Pistol Range bags?

I am looking for a good but inexpensive Range bag or tactical bag for my Handgunguns, etc. What do you recommend? Will be used for range visits, throw in my car, etc.
 
I have used both the Dillon and the Sig/Sauer.

The Dillon works just fine for one or two guns and as long as you are not carrying around a bunch of "stuff." When I got mine, it was about $70.

The one I use a lot is the Sig/Sauer. It was pretty close to $100 when I got it but it was money well spent.

I bought a Dillon for my son and it developed a small rip. I asked Dillon if they could repair it and they said sure. What they did was take the old one and toss it away and told me to pick one off the new rack. Dillon Precision is a company that absolutely stands behind their merchandise.

I know they have a larger bag now that will accomodate several guns.

That was the primary reason I got the Sig/Sauer bag. You can really load the bag down. I do not know how they would handle a warranty problem on a bag but if it is like they handle problems with their guns, you will be pleased.

My experience has been very positive for both companies. Dillon is right here in town and if I had the decision to make today, I would give very careful consideration to Dillon.

Hope this helps.

If you want high quality at a reasonable price for an American made bag .... Bagmaster is what I have made my default bag for all of my guns. Great stuff and helping to support our economy rather than China. They don't need any help. Bagmaster products are guaranteed for life as well.

For years I had been on a quest for the perfect range bag for my handgun shooting trips. In the last 15 years I've probably purchased at least a dozen or so. Many of them online or at different stores during my travels, most didnt hold up or offer the space that I really needed. I like to take at least 5 handguns including my 9.5" Super Redhawk, Colt King Cobra, 6" GP100, and usually two or three others. I also pack a dozen to 15 boxes of ammo along with some gunsmithing tools and accessories such as a couple of pair of hearing muffs, indoor and outdoor shooting glasses, basic cleaning supplies, ect. Needless to say thats a lot of weight and honestly most of the bags just didnt hold up. Then about three years ago, I was shopping at a local home improvement store for some saw blades when I saw the perfect bag for hauling my heavy load to the range. Its made by CLC Custom LeatherCraft, and yes, its a large heavy duty tool bag. Its made to haul a heavy load of tools. It has thick padded handles and a nicely padded shoulder strap to manage the weight of the load. It has three compartments with the main compartment measuring 21" L X 10" W X 16" D. This compartment holds 12 boxes of ammo in the floor of the bag and 5 full size handguns in their rugs with room to spare for a couple of pair of hearing muffs, towel, and other items. It also has storage pockets at each end of the main compartment for other items like shooting glasses and such. One of the best parts is the two huge outside fully opening zipper pockets, one side holds a full range of gunsmithing tools, and the other side holds a full cleaning kit plus other accessories. Its designed to haul tools so its built like a tank. It has the biggest, most heavy duty zippers that I've ever seen. They're monsters that feel like they zip on ball bearings. Just look at the size of the stitching on this thing. By far the best range bag that I've ever owned and probably the last. Can you tell I have become pretty fond of this bag.

don't laugh but I bought a tool bag from Home Depot. Two end pockets on each end on the outside hold my AR mags. Many (6? per side) pockets lining the inside that hold the magazines for the four different semi-autos and lots of interior space gun pouches, ammo, and all of the other stuff we need. Very reasonably priced and it doesn't scream GUN when sitting in my car, although it is usually in the trunk.
 
I've used my Armadillo for years. It's durable and tough. No amount of ammo or guns is too heavy for it. Has padded dividers to protect guns. and plenty of room in center for ammo.:cool:

Yes, I have the fancy ones with all the zippered compartments. I tend to convert those into go bags for emergency use. I take the Armadillo to the range.
 
I usually carry in a bag similar (but not identical) to this one http://www.thisnext.com/tag/hornady-ammo/ the one i have does not have the unfortunate shoulder strap that makes this one look like a purse.

i bought it for $4 at a clearance sale at a surplus store. unfortunately my pistol is not with me right now as i recently moved to NY :( now it is full of crummy GI m16 mags.

might be worth swinging by a surplus store and seeing what they have. it will be cheaper, hands on, and IMHO just as good as one of those high speed bags.
 
The Midway bag is a great bag at a good price, I've had one for a year or so. They sent a free strap to replace the old one after they determined it was not as well made as it should be, and I was able to switch the old strap to another bag - thanks Midway!

Anything saying or sold by "...Tactical..." is most likely overpriced IMHO.
 
So. . .how many "loads" 'ya think you can get in THAT bag?
Click to expand...

4 pistols, 16 magazines, 600 rounds of ammo, 3 sets of shooting ear muffs, 3 bottles of water, 3 packs of Lance cheese crackers, a pen, 3 pairs of shooting glasses.
