I have carried while backpacking by using the top pouch of my pack (Osprey) to hold my G20 in a kydex holster. I am looking for a concealed approach that can move from hipbelt to pants belt. I don't mind open carry, but I frequently hike in areas that allow CC but not OC. When I OC I typically use a Serpa for the retention capabilities in rough terrain.

If you use the Safepacker (or anything else that does what I want to do) how do you like it? Is it comfortable? I have a CC fanny pack I sometimes use, especially when going on short day hikes, but it is another belt I don't really need when carrying a pack. I have looked at the Hill People kit and similar, but I don't think I would like a chest pack. I have also considered modifying a cheap belt pouch to hold the G20 with Serpa. The Safepacker is kind of spendy but worth it if it does what I want. All input is appreciated.
