great info and great review. Thanks! I have a Vertx SOPC too and it also go cloudy very quickly.
Nice summary. I have been going down the same rabbit hole. Have not tried the 945 bag yet. The Vertx was so close to being perfect for me but its lack of structure was a killer along with the front phone pouch. Marsupial has a nice bag for sub compacts. I just received a bag from Tight Chutes which so far has the best craftsmanship of all of them. Unfortunately I got the smallest size which works great for the P365X Macro but not my Staccato CS which is my preferred EDC. Again, great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks, also thanks for watching!
My wife and I just got the XL's in for upcoming summer use. Quality is top notch.
@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy agreed. I wish they were American made but I also understand economics. I still love mine.
The phone pouch really kills it
That 945 bag looks like a winner!
I really like both of mine.
I use the SOCP. The floppy loop material in the gun compartment is an easy fix. I use a Viktos Universal gun sleeve with an MR920 (glock19), and it works just fine. I wish these companies would be more truthful on their capacity claims. You aren't fitting a full-size G17 with a wallet, keys, etc.
I will have to check out that Viktos product for sure
I would suggest seeing it up, and practicing, with the pull tab on the weak side. I would think it will speed up your draw. I'm no professional but that's what I would try to get closer to speeds of iwb.
This is what youtube is for
Thanks!
So helpful thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Loving the video, and subbed!
Thank you! More EDC coming soon.
Awesome comparisons bro👌🏽💯 just wondering with the 945 Ind. bag, are you able to sling it to any shoulder and still be able to draw your firearm from either hand? Just wondering cuz I usually wear my shoulder bags on my left side. But I noticed everyone doing reviews on this bag, it’s alway slung over the right shoulder for right handed shooters. Thank you in advance for any feedback.
I spent a bunch of money to find an off body carry solution
The 945 bag is almost apples to apples the 5.11 LV6. The vertx Socp is made for 43x sized guns and smaller. The LV6 is more discreet then all of these. What works for me is to use a holster system that goes in any bag like what crossbreed offers. Systems like this can go in any of the slings you see the metrosexuals carry, or as my wife calls them murses.
It's so nice little bag but for $160 I'll wait until it comes down in price.
I just got the 945I small and it's a great bag. My G26 fits perfectly. I use it as a sling and the access and draw is super quick.
Glad to hear it
GREAT review and you have a new subscriber. I was very interested in the 945 and for the same reasons you like it best. How would you rate the 945 against the Eberlestock Bando and Bando XL?
@1funcar I have the Bando and it is well made. It will not draw anywhere near the speed of the 945. I now use my Bando for my stethescope and trauma sheers when I work ambulance and hospital shifts.
I have used fanny packs as my everyday purse for years now. I've just started looking into carry bags. I like the 945 but wish the front pocket was more the size like the main pocket. Big enough to hold a thicker wallet, checkbook, battery pack, charger cable, etc.
The Bando bag might be more for you. I just dont like the slow draw/gun access. Otherwise it rocks.
I knew I was making the right decision. My shadow systems MR920P will be here next week
Good decision!
As soon as they release other colors I’ll be getting one.
They got tan color now 😆✌️
I hate the SOCP for the flop! 😂
It works better as a fanny pack than it does a cross body. I got just the holster from 945 and use that in the SOCP and another bag I have, and it works much better than what came with the vertex pack.
I couldn't agree more
Great video! Have you had any interaction with the Fieldcraft Survival fanny pack?
I have not. Price seems good. I don't think drawing a gun will be as easy as the 945.
Velcro is a brand name for the system of "hook and loop" attachment. So just call it hook and loop if you don't want to say Velcro as it is a copyrighted name, like Kleenex, Q-Tip, or Xerox.
I ordered the Vertx. But it was the everyday carry one. Blends in more. Looks like the LuLu Lemon one. Very flimsy, the clip was horrible. Could EASILY come undone accidentally. And as a CCW. You are responsible for that. Too many “what ifs”
I ordered the 945 Industries. It is a good bit more expensive. But does come with a custom kydex holster. Which is actually one of my favorite parts. Most “Velcro holsters” are very basic. Seems they just manufacture a flat back holster and glue Velcro to it. It works. But can be finicky to draw.
The 945 holster is a full kydex holster with a flap of Velcro bolted to the holster (doesn’t interfere with the firearm) but allows a slight lift up on the holster to allow a MUCH more secure purchase on the firearm.
Again, it isn’t cheap. But it’s definitely not made as cheaply as the Vertx. Plus nearly every gun reviewer on YT has a 10% off code. As well as a generous Military Discount.
The first thing I did was cut out the cell phone pouch
Great review, my wife is looking for a carry option and she wears dresses often so IWB is not practical. Thank you!
@@staticclay my pleasure. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@sortoftactical Cheers my man.
945!
I concur.
Try the eberlestock bando xl
did the elastic velcro ever come in for the extra mag in the 945 industries bag? would love to know if it worked out!
I'm a slacker. I still need to order it. It will get ordered this week. Sorry I left you hangin
QVO tactical has Velcro panels with mounting holes for kydex holsters.
@@scottcampbell2585 I've never heard of them. Thanks for the heads up
@@sortoftactical the wait is worth it.
Did you sort out a magazine carrier option? Thanks in advance.
Not yet. I started going to paramedic school and have been swamped. I will get on it though.
Definitely looking forward to the magazine holder update.
@@1funcar I just found one in stick and it should be here withing a week.
Yes, it can be as fast, if not faster, than appendix. All u have to do is train
Elite Survival Systems Fanny pack? Bando ?
I just got a Bando. I will likely do a video but it isnt my favorite for gun carry.
I took a razor blade and carefully removed the badge on the 945
Doesmt matter. In another couple months everyone's going to know it's a gun pouch anyway
945 is 3x the price for the same as vertx
All your complaints with the Vertx do not exist in the 2.0 version (with the exception of the minor nit with the belt strap).
I had not seen the new one. Thanks for letting me know. I may have to revisit this.
945 makes an additional pouch for a spare mag
I have the secondary pouch. It is good quality, I just dont like it.
The 945 bag would be great for pregnancy
Hey, I know I've gained a few but...
I hate those sling it's like look at me I'm a hipster and I love gear more than training with your weapon lol
I totally get that, some carry options are just not always viable.
@sortoftactical I feel like if your going to do a sling why not just open carry or do they think that people don't know what's in there chest sling lol everyone knows .
@@charles17508 Gun people know. Non gun people are completely oblivious. I had one person ask why I carry a big chest bag. I told him that I carry my medical supplies in it and all he said was oh, cool. Nobody else has bothered to ask and most dont notice whats more than 2 feet in front of them.
What kind of wallet do you have?
Just some really thin, cheap, Amazon wallet. No magnets, doesnt fold or open. Really slim. Similar to this: www.amazon.com/Travelambo-Pocket-Minimalist-Leather-Blocking/dp/B073D2J5ZS/ref=sr_1_26?crid=2IIUYCW2TLSVB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Wcv-H1oCnxR6q3O0lMugXLO8KjXD8OTVxcLm_SJZ12KlVp56HhmMiMUIRgpzHFCSCFZqpB29WlXrd8iUR-zmRAipQnSPxZgclH4zbDLWT-XHpFjJ8fuuiTOmxT_4bZY-whlfNYLqnFo6W5B7TPND0ygx78OCj_Z_cwFp9YPMM7xoyKeSBM22Re-kvx8Lfv5_6W2xo49UpF4qkZAd5WnbcDVuHpcs7mSNG5QFDaZNPqzVz9e64hV2VKHscq7OcNSihc0PoGU022mnbfdS-0RAd0VIdpKFFBLN3HRr01E4Xfo.CZCUmEFZ3k4y8MQh3xHENZx3w2H7mjaBVW8JPjq_VCA&dib_tag=se&keywords=thin+wallet&qid=1718978947&sprefix=thin+walle%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-26
