Policy

The Policy is an everyday carry backpack bag insert to help keep your PDW, folding brace AR, or other small backpack carryable weapon. The Policy was designed to separate your gun from the rest of the contents of your backpack but still allow you to quickly and easily get to it if you need to.

Since your backpack weapon is your backup plan, this backpack PDW insert is rightfully named The Policy, as in your insurance policy if a situation is bad enough and it is the ultimate in PDW concealed carry.

Expectations exceeded

Far too often do I buy something 2A related that's made in the US and receive something that feels like it came from Temu. Not the case with the Policy. I bought it and a Stribog mag holder for my SP9A3S and it's great. The material feels premium, the stitching appears to be strong, and the elastic straps in the mag holder provide just enough tension that I know everything is secure without them being a pain to remove. It fit perfectly in the SwissGear 1900 that I take with me everywhere.

This would be a 5 star review. The policy is absolutely perfect! My order was shipped promptly, getting everything ( rifle mag holder, hush holder, hand gun holder) EXCEPT I never received my Glock mag holder that I ordered. This is truly the best option for a greyman.

Response from Lynx Defense

Glad you are liking the Policy. Sorry about the fulfillment issue, but glad we could get you squared away and get that Glock Mag holder out.

Must have for Kuna

This liner case fits the Springfield Armory Kuna very well. With a magazine inserted and an optic like the Aimpoint Duty RDS, the mag extends very slightly outside of the bag, but has no effect on drawing the Kuna from the case. With a lower profile optic or no optic the entire gun fits inside the sides easily. Quality of materials and construction is evident. Highly recommended, no excuse to leave your PDW at home now with the Policy and a low profile backpack.

The Policy 2.0 from Lynx Defense is exactly what I was looking for in an updated design. My SCAR 15P fits perfectly inside when the stock is folded, and the case itself fits seamlessly into my Vertx Gamut 2.0 backpack—almost like it was made for it. One of the key improvements is the added padding on the bottom and sides, which gives me peace of mind when carrying my rifle. Before picking up the Policy, I was always concerned about the lack of protection when my rifle was just sitting in my backpack.

The Velcro loop material on the front is a great touch, letting you customize your setup with ease. I’m using Vertx Tactigami Velcro MOLLE panels to secure my mag pouch and suppressor pouch, and it works perfectly. When I don’t need to carry the rifle, I can just pull out the Policy, and all my accessories stay right where I want them—organized and ready to go.

Use this sleeve in a Crye Precision 1500 to protect my PCC. The size and cushioning are ideal for my needs.

The Great: I picked up the Modular Policy as a convenient way to stow and travel with my MPX K with an Omega 9K (Plan B Mount) suppressor. It fits in the sleeve with no overhang using a 20 round magazine. The 35 round mag is a little too big though. The sleeve itself almost seems designed to go into my GoRuck G1 (26 ltrs). Think this would be a little too big for the 21 liter GoRuck. Took a weekend trip with the policy and was able to fit it, clothes, electronics and toiletries in the bag.

I love the Modular back panel on range days I can easily take two velcro pistol holsters and mag holder (Lynx as well) from my safe wall and stick them to the back. Pretty much all my 9mm kit in one organized package.

Nitpicks: My backpack has a padded bottom but would be nice to have a neoprene strip on the bottom of the sleeve for bags without padding. The front pocket is a bit long. My 35 round mags without a baseplate are completely covered but the ones with base plates stick out 1/2 inch. Maybe lower the pocket by an inch or two so magazines stick out a little for easier access.

Final Thoughts: To my knowledge this is the only thing like it on the market and witha couple of tweaks out would make it perfect. If you have a PDW/PCC/Folding SBR and want to travel with it get it. Would also say even just for range transport this rocks too.

Love the Policy and use it regularly. It is a little small for my 9" 300 Blackout folded, so would love to see an XL version just a few inches longer. Also, it would be nice if the front pocket was divided into two so that my silencer didn't bang up against a loaded mag. Thanks again, great product.

Ordering was easy. Customer Service is outstanding. Shipping was fast. Discretely and securely holds my B&T APC10 Pro and a 30 round magazine, in an Oakley day pack. Excellent product.

Haven't used it much as I just got it, but it appears well built and my APC10 fits in it perfectly. Turns. a regular Jansport backpack into a covert PDW case. Does appear that it could use some more structure and padding along the bottom edge, however.

Exactly what I need to carry my ruger lc charger in 5.7x28 with a couple of spare mags, suppressor and some tools. Fits perfectly in my 5.11 AMP 10 and I carry it all the time. They kept it simple which is much appreciated and I highly recommend this to anyone carrying a Pdw sized firearm in a backpack.

This item was exactly what I was looking for, my Sig MPX fits perfectly in it and isn’t loose flopping around in my backpack anymore. Extremely well made and padded nicely. My order went out either next day or same day and shipping was quick. Very impressed!

Using it with my B&T APC9. Very well built. Wish there was more padding at bottom where the muzzle rests. The outside pockets should be a little better at accommodating a suppressor and two 30-round mags. They fit, but not perfectly. Very satisfied though.

I am running the policy in a Kifaru Urban Ruck 2.0 and absolutely love it. I currently have an APC9k in their and fits very nicely, before I had an MP5 clone and that too fit very well. The only thing I would change would be to add some padding towards the bottom where the muzzle sits but not a huge issue, I would also add a few outside pockets for say a suppressor and a few odds and ends.
Overall for the price and what it does I am extremely satisfied and will be buying more for other packs in the future.

Very well built, holds the stribog well. My only complaint, I asked via email if it was padded on the bottom and I was told it was. Not sure if it was miscommunication or not, but the only padding is the back piece. The area where the muzzle sets is not padded.

I run a Stribog in The Policy and have been nothing but IMPRESSED. This item is a must have for your PCC or PDW style firearm. You literally could throw this thing in a Jansport and it would work as advertised.

The Policy takes the “Grey Man” tactic up a notch.

I've been running the policy in just your average "tactical" generic bag, along with a few more discreet bags. It fits in each one, and snugly holds my Grand Power Stribog, with space for a spare mag or two along with it.
I often times hit the range with WAY too many firearms, and even the biggest bags can't carry them sometimes. The policy doubles for me giving me extra storage space for a few extra pistols to head to the range in a bag that I may be carrying extra mags or something in, away from the mags and anything else that could bang up my guns.
In all, the idea of an expanded duty insert for backpacks is genius, and The Policy is excellent at it's intended task of PDW storage, as well as it's expanded capacity as just some extra, safe storage space.

I've been running my honey badger in a pre-production policy with my Honey Badger Pistol and 10.5 AR15 with law folder.

Both of these guns are run with 20 round magazines when using these guns.

The main backpack is an older Mystery Ranch bag that's similar to the Coulee 25.

It works well to keep the gun separated from the other items in the pack.

I've carried the 10.5 in this pack for years before the policy was even a thought. It worked but it didn't work well. It took me 1-2 minutes to get the gun out as I had to unpack the entire bag to get to the gun.

This option wasn't quick access by any means.

With the policy, I just have to unzip the bag and do minimal adjusting to get the gun out in well under 10 seconds. This is with a mostly stuffed pack.

How you pack your bag still plays a major role in how long it'll take you to get the gun out and put it back in.

It's not as easy to get the gun back in as it is to get it out. But it's still much easier with the policy than when you have nothing else in the pack.

I use the outside pocket to hold my suppressor and a 30 round magazine. It works to hold those items but it isn't easy to access. This is why the product has 4 stars instead of 5. It's definitely better than nothing but I wish it were easier to access.

In my opinion, this is the best solution for carrying a PDW in a backpack. If concealment is your concern then this is far superior to the purpose-built weapon packs like a Vertx, LBT, and Eblerstock.

I've got the Eblerstock Cherry Bomb and I feel like I'm carrying a sign on my back that says I have a gun!

Since I've gotten the policy it's hung in the closet.

While some of those packs blend in fairly well they do look noticeably different than normal packs and anyone familiar with the brands or shape can spot them for what they are. This is a no-go when you have a policy that helps you avoid this altogether.

If you want to be truly discreet using the policy with Jansport, Patagonia, Osprey, LL Bean or any common utilitarian pack is the way to go.
