What is the Shield Arms Junk Sack?
The Junk Sack is an advanced concealed carry fanny pack that combines the comfort and convenience of off-body carry with rapid magnetic access to your firearm. Unlike traditional fanny packs that require slow zipper manipulation, the Junk Sack uses rare earth magnets and hook-and-loop retention for a quick, silent draw while maintaining secure firearm retention during everyday activities.
Complete kit includes:
- Junk Sack with concealed carry compartment
- Waist strap (fits up to 60" waist)
- Elastic and webbing positioning straps
- Single magazine holder
- Adhesive-backed hook velcro for holster attachment
Pairs well with: Bang Bag | Alpine Bag
Redefining Concealed Carry Comfort and Accessibility
The Shield Arms Junk Sack represents the next evolution in off-body concealed carry, addressing the fundamental challenge that has plagued fanny pack carry for decades: speed of access. While traditional concealed carry fanny packs offer superior comfort and concealment compared to inside-the-waistband carry, they've historically suffered from slow, fumbling access that involves finding and unzipping a compartment under stress. The Junk Sack eliminates this critical weakness with an innovative magnetic retention system that allows you to access your firearm in one fluid motion while maintaining rock-solid retention during normal activity.
Constructed from water-resistant fabric and featuring a dedicated concealed carry compartment measuring 8" x 6" with 72 cubic inches of volume, the Junk Sack accommodates pistols up to Glock 19 size when paired with a low-profile trigger guard holster. The concealment compartment includes a 5" x 6.5" loop panel for attaching holsters and accessories, plus two grommet holes for securing trigger guard-style holsters. The unique combination of rare earth magnets and hook-and-loop fasteners creates a secure closure that opens instantly with intentional force but stays closed during running, bending, and everyday movement. This system delivers nearly the same draw speed as traditional on-body carry while maintaining the comfort advantages that make fanny pack carry appealing.
Beyond its primary concealed carry function, the Junk Sack serves as a capable everyday carry bag with practical features for real-world use. The front pouch utilizes stretch-woven material measuring 8" x 5.5" to accommodate irregularly shaped items like keys, phones, and wallets. Wing panels feature a 1.25" MOLLE loop-through system for attaching carabiners or additional gear, while the included elastic magazine holder ensures you have a reload accessible. Whether you're running errands, hiking, traveling, or simply want a comfortable carry option that works with any outfit, the Junk Sack provides a versatile solution that doesn't compromise on accessibility or security.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size pistol fits in the Junk Sack?
The Junk Sack accommodates pistols up to Glock 19 size when using a low-profile trigger guard holster. This includes most compact and subcompact handguns such as Glock 43X, Glock 48, SIG P365, Springfield Hellcat, Smith & Wesson Shield, and similar-sized firearms. For proper fit and safety, always use an appropriate holster that covers the trigger guard.
Do I need to purchase a separate holster?
Shield Arms strongly recommends using a proper holster with the Junk Sack, especially when carrying with a round in the chamber. The concealment compartment includes a 5" x 6.5" loop panel and adhesive-backed hook velcro (included) that works with most trigger guard holsters and traditional holster designs. You can also use the two grommet holes to tie off trigger guard-style holsters for additional security.
How fast can I access my firearm compared to a regular fanny pack?
The Junk Sack's magnetic retention system provides significantly faster access than traditional zipper-based fanny packs. The magnets and hook-and-loop combination allows you to open the concealment compartment with one quick motion, similar to drawing from an on-body holster. There's no fumbling with zippers or flaps under stress, making the Junk Sack one of the fastest-accessing off-body carry solutions available.
Will the magnetic closure open accidentally during physical activity?
No. The Junk Sack uses a carefully engineered combination of rare earth magnets and hook-and-loop fasteners that provides secure retention during running, bending, sitting, and normal daily activities. The system requires intentional force to open but releases quickly when you need to access your firearm. Thousands of users have tested the Junk Sack in active scenarios without accidental openings.
Can I wear the Junk Sack in different positions?
Yes. The adjustable waist strap (fits up to 60") allows you to wear the Junk Sack in front (traditional fanny pack position), on your side (appendix or 3-4 o'clock), or in the back. The included positioning straps help secure the bag and prevent shifting during movement. Most users prefer front or side carry for fastest access to the concealment compartment.
Is the Junk Sack water-resistant?
Yes. The Junk Sack is constructed from water-resistant fabric that protects your firearm and contents from light rain, splashes, and moisture. While not fully waterproof for submersion, the material provides excellent protection during everyday outdoor activities and inclement weather.
What accessories are included with the Junk Sack?
The Junk Sack comes as a complete kit including: the main bag, adjustable waist strap (up to 60"), elastic and webbing positioning straps for stability, a single magazine holder, and 4" x 3" adhesive-backed hook velcro for attaching your holster to the internal loop panel. Everything you need to get started is included except the holster itself.
Can I attach additional pouches or accessories to the Junk Sack?
Yes. The wing panels feature a 1.25" MOLLE loop-through system that allows you to attach carabiners, key holders, or other MOLLE-compatible accessories. This adds versatility for carrying additional gear while maintaining a low profile.
Does Shield Arms offer other bag options?
Yes. Shield Arms manufactures several other high-quality bags for different carry needs. The Bang Bag offers a different configuration for concealed carry, while the Alpine Bag provides expanded capacity for range days or outdoor activities. All Shield Arms bags are made in USA with lifetime warranties.
Is the Junk Sack legal for concealed carry in my state?
Off-body carry laws vary by state and jurisdiction. Some states have specific regulations regarding purse carry, fanny pack carry, or off-body concealed carry methods. It's your responsibility to understand and comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding concealed carry in your area. Shield Arms recommends consulting with a qualified attorney or your local law enforcement agency for legal guidance.

Setup and Configuration
Setting up your Junk Sack for concealed carry is straightforward but requires attention to proper holster placement and retention. The concealment compartment features a large loop panel where you'll attach your holster using the included adhesive-backed hook velcro. Position your holster so the firearm draws naturally when you open the magnetic flap. The included positioning straps help stabilize the bag and prevent shifting during movement, which is critical for consistent draws.
