You can toss it in the back seat easily enough and it's nowhere near as big as a flight bag. Something similar to this.
By the way, here's my MTAC. Sounds like you and I are about the same build. If you're ever around the north side of Indianapolis, you're more than welcome to try it out if you like. I carry an XD9SC which is almost identical in size to a G26. |
Thought about that too but I want something I can strap onto my body so I can retain it better. Plus I don't want to be that guy who sat down his "dayplanner" and somebody pick it up to steal or even just nosey people that peek inside.
Along the lines of the dayplanner thing, I've considered the Safepacker, which looks like a cross between a large PDA holster/dayplanner strapped to your belt. It mounts to seat belts easily. One nice plus is you can carry an extra mag with it:

I have a couple of eBay special Maxepdition knockoff of the Thermite and Fatboy to experiment some with bag carry. The thing I like about the Maxpedition Thermite is that it looks less tacticool murse than their Fatboy and larger, my ego might be strong enough to use them as a tacticool diaper bag/carryall on a trip or outing but I just can't bring myself to do it for EDC (and I've tried). The Thermite more camera/small flight stuff bag and can be around waist (but somehow rates less uncool than fanny bags this way) or my prefered over the shoulder. It would also allow me to carry a bunch mags including my G17 mags, a flashlight, plus other small stuff like multitool and sunglasses. I think if I go with bag carry the Thermite might be the right mix of not too small, not too big, not too fanny pack, not too mall ninja MOLLE, not too murse for me.
Any thoughts on pocket holster in a cargo pocket?
MTAC is high on my list now for my IWB choice. I know holsters really are the best method and I'm sure I'll use whenever possible but unfortunately I'm still having problems with it as my primary means of carry.
