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!

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 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.

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?

@sortoftactical 18 күн бұрын

@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 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 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.

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.

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.
