Good rangebag?


Recommended Posts

Wanna carry 4-5 boxes of ammo, Two ear-protect's, Two sets of glasses. That's about it. What's a good range bag with compartments for this? Don't want to crush my glasses with my ammo or muffs.

I use one of my 4 year old sons old diaper bag. :) Ghetto? Maybe, but it works and it has compartments and a pad to lay side arms on.

Their picture sucks, do you have a better pic?

This is the one I use, it works well enough. I wish it had something to hold my pistols in place, though.

Their new website sucks ass for pictures, I will take some of my bag tomorrow I actually ordered mine after seeing Clint Smith's at Thunder Ranch, this is a serious overbuilt range bag that will last a lifetime, they will custom embroider your name or anything else, I had sent them some patches from the manufacturers of a few of my 1911's and they sewed them on while the bag was being made this is truly a custom bag

Here is a link with some good pictures of one of their bags http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57774

Like Chemprof, I have the Uncle Mike's. Not having seen the Midway bag, I can't make a direct comparison, but I'm pretty sure my range bag will outlive me. A normal range visit for me involves 3 or 4 pistols, 2 sets of eyes, 1 set of ears, disposable earplugs, targets, staple gun and staples, basic tools and cleaning supplies, hordes of magazines, and 100-200 rounds of .45 and 9mm, plus a bulk box of .22lr. I never use all of it, but it's there if the urge arises, and the bag holds it all.

I've been using one of Uncle Mike's. Usually can fit 8-10 boxes of ammo, ear protection, glasses, all my mags, and with additional gun rugs, can fit 4-5 handguns as well.

Same bag I use. It was very cheap and holds a ton of stuff. The strap isn't very comfortable if you have it loaded down though.

I've got a good tool bag I bought at Lowes. Really strong bottom for ~500 rds and a couple guns. Not a bad price either, compared to some "real" range bags I've seen.

Got one of these myself. I think it is a Klein Tool bag with a white canvas upper and a rubber or heavy plastic bottom. As i remember they are about 8 inches wide by 20 incles long and 10 or 12 inches deep with a good handle. They are a great bag for about $40 to $45 dollars.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

That's a lot of range bags. Thanks for all the input. I'm going to take 4-5 boxes of ammo, two muffs, two glasses, and that's it. I carry my guns in pockets, holster, and cases. I don't see any need for taking extra magazines, if the SHTF at the range I think I won't be alone. I want a bag that has compartments in the middle to seperate the ammo and muffs and keep them apart with a little padding. I want to carry the glasses in seperate compartments to keep from crushing them. I've seen bags at sporting good stores that are all open in the middle. No seperation. 3-4 center compartments would be perfect with a couple of side zippers for the glasses.

I picked up a bag at Gander Mountain tha tI think i snear perfect. It looks like about the size and shape of the Midway bag. The quality of my bag is outstanding, very rugged, has lots of pockets, and even game with a smaller pistol case. I easily hold several boxes of ammo, two ear muffs, eye protection, some targets, and other assorted smallish items. Best of all I think it was around $30-$35.

If you have a Gander Mountain nearby, I'd recommend taking a look.

I currently use the the Midway USA and love it. Like others, I find the shoulder strap a bit inadequate with a load. May look for another bag this Christmas.
