Savior Equipment’s Obscura Sling Bag Earns High Marks for EDC Concealed Carry

Listen to Article

Overview and Design Features

The Obscura Sling Bag from Savior Equipment stands out as a purpose-built everyday carry (EDC) option for concealed pistol transport, particularly praised for its sleek, minimalist design and ambidextrous functionality. Reviewer notes its appeal for athleisure wear in hot climates like Arizona summers, where lightweight clothing pairs well with compact bags. Unlike generic packs retrofitted for firearms, the Obscura integrates three configurable retention levels to balance security and quick access, ideal for parents, hikers, or crowded venues. ‘For my concealed carry moms and pops out there, you get it because kids seem to be able to get into anything,’ the host explains, highlighting its family-friendly retention.

Key specs include a main EDC pocket lined with loop material for Velcro accessories, accommodating a full-size Walther PDP with Surefire X300 light and Holosun 507 comp in a Tier 1 MSP holster. Exterior: 900-denier PU-coated ripstop polyester; interior: 210-denier nylon; padded EVA back panel and strap for comfort. Additional pockets feature elastic slots for a pad (8.5×6.5 inches), smaller 3×4-inch pockets, and a 6.5×10.5-inch open compartment with key clip. Four grab handles, cam-lockable zippers, double-stitched stress points, and a 1×1-inch patch area complete the build. Available in gray, black, red, and purple for around $105.

Pros and Cons

  • Pros: Exceptional build quality (‘built like a tank’), ambidextrous wear (front or back, left or right), smooth zippers for fast Level 3 deployment, comfortable padding, low-profile to blend in crowds, fits full-size pistols securely.
  • Cons: Full-size pistols with lights/holsters fill the EDC pocket completely, limiting extra mag storage; extended magazines (e.g., +2 on PDP) snag on zipper during draw; back-worn configuration requires slinging forward for access.

Overall, the host endorses it for daily use: ‘Savior Equipment did an extremely solid job on this Obscura sling bag, and it’s likely something that I’m going to get a lot of use out of because it’s the right size.’ Proven durable from years of Savior range bags, it prioritizes minimalist comfort over bulk.
