I have used this pack and nothing seems to move around. There is little room for phone, keys, money etc. It sticks out too far from your body for me. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I haven't been able to find one I like either. Good Luck.

I've experienced only one problem with it and it's the band itself. I've noticed that after a while the band will began to stretch and the gun will slip out a bit. But on the plus side the pouch keeps the gun in place so it doesn't slip out of the band all the way. Hope this helps.

I use the XL W S&W; SD9. The Shield is much smaller. There is a expandable strap the will hold the firearm though. I slide my weapon muzzle through the expandable strap and then the rest into the pack as shown

There is an elastic band that actually holds the weapon in the main compartment of the pack. The barrel can face in either direction due to the voids in either side of the top, front compartment. I would think that this would work well for jogging. I cary a Glock 27 and street ride and dirt bike my motorcycles while wearing this pack. I would say that dirt biking results in more movement than jogging and I have not had an issue when carrying a heavier weapon. I hope this helps!

I think it would work well while riding a bicycle. I love this item! It does NOT move! Now I haven't ridden a bike with it on but I'm guessing it still won't budge. My gun is very secure. There's plenty of room for a mag or two also! Hope this helps!

i just finished trying the set up you suggested (minus the vest) and found that when the packs are strapped to my sides at waist height the 3 inch bulge on either side was noticeable I add a sweat shirt and came to the conclusion that the only way the packs would remained concealed is if you like extremely baggy clothing. or wear a vest like they do in the military and police forces in which case the vest plus the packs would make you look very round (still need a not so baggy sweat shirt for this to work tho).

I carry mine on a S&W; M&P40c;, in an IWB holster. I generally can "touch" it on when drawing my weapon. Be sure to set it as far BACK on you weapon as the rail allows, and you can reach it with your trigger or middle finger to turn it on when drawing. I have had NO problems with it turning itself on accidentally, even when re-holstering the weapon.

I use this bag for my Smith and Wesson M&P; 9 mm shield which is a pretty small pistol. in the bag I carry my holster, the pistol, about 300 rounds of ammunition, my ear protection, eye protection and 6 magazine clips. it is perfect! I also store about a thousand rounds of ammunition in the ammo bag that comes with it which I keep at home.

This fits pretty snug with my shield. I would look compair the width of the slide. My guess is that the Springfield is a bit wider. If that is he case I don't think it would fit at the very least you might find and awkward resistance during draw. You also my experince premature holster wear.

There is a kit for the Shield and for the M&P; Compact. Ihave both and really like them.

The M&P; Shield barely fit. It is low quality and I was concerned on it doing damage to my gun so I threw it away. I would personally spend a little more and get something decent.

My shield is similar in size. It does sit a little to deep in the pocket for a rapid deployment. I sewed mine to make the pocket more shallow. No complaints.

I purchased the light for the M&P; 40 cal compact and it fit nicely, but I am not sure about the shield. FYI - I liked the cost/size/brightness/quick on feature, however, it is not durable enough to leave on during target practice. After using the gun once at the range with only maybe 100-200 rounds the light became intermittent.

The m&p and the m&p compact are the same frame and will work with this. The shield is a narrower frame, so I don't believe it will work. Not sure if fobus has one for the shield, but that information is listed on their website.

Hi there,I have the Big Dots on my M&P; Shield and carry in a Bravo Concealment ACER-DG2 IWB Kydex holster. The sights are awesome. They are absolutely perfect for defensive sights. You can really pick up that front sight in no time. No issues with the sights fitting into the holster. They certainly do not protrude like supressor sights do. I wouldn't worry about them not fitting into a standard holster. The dot is big, but the actual front sight overall is a pretty standard size.

Hey Heith hope I can help. To what degree of vigorous activity? I feel confident enough to carry with this holster while playing at the park with my kids and I would swear they are part monkey. I carry while at my house doing chores ( carpentry, mowing the lawn and fields, honey due list etc etc..). I carry it hiking on somewhat rugged terrain, kayaking and pretty much every where in between. I always have my xds and Foxx holster with me and have never, ever had it fall out or even worried about it falling out. Admittingly I've never ran or anything like that with it, so to that degree I cannot comment but I think it's safe to say that you would be hard pressed within reason to have this gun become unholstered unintentionally. FYI I clip to my belt and wear my belt resonably snug as I don't like to sag and I think between the great job Foxx did molding to the gun and with the belt it provides a perfect amount of retention while still being able to draw the weapon quickly and accuretly. I've read that some have had problems with the front site hanging up on the holster but that is something that I have never experienced. My xds is box stock with stock sites and no mods and the cant is the only adjustment I've made to the holster. Really especially for the price you can't go wrong and I think you will be pleased with it. Side note, it get better with time and after break in. Good luck. Support our SECOND AMENDMENT.

I'm not tall and thin like most of the reviews for this product. I'm 5'11 and 255. Would this work for me? Man boobs, big gut and all? I want to carry my smallest gun (Springfield XDs) when I'm in the office and I've been looking for something like this to wear under a tucked in dress shirt and tie with no jacket.

I don't have personal experience with the Abri-Form M4's to know for sure, but I was able to wear this pad inside a normal sized pair of Ladies' full brief underwear. That said, you would be putting a pad inside another padded diaper which might be a lot of padding between the legs. I have a medium-sized frame and build and am not overweight. I may have a spare pad that I would mail to you for the price of postage - definitely less than $3. If you are interested, post again. I do sell on ebay and could post a listing for this if I still have one from the open package, which I think I do. Fortunately, I no longer need the product.

My son plays catcher for his travel baseball team. And he wears the shield under his catchers gear and has no problem throwing the ball or throwing someone out at second. Range of movement is not restricted even under his catchers chest protector. It fits so well he wears it hours after the game, and I have seen him shot basket ball with it on too. So it shouldn't be a problem.

I tried and it is really awkward and isn't tactical or practical on a belt. My advice is to get a molle vest or plate carrier for this. I used it on one of my old plate carriers and it is effing sweet. Practical and tactical. Its not big and bulky and is easy to use. Durable too. Hope this helps
