I wish Maxpedition made hook-and-loop dividers for these bags
They could be made out of 1000D nylon with velcro tabs on each end that would attach to the sides of the bag. That way you could move them around to fit whatever you wanted to put in there. Say a water or Nalgene bottle behind one divider on one end of the bag. And maybe a trauma kit or M4 mags on the other end (again, behind a divider.) The space between the two ends could be used for whatever else that you wanted.
Nicely done Sootch. The Active Shooters Bag seems a bit more robust with a slightly stiffer form maximizing the flexibility of the hook and loop panel accessories. I like the flexibility the system allows and the ability to easily change the set up depending on the needs at hand. Looking forward to the Active Shooter Bag review!
You're absolutely right about the cheap stuff! I bought a holster with a hook and loop strap at a gun show for $4 and when I stepped in a hole and fell out in the field, my 22A went flying out.
When the inventor of "hook and loop" asked my grandfather and a bunch of his investor friends to invest in launching Velcro® they all laughed at him. It really seemed stupid at the time. Now he regrets it.
They call it "hook & loop" because Velcro® is a trademark. If they aren't using Velcro® brand fasteners, they can get sued for using the name (false use of trademark [or something like that]). Nice video!
I was at a friend's house and he had strips of this 3M Dual Lock. It's like a velcro but much stronger. With approx 2" x 3/4" strips stuck together, it took quite a bit of effort to pull them apart. Something like a 4x4" square would probably even be too much.
Of course you would have to sew it in yourself, but an option if you want something stronger than velcro.
Sootch00. I just checked out the Max expedition site and was wondering if the Khaki or tan bag was the Active shooters bag. I couldn't find the diplomats bag from LA Police Gear. This is the SKU #: MaxP-9834 at LA Police gear. It's still made by Max Expedition. What is the sku number on the black bag that you have. it's about the right size for what I need.
Yeah, the Maxpedition holster is the one that works best for me too. Don't need a top strap, because, as you inferred, the top of the bag or compartment (when it's zipped up) acts like a stopper that keeps the gun in place. It also doubles as a flashlight holder, if nosy-bodies ask what it's for when you're not packing (cross-border, etc). Thanks sootch, keep up the quality vids.
PS: I didn't quite catch what you said after unloading that semi-auto...lol!
he must be getting payed by maxpedition,evrey video he makes now is either about maxpidetion gear or maxpedition is involved in some way.he should be getting payed for it.
You guys please quit giving woman's purse designers ideas. The next thing you know all women will have molle on their purse and it will no longer be cool :).
Couple of comments: you are putting a gun with possibly exposed lead in your main compartment. Those cheap holsters with elastic do not protect the trigger very well; I would never put a chambered glock in one. any loose item (like a pen) could set it off. I have a fanny pack that has a special compartment (separate from main cargo) that has velcro and a holster with thick rubber/vynal holding the gun. Anyway, this was a nice vid with good info, but... that thing does look like a purse ;)
Another great video sootch00, They also make adhesive backed hook and loop strips and dots or squares, So you can put it on things that dont come with it. i.e. pens, flashlight and i guess just about anything. It would keep a bag from becoming a heap of stuff. Thanks again Don.
@itachi1303 Velcro is a brand name. Hook is the sharp side & loop is the soft side of whoever is manufacturing the product. It's kinda like asking for a kleenex. In most cases you are actually asking for a tissue, but unintentionally ask by the popular nationally renowned manufacturer's name when you really don't care who makes it as long as you can blow your nose with it.
Yeap .... we all need some hook and loop on all our shirt backs. So Our government can play here's your sign with us! That about the only consumer help or truth we'll ever get from them. :-(
TACTICAL STUFF LIKE HOOK AND LOOP, IS AMAZING. FOR SO MANY YEARS I USE TO STITCH EVERYTHING MY SELF, BAGS WERE NOT ERGONOMIC. THESE DAYS VERSIBILITY IS EVERYWHERE, I MEAN FOR GENERAL PUBLIC, NO NEED TO SHOP AT SURPLUS FOR USED GEAR. IT'S GETTIN BETTER AND BETTER! THANKS FOR SHARING SOOTCH! NICE VID!

@BLAYDZ99 Because under a magnifying glass, if you look at it, the rough side of Velcro are many small hooks, and the soft side is many small loops.
