Looking for backpack


Recommended Posts

I have searched the web for what I think is the perfect backpack for pistol matches, I can not seam to find it. I was wondering what you guys have found and / or use ? I am looking for a small to medium size pack, places to put mags , ammo, ect, not to much crap, that's what I am trying to get away from, just what your need to shoot a major match. Please post pictures of what you think will work or what what your using. Thanks

I haven't actually bought on yet but I have been seriously considering some of the camera backpacks. Here is the best selection I have found: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Backpacks-Daypacks/ci/176/N/4075788794 The only thing holding me back is that I don't know how tough they will be in the long run. All the customizable compartments would be nice though.

The safe bet would be a CED/ DAA rangepack. They seem to get good reviews and they have a new smaller one.

I did run across that one while looking, don't know if I like that hollow compartment in the bottom ??? Besides it looks just like my buddy's new small DAA ??? I really want to get away from lugging all the extra stuff around that you really never need, I guess my biggest thing is a place to put mags ammo for a major match and a few places to put a few other thing glasses, hearing protection, a towel or two, a few snacks, ect just what you need foe a major match, all the extra stuff is left in the truck, most matches you are close enough to go to it for that one in a life time part you need now.......lol

Hello: I am still thinking of a messenger bag from Maxpedition. You can add stuff with the velcro insides to suit you. Right now I still like my Shooters Connection Ultra bag and pro bag for bigger matches. I wish Chuck would design a backpack and a smaller range bag about the size of the Dillon ammo bag. The Shooters Connection inner bag is great for steel matches and stage bag. The backpacks I have seen are just not that user friendly for me. Thanks, Eric

Maxpedition falcon 2 is what I have been using for 2 years now.

Added a dump pouch to hold my water.

If that's not to your liking take a look at the ishot pack.

PS: if you want a Typhoon let me know, getting ready to sell one.

I got the I-Shot, been using it for about a year. Just the right size, ammo compartment is on the bottom and will hold about 400 rounds. Plenty of room for all your gear. Only thing I would add would be wayer bottle holder on the outside.

Bingo !!!!!!! That's what I was looking for, and yes it needs a place to hook a water bottle to , maybe some molle webbing to hook some stuff to , like brass bag, now just need to find where to buy one, looks like there out of stock ????

If you want a small pack, have a look at the Camelbak MULE. More than enough room for everything plus it has a large water bladder. If you need more room than that, then have a look at the Camelbak HAWG.

Both of these are part of their mil-spec line and are extremely well made and durable.

I used a Falcon II with a Tuff Products mag pouch that holds 5 double stack mags and attaches with MOLLE fasteners. It worked great for Open.

I'm using a CED backback now for Production since it has room for 7 mags. I'm selling the Falcon II.

I use a 5.11 Rush 24 pack. It's not perfect, but it is large enough for the local USPSA matches I do, as well as my local Steel league. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect bag as well...

LA Police gear 3 day pack. $30

This, of course it is not expensive enough for some guys. I use it alone for USPA, Steel, & NRA Action Pistol and set it on top of a milk crate on my cart for 3-Gun.

I have the bail out bag and the jumbo, 3 day pack. And buying the operator pack. Also the pistol cases are awesome! Quality is better than all the others out there and price can't be beat!

Saw this one at the SHOT Show. Very nice quality pack.

I got the handgun version doesn't have the pistol bags and the gun compartment is front opening like the DAA pack

http://www.goutdoorsproducts.com/products/the-handgunner-backpack/

Is the compartment that houses the foam pistol craddle hard sided? Would/will the bag stay erect with the foam removed and weight loaded in the compartments above?
