How to carry in Hill People Kit Bag

[Olim9]

just what else would you carry in something like that?

I'll most likely end up carrying my Shield and a small pouch for some cool packs I use. Would I be better off with the Snubby over the Runners kit bag?

I used a Snubby for a while. With a G19 the pouch was a tight fit for my iPhone/Otterbox and my badge wallet and house key. I ended up getting the Runners pack.

For a Shield, I'd go with the Snubby with one caveat. The need to also carry a larger gun if you wanted. But if you're staying with a Shield, you'll like it fine.

Would wearing this in a suburban area while running make me stick out? I want to try one of these but I don't want to be that guy everyone can tell has a gun right off the bat.

When I saw someone wearing a chest bag like that in the Big City near me, that dude did stick out pretty well for me. But that might be because I knew what the bag was and was interested to see someone actually use one over here? (Besides, he got categorized as a probable good guy due to his good taste in gear. ) Not sure what the average city dweller would think about it, though.

If you're working out or in he woods, I think the HPG bags will blend in. You might be carying keys, a phone, medication, a wallet. Out to dinner or shopping, perhaps not so much.

I have one in black for my formal dinners.

I had loop side of Velcro added to my HPG Kit Bag and then used a Kifaru holster and magazine retainer.

I've been using mine in a suburban area for three years. No issues, including a running route that takes me past one of our patrol officers waiting at the bus stop with his kid. Mine's a foliage green snubby modded with environment-appropriate camo - reflective tape and a couple of red Amphipod LEDs.

Just bought another kit bag. A recon, this time. They have a sale going on, too.

I bought a cheapo 3rd world country style tactical nylon holster. They actually have a use! The holster works well in the HPG bag, if you put a little Velcro on back.


I have done a lot of hiking with mine, and have had no issues with people looking at me like I was crazy or they were freaked out because they knew I had a gun. The only problem I found on this hike was a tarantula on the trail. Oh how I hate them.
