I'm very pleased with the Bando bag, and would definitely recommend. It's small enough to wear as a fanny pack or across your body, and looks great too. Very unassuming, looks like something you would buy at REI. My one recommendation would be to think ahead about the type of holster you would be paring this with, specifically size and how your firearm will sit inside the holster, inside the bag. I paired my little Glock 43 with a CrossBreed Small Purse Defender (perfect with the hook & loop backing) and everything just fits in the regular Bando, snuggly. Anything larger than a subcompact should definitely go into the Bando XL. With the firearm and additional magazine, I can squeeze car keys, cell phone and wallet in - again, snuggly. Great stuff from Eberlestock, keep up the good work.
