I've heard of these referred to as man purses, etc., but am curious as to whether or not anyone has bought one and what their impressions are? I'm thinking of buying one for day hiking and/or travel, but want to know how well it's made, is it large enough to carry a medium size pistol (namely USP compact), is it functional (are the pockets large enough to serve a purpose and are there enough of them)? I'm secure enough to carry around a "murse" as long as it serves its purpose and does so well. Opinions? Observations? (Besides the fact that they are "pricey") |
this is kinda what i figured...I'm assuming that it's one of those things you're glad you have when they're necessary, but the majority of the time it isn't being used (kinda like a CCW). |
he also doesn't have to worry about all of those "pesky girls" talking to him when ever he puts it on. |
| I have the fatboy pack , which I like very much . There's plenty of room for what you would carry for a day hike . Comfortable to wear and made to take a beating . It has 11 pockets and 8 slip in type holders . The belt is 2" with a sliding shoulder pad . I paid $59 for it at a show and it's worth it IMO. My Kimber compact fits perfect in one of the main pocket's smaller pocket's. Hope this helps you. |

I've been tempted to take mine to work, but I've only been there a month, and it's a temp job that I really hope will either get extended or that I'll get hired directly. So I don't want to do anything that people might consider "strange" I will be taking it to the gun show tomorrow though |
Tell that to the nice blonde I went hiking with yesterday.

Do you want the S-type or the normal type for a right-handed person and their pistol? And who are the big online retailers for Maxpedition? Amazon only has the fatboy, not the jumbo and no sign of the holster or mag carriers.

I bought mine from SKD tactical off this site. If you want extra crap on it, there are molle gear attachments on it. I try to travel as light as possible though. |
I've seen the nalgene cap retention straps break before, and I'd rather it doesn't bounce around. Also, I kind of like the sleeves that gregory uses on their buttpacks as they insulate the bottle a bit. |
