Bagmaster Tournament Model 2
My favorite 1 or 2 pistol bag out of all that we carry is the Bagmaster Tournament Model 2. It holds 2 pistols, mags, ammo, muffs and more. It is still made here in the States and comes with a lifetime warranty. Good luck.

I found this one at Megasports outside Joliet IL. It's huge! Zippered compartments everywhere, lots of room.
It was about $49, but I was tired of using a gatemouth tool bag for the range.

StraightShot,
Can you tell us more about this bag (besides the physical info shown on your website) to help us make a decision? Have been studying it carefully but hesitate to order it sight unseen. Currently using a Mini Bag Deluxe by one of your competitors which is great for light use but is beginning to bulge with accumulated misc gear. Their larger Pro Shooter bag is too big for my taste and needs. The Bagmaster TM2 may just be the mid-size bag I need. Thanks for any info/help you can provide.
Good shooting and be safe.

ps: Part of my problem is that I have given away the last two range bags I bought because they were not "quite" what I really wanted.

LHB1:
On the negative side, the TM2 can get crowded if one takes everything to the range that one can think of putting in it. I have a friend named Bob who crams the heck out of his with everything that he can think of. He likes it, but sometimes wishes it were bigger and had a dedicated area to put multiple sets of eyeglasses in. He also has a larger bag, but he fills that up, too. Most often than not, though, he uses his TM2 since he can’t seem to stop bringing stuff with him. For most people, it works fine.
On the positive side, one just drops a pistol or two in each side from the top. There aren’t pouches to fuss with. 4 magazine holders are attached to the pistol pockets on each interior side, and one can put mags in or slide a couple of screwdrivers and small flashlight into them instead of mags. On the end of the bag, a square, zippered pouch has some padding and can be used for carrying a timer or other things. It also has a large, zippered side pocket as well for placing items (this does not have padding). In addition, the opposite side pocket is an open, un-zippered drop in pouch that has three loops for pens or small screwdrivers. Targets or scorecards can be dropped into this open side pocket and can protrude out as well. Inside the bag itself, the middle of the bag is open for ammo or whatever one needs to put inside.
Another plus is that when going out to the trap field or rifle range instead of the pistol range, this bag will work fine, too. Since it doesn’t need pistol pouches to keep its form, it stands up by itself, unlike to the Pro-Shooter’s Bag Small, etc. The interior pistol pockets can just be pushed to the side and shotshell boxes or rifle ammo fit without a problem.
So, I guess if you’re the sort who likes to take multiple calibers of ammo, a cleaning kit, extra parts, a lot of tools, a few extra guns, extra towels, more tools, more gizmos, more gadgets, more cleaning supplies, etc., this bag probably wouldn’t be the right solution for you because you’d fill it up like Bob does. If, on the other hand, you plan on taking a couple of guns, muffs, three or four boxes of ammo, tools, shooting glasses and a few other things, it’s a great bag.
Thanks for the question. I hope that I’ve given you the answer that you were looking for.
Take a kid shooting,

I have handled a lot of the bags before I bought one, including Bagmaster and such, and for the price you cannot beat the Uncle Mikes DELUXE Range bag at:
http://www.productwizard.com/unclemikes-52411.html
I also handled some factory logo bags from S&W, Glock, Ruger, they are all thin and wimpy and collapse when empty. The pro bags have some nice features but are ridiculously priced - for gods sake its a friggin BAG!
If you can find this Uncle Mikes bag in stock locally to actually see it, you wont believe it for this price. Most shops will ask $60 for it. Pictures dont do it justice. Maybe I will post some of my own.
* The bag simply stands up rigid all by itself. So rigid that with it empty and zipped closed, 200 rounds of 9mm ammo will just sit on top. The material feels like a heavy double wall with padding. I have not seen any cordura weave this heavy before - period. If your looking for lightweight, this bag's not for you. I bet it goes a couple of pounds empty.
* The zippers are just plain huge. Each zipper head or "tractor" is as big as my thumb and includes lock provisions. You wont be breaking a zipper.
* The shoulder strap buckles are almost 3" wide.
* It has a solid bottom insert to handle the weight of ammo.
* It has feet.
* Comes with a nice heavey padded gun rug.
* I like the "roll up" top strap that self sticks with velcro out of the way.
* I like the five 5" x 6" internal pockets with velcro closures. It does not have any little "magazine dedicated" pockets so you wont have wasted space if your not carrying magazines. Those look cool to sell bags, but you can keep em.
* Its' very roomy (for me).
Needless to say, I am thrilled.
If they only made laptop bags like this...

You're welcome. Just spreading the good news.
I've been looking for a range bag about the last week online, and there are some very nice ones out there and most of them are $$$. That bag choochboost posted up, looks about the best bang for the buck @ $30. At $17? I'd of had X-mas shopping done with, wow I wish I had found the deal then.
I'm guessing it was a X-mas sale?
