VIKTOS Upscale3 Tactical Slingbag | Durable Water-Resistant Bag with Ambidextrous Shoulder Strap for Concealed Carry & EDC, Black

They have improved this sling to the point that I had to re-buy it! I Really love the bag now and it is my new go-to bag for day to day. I will mention my other go-to bag at the end. Really I would say this is one of the best lighter use EDC bags I have come across. Pro: 1: The strap is now padded and comfortable 2: They removed the Molle webbing on the backside which makes it more discrete, was in a place I would never use it on the old one. 3: Useful storage compartments. My use for this one is light carry. 4: It will hang nicely off one shoulder, my other go-to sling has a padded strap that does not allow this so it is all on or not at all. This one you can cross body or hang off one shoulder. Con: 1: The pocket for "glasses" is not useful for glasses and the zipper is still a pain to close all the way because of the shape of the pocket, still useful but not for glasses. Think Keys, flashlight, etc 2: Wish it did not have the "Viktos black arms company" text on the side, totally gives away the use of this bag but with the midwatch colorway you can't really see it at all. Another bag to consider would be the 5.11 LV8 Sling bag. That is my other go-to bag. It is a little larger than the Upscale 3 and really more comfortable for hours of use. My use case for the Upscale 3 is literally day to day use. The LV8 is now just used when I will be wearing it for hours at a time. I had a v2 bag and liked the layout of the bag but the sling itself would cut into my neck. I didn't care for the Molle webbing on the outside either because it was in a place I would never use it and it kinda gives the bag away as a "tactical bag". Image shows the 5.11 LV8 in black and the Upscale3 Midwatch color. These two bags make for a good range of use. Beyond these two bags, I would just go with a backpack.

This sling bag is absolutely perfect for EDC. It'll fit a G19/P320C perfect (Possibly G17 too but that may be pushing it with a full size blaster) It fits everything great and is the perfect size to carry only what is needed. I tend to add more junk to my slings if they've got the space. This sling forces me to carry only what is absolutely necessary, but allows for a few additional small important item's. It's compact and feels very durable. There's a cheap holster included but it actually does the job just fine. This may be the best EDC sling bag on the market for the money.

Great Bag from Viktos. It’s a little small, but it works well to carry a pistol as long as it’s not really big, and also carry additional things like a wallet, keys, multi-tool, etc. for only $85, it’s a no brainer.

Great daily driver backpack, works as advertised, excellent build quality and feels like it'll last a good while. Getting it from your back to your front really quickly is incredibly easy with either hand and from either direction. Excellent for it's intended purpose. Zippers seem great. I wouldn't mind if the strap got a little shorter than it does, but it sits comfortably even all the way shortened. Excellent value for the money.

My husband really likes this bag for his CCW & dad bag. The material is a nice thickness and feels top quality. He is able to carry along with a diaper, small pack of wipes, snacks, wallet and phone all in this bag. He is able to carry & play with our son without having to worry about accessibility. There was a bit of a learning curve on how to wear the bag due to how the small front pocket is on the bag. It technically is ambidextrous for the CCW compartment but if you want to utilize the small front pocket, there really is only one way to wear it - otherwise the pocket is upside down and your contents could fall out. Overall, it was a great purchase. He is really happy with the bag and it was money well spent.

Love this bag carry it all the time. It’s tight but it fits my full size shadow systems xr920 with thread on comp just fine. I have that and 2 mags in the pocket with it. It isn’t truly ambidextrous, the front zipper pocket ends up on the bottom if you sling it on the left side. It would be better if that compartment was accessible like the back one it.

Nice over the shoulder bag to carry my stuff throughout the day. Holds my firearm with no problem.(p365 with hollow sun red dot). As well as the outer compartment holds my wallet, glasses and cell phone very well. Seems to be made very well and the zippers feel nice in the hand, sturdy. I’d buy again in a second.

The bag is of decent quality. The velcro holster it comes with will not accommodate a weapon light. I have a Glock 19 with a weapon light and RMR, and the bag is too small to secure my pistol in any fashion that would give me a consistent draw. Would probably be alright if you have no attachments on your weapon.
