I am looking for a reasonably priced covert carry bag for my AR9.  Total length collapsed is under 28 in.  I do not want a tennis racquet bag because they do not open enough and there is too much slop unless I add a piece of foam. Also, it should allow for quick access.  A full-length zipper is preferable over a zipper just opens the bag partially.  All in all, it should not look like a gun bag.  I spent the better part of the day yesterday looking at for this and just cannot find one that suits my needs.  I know there are people in here with way more knowledge on this subject and wanted to tap into that knowledge.

A regular backpack, sits in the laptop pocket, works for me.

Look for a bag that is used by baseball players  to carry their bats.

Someone gifted me a LaRue Covert Rifle Case  years go.  I use it to transport one of my SBRs, Can and a few mags.

Also have another case,about the same length. I think a Condor (supposedly cheapy brand) that I got on a steal at a fun show years ago.
While about the same length its a bit thicker, has a center divider in it, plus an external pouch that's good for mags or a few pistols.
I put my AR9 in one side and a Scorpion Evo in the other side, Can and mags in the outside pouch.  I've had it for seems like 10+ years, lots of use, no issues.

I second the above post. Larue's is very nice.

A regular backpack, sports, or instument case will work. Don't buy into the "tactical covert" bs you are paying a heavy markup and it stands out like a sore thumb.

Savior has some "covert" bags/cases/packs. I have a few of their larger cases and the quality has been good for the money.

Yep. No one looks twice at a backpack.

Alternatively, use a hiking daypack with the piece in the hydration pocket.

Soft sided, baritone ukulele case.  Pretty affordable on Amazon, padded and actually fits the shape of an AR15 pretty closely.  I've used it for everything from a 10.5" pistol under 26" and a 16" carbine with the stock fully collapsed.  Works great for both.

Don't know why I didn't think of this.  Ordered on off of Amazon.  30" case will be perfect.  Thanks.

Tactical Theology's discreet rifle bag.  Not our product but we tested them and provided user input.  Some have said it looks like a tent pole bag lol, that's a good thing because it doesn't look like a gun case.

Folding camp chair bag can work in a pinch too.

I had a Grey Ghost Apparition bag.  Didn't look like a gun case at all.  Worth a look, although they're expensive

Reminds me of the violin cases and roving salesmen cases being used in gangster films.

i AGREE. Ukulele cases are a pretty good choice and they are all over Amazon and Ebay.

While I like and use the Savoir bags, they all look like gun bags. The bags that look like folding chair bags are the most 'discreet' I've used.

Your neighbors know you don't play an instrument so there's that.
