What are the disadvantages of fanny pack concealed carry?

The primary disadvantages include a potentially slower draw speed compared to open or hip carry. Additionally, highly observant individuals or trained professionals might still detect the firearm's presence.

Which commercial fanny pack brands are good for modification?

Brands like Eastpak, Jansport, REI, Pacsafe, and Eagle Creek offer suitable models. Look for packs with enough internal space and a design that can be easily modified with Velcro and a holster base.
