Both this for my wife to conceal and carry. She loves the bag overall but she has trouble drawing her full frame pistol from the concealment pouch. Looking for a compact pistol to complete her attire.

took a chance and purchased this product based on reviews.So glad I did,I have used it hunting and as a CCW bag on trips.It has excelled at both,my M&P compact fits nicely with a couple extra mags.Deer hunting it held the basic survival gear and since i got the left side carry I did'nt fight with my rifle sling for space.Overall a very well thought out bag.

The pack, which I ordered in khaki, is small enough to fit snuggly to my side, and yet large enough on the inside to hold a lot of gear. Excellent workmanship in the stitching & material. I am right handed and purchased this S pack (left side carry) as I find getting to a passport, camera, sun glasses and other travel items was easier when carried on the left side. The two sides pockets provide ample storage for a multitool, a mini-Mag flashlight, small first aid kit and other items. The rear pocket easily accomodates my Glock 26 although it is a little awkward to unzip and with my meaty hands retrieve it quickly. No fast draw for me. The front-most zippered pocket neatly fits my flat badge and ID, but nothing else. The main compartment fits a 16 oz Nalgene bottle and DSLR with a small lens. The storm collar with draw string keeps everything dry when it gets damp out. I added a compact utility pouch to the buckle side of the pouch strap. This pouch will easily hold a point and shoot ...

Maxpedition makes packs and bags that can be counted on for toughness, and this Versipack is no exception. I keep a lot of gear in it, and a small S&W model 627, although I don't use Maxpedition's gun rig, which I'll discuss in my other review. The pack carries everything from a monocular, to a first aid kit, a multitool, to an Al Mar SERE 2000. It's fairly compact, balances nicely and works out to be very comfortable and lightweight. At the price, especially the price at I paid at Optics Planet, it's a great choice.

I really like the bag. I purchased it along with the universal holster to conceal a springfield xd subcompact. I can barely fit my hand in that pocket to get my pistol (im 6'3" w/large hands). So in a "tactical" situation it would be quite hard to quickly access the pisol. Definetly not my first choice for carry in a place I may be engaged in a "situation". The reason i didnt give it a lesser rating is because i was impressed with the quality of the product... all in all if your a small person by all means this bag is for you. if your average to large.. go for the larger size..

This is a great pack that has all the room you need to carry for the day. It makes a fine camera bag along with pockets for other electronics all while concealing your weapon if needed.Expandable options are excellent as well. I added the holster and sheath.

Overall its a good bag. I do miss the second compartment to put a weapon. The waist band should be removable
