Concealed carry solution

I've been looking for a good concealed carry solution for a long time and it finally fulfills all requirements. Yes, I can carry a Ruger .380 Auto in my pocket without minting too much, but this weapon may not do the trick if things are going too fast. So my requirements for a viable concealed carry solution are that the case fits my Glock 23 .40S&W with a standard magazine; be small enough not to be too "obvious"; available in a variety of colors other than tactical black; can be worn comfortably under a vest or jacket; sit comfortably on my chest; have a right-handed gun case (I'm right-handed); carry a spare magazine; have one or more extra pockets for wallet, keys, business cards, cash, etc. This pocket is for you! Although made by Vanlison, Kawei Kngh also stands (Kawei also makes a similar bag). I love that I can carry it on my chest (yes, the weight of the gun and magazine will cause the pouch to slip under your arm over time, so you'll have to move it carefully, especially when you're walking, but not a big deal), but I can also quickly slide the bag under my arm (e.g. in a vest or jacket) so that only the chest strap is visible from the front. I added a small zipper extender to the zipper on the large bag for easy grabbing and quick opening to access my Glock. It has a total of six outer pockets and the large compartment has a zipped pocket and an open pocket on the inside. But I'm not suggesting you put anything other than your gun in a big bag. The hole in the large pocket is 8 inches long, so it's just enough for easy drawing of the gun. My Glock is 7" long, 5" tall with a standard magazine and the longest size (barrel to rear/magazine) is 8.5". I bought a green bag. If it was light gray I would buy it too. I was thinking of using a small bag instead, but they are all too big and you don't want the bag with the guns inside hanging on your back anyway. The idea is that YOU have easy access to the gun, NOT the person behind you! I gave this bag 5 stars because I felt it served my purpose, looked quality and was good value.
