Hello Ladies and Gents,
I am considering the purchase of a Maxpedition Versipack. I have enough EDC needs to justify the purchase of a daily carry bag (keep all "man purse" comments to yourself ). I like the idea of the Versipack because it has the semi-private compartment for concealed carry. While I will always have a firearm on my person, I know myself well enough to know that it must be small or I will “forget” to carry it. I have decided to start pocket carrying a small semi-auto or J-frame on my weak side as my BUG (practice has made me quite proficient with my left hand). I wish to carry the Versipack on my strong side and stoke it with my Springfield XD Subcompact and a spare magazine (for those who are not familiar, the Versipack has a concealed compartment that is lined with Velcro which will allow for the insertion of a holster and a magazine holder). The problem is that I can only view them online and that does not give me a good indication of their size. I need the bag to hold the XD compact and spare mag. in the concealed compartment; which brings me to my question.
Will the compartment of the Fatboy hold both the XD and the magazine or do I need to graduate to the Jumbo? I am trying to keep the bag as small as possible, but as large as necessary. If any of you are using this method of carry, and you have pics, it would really be helpful.
