Rush is just a line of bags, over a dozen different ones in it...

I like using just a sling backpack for work. Maxpedition one or clones work fine.

I have a cheap clone of this bag: https://www.maxpedition.com/collections ... 5100611655

Lots of good feedback here! Helped me out on my choice.

Forgot to add the link to the cheap clone I bought.

I’ll second the Maxpedition recommendation. I can’t remember model names but I have one of their smaller “sling” packs as well as a medium sized day pack. I use the sling at times for EDC and the backpack as a gym bag and they’re both well put together.

I like my Vertx Gamut . I think the Maxpedition Gear Entity 21 looks really cool too.

I like bags that don't look tactical, have a dedicated, quickly accessible space for the pistol and can also carry a laptop etc.

My Maxpedition clone is $19 while the real thing is $99. Pretty much the same bag as a guy at work has one and we compared. Material weight is the same, zippers same, etc.

Interesting. Chinese knock off? Kinda feeling burned on sending my money in that direction!
How does the build quality compare?

I'm going to say it's a very good clone. And I was on the same boat. I carry the max daily and left my clone in my UTV. I just recently purchased both and I'm very pleased. Cant really tell the difference on both. Lots of good folk on here that gave me there input and guidance.

I used to commute to work on a motorcycle and used a courier bag. It is quick on/off, although off the bike, it isn't as comfortable as a backpack if you have a heavy load. For that, I use a standard backpack. My current one is a Timbuktu backpack that I bought used on Ebay for $25shipped. It is built as well as any other bag I have seen. Because is is a 'fashion' brand, I think it is low profile for the most part, even with the camo high accents on it.

I use either a Maxpedition or a non-gun specific pack (Aerostich, Timbuktu, Vans, Dickies) courier bag. Depending on the gun, you don't need a gun specific pack with velcro. In a holster, a full size handgun typically fits in the outside pocked on a backpack or in one of the organization pockets inside a courier bag. It also makes it easier to not have to unholster it and put it into another holster.
