Range Bag

Thanks again for all the replies. A lot of choices here. I'll take a look at all of them.
 
I was gifted this bag a few years ago and it has held up quite well and gets used quite a bit. Downside: it is large enough that one can pack enough stuff in it to make it quite heavy. I like the bag though and find it very handy.

Go to Home Depot or any such store and look at tool bags. Mine cost me only $ 4.97 and is just the right size for me. There are larger ones, and all are less money than "range bags".
 
This one is great: Death Dealer Tactical "Ranger" Soft Padded Range Bag @ Amazon

Tough, thick nylon construction. Comes in different colors. Mine is OD green.

Holds its shape empty, stiff fold-down floor. Dual zippers on the upper opening main compartment for complete top opening. Both sides unzip and lay down in case you don't want to set anything nice on bare dirty tables. Not too big, not too small. Loops, inside/outside pockets, velcro, shoulder strap, oh my!

imakmst, that there is a standard military issue holster. I have one that I "acquired" when I left active duty. That's the basic holster you get issued when your rated to carry a pistol. Nowadays, their only worn for dog and pony stuff like change of command ceremonies or standing garrison duty. For pistol range qualification and deployment, everyone would buy their own high speed holster but I think that now they may be issuing serpa holsters.
 
Over the last 10 years or so I have been using a Codura Gym type bag. It has lots of room, plenty of pockets, a strong handle and will carry much more than any "official Range bag" I know of. I purchased it at Sports Authority for around $23 buck. Still looks as good as new.

Circa early 90's, that's a Bianchi UM84 "short" (named so at the time) sized to exactly fit a Beretta 92FS Compact w/ 4.3" bbl. I also have a 90's UM84 "regular" for my 92FS which was sized to fit the military M9. Both have the removable flap and removable strap w/ thumb snap. Military quicklock belt fastener on the other side. They're kinda cool for range and woods use.
 
Go to your local sporting goods store and look at fishing tackle bags. They are eerily similar to range bags but have several added features that are quite nice. I have been using one for years now.

This is the off-season, so many are on sale at great prices.
 
My handgun bag came from ebay and is smaller cordura version of some seen above. I got it looking under "military bags" there and they sell around $10. Padded, durable, compartments,handles,etc.. Not surplus, newly made and commonly seen.
 
My old Air Force tool bag works just fine.

Just checked it to make sure; two boxes of 30-40, 12 M1 clips, three mags of M1 Carbine and room for two S&W revolvers. Yep, works just fine.
