I really like my kit bag. It is just as fast as a chest holster and the gun is out of sight from others who may be uncomfortable seeing another hiker carrying a gun. I don't live in grizzly country, but black bear are common. I alternate between my G29 and a M&P 45 ACP compact. I have 200 gr DoubleTap hardcast for the 10mm and 255 gr Buffalo Bore hardcast for the 45. I like my chances.
