Overview of the 5.11 Tactical 2-Banger Bag tactical EDC sling bag (MPN: 56180)

Need fast access without a bulky pack? The 5.11 Tactical 2-Banger Bag is a compact tactical EDC sling bag built for patrol, range days, and low-vis missions. It carries two AR magazines and your daily essentials while staying tight to the body for quick movement. Model 56180 uses resilient 500D nylon with a reinforced 1050D base, plus self-healing YKK zippers and molded pulls for dependable performance in tough conditions.

The ambidextrous strap wears cross-body or as a waist strap, so you can transition from vehicle to foot patrol in seconds. A loop-sided TacTec compartment secures a backup pistol, and the admin pocket organizes tools, gloves, and ID. Laser-cut and web MOLLE let you add pouches without bulk. Drain holes shed rain. Available in black or Double Tap gray.

Professionals choose the 2-Banger when a full backpack, duty sling, or range bag is too slow. This law enforcement sling pack solves the pain point of slow gear access with a flap or bungee mag retention system you can run by feel. Lightweight, durable, and ready when it counts.
