Bando Bag

Excellent quality, bought for my wife to enable her to carry her firearm when she goes on walks and or hikes. She loves it!

All of my full sized Sigs fit great and the incidentals needed fit in the front compartments, killing any potential printing. Would buy again.

I love this bag! It’s very comfort, spacious, and well built. It fits all of my EDC items comfortably and the concealed carry pocket is very accessible.

A loop feild on both sides of CCW pouch would be beneficial there for you can use a right handed holster. That you mostly already own.

Great bag!

Product was a gift for someone. Received the wrong color. Ordered cobalt blue, received black. Otherwise, great product.

I bought the XL version, even though i carry a Hellcat Pro, to make sure i had enough room to position my handgun the way i wanted, and still be able to have other essentials in the other pouches.

If you tuck the other zipper ends into their "garage" pouches, they stay out of the way of the "main" zipper pulls for your CCW, and by not replacing the other zipper pulls with something else, the CCW pocket's zipper pulls stand out less.

That said, the corners of the top of the bag/zip track are a little too acute/sharp too be able to easily zip open one handed or rip open like some other brands can.

I added a nylon webbing pull tab to the inside front of the CCW pouch (the non loop side) about in the middle of the top track length, with enough excess that it reaches the corner of the zip track/pack. I then removed the zipper pulls and attached them to the webbing, so that the pulls still stick out with the zippers themselves pulled shut pinching the pulls, and have this staged at the sharp corner.
This allows me to wear the pack as a sling and rip open the CCW compartment with my non dominant hand, giving me access to my holstered/velcroed CCW.

That said, depending on what you have in the other pockets and how they're arranged in there, it can mess up the "grip and rip) move and the bag can crumple, preventing quick/easy access to the handgun's grip.

If the top corners of the bag were more rounded, and the fabric between the CCW compartment and the other compartments reinforced with some stiffer sheet, it would be easier to rip open the pouch one handed without worrying about how you fill the rest of the pack.

For me, the strap length was sufficient to wear as a sling bag (5'6”, 165lb, 40” chest, chonky athletic build).

All in all though, I'm quite happy with the bag and the cobalt blue color definitely helps mask the fact that this is a CCW bag. The plain grey option might be better as the zipper track isn't a contrasting color, so is even less noticeable that there's another pocket in the back.
