I plan to carry my M&P 9c into Big Bend and it's the two legged animals that have me the most concerned this year. My photo-pack doesn't have a waist belt and I usually carry my GPS on one shoulder strap and my 2-Way radio on the other. In Texas we have to carry concealed with a CHL, even in a national park so I'm looking for a small belt pouch (molle style) with a velcro closure to carry on my strong right side. I'd much prefer to open carry using a holster but a Class A Misdemeanor will get me a 90 day suspended CHL.

If I can't find something that fits my gun I'll probably have one made by the same guy that custom designed my pack. Maybe there's a market for something that doesn't look like a "man bag".
