   Just did my first 5 miler with this pack this morning. Took about a mile to get used to it as it is a bit bigger than a normal running belt that would hold keys/cards etc. But I have to say that for its size it felt great and my .22 fit perfectly inside with no movement that I could feel. I have a Samsung Galaxy Edge 7+ and it fit fine in the front compartment. The backing for the belt dried quickly and I feel like I had a better run without having the phone on my arm. I feel like I got a good deal for the price with this belt, something that I have been looking for a while now.

   I really like this running pack. The pouch has a velcro elastic holster that fits a Sig P938 with a viridian laser and two additional 7 round mags pretty well. It will fit a few cards, keys (not on a ring), and a iPhone 7 with a case in the front pouch but it is a very tight fit. I need to use both hands to get the phone in and out and that’s with a pretty small and slim single stack pistol and mags. I use this on my mountain/road bikes or for hiking/walking and absolutely love it! It even has places on both sides on the elastic right next to the water bottles for a knife or a flashlight! It’s a little floppy with all that weight in it for running,though. I have the small size for running but it holds only one additional magazine and the phone must be a smaller size (non phablet) and without a case. Again… very tight fit. I have some very minor concerns/observations. The bottles are super difficult to get in and out of the elastic… but they won’t fall out. The front pouch could have just a little more depth… but it holds what I need. The pull tabs that are there to assist with a speedy opening of the rear pouch don’t work very well. It seems like the zippers aren’t free enough to allow you to pull them open… but the zippers work just fine and they for sure won’t just open if you get it snagged. Still 5 stars if you ask me!!!!!

   It fits my Walther PPS M2 no problem, and it also fits my Ruger Security-9 if I want to carry something that big. The only thing I dislike is the holster it comes with. It keeps your gun from moving around, and the velcro used is high quality, but it’s just a stretchy band. I can imagine the trigger getting snagged on the stretchy cloth if you ever had to re-holster your weapon, so be mindful of that. I have ordered an Alien Gear Hook and Loop Holster to replace it but I won’t know if that will fit until it arrives. I’ll try to update this review when it does and add pictures if it fits. The only other thing I can say is that the compartment is a tight fit, no matter if you’re holstering a single or a double stack compact or smaller firearm. They could have added maybe a quarter to a half inch of thickness and it would leave the front zipper pocket more useful. As of now, it’s so tight you can’t really fit anything in it other than maybe your ID, or other cards or cash. For me, I simply use it for my ID, my CCW permit, medical Card, and maybe some cash or a credit card. Beyond that there just isn’t room for anything in that outside pocket. I have a can of pepper spray that I bring with me for non-lethal options, but it won’t fit with the gun in that outside pocket, and you certainly don’t want anything in the pocket with the firearm since there’s no rigid trigger guard. Update: The Alien Gear Hook and Loop Holster for my Walther PPS M2 LE fits just fine. Granted, it takes u p all the space but I’m happy with it. I can move the holster from my GunPack to anywhere I have a hook and loop landing pad easily. I’ve added a pic. Even managed to use the extended magazine if you position it just right. But still the pocket in the front flap is fairly useless for anything except maybe your ID or some cash.

   So far, so good. Bought for trail a trail running after a few encounters with feral hogs. I was happy with how thin it is and unassuming it is. It doesn’t scream “weapon”. I’m able to holster my M&P Shield at a reasonable draw angle in the large size. With some practice, I could be pretty fast with it. More important, I’ve run 5 miles with it shirtless, and no discomfort. I feel like I could easily run several hours with it. It seems to flex and move with me well, and the textureed backing of the material isn’t too aggressive. My only minor criticism is that the pull tabs are a bit small and catch my thumb, but I remedied the issue by hooking a carbineer through. I would prefer that it had a heavy duty metal zipper to ensure reliability, but the current set up seems to be good quality. All-and-all, this was the solution I was looking for.
