Anyone find a good AR pistol bag that does not scream.......Weapon?
Thanks |

Tennis bag. My 10.5 inch pistol Ar will fit You don't even have to disassemble and can fit with a 30 rounder in there.
|
|
Go to walmart and get a Wilson Tennis racket holder for $14. My 10.3 inch pistol fits very nicely.

Not a Tennis item but worth a look:

Doesn't necessarily scream "gun", I know a few people who use them for stuff like band equipment. But it is kindof obvious. If I break the 10.5 apart it fits nicely in a standard backpack. Im using a 5.11 Rush 24 pack that doubles as my hiking backpack. I threw a piece of packing foam in there that acts like a spacer between the upper and lower so they don't rub when the pack is pulling AR duty. Can be assembled in about 30 seconds or less, long as you dont pull the upper out of the bag the wrong way and pull your BCG out of the upper by mistake ![]() Currently building a 5.5" 9mm build that will be 20" overall length, that should fit in a backpack assembled. 5.11 has a "select carry sling" backpack that will fit a 7.5" AR or below very nicely, but a bit expensive. I see one in my distant future. Cheapest route is still a tennis bag. I do love my 5.11 stuff though. I may be a sucker

The Blackhawk covert bags were about $35 on dvor.com the other day. They look like a tennis racket bag and come in blue/white and red/white color configurations.

this is a great case. with one exception, no straps inside.
Even so, I often take two carbines broken down with 4 mags in it. It fits my 10.5 pistol with a mag in the well and and eotech mounted $27 |

went back a bit to find this but thought it would be worth it to add. Im thinkokg of getting the UTG one for my pistol
Found these 2 cases that look perfect for a low profile ar pistol or sbr bag UTG Alpha Battle Carrier sling pack ![]() Covert Rifle Bag CBR Small ( larger available) ![]() |

I found one that I really like and doesn't stands out yet it has tons of pockets for many accessories, and you can get many different sizes.....the one below is 25" W

I was looking for something for my Sig P556. Going to try a tripod bag.

If I see someone that has one of these strapped I am going the other way ![]() I like it though...but I think I rather have COVRT M4 Shorty.... |

Both my pistols fit nicely in the Covert bag from the ARFcom store. 10.5' 300BLK and 7.5" 5.56, they were on sale during black Friday. Very well padded case that doesn't scream gun.

I have a Blackhawk bag similar to the UTG bag a few post up, which I throw in to a large Samsonite suitcase I got off craigslist for $10. It's large enough to put two ammo cans and the bag. I leave the house with the suitcase and upon arrival at my destination I open the suitcase and set up, everthing is contained in one whole unit

Those specialty bags are great BUT, as was the point in the original post, they look like gun bags! And if not gun bags then some other sort of expensive specialty/custom device or instrument. That makes them just as attractive a target for thieves. I DO NOT EVER leave weapons anywhere that they could be taken, but I think the original thought was what type of carry bag would be the least interesting if viewed laying on the back seat of a car parked in the walmart shopping center. For that a cheesy tennis bag with a can of balls next to it would be perfect.

A padded ukulele bag works just fine and can be had for $20 on eBay. They make them in "tenor" size (26" - say for a 10.5" barrel), and "concert" size (23" - more like 7.5" barrel). Get the thickest padding to reduce printing. Some of them even have dual shoulder straps like a backpack.
It's great camo - nobody wants to hear you play your ukulele. Tell any fool hipster who asks that you just started taking lessons. That should end the conversation. I still wouldn't leave it in plain sight in a car. A crackhead will steal anything. |

I don't see what all the fuss is about, an AR pistol will fit in most backpacks if you are concerned about being covert. Or the $15 tennis bag. And that ridiculous 5.11 messenger bag? ![]() |

Gander mountain had one of the blackhawk tennis racquet bags for $65. Looked like a nice bag but I didn't care for it. After Xmas I am going to order that utg one.
Probably shouldn't have gone with a 11.5in barrel if I was concerned about concealing it |

I just received my bag shown above and my Pistol 24" fits perfect inside along with 6 30 rounds mags & 4 handgun mags. The best part about this bag is it's made well that it doesn't look like a gun bag & it doesn't feel heavy with the Pistol & loaded mags

I've had the Blackhawk! faux tennis bag for about a month and love it. What it has that a 3-racquet tennis bag doesn't is a hard center divider and hard-ish sides to keep the contents from printing. But the thing doesn't look hard-sided. The center divider is handy if you break down a rifle. Upper goes on one side, lower on the other and still room for sling and a couple extra magazines. My 7.75-barrelled pistol fits on one side with plenty of room to spare.
Not a perfect disguise but if you are going to the range a lot your neighbors will be a lot less jumpy when they don't see you carrying rifle cases in and out of the house every couple of days. |

I use one of the cases I bought from the store here on ar15.com w/ my AR pistols. Works well and holds up to my 12.5" pistols assembled. I change the velcro straps depending on what I've got in it.

Ditto Wilson tennis bag from WM. Works great, all my neighbors think I have taken up tennis now :-)

I got a Ektelon racketball bag from Academy for $25. It is padded and has a partition. Lower receiver on one side, upper on on the other. Small mesh pocket for two 30 round Pmags. Works perfectly.

View Quote If that's what one is worried about then best to find anything that throw them off, backpack works the best in that situation. For those that park their vehicles in the garage should not have any issue since neighbors can't see what you are loading in/out of your vehicles.....but if one have non-gun/rifle bag (obvious) type then all is well. The bag I went with looks more like a violin bag like the one my daughter has, very similar so for my nosy neighbors they think I am taking up violin now.... ![]() |

I remember years ago, my friend had a photo studio in the middle of my capital city. I had a few stripper friends that needed photos done.
This was during the Patty Hearst time frame. I've always played guitar. I stuffed a Thompson Carbine in a guitar case no ammo walked it from a parking garage through the middle of the city, plus a large photo bag, I still can't find those slides to this day. I think the wife tossed them out. Never try that today. Stripper looked way better than PH. |
