    I can pee outside.

    Let's talk about range bags

    I'm in the market for a new range bag.
    Nothing as big as a Samsonite suitcase, but something versatile.

    What are y'all using, and what do you/don't you like.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a couple RANGE BAG setups. If I’m going to the outdoor range with long guns, I have a large SnugPak rolling duffle. I need the size to carry my spotting scope, tripod, ammo, targets, etc. The rolling feature helps because it can be a trek from the parking lot to the lanes. I’ll carry the long guns in a separate backpack style case.

    For handgun range trips, I have a Midway brand range bag. It holds 2 pistols, and has enough room for all the misc tools and essentials. If I need extra space for ammo, I’ll bring an MTM ammo can.

    I use a small pelican case with small nylon bags and Magpul Daka's to organize. I have a small loose ammo bag inside it that I can carry downrange if needed. I like that its waterproof and is good if it starts to rain or you stash it in the bed of the truck.

    I carry so much ammo and stuff now that a shoulder bag or backpack is too much. I now use this and it has been so much easier. At $47 from Walmart, it has been a bargin. Link.

    Not to be that guy, but here are several multi-page threads under the search option "range bags."

    FWIW I have several of these general design: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/939221689?pid=288297



    I believe one is from Midway another is from LAPG and I think maybe Boyt/Bob Allen.

    Also have numerous of these, one for every pistol we shoot at GSSF matches and several for my other high-use pistols: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/939160870?pid=146982

    They fit in the main compartment of my range bag and are handy when I take more than one pistol to the range.

    Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....

    I like being able to roll up targets and stow them in the side pockets, or keep B8 repair centers flat in the back zipper panel. I can also pack my Mk18 in it.

    I use the GPS Tactical Range Packpack

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CQ8G2RO/ref=emc_b_5_i?th=1

    Holds my eye and ear pro, timer, pistol ammo, Leatherman tool, writing tools, training log, holster, mag carriers, and pistol (two when required). It came with a brass bag too, I think.
    I can grap this and a stack of targets and head to the range. With a long gun, I obviously need another case.
    I’ve removed some the extraneous straps and added some MOLLE mag pouches to carry extra for IDPA matches.
    It’s held up with weekly use for 5 years or so, and I’m not looking for anything else.

    The midway bag absolutely exceeds the intersection of quality and value when it can be had on sale. I have used on nearly exclusive for a 2 Glock (g34/35) set up for 15+ years.
    It is still quite serviceable and can be loaded up well past comfortable to carry.

    If I was going to spend more than 100, I would want 500 d cordura and YKK zippers for sure.

    So, I suffer from "fill the space" syndrome. And my best way to combat this is to limit the space I can fill.

    Recently I bought one of these 5.11 Range Bags: https://www.511tactical.com/range-qualifier-bag.html - Which at 18L is fairly small overall. But I've found it perfect for carrying two pistols, a few hundred rounds, a holster or two, some B8s, mags, ears, and first aid. It doesn't hold much else, I could probably get a compact staple gun in there. Then I'd be about out of space.

    But it solved my major problem, which is too much gearitis.

    Probably a lot bigger than you looking for but I love my Force Protector Deployer bag. I got sick of juggling everything with multiple trips to my vehicle and to the range and back, now these are the three bags I take to every class or range trip.

    Force Protector Deployer bag with all my gear, OSOE vehicle med bag and SERT 36" TCC with two carbines...
