or CrossBreed flat back Velcro holster in them. They now make a lefty bag as well. The gen2 bags do not have any Velcro outside and are available in blue, light gray, nontactical colors that don't scream "gun". https://a.co/d/2MbMkkB Great dog walking bags. They hold G19 in a kydex holster, phone, wallet, keys and nothing else. |

I have 2 from 945 Industries and love both. They have several different sizes and material options as well as kydex holsters. Also, the Eberlestock Fade Flex would work for your G19. If you need a hook & loop backed holster I highly recommend Crossbreed. i believe they are on sale right now too. |

CrossBreed has 20% off summer sale, including Velcro flatbacks https://www.crossbreedholsters.com/category/modular-systems/ Gungoddess does not show their old flatback Velcro holster, they have an updated design https://www.gungoddess.com/collections/vehicle-household-holsters/products/flat-plate-velcro-holster Arctic White kydex is great for reholstering into a dark bag |

I use a Helikon Tex Bandicoot at the gym and on my mountain bike/hiking since I normally have a small Camelbak as well when I'm doing the latter. Maybe look at the Vertx SOP and sole of the bags from Born Primitive unless you want something that screams, " i got a gun in here" |
It was too small for me but...Vertx Everyday 2.0 I settled on the Eberlestock Fade Flex

I like this as well as the vertx one @gotuonpaper I have the large size in Cordura and XL size in X-Pac. The large is very tight on my Xmacro or Hellcat Pro with red dot and light but the XL has just the right amount of room plus space for an extra mag. No room for an extra mag in the size large. I also have that Vertx fanny pack but it's only sized for my P365 micro and smaller so I gave it to my wife for her LCP. |

I'd like to get something a bit more substantial. @Hillcountry what are you currently using? I use Daltech belly bands exclusively. I get the wide band with neoprene lining and rarely know it’s there. I’ve had the vertical draw as well but will stay with the horizontal. |

I have 2 fanny packs, a very nice Ex Umbris that is also too small for a G48 (maybe if it opened further down), and a giant discontinued 5.11 pack that dwarfs my 17s.  This is what I'm getting next. He offers 3 sizes and a ton of options. https://www.earthseedequipment.com/product-page/custom-fanny-pack |

I have one of these and it’s GREAT!! I use it all the time. |

I like the fanny sub load adapter panel from AXL. It’s basically a molle panel with a polymer insert in the back that keeps it from sagging. I like that I can throw whatever molle pouch I want on it, but the insert also works really well as something for my holster to grab onto. It’s rigid enough to support the gun and is easy to adjust when sitting or standing. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t intended for this, but it works surprisingly well, even with full size guns. I prefer this setup to having the gun inside the bag. Accessing the firearm feels a lot like AIWB, but I don’t have to wear a belt. I can just throw the fanny pack on, let my shirt cover everything, and go. I use it with gym clothes regularly.  |

i wear a nexbelt, web belt and when I am walking in gym shorts I just wrap it around my waist under my shirt and tuck my inside the pants holster into it. works great and I already own everything. I used to use a cheap fanny pack for my glock when I was running. I don’t run these days. But I do a lot of hiking. Usually I just tuck my pistol into waistband holster under my shirt. |

| I use a gray ghost precision crossbody bag in black. I took there patch off the front, and tighten the strap short enough to be used as a fanny pack. It's big enough to hold a vz61 scorpion or a VMAC9, but small enough that it doesn't look out of place. I've never had anybody give me looks or question it. |

There are (or were) a lot of bad belly bands out there. Bad velcro designs that weren't very secure. Instead of a belly band, I'd look at the Phlster Enigma.

The stroller is great, there were several pit bulls running loose for a while in the tiny town I live in and so I tossed at 14" 590 on the shelf under the stroller basket.
