Select Carry Pistol Pouch

Comments about 5.11 Tactical Select Carry Pistol Pouch:

I've had mine for a couple months now and carry it daily. I've used it with both my 19 & LCP.

With the 19 it's just a little awkward but considering the amount of fire power you can carry with this pack, 19 + 2 magazines(46 rounds), comfortably! It's amazing.

For the LCP it's perfect. With the LCP & 2 magazines in the pouch you hardly know it's there. Weight/comfort/range of motion isn't an issue at all. Easy to wear all day, excellent for hiking or biking.

If it prints at all it's the 2 magazines showing through the front of the pouch. That's an easy fix.

Sorry guys but I cut the 5.11 tag off the front. I really don't want people knowing it's a covert carry pack and the 5.11 tag is a dead give away. Without the tag it's just another fanny pack & even people that know 5.11 prob don't look twice at it.

Very nice, heave material. Amazing that I can carry my pistol & 30 rounds (2 extra clips) in such a small,comfortable package. I don't think you would ever guess what's inside this pac unless you recognized the 5.11 logo. And that's a problem, the logo tag should not be visible. Also the waist strap is way to long. You are going to have to deal with a good amount of extra strap.

I carry a HK P2000 9mm (LEM) in mine. It rides at about 2 o'clock and I run my belt through the first/right side padded loop. This method makes it perfectly stable and I can run without any worry whatsoever of it sliding down. I don't use the pull tabs - instead, I've tucked one of the zipper pulls under one of the tini loops on the bottom and use the other zipper to open the pouch. I've also removed the zipper pulls from the small (and mostly useless) side pockets. This way there's only one zipper to pull to draw the weapon, eliminating any confusion. So to draw, I reach over with my left hand to pull the zipper up and over (from the far side) while simultaneously reaching in with my right hand to grasp the weapon. The only thing is, you have to make sure you don't try to extract the gun before the zipper has cleared the rear sight - otherwise the rear sight can get caught. Practice makes perfect.

This setup functions great in my opinion. I use the khaki one and have never gotten any strange looks (that I've noticed). I really couldn't care less to be honest. I'm a slim guy so concealing a holstered pistol (like the P2000) is almost impossible. I don't know what I'd change, really.

I was looking for a carry option for light clothing and hot weather. In Florida, a LOT of people wear fanny packs, so I think I fit right in. The contrasting front pouch cover makes it LOOK like a smallish pack, but even a large weapon of a service pistol size (Ruger P95) fits. A quick pull on the tab and the weapon is ready.

Well-made, great, wide, strong belt, fits a largish guy like me.

Also- a great option in the vehicle- just slide it around to the front and put the lap belt under it.

Great piece of equipment - Thank you 5.11.
This thing does exactly what it's designed for. I work primarily in third world countries and have extremely high standards for my gear. I use this each and every day—no exceptions—and am incredibly pleased.

My only complaint: what to do with excess strap material? Keep in mind that this is only an issue because I have a small waist (30 inch). When adjusted for my size, the excess straps hang down awkwardly, even when the nylon loops (intended to prevent this) are fully extended (5.11-is there a way to make one stay in place? Possibly Velcro?)
