Here's the Bagmaster bag review.
herbie1 makes a good point about attracting attention from thieves, but I'm not sure it is valid. Would a typical thief know a gun bag from a tool bag at sight? Would a thief think you were carrying tools into and out of the gun shop or range, no matter what bag you had?

Not necessarily to be discrete in and out of the range (although it doesn't hurt), but also in and out of home/apartment walking to the car.
Where ever I happen to be with my range bag, I would not like anyone to think there is anything worthwhile in the bag. Before I got the tool bag, I had sometimes even used a doubled up, handled , paper shopping bag as my range bag. Needless to say it wasn't very durable, but it certainly was discrete. I have seen some use a plain old backpacks as their range bag. Some tool bags look like obvious tool bags. Other tool bags are generic looking bags, much like some range bags which can also be generic looking. What is not discrete are the the ones with large 'Smith & Wesson' or other logo plastered on them. H. |

I've got the large midway bag, I can vouch for its quality.

Herbie1,
Thanks. You make a good point. I have a friend that uses a diaper bag for his camera bag for the same point. |

Not an ad for HD but I like the Husky 24". Plenty of compartments for 'stuff'.

As of yesterday Midway's range bags are on sale. The larger one is $20 off at $39.95 sale price. There are something like 150+ glowing reviews on the bag on the Midway site - I ordered one.

I use the Army issue mechanics tool bag in nylon duck canvas. You can find them occasionally at surplus stores. Wrap web handles, serious YKK zipper, and double bottom that stays flat and wraps up to make two pockets inside.
It's built to hold as much steel in it as you can tote around. A quick google search will get you vendors for Jack Bauer's go bag, along with Blackhawk, Eagle, TAD, and a dozen others. Countycomm offers different bags by Maratac, in a variety of sizes, with exterior MOLLE webbing. Lots of shooters use them, too, along with uses for First Response, call out, or emergency gear for vehicles. Some of the electricians and carpenters bags work well, and they can be found at flea markets or pawn shops. You can also find well padded laptop backpacks at college resale shops, too. |
