Has anyone actually used one for concealed carry or a low vis "battle" belt? I'd want to carry at least a full or compact sized 2011, 2+1 mags, knife, at the minimum through some training/classes. I've seen and read the reviews, they all say it can do this and that, but has this become a staple in anyone's rotation? Why or why not. Thank you in advance.
I have not used this, I ended up going to a fanny pack in the woods with the dog as that's where I mainly need to carry more then my daily edc layout, however I can see this being a nice asset for some, but a niche application for the most part. If you get one, please let me know how it goesQuote:

In my Clutch I carried a Glock 19, 3 Glock 24 round magazines, a couple protein bars, a small IFAK, and a small pair of binos. I could also shove a couple of water bottles in the back pockets but this was going a bit overboard. I wore this five days a week for about a year. It was not the best set up and in my opinion, no substitute for a good belt set up. However it did hold a lot of stuff in reasonable comfort. With the hoodie, it 100% concealed the entire load. It is a bit difficult to draw from and requires practice to become proficient.
I feel it made me look less of a target than using a backpack and was easier to gain access to my items.
Thankfully I never needed to use it.
Since then I have not used it much. I load it up for road trips but find it too much for EDC.
I hope this helps.
