I'm trying to find a good range bag that will let me be very organized that meets the following criteria.
- Cordura nylon fabric, not cheap polyester
- some type of reinforcement on the outside bottom of the bag, though this is a rare feature
- multiple compartments. You've got to be able to organize the gear or it becomes a huge hassle.
- a zip pocket on the long side with slots for pistol magazines
- the main area's volume should be dividable/adjustable, like with velcro-ed in dividers. There are home-brew solutions to the "black hole" problem too.
- a pocket that you can dedicate to your blowout kit
- the bag should have structure, which is usually achieved with stiff foam padding. A floppy, sagging bag sucks.
- more volume than you may think you need now
- avoid cheap plastic hardware, i.e. D-rings and hook snaps. The best makers actually weld the ends of their D-rings together.
- the main area should be accessible by a large top flap with double zippers, so that you have full access; not just a single zipper down the middle.
- zippers should be the big, fat #10 YKK coil type
- the webbing handles should go completely around the body of the bag
Anyone know of anything like it? What bags can you recommend based on your personal experience?
These are the things I'll be carrying in it:
Water bottles
Spare gun(s)
blue gun
extra holster
Magazines
Ammo
Eye pro w/ spare
Ear Pro w/ spare
Staple gun/staples
masking tape
heavy folder full of target print outs
shot timer
blow out kit
sunscreen/chapstick
gloves
hat
cleaning kit/lube
tool kit
And any other miscellaneous gear that somehow finds its way into gun bags.
