I am looking for a small pouch to hold pistol that can be chest mounted for backpacking. Would this be an inexpensive option.

This is a quite large pouch, I mounted mine on the back of my BOB for my med kit. I believe if you chest mounted the pouch it would likely be in the way. I too am looking for a chest mounted holster for my Glock 17. I've found holster for the Glock 19 and up. Also, if you're carrying concealed, you'll need a CCW permit.....at least in California. Washington, Texas and some other states allow open-carry. Hope this helps.

No, this is not intended for a concealed carry. There are two compartments and the second is removable, the tab on top holds it in the pouch. you may be interested in something like Hill People Gear "Kit Bags" edit- I'm on my mobile.

As previously stated above. But, I think you could search online and find a holder or carrying case that would strap to your belt if you wanted to carry it on your person. Or have a leather smith, which is what I was contemplating, and have a custom carrier made for it. I have carried a lot of different flashlights over the years that come with a light canvas/web type holder and have had each one wear through eventually from everyday use.

having been a backpacker in younger years ,I would say this trail hawk is a little too heavy. for hiking, if you carried it on your belt it should work for you

Most definitely! A couple of questions, what in all are you looking to store? And does this include your weapon/weapons? And the next question is are they long guns or handguns? The best option is to buy a gun safe large enough to accommodate your weapons accessories as well as ammunition. But locked hard cases are also a good option

I am in the great camp. I really like mine and have had no problems with workmanship. I like the layout, but it would be better if the pouches were movable so that you could change the layout to suit different scenarios or use double rifle mag pouches instead of the single ones provided. In a tactical situation I would rather have an excess of rifle mags and less pistol mags. I like the pistol position okay, but here again I would like to be able to relocate it if need be. All in all, however, I like this vest and it is comfortable and adjustable, size wise.

It's too small to hold any glock. It's also not going to securely attach to a bag. You can get something like a TCP or LCP in it

I added an Allen company shotgun shell holder to mine. I also bought that on Amazon for under $15.00. It hooks into the Molle straps and fits perfectly, holding 10 shells. I have since seen some higher capacity options available and may give one a try. I haven't seen any standards with shell holders built in. I'd definitely be interested in one, though.

It will attach to a degree that the pistol will be secure from loss, and allow a proper presentation, but not as rock solid as if it use Molle webbing. The hanger on the bottom of the holster allows you to get creative and increase the stability of the holster. A little shock cord in conjunction with the old school mounting system can make it into a very solid rig. I have a Diamond D Guides Choice holster for my Bear country hiking revolver, but the M12 will work for just about any other task. The flap makes it a bit slow for defending against things that may eat/kill you, but ideal if you need a secure and protective mode to carry your pistol. And the holster is very durable!!

It would work excellent. There is a stabilizer strap for holding the bag tight that most people tuck into the opposite strap slot. With this strap snapped into the single strap the pack is very stable. I use my pack for every hike I have been on, it is my Man Purse.

I purchased this rig last fall for elk hunting. It makes a great case for having survival necessities easily accessible for those deep hunts, especially if you were injured. Outside of hunting, I use the condor for tactical shooting. I can hold 6 5.56 x39 clips and extra gear as well. Additional ammo or accessories like flashlights, Red fits, etc. it is well built and the chest expands internally allowing for water bottles, even a bladder . Only knock I can think of is the shoulder straps. I am 6'6" but thin as a stick. So they slip a little. I have remedied this by having my wife see a cross strap near the neck. Problem solved . Also, the pouches Velcro AND button. I say buy it. I purchased this rig last fall for elk hunting.

It depends on what pistols and where you want to put them in the bag. I carry a large pistol in each of the outer pouches, each in one of those padded fitted pistol cases. I use the inside for headphones, ammo, a couple of tools for adjusting sights, a bit of gun oil, eye protection, etc. You could carry half a dozen guns in this, conceivably.

Probably, it's pretty robust. I don't know how long it would last if you were doing that alot. Take a look at this, this is it's natural home 1QT MOLLE Canteen Pouch Woodland Camo

Mr. Burns, because of the "egg crate" foam design don't believe it will slide around. Don't know where your going but if only taking one rifle you could use the extra space for binoculars, sling, knife etc, "except ammo". Also you'll save on extra luggage, and weight restrictions. Hope this helped. Good luck and Safe Hunting !! Ozz

I used it for a weapon light and tossed everything I didn't need for that purpose. I don't think, but don't remember for sure if it had a pouch.

Its a good buy for the money. When I received the pack I took special care to inspect every inch of the material and sewing. I found no faults in their work. Its a lightweight but strong fullsize backpack. If packed right you could probably get 50 to 75 pounds into it. And Yes you could strap a rifle or handgun to the sides of the pack. Remember you get what you pay for. Sometimes deals and sometimes not. It can be a crapshoot.

I have no idea. But the chest rig also has a few hidden pockets where I can hold a few 40 round magazines if need be. I hope that helps.
