...so I bought a Safepacker. Now I carry in plain sight, year round, and I don't care who sees it.

After reading rave reviews on the SafePacker, I ordered one and a strap.  Occasionally I am in a hurry (and sweatpants), and don't feel like strapping something on for Home Depot visits or the like.  I have to say that I am not a big fan of the SafePacker, though.  Maybe I'll warm up to it someday, but until then, I have reverted to my 5.11 PUSH pack with a Galco inside for those instances when I opt for off-body carry.

I've never tried it for off-body carry: I wear it on my belt, at my right hip, as if it were a regular OWB holster.
The Glock 29 size is small, and I'm 6'3" 260 lb, so it isn't really that noticeable.

I fix PCs in strangers' houses for a living. In four years, exactly one person has asked, "What's in the black pouch?"
I told him, and I offered to leave [without fixing his PC] if he had a problem with it. He didn't. He's still a customer.

I have a shoulder strap on the larger Safepacker next to my bed. If I get up at night to investigate a noise, I can slip my G20 and a spare mag over my shoulder just like that.

Mossie do you know what Hurlburt field is like this time of year? I only ask because i will be spending a few weeks there in the near future and it looks like you were in the general area.

Gross LOL.  Its your typical FL weather.  Muggy and hot.  Typically very high humidity, but overall, not a horrible area. Pretty much beach front.

There's a bar right on the FL AL border that is (was) a good time.  Trying to remember the name of it.  Might be black balled by now.  I know USN was talking about BB'ing it as I was leaving.  Not sure if it ever was. 

If you get over towards Pensacola (USNB), they've got anything and everything. Go see the Blue Angels if you get a chance.  Nice guys.
