McGraw QD CCW Waist Pack

In the words of Petruvius, “This fanny pack idea is just the worst.”
Brothers and Sisters of Viktos, I am a guy who wears fanny packs without shame. I have given up on being the guy that 200 years from now when aliens land on earth again, they’ll see in the annals of history, Robert the Texan: the man who brought the Fanny pack back and made it cool while doing it.” That apparently ain’t happening. And I’m ok with that. So let’s get down into the nitty gritty. I have walked out of my house with the McGraw Quick Draw CCW fanny pack in my possession a total of zero times. (0). Zero. While this waist pack has basically the same dimensions as my other two EDC fanny packs, the Vertx SOCP (8/10) and the Eberlestock (9/10), this Fanny pack feels larger, especially top to bottom. However that makes my next review point even more frustrating, because the pouch made for securing your firearm is way too tight. In my dry fire reps I have crammed my hand down only only to grab my other gun instead of my Glock. This is for fighting this is for fun. IYKYK. Thats because the back pouch is just too tight, and even when I find the right tool, it is a pain and a delayed action in retrieving my actual weapon. Also the tightness can impair my ability to secure a proper grip on my gun. (the Glock). These deficiencies - and I will call it exactly like I see it - deficiencies are why this fanny pack has never been used for its only or primary purpose - enabling me to protect those around me and myself if alone. The only good thing about the firearms pouch is that they used thick cotton webbing, similar to PALS webbing you find on chest rigs plate carriers etc, or probably what you’re used to hearing or saying, “Molle” but molle is the system of attachment, the actual webbing on your chest rice, PC, rucks etc is PALS (Pouch Artachment Ladder Syatem) it’s actually a perfect name for what it is, ANYWAY, it’s not PALS, but similar and purposed to allow you to clip your IWB or IAWB holster straight into the thick webbing. It works pretty ok depending on size and clips or attachment means on your holster. This thick webbing is also the only place that I think it makes sense to use vs thinner mil spec webbing that you see on your kit (PALS). I believe it is the same type of material used for the waist strap and one might think that is a great design feature, but it isn’t. It’s another Petruvius moment of “That idea is just the worst.” Sure it seems great for a durable thick, much better than a thin crappy strap that loosens up all by itself (This was the Combat Iron waist strap.) This strap is so thick there is no adjustment on the fly. For example you map want to fasten your fanny pack over outer wear, because who wants to unzip a jacket to get to your zipper so you can get to your weapon? The only way you will loose. This strap is by removing the Fanny pack off your body. I know I tried it numerous times to the point I was concerned I was going to break the buckle - but I never did even though I pulled on that thing like a dentist would pull teeth from a dinosaur. Or if you want to transition from waist to cross body wear, it takes effort to adjust the strap. On my other fanny packs. I can grab the strap that is of a reasonable thickness and slide the triglide up and down to get it just right, because the fanny pack is a piece of our kit and fitment IS important. The last issue I will address is 110% a personal preference. Other may like this, I don’t. The front pocket is just an empty pocket. There is no PALS, no elastic keepers, no mesh pouch to separate pieces of our gear so it’s not just like dropped in a Walmart bag and you get to fumble around inside until you find what you want. I do not believe I have owned a fanny pack that did not come with at least some means to organize the rest of your EDC. That for mw, is another significant failure on the design and execution of the McGraw Quick Draw CCW Fanny or Waist pouch. I think the one positive review must be a guy with tiny T-Rex hands because my hands aren’t huge, they are definitely large, and between missing the weapon compartment and grabbing my junk or not being able to get a proper grip on my weapon are two non-starters for me to rotate this bag into my daily carry. If a system has a defect that compromises our ability to access our weapon, when seconds matter, then brothers and sisters, Mr McGraw is a NO-GO at this station. It dang sure doesn’t deserve the word “Quick” in the product name. I can only shake my head at that. Do I think this system can work for some people? I don’t know. I would assume people with small hands may fare better, but the problem is in the design and how that design was executed. I hope that if Viktos keeps this in their lineup that they will take a hard look at it and the issues that have been identified and release a V2. It’s not a bad looking fanny pack and the material and pattern reminds me of the supremely awesome DNC parkas used back in Desert Storm. So yeah I mean if it were actually green it would be the bomb. This concludes my in-depth review of the McGraw QD CCW Waist Pack. I always give my honest assessment and I never write a review after taking it out of the box and declaring that it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I find those reviews useless, especially if we don’t know that it’s basically an unboxing review. I tried to make this pack work and I gave up because it wasn’t worth it when my other packs didn’t hinder my grip and draw stroke and gave me a means to organize my EDC so I don’t have to “bob for apples” in my fanny pack to find my Altoids or an 800mg Motrin. One last comment, please found it extremely difficult to fit my G19 with a weapon light (Streamlight TLR--1 HL) and my optic RMR (RM01 3.25 MOA dot auto) my holster was and IWB made by Bravo Concealment. My usually carry pistol is a G43X w/ 15 td Shield and a 15+5 spare) Non-MOS/no red dot and had no issues fitment-wise using. A DSG Arms AIWB and my ANR Daisho AIWB worked great with the Discreet Carry Concepts mono block. (Great clips and immovable retention when clipped into my EDC Belt (Blue Alpha or Volant Gearworks 1.5” belts (both are amazing). Anyway thanks for hanging out this long, if anything maybe you learned a the difference between PALS webbing and MOLLE - Modular Lightweight Load carrying Equipment (the nylon straps attached to a pouch, malice clips by Tactical Tailor and a variety of other straps different gear manufacturers develop to interface with PALS!!!) Forgive the typos this was a lot of thumb work. Rock steady and roll ready. RTX out.

McGraw QD CCW Waist Pack
I purchased this item in white to have ready for summer. It looks awesome visually but the placement of the CCW compartment makes it difficult to reach anything placed in there for CCW purposes. The belt is very rigid as well as the shape of the bag so I think VIKTOS intended this to go into belt loops for stability. The main compartment is very spacious. I tend to wear my fanny packs across my chest so it does not really fit well in that position. Overall, I was really excited about this bag because it visually blends in and looks less tacticool but is not very comfortable.

Pros and Cons
Like all Viktos products, this waist pack is well made with very good materials and an appealing style. I like the big quick release clasp and sturdy strap. It is comfortable to wear and the color selections are cool. I have been using the Upscale Hip Pack for concealed carry, especially in the summer when wearing shorts and in my opinion, the Upscale out performs the McGraw. This bags holster mounting options make for a more difficult draw and less convenient access to other items near your pistol. When attaching a Kydex holster to the loops in the rear compartment, the holster seems to be positioned too high, making the zipper tight and more difficult to operate. The wall separating the compartments is rigid, while the rear wall, where Hookie accessories attach, is very thin. I will most likely use the McGraw when I don’t need a waist pack for concealed carry.
