REVIEW: 5.11 Tactical Select Carry Sling Pack

The most beautiful surprises come unexpectedly. It's like opening a package at Christmas, not knowing what's inside, but it hits the mark. Well, this could also hit the mark. But this surprise could be negative for the other person, but life-saving for the carrier. A Schmeisser in PDW format comes here from the Select Carry Sling Pack by 5.11 Tactical. It was specifically made for concealed carry of a submachine gun.

This backpack is a classic sling pack. It has a triangular shape, a strap over the shoulder that comes back to the opposite side of the hip. In terms of volume, this item has 15 liters and can also be used in a civil manner. The exterior dimensions are 53 x 43 x 13 cm. By the way, towards the back it is made of mesh so that the carrier does not sweat.

As a bonus, the pack comes with the 5.11 Select Carry Pistol Pouch included. It's almost like Christmas, because there's even more possible with it.

Perfectly fitting into the compartment is a handgun that is discreetly available in front of the chest at all times.

You should, of course, not do this if you happen to be in a bank.

Also included is a second magazine. You can never have enough ammunition because you never know how long the engagement will last.

This reaching back for the grab means escalation because we know: this is not where the sandwich is packed.

Lying in front of the chest, the Sling Pack looks much larger than on the back. We see an exterior compartment and two zippers that run apart and close the main compartment. By the way, there is an extra compartment on top, equipped with velcro so that additional items can be attached here (additional organization with velcro elements).

The magic of concealed carry is not just having everything with you, but also quick access. There is a tab that, when pulled, opens the compartment in one pull.

And inside are the better arguments. Normally, the pack fits a submachine gun in the dimension of an MP5. Here, it is a Schmeisser configured as a PDW.

Nothing falls out, as the weapon is secured in the backpack with a strap.

Bam! And with the shoulder stock extended, you're ready to aim. Here we also see MOLLE stripes, the interior can be additionally configured, for example with magazine pockets in case the discussion lasts longer.

Carried hands-free: the weapon is securely hung. The Sling Pack wraps around the body and does not interfere at all.

CONCLUSION: A Sling Pack for emergencies. Of course, it can also be used as a practical civilian backpack. But it doesn't have to. Those who use it as a weapon container should ensure that they meet the relevant legal requirements, then you are on the safe side with the Select Carry Sling Pack.

You can get the 5.11 Tactical Select Carry Sling Pack at 5.11 Tactical retailers for 149.95 euros. It comes in Black - and also in Gray or Blue. In Germany, you can find it at ASMC or RECON COMPANY, for example, in Austria at BLACK SHADOW.
