What's a solid range bag that can be used to hold a few pistols, ammunition, and other accessories? What's something that is good for the money and won't hurt the wallet?

LA Police Gear bail out bag. Love mine and just big enough to fill up with a day's worth of range goodies

Midway has excellent range bags that go on sale fairly often.



LAPG has good range bags that go on sale fairly often.



i suggest getting a number of small range bags instead of one huge bag.



One should be for always-needed stuff, like eye and ear pro, gloves, generic cleaning stuff, and so forth.



The others should be loaded-up prior to leaving home with just what you will need for that shooting session.



Make up some simple check-lists, and it will save you from forgetting stuff, and also from lugging way too much stuff to the range. After all, if you have a HUGE bag, and everything is inside it, that makes for difficulty in finding small stuff.

The jumbo bailout bag is on sale and is just $10 more.  Ordered mine last night.

Another vote for the Midway bag. I use the compact version, still holds tons of stuff.

It's almost always on sale for $29.99.

Shooters Connection bag.

Midway bags are cheap knock offs of it.

My midway bag lasted a little over a year, my SC bag is going on 5 and still looks new.

Seems to me that LAPG has gotten better about letting customers know whether stuff is in stock or not.  I've gotten pretty irritated with them in the past.

Aircrew Helmet Bag

I use one of these that was issued to me when I joined the AF.  It's been a great little range bag.

Be careful about loading one of those down with heavy items.  The seams are along the edges.

I usually carry about 150 rnds of 9mm, 60 rnds of 6.8spc, 50 rnds .380, 50 rnds of .38 special, a bag of .22lr and .22 mag + a Glock 19 and Colt Huntsman in one case, and a Charter Arms revolver + NAA 22 mag revolver in another case.  In one of the front pockets it holds ESS eye wear, two surefire ear plugs. In the other front pocket it holds a Gerber Multi-tool and a Bore Snake.

This is my usual load out and I hit the range about once every other month with no issues with the bag.  I agree it's not a heavy duty range bag but as a recreational shooter it works well for me (even better that it was issued to me for free).  Thanks for the heads up

No worries, I just remember using one on a daily basis through the 90's.  



It bit the dust when the seams just sort of... disintegrated.

FWIW, I tried a few traditional range bags and gave up on them. I've been much happier with a small back pack (Tac Tailor or Maxpedition) because I can everything I need it in and it leaves my hands free to carry other things like multiple rifles, brass catcher, etc.

I've been using a circa 1994 camcorder black bag.. big enough to hold my ammo, pistol (or 2), and outside slash/zipper pocket for plugs, adjustment tools, and range cards and such..

I'll put a picture up later..
