It is a medium size DTOM. A Samsung S7 phone fits like it was made for it. I usually wear it shifted over to the left for sort of a cross draw. Great position for driving and the seatbelt.

I have a 5.11 as well, but it has no extra pockets and will not fit the 30. Keeping it for my wife or if i get a subcompact in the future.
DTOM??

Used to wear them in high-school. We called them ETs. Extra testicals.

I have a Galco concealed carry fanny pack that I bought in the early '90s I don't use it often - but it has been used. It works well - and I've worn it infrequently over the years - particularly in situations where I want to carry but am not wearing something that affords me a belt. The other use is when I'm going to the movies. I'm a big guy, and sitting in a small seat for three hours with a strong side IWB holster in place is a lot less comfortable than sitting there with a fanny pack on my lap.

I figure that the people who recognize it as a carry device are not likely to be the people who will cause me a problem - and it's certainly much better than not carrying. Additionally - it is an old and large version - it conceals a full sized handgun (like a 13 round double stack .45ACP with a spare magazine) in a way that is a lot more comfortable than most of the other available methods (for me). Since I gave up and moved to 9mm it gets a lot less use.
