I just received the Midway range bag (which was on sale for $39.99, by the way). My first impression is... wow.
It looks/feels durable and well made. Most importantly, it's also well thought through. There's a big side pocket for a large handgun, 3 side pockets for regular handguns. All of them are padded, of course. Then there're the two padded handgun inserts for the main storage compartment it came with (and I ordered two more, not sure I should have, we'll see. I didn't realize it already came with two of those inserts).
Now, the main storage compartment has two pockets for the handgun inserts, and another insert for ammo/mags/whatever else you want. That insert can also be used as a portable ammo carrier (it's a true insert, in the sense that it can be removed from the range bag), and it has that nice pouch with mesh bottom for collecting brass. It also has a couple of dividers.
There're many mag loops in both the side pockets and the detachable ammo carrier.
There're two more side pockets, one zipped for various odds and ends, and one open and with a drain, for a water bottle.
The carry stripe is wide and well padded, with large steel carabiners. All side pockets are double-zipped, so one can put a lock on them.
The only thing that I find lacking is the similar double zipper for the main compartment (since the handgun inserts don't have it, either, so they can't be locked). It would help here in CA, and in other states with similar crappy laws. I'll see if it can be locked by running the lock through the zipper and the sling loop, hopefully it's doable.
Overall, this is a great bag.
