I'm living in an apartment again in a mostly liberal town. I'm looking at getting the Blackhawk Medium Alert Load Out Bag from Amazon. I need to look somewhat discreet so Multicam load out bags from LBT when they are on sale are not an option. If anybody has any other suggestions for a rolling range/load out bag let me know. Thanks in advance.

| It may be smaller than you require, and it is more expensive, so this response is likely totally worthless for you. But, maybe the Maxpedition Tactical Roll-On Bag? |

I have both an Blackhawk Alert 5 bag, and the new rolling loadout bag from FirstSpear. The FirstSpear one is superior in every way.
http://www.first-spear.com/product.php?productid=17838&cat=295&page=2 ETA- the colors they offer are by far lower key than Multicam, or even black. I have the "Manatee Grey" and it's inconspicuous as hell. ETA2- Things to note about why the FirstSpear bag is better: 1, The frame is metal vs plastic, and much sturdier. 2, the wheels are MUCH more robust. 3, the pull handle on top is offset so the bag doesn't run all up on your damn ankles as you walk with it behind. 4, the dimensions are slimmer but taller, so it holds about the same while fitting in the back seat of a car/truck better and easier to get in and out. 5, the fabric and stiching is just light years ahead of the blackhawk. 6, it's actually USA made. |

Do you have any actual reason the bag needs to be tactical themed? Because otherwise, a discreet wheeled loadout bag is called: luggage. There are tons of wheeled travel bags out there. Pink with My Little Pony stuff if you really want to go under the radar. Or better yet, velcro patches, so you can alternate between the my little pony patches and tactical patches when you actually get to the range. |

I like that orange rust colored one, but not to the tune of $340. |

The Blackhawk Alert 5 (almost identical in volume) retails for 429, sells for 300 at the cheapest I've found and has all the deficiencies mentioned above. So even at 340, it's worth it to me. Really sealed the deal when I figured out dealer price was like 220
