I was looking for something small yet large enough to carry a M&P Shield with the 8 round mag. This item works for me but it may not be the best option. I am of the opinion that a CCW on your person is way better than no CCW. The draw / access is slow but I do not expect this to be a major problem in real life. I can carry the 7 round mag as a back up in the pack as well. It will also carry my Glock 23 if desired. A small compartment will carry your phone and keys and a few credit cards/ cash with ease. Do not try to load it up with your blowout kit. There is not that much room. If you want to carry everything you consider a requirement for CCW you may want to look to a larger pack.
Overall I consider it a good option for the price. The additional Velcro loop that attaches to your belt helps keep the pack close to your body. I've worn it and never had any comments as "nice gun," so the general population does not think OMG a gun when they see a guy in shorts and a tee shirt wearing a pack.
