Gun cases for trips to the range?

[mmb617]

I prefer a hard case to protect my pistols. I bought this Doro case last year and I'm very happy with it.

I use a duffel bag that has the BUICK logo on it. My Dad got it when he bought a Buick in the 90's. Carries everything I need. I put my handguns in cheap foam cases that are $5 at the local Bass Pro. What I have works well for me, so no need to spend money on a range bag.

Cheap gatemouth tool bags work great for me. I don’t like taking a ton of guns with me anyway-maybe two, or three maximum. I’ll use cheap nylon universal holsters for transit, or a gun rug if i have one that fits.

Midway does some very rugged range bags. When I was doing USPSA events, I was using the Large ($50) Midway competition bag and my Wife used the smaller ($25) competition bag.

For the indoor range, I simply use a 2-Pistol cordura 'portfolio' style case similar to this one from WalMart for $15.

I used to have a random vinyl shoulder bag and put a jumble of guns in gun rugs inside, but my sister got me a RangeMaxx range bag that has a place for a pistol on each side, pockets for magazines etc on the sides, and plenty of room in the middle for ammo and ear/eye pro. Everything but targets! I just love it and wish I'd gotten one much earlier.

Having a bag with pockets or slots for pistols really saves a lot of bulk, vs. rugs.

Thanks for the tip. I looked it up and ordered one. Also available from Amazon. I like the fact that it does not look like a gun bag.

Don't some states have very specific laws about transporting firearms? Some require locked cases for handguns with ammo apart from the firearm, etc. Surprised no one brought this up.

For handguns I use a Pachmayr Pistol Case. It will hold three guns, spotting scope, ammo and tools. I don't think they are made anymore. I see them on Ebay and they owners want a fortune for them. Holds everything you need.

This what I was referring to about a Pachmayr Pistol Case. You do not see a lot of them used anymore.......

I've had great luck with the Plano hard case from Cabela's
or Bass Pro, just to save the original case. I was rear-ended
in a rainstorm, when another car rear ended me at 60 mph
while I was stopped. The car was totaled, the trunk area
collapsed, the cases were destroyed, but NO damage to the
pistols (M&P9 2.0, SDVE9) or the rifle (M&P sport 2) From
that point forward, I was sold.

Could be but not sure. I would move if the state I lived in got that bad.

This is what I use and can carry 600rnds 9mm in the top. Bought on Amazon, its called Case Club. Handles 4 guns, 12 mags, a lot of ammo, and anything else. I consider it a top purchase for my shooting fun.

I just went ahead and bought this. No need to worry what neighbors will think

as I have my car parked in an attached garage.

Holds everything I need and still a little more room to spare.

I use a soft Cabela's fishing bag. lots of compartments and pockets. Has large fishing logo so no one knows it contains guns. come in many sizes and fairly cheap.

Not everybody lives in neighborhoods/communities that are ok with guns, and won't cause problems for you. Not to mention potential thieves. As I mentioned before, I live in an apartment complex with no attached garage, and I don't want to give any hints I have guns.

Feel sorry for you all............

Gun goes in smallest rug that fits and it goes into my Midway Waxed Canvas Pistol Range Bag. It's not the most efficient rage bag but could very well be the coolest. Currently on sale for $99.

Use a holster.

Dick's sporting goods range bag and a couple of Amazon US Peacekeeper pistol case/rugs for $7 bucks each here.
Targets, mags, ammo, cases, ears, and glasses all go in the bag.

I use Pelican Vault "hard side" cases with cut it yourself foam, no pluck out foam for me. The first one I bought is advertised as two guns, it can accommodate three full frame 6.5" barrel revolvers if you cut the foam so the guns are upright. You could squeeze another one in but not much foam at all between the revolvers.

The second Pelican Vault "hard side" is not specifically described with how many guns it can hold. I bought this case going off the internal measurements. It accommodates six full frame 6.5" barrel revolvers and retains 2" of foam between the guns and also the sides of the case.

I like the Pelican Vaults, weather proof, multiple hasps for locks and they seal with a rubber strip in the bottom and a "knife edge" in the top. If you want to do a different configuration replacement foam is avaiable.
