Bando Bag, Black, Standard

EDIT APRIL 2026: Still love this bag a year and a half later, and carry it every day, but wanted to flag something for readers. I have carried two handguns in this bag (Kel-Tec p32 and S&W bodyguard 2.0) that all occasionally gave me the same problem: while in the bag, the magazine release somehow got depressed, half ejecting the magazine. This is obviously a big problem, but I think it is all issue that all bags like this are susceptible to, not just this one. It's also yet another example of how paddle mag releases are better than push button...but I digress. For now I carry a snubnose .38 revolver in the pistol pouch, which works fine. I carry even more stuff in the other pockets than I did at the time of the review below--I've added eye drops, cash, my keys, a flashlight, a tiny thing of hand sanitizer, and a few more small things. It remains incredibly useful. Just be very careful about the magazine ejection issue. ......................... I didn't want to buy this bag originally because I felt it was unnecessarily expensive, but after buying a cheaper one and being unsatisfied with it, I figured I'd give it a shot. Glad I did. It is very high quality and rugged. I went with the smaller (non-XL) version. It holds everything I need-- .32 ACP Keltec P32 in the pistol pocket; pepper gel, 12" collapsible baton, and tourniquet in the middle pocket; two doses of narcan in the front pocket. I could fit more stuff in the middle pocket if I wanted to, like money or a small wallet. I will say that the pistol pocket on the non-XL version is pretty small. I think you could fit a Shield, EC9, P238, Bodyguard/Bodyguard 2.0, Tomcat, or something similar sized in there, but probably nothing too much larger. Basically anything that could conceivably be called a pocket pistol, even in the larger side of that category, would work. I don't think I could fit my G19 in this, but I haven't tried. There's some discussion about using this bag as an over-the-shoulder sling bag vs fanny pack. I'm a relatively slim guy (5'10 165), and by extending the included belt as far as it would go, I can fairly easily use this as a sling bag. That's how I usually carry it, as I think it's actually less conspicuous (based on where I live and how I look, anyway) than a fanny pack. If you're a big fella or lady, though, it probably isn't going to work, and you may have to get some kind of extension.

Schnelle Lieferung, sehr schöne, geräumige Tasche

Sehr Hochwertige Bauchtasche mit einem durchdachten Konzept. Allerdings ist der Preis ziemlich teuer.

The bag is very high quality and serves it's purpose well. The zippers can be a little stubborn, mostly in closing the pockets. The inside pocket fits my Ruger lcr and pocket holster perfectly. I leave the pocket open about one to two inches, which keeps the zipper loops from crossing each other and causing me to pull on the loops the wrong way, delaying the draw. I'm a small guy, so I can easily use this as a sling bag instead of a fanny pack, which I prefer. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase.

My first concern was the buckles, when I pulled it out of the package, boy was I glad to see good quality buckles! Overall the materials seem sturdy and it feels well made and the brown looks fire! It had plenty of room for my freedom seed dispenser, and the essential med gear along with a couple other EDC items. This is my first Eberlestock item, and I can see the future, there will be more!
