Like Cal 44, I am a guy. I always carry in a Bianchi fanny pack with secret holster ( no longer made, why I don't know ). It is the best way for an off duty LEO to carry everything we need: .45 pistol, 5 extra loaded magazines, handcuffs, badge, 2 flashlights, notepad and pens. It is made of strong nylon. It used to sell for between $ 40 - $ 50. worth every penny. I have really babied mine. I would buy two more for spares in case I live that love that long.
