Less than three minutes after picking up the Escape & Evasion Bag from Diamondback Tactical, I knew it was (a) heavy duty without being heavy, (b) extremely well made in every detail, and (c) packed with too many functional features to cover here. I also adopted it for immediate, daily use. Go to the Web site for info on features and dimensions, but what it doesn’t say is how comfortably it carries, how smooth and supple the material and construction are, and the “clincher” for me: a very low noise signature. This is a terrific all-around bag at a surprisingly low price. www.diamondbacktactical.com Dillon Precision’s enormously popular Wilderness Safepacker is solidly made. This “Notta-Holster” can be hand-carried like a day planner, slung from a shoulder, clipped to a belt or slipped into a larger bag. Our pal Mark Pixler at Dillon was already a fan — then he witnessed another man’s life saved by his Safepacker. Now he’s a fanatic about it. Heck of a testimonial, huh? www.dillonprecision.com Designed for military women, the BLACKHAWK! Tactical Handbag has proven popular with female cops and other women who could care less about faux-fur trim and want a tank-tough utilitarian “bag for all seasons.” With a waterproof interior, a rugged, abrasion-resistant Hawk-Tex bottom and military-grade buckles and straps, a woman can be assured her Tactical Handbag will still be serving when those cutesy fashion purses are KIA. All the right compartments and pouches, inside and out, in black, coyote tan and foliage green. www.blackhawk.com The hardy Hoplite warriors at Gunsite like the Eagle Tactical Attaché so much they’ve graced it with their black raven insignia and sell it in their online pro shop. Only the informed might suspect a hidden howitzer rides between the front flapped pouch and the spacious main compartment. That’s Gunsite Director of Ops Ed Head’s well-worn 1911 with the gorgeous grips peekin’ out – the big showoff. I gotta admit though, that showoff sure knows his gear. www.gunsite.com CrossBreed Holster’s CCSB – Concealed Carry Shoulder Bag – looks as good serving a man as it does a woman; rich, hand-stitched leather you could pass along to grandchildren, and one of the slickest, quietest cannon-concealment rigs ever. Two sizes accommodate lots of gear, and the included Ohai Velcrobacked holster keeps your handgun handy. www.crossbreedholsters.com Leave it to a former SEAL to spot the gap between too-small overnighter bags and monster-bags you need two men and a boy to carry – and fill it with a tough, thoughtfully-structured mid-size gear carrier. That’s what Chris Osman, CEO of TAG – Tactical Assault Gear – has done with his Deployment Bag. Read the dimensions of the main and side compartments on his website, and I think you’ll see it’s perfect for `bout 90 percent of your travel needs. Then read about this: all TAG gear is 100 percent guaranteed for life, and 100 percent made in the USA. www.tacticalassaultgear.com Maxpedition Hard-Use Gear has something for everyone, including “neat freaks” packin’ handfuls of pens, mini-lights, PDA’s, cell phones and digital gizmos – and who then try to keep `em neat. The Neat Freak will do it in style, slung from a shoulder, hitched on a belt or dropped into a bigger bag. A wide-opening clamshell design puts everything at your fingertips – or closed up tight and secure. If you’re tired of all that pocket litter threatening to pull your pants down, or your messenger bag sounding like a washing machine fulla silverware, get a Neat Freak. www.maxpedition.com WWW.AMERICANHANDGUNNER.COM If you own a handgun and don’t know about Safe Direction’s slug-stopping, bullet-barrier technology and products, go to the website and learn it now, please, okay? Watch the videos, and you’ll understand why their new High Security Case is so cool. It’s like a zippered, key-locking bank bag, but far stronger, equipped with accommodation for a variety of handguns, grommet provision for locking it to a stationary object with a cable lock or handcuffs, and of course, Safe Direction’s proven Ballistic Containment System built in. www.safedirection.com 67
