burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 i have the regular jumbo and love it. i find it to be just the right size, and holds everything. would i take a free mongo size to replace my jumbo? probably not. i like the compactness of it.

Mokken Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Is there a separate compartment for storing the gun and will a standard pistol case fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 no, you just use the universal maxpedition holster in the CCW compartment. there are plenty of little compartments that keep everything organized, which is my favorite part. i used to do a backpack but i kept filling it with organizers to the point where half the weight and size was just the dang organization.

Mokken Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 What about magazines? Just throw them in a compartment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 ok, here's how i load it out: - CCW compartment holds gun - main compartment has two pockets, each one holds a 100 round ammo tray. middle has the mags thrown in, with my ears on top of them. - side compartment has gloves for setup reset and teardown - sleeve pocket behind it has a bore brush for cleaning mags and grip lotion. - front pocket has snacks and gum - bottle pocket has 1L bottle - top flap has a top pocket and front sleeve... top pocket has tools, like my leatherman, surefire light, and knife. front sleeve has hand sanitizer, a couple band aids, lip balm, eye drops for my contacts - there's molle webbing on the part that connects to the shoulder strap... i was able to connect my regular belt holster for my droid on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokken Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 What are the pros and cons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 if i have a longer outdoor match, then the space between the ammo trays in the main compartment holds sandwiches. the center compartment is pretty big so it still all fits with the six mags. then i jsut go back to the car mid day for a second 1L bottle of water.

Mokken Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Will the Rudy sunglasses box fit with everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 well i like how small and compact it is. no more fumbling with a big bag, and there's just enough room for what i personally like to have in my bag. it's great for local matches... i haven't shot a big match with it yet... but remember, there's always a lunch break to go refill the bag with another water bottle and more food. i'm fat, so i have to constantly eat. the only diet i'm on is a see-food diet. i haven't shot with this style yet in the summer, that's when i can finish 4L of water easy from 7am to 7pm. that might be the dealbreaker if i have to keep going back to my car. on the other hand, there's always water stations at major matchesw in the summer.

burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 i'm wearing the rudys on the way to the range so no, i don't have a place for them in the bag. what are you using now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokken Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I have the maxpedition falcon 2, I like it, I don't really have anything I dont use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 i have the falcon 2 as well. i guess it depends on how many extras you lug around. i mean, the only thing you're doing between stages is: 1. reload mags 2. sip water 3. eat (i'm fat) so i made a list of what i needed to do in order to accomplish these three tasks. i didn't need to carry a pistol sleeve to every stage, nor my 6-mag sleeve, nor 500 tools, all my lenses, and the entire day's worth of food and water. in the end, everything fit neatly into my jumbo.

Mokken Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Ok, thanks for the help. Maybe someone has a Mongo and they can chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 mongo is the same thing, just that the center compartment is longer. though at that size, you're might as well looking at a small standard type range bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 In 2011 I used the 1776 Tactical Second Amendment Range Pack and really liked it. Has plenty of space, lots of compartments and nifty attachment points. Will have to see how it holds up. It held up last year for many club matches and 4 major matches.

Vlad Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I've been using a Jumbo as a match range bag for about 2 years. I find that a larger bag just gets filled with weight I don't actually need and since I hurt my back I try to carry less. Like the man resembling the burning rodents (dude! how the hell did you pick that name??) I find that the Jumbo fits everything I need and not a lot more. Gun, ammo, gloves, a bit of oil, spare parts, and my leatherman. I also chuck in my flashlight and wallet so I don't have them in my pockets while I shoot. Water, spare ear plugs, gum, a bag of nuts or whatever snack, 200-300 rounds of ammo, etc, all have their places. Normally my Rudy's case rides in the water bottle pocket when not at the range as the water rides in the cooler until I get to the range, and once on the range the case stays in the car and the glasses on my face, water bottle in replacing it. At the end of the day my belt/holster/etc rig just gets chucked in the back of the car where it stays until the next match or range session and the jumbo is all that comes into the house. Works for me, I wouldn't want anything bigger, its damn perfect. I even shot a 3 gun match or two with it, fitting all the handgun and rifle ammo and a couple of spare rifle mags (while the rest of the mags were on me), but the shotgun ammo and water cooler where ridding on someone else's garden cart. Edited to add: if your wife is like mine she will laugh and point and call it a purse. I prefer tactical European shoulder bag. Also the little clip on the shoulder strap holds my keys so they don't bang around my pockets. Edited December 29, 2011 by Vlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I can live with it, I'm secure enough. Start worrying when I start shooting in a kilt, while wearing that range bag. And applying mascara. Edited December 29, 2011 by Vlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
