Favorite Range Bag?

[Narragansett]

So I guess a range bag falls under carry gear? Anybody use a range bag or have a favorite model?

I have been using the large bag from Waller for several decades know. It is great quality and holds up very well

Unfortunately, Waller is no longer in business

I just use a regular old backpack. I live in an apartment complex and I'd rather not carry anything that could suggest I have guns.

I have an old soft sided Armadillo Pistol Bag that I use when taking just a couple of handguns. When I take three or more I use a Pachmyer Gun Box. The Armadillo Bag is over 30 years old and the Pachmyer Gun Case is even older.

I am the guy who carries everything but the kitchen sink to the range. I've worn out more range bags than I can count. Found this GPS Handgunner Range Pack and it is amazing. A little pricey but it is great. Only mod. I've made is to the high density foam 5 pistol divider in bottom center. I took a large sharp kitchen knife and cut it into 2 sections so if I only need to take 2 or 3 pistols, I only use the appropriate section and then have the remaining space for ammo. A ton of pockets to keep everything organized. Even has it's own rain cover incorporated into the top pouch.

I'm an "everything but the kitchen sink" guy too. Rarely do I use my bag for pistols, unless I'm just bringing one. It goes into a rug and then the range bag. Usually I take more than one or rifles. I've fiddled with various range bags and settled on Uncle Mike's Side Armor Equipment Bag. It's big enough for my "stuff" but not so big to become unwieldy. Uncle Mike's offers other bags in the Side Armor line that might suit you better. Good quality at a reasonable price.

I have a DRAGO heavy canvas tool / range bag bought from LGS several years ago . Can pack couple pistols, several boxes of ammo and it has inside and outside pockets.

The Midway USA competition bag is the one I've been using for the last 6 years. It's built well and holds lotsa guns and gear and ammo. It's $69 and they have free shipping over $49.

I bought a $40 large range bag from Walmart that I've used for 3 or 4 years now. It's the "Fieldline Pro Series Deluxe Range Bag" and they still carry them. It's well-made - I've stuffed it with 5 or 6 guns, magazines, several boxes of ammo, etc., and it handled them just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

I like a simple, inexpensive gatemouth tool bag. They usually have lots of pockets lining the inside and outside of the bag, and they are always available.

Normal day at the range - USGI surplus gas mask bag. Works very well. For a really big day at the range - Southern Bell tool bag. BIG. Strong. Sincerely. bruce.

I have a range bag that’s branded “Michaels of Oregon”, But I believe it’s an Uncle Mikes product. It’s very well made and it has held up well over the 15+ years I’ve owned it. It has a shoulder strap and 2 large side pockets one of which holds a built in pistol rug. It’s got plenty of space for all your typical range gear plus guns and ammo.

I'm another tool bag from Home Depot fan.

It's the same company.

I use a common backpack that doesn't attract attention, but when I carry a rifle or a shotgun I use the carrying case according to the size of the weapon.

 

[Engineer1911]

I have a 1990's large Midway bag that is showing its age on the interior, Midway's newer large range bag with exterior pockets, and a 1992 Pachmyer 4-gun pistol box. Targets, pasters, stapler, staples and tape are carried in a 'Brownells' handout bag from an NRA Convention.

I bring the bag that matches what I'm shooting, rifles or handguns. Ammo is carried in the "container of the day".

 

[Jeppo]

$5 from Harbor Freight.

 

[Univibe]

Plano plastic box, large, olive drab.

I have two nice Dillon Precision bags and another nice one from Midway.

When I go to the range I end up packing 2 to 3 handguns and all gear/ammo in a canvas tool bag from Home Depot as well.

The cat really loves sleeping in the Midway bag!

A 80’s vintage Assault Systems bag for handguns, a Bob Allen bag for sporting clays and trap, a Midway bag for rifles, and a Chevy 2500 for everything else including the kitchen sink.

My range bag is from Bagmaster. I bought it in the very early 1990's and have used it ever since. I've had it so long that foam padding that is between the layers of nylon in the pistol rugs has crumbled! The crumbled foam does not affect the functioning of anything. My money was well invested.

I use the LA Police Gear "Tactical Bailout Bag". Works great and was less than $30. I bought is to replace my original Bailout Bag but it was bigger than the original so it became a range bag. The original bag was perfect for the stuff I needed daily in my patrol car. In retirement it still works well for EDC stuff!

I have a Drago backpack, a 5.11 sling pack and a Army S.E.R.E bag that I use as needed.

Would a 6" N-frame fit in that?

 

[URIT]

Research lead me to the Osage River Tactical Range Bag because it had all the features I wanted in a range bag. I have no trouble carrying multiple handguns, tools, and 500 rounds of ammo along with safety gear and targeting materials on range days.

Glenwolde: "Would a 6" N-frame fit in that?"

Unfortunately it is not deep or wide enough to fit a 6 in revolver.

 

[smoothshooter]

I use the big plastic Tidy Cat cat litter containers.
Waterproof, tough, free, and don't attract unwanted attention if someone sees it in my truck while parked away from home.
And comes with a sturdy carrying strap/handle.

 

[bigwheelzip]

I use a piece of carry-on sized luggage as a wheeled range bag.
The wheels really help get all that weight out to the range.

 

[StrawHat]

I use a wheeled tool box. Customized for my needs. Not the smallest or largest box, I chose the medium size because I knew when filled with two or three revolvers and ammunition it would be light enough for me to lift into my vehicle.

Currently, my brother is using it while he gets ready for competition this summer.

I've been using this Samsonite briefcase since the late 80s. It will carry a couple of pistols and a couple of boxes of ammo, along with all of the other related essentials that get hauled to the range. I never forget targets, a stapler, tape, etc., and it is about as incognito as it gets. Being that it is Samsonite, It will probably last longer than I will.
It gets supplemented with a tool bag for ammo and a multi pistol hard case for really long days at the range.
