I bought several sheets of it on clearance several years ago. Never got around to using any of it. When it came time to make a pack holster for that G43 I remembered it. It looks nice. I may make a few others with it soon.
I bought the Switchblade.I've been eyeballing the Eberlestock bag, Cherry Bomb (Which is on sale for a STEAL right now)... but I hear the laptop portion is super restrictive.
Now I'm looking at the 'SwitchBlade' backpack.
Switchblade
A Switchblade. The idea that a knife can be safely carried in your pocket, but rapidly deployed is appealing to many. We’ve taken that same concept and put it into a pack. A magnetic opening handgun sleeve, now with a Nylex material backing for attaching holsters, is the quickest and safest way...eberlestock.com
Anyone using these bags?
It's expensive but magnificent. I've been 'work testing it' the past six months and it's been excellent.
I'm ready to get one, or convert this one, to a full time truck pack.
On another note, I've two of these that I use as a 'gun bag' when I'm not carrying for whatever reason.
Such as going into work, or to the gym, etc. (For leaving in the vehicle)
If I'm not wearing my gun, the holster and all is in the big pouch. And I've a couple spare mags strapped to the outside. And then I have a basic 'survival' kit filling the rest of the pouches in case I ever break down.
Yeah, kinda screams 'I've a GUN!', but I keep it hidden. And if poop ever hits the fan and I need to start walking, I can sling this cross body and still have access to my gat.

Im sure you know this already but make sure the bag is out of sight. Either in a trunk or a blanket tossed over it. There have been a ton of smash and grabs that Ive been watching on reddit.
Agreed. I keep a blanket in the back of the truck cab for the kids and toss it over.

I just bought a Vertx Ready Pack with a few of their tactigami organizers. It is an awesome pack. I wanted this earlier this year but waited on their Black Friday sale. I can say it would have been well worth the full price but 30% off helps. They are offering their whole website at 25% off currently which is still great. I’m still working on the contents of the bag.
Shout out to @RR for the Velcro holster

Use something similar by Maxpedition. Holds G19 and various tools and needs if I go out of town. Easy to throw in car.
Does say "GUN" though.

If you’re looking for something low key I run a vertx ready pack 2.0, osprey also has some nice bags but are more hiking themed. The vertx has most inner panels are capable of taking hook and loop and it also has a molle panel that would work great for a qrf bag if you’re traveling and run into a situation.
Not sure if everyone knows this, but Maxpedition has a 'SPECIAL OFFERS' page.

Right now they have a couple nice bags for closeout sale.

I suggest you buy a backpack that has zero look of a tactical pack. You need to blend in with crowds and not draw attention. Molle on the outside is a no go for me. I have 20L one day bag that has cinches and cross straps in case I need to crawl or run. I like the one below better though. Osprey Heritage Scarab

I'm big and ugly. I don't blend into crowds as it is.
So, I might as well have a folded AK with spare mags in slightly military looking bag.
Pictured is Eberlestock's Switchblade bag that I've been using for work the last year. (Not my actual bag)

I have bought a couple of Vertx products lately (knowing they have already been mentioned) and their modularity with the Tactigami setup is huge. I've NEVER liked any of the premade "organizers" that come in most packs-you know the black nylon mesh with a bunch of pockets that may or may not fit a couple or few of my items, and the rest go unused.

I think non military look is the way to go but quality is something to watch out for. I have a CamelBak Radio Operator (Mother load?) pack that I have been using for years and it is still in great shape. I also have a Mule 3 that I have been abusing for years that is still in use. Outdoor Products and Jan Sport are priced lower and are pretty good too. FWIW a AKM with a folding stock fits in a lot of backpacks.
