Range bag and glove suggestions?

[MissiontoMars]

I'm a big fan of Husky bags from home depot. They are half the price of anything labeled "Range Bag" and hold just as much, if not more stuff.

Good idea, thx!

Hmm. I can't order tis online from them eh? I guess I will have to take a drive to Oakdale next time I am close.

For a dedicated “range backpack” the Maxpedition Ordnance pack is pretty awesome.

Another big +1 on GPS bags. I had the tactical for a while and decided I wanted something that carries a bit more so upgraded to The Executive. Both are great bags, very durable, and worth the money in my opinion. I'm very happy with both.

I use this bag when I am going for just handguns: https://www.amazon.com/5-11-Tactical.../dp/B01FRVQCTE

I use for mixed long guns and handguns, a FILBE ruck as I carry a cleaning kit, IFAK, tools, hearing protection and rest bags. I carry some of those with the handgun bag as well. The IFAK is because I only have public range access and some of the newbies are scary and the life it may save may be mine.

I was told that practicing with gloves, such as something you might use for SHTF is a good idea. But I do not have gloves dedicated to range time. I have been looking for gloves that have heat protection, my lever actions get very hot. I do not like those tactical gloves with the plastic knuckles or all the padding. And I have it difficult to find gloves of any kind that fit me properly.

As for gloves, nothing better than golf gloves.

golf gloves are great if you have sweaty hands i suppose
they would do very little to protect your hands from injury and should be considered useless for anything but the range on a hot day.

The Midway bag is the value play for range bags...and even more of a value if you can catch it on sale. The Midway bag is a knock off of the Shooters Connection Pro bag...which is built like an absolute tank. It's also a hell of a value at around $100 if you're a competition shooter and use your bag a lot.

For gloves, the standard Mechanix brand of gloves are excellent. The PIG Alpha gloves are also excellent but they're also about twice the price as the Mechanix gloves. If anyone tells you gloves are for sissies or tacticool, I would tell them to "bite you"...politely of course.

I prefer a leather vs synthetic glove, the syn feels slippery to me.

Since CA wants handguns locked for transport would throwing a lock on these bags work?

I don't have Range bag so no comments. I have tool box instead.

As for gloves, I use batting gloves because it fits me better, comfortable and light.

I also use batting gloves! Although I dont really wear them that often.

I too am looking at the GPS bag. As for gloves I have some Oakley si assault gloves. Have them from work, but use them to shoot. I've seen what a kaboom can do to your hands, I'd rather look tacticool then have cut up hands from a kaboom (granted that doesn't happen often, but just in case. Just like safety glasses, they look lame but when you need them you'll be glade you have them).

Like the look of the GPS back and bookmarked it but I don't usually carry that many handguns to the range; usually just 2.

I rarely put more than 2 pistols in my GPS bag, and the open slots are great for boxes of ammo, wallet, granola bars, etc.
