Best pistol bag


RangerTrace

Recommended Posts

Since I've sold my two Wilson pistols, I'm in need of a couple good pistol bags with magazine pockets. I tried a CED two years ago, but the mag pockets were barely long enough to hold 140s.

So, who makes the best one?

Thanks,

Trace

I just got a couple of the Midway bags. Holds my open gun, 7 magazines (just barely holds my 170's and has 2 pockets on the opposite side that will easily hold 2 100 rd boxes. For $8 plus shipping, I figured I couldn't go too wrong. One caveat, if that's all you order, Midway tacks on a "special handling charge".

I wish I bought 3, for the special handling charge, the third bag would have been almost free. My fault for not paying attention.

I have two of these. M&P Pro 9mm in one and a Glock 35 in the other. On my next Midway order I'll probably pick up a couple more.

Also the full size Midway range bag has a side pocket that holds 8 mags and the internal stage bag holds an additional 6 mags. It has pockets for 4 guns as well.

How much padding do the Midway bags have? Is the padding on both sides of the pistol compartment or just one side?

Feels like about 1/4" padding on both sides of the main compartment. There's also the same padding on the outside of the double pockets.

I've got a blue Wilson Combat pistol bag that holds my Open Tru-Bore and 5 mag (4 x 140s and 1 x 170) on the inside of the bag. The zipper is just a bit tight getting around the 170mm mag, but no issues. Padding is nice and thick - protects both the pistol and the mags.

More then enough for placing it lose in a larger range bag or carrying as a stand alone bag with reasonable care (don't fold, spindle or mutilate).

Yeah, I really liked those Wilson bags, I just wanted something with their name on it :devil:

I have the dillon and the pouches suck for 140s, but its a great bag. I just picked up a bagmaster bag for ammo and the quality is top shelf.

EDIT and bagmaster is USA MADE!

I ordered one of these. Its still on its way(chose parel post to Hawaii). I originally intended to pick up a midway range bag, however they are on hold so this will hold me until they are available again.

The CED bag was one of the first that I bought. It was well made, but the mag pouches were too short for 140mm magazines. The velcro would reach, but just barely. The Midway bags aren't as nice, but they are very functional and inexpensive. They will work perfectly for what I use them for.

Thanks again for the tip, guys :bow:

Green Mountain Sports Range Bags

I bought one of these back in the mid-90's - it still looks and works great. Kinda pricey, but a very nice bag.

CED provides a fine and usable option - the bag raincoat: http://www.cedhk.com/shop/products/CED-XL-Range-Bag-Raincoat.html#

Is it possible to find a same accessory for 5.11 range bag ?

Or that raincoat could be compatible with 5.11 ?

You could also try luggage covers or the vacuum storage bags.
