The point of concealed carry (CCW) is discretion and a commitment to gun safety, and VIKTOS understands that. As armed citizens, we seek to counteract danger ... so VIKTOS' latest solution for off-body CCW is dubbed the Counteract CCW Slingbag. The company promises that it's not just a bag; it's a tactical advantage. Part of the reason why is simply the way in which one wears a sling bag, across the chest, which is an outstanding position for a swift draw. The rest of the reason why is pure VIKTOS.

Crafted around a slide-out hook & loop tray, this slingbag means that you can easily customize your everyday carry rig (or "loadout") to your preference with multiple holster options. Its durable coated-ripstop chassis ensures weather and stain resistance, complemented by magnetic break-away flaps that facilitate swift, clean draws in critical situations.

Internally, the Counteract features hook & loop panels for modular attachments, including the versatile Hookie holster and spare magazine carrier. Side slash pockets provide rapid access to everyday carry items, while a dedicated rear pocket can even accommodate IIIA soft armor for enhanced personal protection, should you wish. This series is not just designed; it's rigorously tested by VIKTOS’ team of CCW firearms trainers, ensuring reliability in any scenario.

Built with input from real-world users—law enforcement officers, concealed carriers, and U.S. veterans—the Counteract Slingbag delivers mission-ready performance with street-smart design. From urban commutes to high-threat environments, its padded shoulder strap with quick-release buckle ensures fast transitions, while the discreet, low-profile aesthetic blends seamlessly into civilian life. It's the spiritual successor to your favorite 90s action hero's go-bag—only smarter, tougher, and built for today's battles. It's affordable, too, with an MSRP of $85. VIKTOS.com.
