Has anyone used this?

I'm not expecting much for the price, but as I don't look like much of the tennis player, might be a nice option for less-than-obvious-to-sheeple gun transportation.

Short Barrel Shepherd did reviews of several sling bags for use as EDC bags for SBRs. This one he listed as being large (too large for his frame).

Colt has really diluted their brand by letting it be used on so much junk. Now I only think of gas station knives and cheap pistol cases when their name comes up.
Making the bad man go away since 1982.

This missed an easily marketable opportunity here. If they had just put another clip at the top (over the pad) they could have marketed it as being able to convert to a concealed carry fanny pack like 5.11 also makes (I have one for mountain biking and motorcycling... it is pretty great).

You can get the real 5.11 sling bag on Amazon in red for $50, the grey is still $125. Big savings if color's not a priority.

Don't own one but I've handled one in the store. I have an old Eddie Bauer laptop sling bag for work and looked at the 5.11 bag as it's pretty close. The 5.11 is more compact and doesn't have multiple compartments.

Still, $22 bucks doesn't buy much these days. I'd take a chance on the Colt bag if the design is close.
