PICKING THE RIGHT FANNY PACK HOLSTER

There are plenty of designs out there. Each of them comes made of a different material, color or even includes a different number of pockets. If you want to make sure that you are picking the right one consider these most crucial points.

• Gun fanny pack capacity: Make sure your fanny pack has enough pockets and space for all your everyday carry items and that it can accommodate your pistol.
• Size of the strap: Make sure the strap of the fanny pack is long enough for your waist or chest size and that it is adjustable
• Style of bum bag: Yes, this is important too. From color to design, make sure you are picking a tactical fanny pack holster or everyday fanny pack that does not scream when combined with your clothing.
• Gun attachment: Lastly, the most important point. Make sure you are satisfied with the attachment solution the pistol fanny pack provides. Avoid fanny packs that do not offer any kind of holster and your gun freely floats in one of the pockets. A good one usually at least provides a Velcro wall that helps with easy attachment & detachment of the holster.

HOW TO WEAR FANNY PACK FOR CONCEALED CARRY?

The answer to this question is pretty easy and straightforward. There are 3 main styles of how to possibly wear & use a concealed carry waist pack. We don’t recommend the last one. Let’s get through them.

CONCEALED CARRY HIP BAG

This is a classic position that comes to your mind when you say fanny pack concealed carry. The bag itself should be located in the appendix area. The gun is safely in front of your body and you have full control over its use. Just make sure the gun is angled upwards in the bag so your draw is fast & fluent. Drawing would feel a little similar to the cross-draw.

The disadvantage of this position is that it is outdated. People do not wear fanny packs like this anymore so it might straight away give out you have a handgun in it. This is however not valid in case you are doing sports. A Fanny pack positioned around the hips is popular with cyclists, during hiking or any other sport where it is still socially acceptable.

CHEST FANNY PACK

Modern & relevant style of how to wear a concealed carry fannypack. You have surely already seen a lot of folks carrying their belongings in this way and this is a good sign for possible concealed carry. If you see people like that around you it means it's common and it reduces the chance somebody would suspect you carry a gun in it.

The gun waist pack should be positioned on your chest in front of your body, which gives you full control over your pistol. The strap would go over your shoulder and under your weaker hand. Drawing from this position usually requires a little practice as the gun is quite high on your body and the grip points upwards. It is similar to drawing from a chest holster.

BUMBAG AS A BACKPACK

The fanny pack gun holster is on your body in the same manner as with a chest position, however this time it is not in front of your body but on your back. We strongly do not recommend carrying in this way as your draw becomes lengthy, and inefficient and your belongings along your gun might be easily stolen. You basically don’t have enough control over your gun.
