 My Midway bag has held up well over the last few years...I load it up heavy and no issues. I like the design and allows me to carry the stuff I want. |

The Hafner Pro Shooters bag was the best I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I believe they went out of business a few years ago. I still have one of their bags that I’m still using that is over 25 years old.

I have these big ass wooden crates. Heavy as fuck when loaded with 6 rifles, plus mags and ammo. It was a lot easier when I had my kids to help me lug that stuff around. It's not that these crates were the end all be all of long arm transport, but I did have some Tier One guys helping me carry them about. Damn, I miss these kids.

What does your range day consist of? I run a tactical tailor competition bag. Have my markers staple gun linesman pliers stickers mags and such in there. Match ammo that gets carried in small quantities go in the bag ammo cans... Well those go in the truck.

I have 3 5.11 range bags. 2 small bags and 1 large one..
Large one used for rifles mostly. Small one used for pistols for quarterly qualifying. Other small one holds all of girl friends gun stuff(cleaning kit,Maglula loader,gloves and Glock mags ) They hold everything you can carry and are good quality. |

Any idea how their ordering system works? https://www.emdomusa.com/Emdom-MM-TNT-Extended-Mission-Bag-p/eu135.htm?1=1&CartID=1 The link you included is the exact bag I use and the quality is definitely high end. I originally bought it to use as a diaper bag fully intending that it would eventually be used as a range bag. My little guy is 8 now, and the bag still looks pretty much brand new. I probably have 6-7 of their products and they're my first stop when I'm in search of buy once, cry once nylon. Lastly, on the off chance that you're unhappy with it for some reason, they hold their value like crazy on the secondary market and it would move fast! |

I ended up ordering the extended mission bag and you are right, at that price point, I would have liked for it to be made here in the USA. 6 - 8 week lead time on fulfillment, so if anyone is looking to buy, I recommend jumping in soon as you will have a wait. In the meantime, I ordered the Vertx range bag to hold me over until the Emdom bag arrives later this summer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I hate black range bags, it’s impossible to find small items inside them when you need them. Fair point. I like black bags and cases since I live in a suburban area and they don't scream tactical. They also are almost unnoticeable in the back of my hardtop jeep. No trunk, but factory-tinted windows, so it all just looks dark when they are in there. But yeah, finding small things, that's a downside. |

I use the big Midway range bag and am very happy with it. Quality zippers plus velcro on the top "flap". I carry everything from tools, ear pro, spotting scope, cleaning rods, oil, grease, basically anything I might need at the range. I carry my guns and ammo seperately so I can tailor that for each range trip. But the big Midway bag goes every time and the contents never change.
 My wife wanted one of these GPS bags for Christmas. She carries everything she needs for a range trip in it. She's in the local "Well Armed Woman" group and a couple of those ladies have bought the same bag.

The 5.11 range ready bag is probably one of my biggest gear related disappointments ever. No rifle magazines pouches or bands, no compartment pouches or dividing. Just a big, bulky open bag with a bunch of pistol mag slots.
My Orca Tactical range bag is much nicer. Just wish they make a larger one. |
