Be sure to use zipper way after every use if you want that zipper to last. Both nylon and metal waterproof zippers need wax even if they say they don't. From a scuba drysuit diver, the waterproof zippers work very well when waxed. Also leave it unzipped when not in use. This well make the plastic zippers last much longer.

If you go to a scuba shop, they have it.... But if it's just for a bag then regular parifin wax from the grocery store will be fine. Scuba divers pay a couple thousand dollars for a dry suit, so we want to take extra care because getting the zipper replaced is close to the price of a new Glock

Do something similar, I carried the North American arms 22 mag 5 shot revolver in a concealable little pouch in my swimming trunks that's normally reserved for house keys etc they're common in men's swimming trunks. Then at the end of the day after I was in the ocean, I would go back to the hotel room rinse the pistol under freshwater and then set it on a towel muzzle down to drain. This worked fantastic. When I got home there was a slight bit of surface rust underneath the grips which was easily removed with the little gun oil and steel wool.

Having used a variety of "waterproof" products and enclosures, and seen many fail, I would note the the FTC has long prohibited the use of that word. No reputable manufacturer will use it. The correct legal term is water RESISTANT, to a spcified depth and time. So you'll see ratings like "IP 68 water resistant" meaning it can be submerged, when new and clean, for something like 3 feet for 30 minutes. Even a "waterproof" divers watch is only rated for 1 year after servicing and gasket replacement. So a pouch with a water tight zipper....don't bet your life on it. Flushing a wet gun with fresh water, followed by alcohol (to evaporate the water) and then a thin protective cleaning oil "should" keep it fresh overnight, but I'd still strip and clean it once the watersports were over. And of course, replace the ammo. Even milspec ammo can resent a good bath. Might want to poll some SEALS on their protocol. I suspect a lot of cleaning is involved.

Interesting, that's the first time I've seen a waterproof/dry-bag fanny pack. Have you tested submerging it for longer periods to see how much seepage you get? Also, is it available in any kind of multicolored/patterned print? It looks like the Glock is printing a bit through the front face, and some visual breakup would probably help that. The last time I went kayaking, I ended up throwing my phone, keys, wallet and regular gun-toting fanny pack into a dry-bag and carabinering it to the kayak (which was a good thing, since I capsized at least once on that trip). I figured the need for a super-fast draw would be minimal on the water itself, and I was prioritizing keeping my stuff dry and not at the bottom of the lake. It wouldn't work well at all for, say, a trip to a pool or other swimming excursion.

If I may make a suggestion: place a first aid cross or "RESCUE INHALER - ASTHMA" on the front of the fanny pack. People carrying any sort of pack in the water is unusual, and such a sign may help alleviate suspicion. Great video. I used to work PSD, and a solution we came up with for a principal who frequented the beach was to use an industrial vacuum packer on a hammerless J-frame. To make it shootable without having to remove the plastic, we cut a small slit forward of the trigger and had a gunsmith fill in the cylinder fluting to reduce resistance on the cylinder's rotation. It made carrying on body in board shorts possible. The sights were useless, but the sights on a J-frame at the time didn't do much anyway. We never used it in anger, but we did practice drawing and shooting with the setup. Some of us may even be guilty of taking bets to see who could shoot the best from the hip with the gun underwater. Good times!

If I did, I'd avoid places with a high likelihood if at all possible. But as for the beach or other places I'd go swimming, it comes down to the practicality of concealed carry. Minimal clothing, inability to securely leave a firearm on the beach while in the water, not to mention sand, sunscreen, etc. It's similar to the calculus that comes with going somewhere that guns are prohibited (with physical enforcement).

For outright swimming this is probably the best I’ve seen. I attended an athletic event where I had to submerge myself in mud at one point and had a shocking level of success keeping my gun clean/dry by wearing arrowhead tactical shorts using an Uncle Mike’s soft holster. I also had an undershirt tucked inside and obviously a shirt on the outside for concealment. I found that how snug the cloth holster is after breaking it in paired with the moisture barrier it has were able to keep everything except the grip totally dry and clean. Obviously with extended submersion this would not be sufficient but if you’re not gonna carry a bag it’s an option.

This might sound really gross and off putting, (which when you think about it will work to your advantage) and it will only fool strangers, not friends who already know you, but two words: colostomy bag. No, I don’t have one, I just work in health care and know what it is. But women can and do wear them underneath their swimsuits, and they generally appear nebulous, for lack of a better word, not unlike a medium size gel pack which would be about the same size as a small pistol. The objective is to have a gun with you and concealed in the water without printing like a gun, right? That means you’re going to have to sacrifice speed and use the element of subterfuge. Hence the colostomy bag idea, because any potentially nosy stranger asking questions will immediately shut up when you tell him or her that bulge on your tummy is a colostomy or ileostomy bag. And the odds that said stranger will have a bag themselves are pretty low as well. I’d like to think it’s a pretty good ruse for carrying under a swimsuit. You could probably even experiment with one but the adhesive part would be problematic for obvious reasons.

When I go somewhere “non-permissive” I can safely leave my gun in my vehicle and feel confident it won’t be stolen. I also have an alarm system that makes my truck unable to be started without turning the alarm off (for those who might comment “What if your truck gets stolen?”) The reason I brought this up is the way you talked about this subject, it doesn’t sound like you have a solution for leaving a gun in your vehicle. I could be wrong of course. Great content!

I just had one of these ripped out of my truck. THANKFULLY it was empty and all they did was cost me some money replacing a passenger window.

I do have a safe that I could use in my vehicle, but my lifestyle is such that I quite literally never use it. I used it quite a bit in my first year of carrying, but after a while I learned that I could plan my non-gun errands all in one go and just leave my gun at home. If I'm going somewhere that I know I either can't have a gun or I don't want to have a gun, then my gun stays at home. I realize not everyone can do it that way, but I'm able to, so I do. I don't think I have used my safe inside my vehicle since 2021, it's something I intentionally avoid. For reasons that @jstud99 gives a perfect example of.

@tessabooth @jstud999 I’m mid-50’s and have never had a vehicle burgled. I’ve lived in a large city of 3.5 million people for 4 of those years but most of my life has been living in a city of 100K+. I’m sure auto burglaries have plenty of contributing factors, but I carry daily and always have another gun and spare mag in my center console. I also have a rifle and other kit in another vault in the back of my SUV. This has been my “normal” for the last 7+ years. Never a problem. Just lucky I guess.

@@BitcoinNBullets Yeah, personally for my use case, I'm much more likely to have my gun taken from my vehicle than I am to 1) need to use it and 2) need to use it AND be able to retrieve it from my vehicle without having the opportunity to also drive away. Everyone's use case looks different, but guns are taken from vehicles every single day, so I try to avoid leaving my gun in my car, even if it's in a safe.

Fanny packs are making a comeback. I know that Sig has one for their Rose pistol

They certainly are! I don't like a lot of the messaging surrounding fanny packs as a mode of carry as I see many advertising them as an "easy alternative". IMO off body carry is not an easy alternative as it requires just as much, if not more knowledge and attention than on body carry. In this case, it seems like the submersible fanny pack is my best bet!

Hello from a fellow Oregonian! This place's beauty is rivaled by none, I just wish it was more 2A friendly. Little better than Washington, and much better than California, but who knows for how much longer. Great concept with the bag, how much did all of that end up running, cost wise (minus the Glock)?

I will look into this. EDC is always a question of compromises, IMO. Just getting the correct holster is an ordeal, and can cost hundreds. I'm scheduled to get a durable rucksack, today, and I'm going to experiment with a trigger lock to keep the gun "safe" when the pack is out of my sight. While I like this suggestion (even though I generally steer away from fanny-pack carry) I'm a serious exercise swimmer, and I think a fanny pack would create a lot of drag. Serious question: What have you rehearsed to say when the inevitable happens and you are discovered by a law officer in possession of a sidearm at a restricted location? 5:30

I don't have my gun on me when I'm at a location where being discovered by law enforcement would require an explanation beyond "here is my ccw permit". In other words, if it's truly illegal, I don't have it.
