I have some kind of versipack clone I ordered off of etsy. It's full of diapers/wipes and other baby stuff. It works and isn't ginormous like the baby bag my wife likes to carry around.

I'm not a big fan, they look too "tactical" for EDC in most situations. I do have a bag but it's just an old Czech bread bag with a strap. Doesn't look too Rambo-ish and doesn't look like a murse.

I bought a $250 Tumi just big enough for an iPad.
Tactical as fuck. Green canvas. Magnet closure. People see me walking, with that shoulder strap emphasizing one man-boob. They know not to fuck with me. I may even carry a charging cord and NYC subway passes in it. #NoLimitCrackah |

Never called it a man purse, but I have a few that I normally use when outdoors.
I have an old Timbuk2 bag for biking. (You can design them with your own colors) 
I use my massive Jandd Mountaineering bag for travel (it expands). This one is about 20 years old, and still looks new. Built like a tank. 
For hiking, I have a couple sizes of the Mountainsmith Lumbar Packs. Can be either a shoulder bag or "fanny" pack.

I use the Propper OTS bag almost everyday and I am a big fan. I carry my tablet, knife, flashlight, writing instrument, multi tool and a wide assortment of other things depending on where I'm going. I do carry my sidearm in it every once in awhile depending on how I'm dressed or where I'm going. I don't get bothered by what people think so the "murse" comments go unnoticed. It is the perfect size for me and easy to carry.

I have that UTG bag, been using it for about 3 years now. It usually holds a 1911 in a holster in the zipper pouch, a mess of magazines in the main pouch with some gloves, and in the other compartment I usually have some bandaids and other boo-boo stuff, antacids, asprins, spare batteries, screwdriver, multitool and a crescent wrench. I leave the side bottle pouch empty in case I want to put a water bottle in there. I usually leave it on the car seat when I'm driving, and it's a great place to stash my carry gun when I'm headed into a posted location.
I have no complaints. The Maxpedition is nicer, but I'm not sure it's twice as nice. |

I have a Timbuktu messenger bag. It's much more like a briefcase than a murse. I like it, but I wish it had an outside pocket for easy access to things like airline tickets and other travel documents.
The Maxpedition shoulder bags and their clones scream "I have a gun" as loudly as those safari vests IMO. |

I got a cool looking bag, Maxpediton active shooter bag I think. I got it as a diaper bag with the intention of using it as a man bag after the kids were out of diapers. Now it sits in the basement not used at all. I'll find something to do with it.
Bags like this seem like a good idea but are a hassle to use for me at least. I also never see anyone with one. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I got a 5.11 Moab 6 a while back, it sucked, the CCW pocket is too far forward and you can't put a full size from in it without it flopping forward. It is also too small for a tablet and didn't fit most of my EDC crap. |

I also have the UTG.
I have mine overloaded with tools for work along with my edc with wallet, checkbook, flashlight, knife etc. It is comfortable to carry over the shoulder, but a handle like on the Maxpedition bags would come in handy. If I had it to do over again, I would choose a more traditional, less tactical-ish bag. I think something slightly larger that would accommodate a small laptop or tablet would be better for me. |

I've recently gone away from tactical and I'm using a Filson waxed canvas 72 hour shoulder bag. Big enough for the laptop and cables and bunch of other stuff, but not so big that I look like I'm headed to the airport.

The thing I like about the UTG/Maxpedition styles is that they seem like they're easy to hold tight/keep close to your body.

Sometimes, it helps to be "tactical" when one has kids. I prefer my Drago backpack over a "murse".
Drago Backpack I carry it on daily basis to work and keep stuff like pens, pencils, a Surefire flashlight, etc. in it. Plus, it has two separate pockets so I can carry my lunch in one and reading materials in the other. It has also proven nice during the times that security has been tighten at my place of work or flying, I can have everything in the bag by the time I get to the door/gate and can breeze through security. I also will carry it on overnight trips, using it as a laptop bag [it is just big enough to hold my ancient HP Pavilion laptop, or something to carry purchases home in and through the back door without getting too much attention  Finally, it was great to have at the NRA Annual Meeting as I was able to pick up freebies to my heart's content and carry them in something other than those cheap plastic bag. My father, seeing what I was doing, then had to buy him a bag for himself (he took the messenger bag route, IIRC).
For longer trips or ones in which I need to carry more stuff, I have one of those USGI MOLLE assault packs. The separate radio pouch that one can buy serves as a laptop holder in mine, and I can cram as much chargers, food & drink, diapers, books, toys, etc. in to the pack's pockets, sustainment pouches, and waist pouch slung underneath it. Kiddie blankets can be secured to the top of it. My camera bag can also be attached to the front of the pack as well so I'm only keeping up with one backpack. About the only problem with it is my wife is constantly worried that someone will steal it because, "It looks too nice." James |
