Are you unable or unwilling to conceal your firearm on your body at all times? Off-body carry may be the solution. In this video, Rock Island Armory dives into the benefits and methods to conceal carry off-body in a fanny pack, sling bag or backpack — and who these methods may work for.
From casual-looking fanny packs that keep your EDC gear close at hand to tactical sling bags designed for quick access and backpacks that really create space for more, we break down what each option offers in terms of speed, concealment and comfort. Keep in mind that your off-body carry solution should include secure compartments, retention and ease of access under stress.
Concealed carry in a holster or your belt isn’t always practical, but remember that off-body carry comes with its own challenges, including slower draw times and the need for extra situational awareness. Stay informed, stay legal and always train with the setup you plan to use.
Before you decide how to carry, make sure you understand your state and local laws. Some jurisdictions have specific rules about concealed and off-body carry, especially when it comes to leaving firearms unattended or storing them in bags.
