Fanny Pack Holster - Proof of Concept

[Alllen Bundy]

I have found a variety of holsters on ebay and many have button release retention systems that would be a better option for you.

The problem is that I need to mount the holster inside a fanny pack and most holsters are not adaptable for one reason or another. It's a very tight fit inside my Fanny pack which also holds to additional magazines.

With the holster setup that I have now I can draw one handed just about as fast as I could a holster worn at my hip and that still leaves my left hand free to ward off an attacker. But I am looking for ideas for an additional retention system in addition to what I already have. So thanks for the links.

I like a chest pack for such uses.

They make several versions of these. This is the lightest, least expensive version.

The problem is that it is too hot to wear while riding a bicycle when the temperature is much 60°F.

I've been carrying with this fanny pack holster since May 2022. It's out of my way when I ride my bike and it's also about as quick to draw from as a belt worn holster at the side. I can also draw one handed with my fanny pack holster leaving my left arm free. I haven't had any issues with the pistol coming out of the holster since I added the external spring. The new Sig holster design also works better than the original design. I still may add a secondary retention system for redundancy. The only change that I plan to make is to increase the size of the magnets in the holster frame that secure the side flaps. At the moment they are only 18" cubes.

But you aren't pedaling fast on a hot day.

Speaking of fanny packs, anyone used the DeSantis Gunny Sack?
