Usually one can shop Amazon or Brownells, et al. and find what you need pronto with PHOTOS in/out to affirm a good purchase, no returns.

Not so when shopping a range backpack!?!?!?
Can't find a replacement for my range bag, getting too heavy with ammo to lug to indoor range weekly.
Contents:
6x50 round handgun ammo
3 handguns, segregated, padded
eyes pocket
ears pocket
min. legal size paperwork pocket, doubles for extras like a barrel or junk that need another pocket
tools pocket

2 shoulder strap preferred

SOMEONE out there must have a treat made in heaven like this, willing to share their insider tip ....

For pistol, the DA bags are pretty good. Really depends on your specific requirements.

Look at camera backpacks.

I like the GPS Tactical Range Backpack. It seems to check all the boxes you mention. I got it from amazon.

I got this one from amazon.

Liked it so much I bought a second one. All the inside divisions are customizable (velcro dividers). You can even remove the upper/lower divider... I did that for one and can put PCCs in there.

$85 for black. $65 for poo brown.

This is a bag made by GPS for the Range. It’s heavy built like a Maxpedition bag, multiple dedicated compartments and will take a ton of abuse. They also make it in a “non-tactical” style. It’s well worth the asking price. PLEASE do yourself a favor and check it out before you purchase anything. I now own 2, one for my wife and 1 for me. They are wonderful for a fun day at the range, a sanctioned shoot, or EDC.

I've got that in the Maxpedition pack. It does hold a ton of gear and is comfortable.

In all honesty I believe Maxpedition makes the pack for GPS. If you don’t mind me asking, what model name is your Maxpedition? IMO Maxpedition is the best in what they do.

I like the LA Police Gear brand bags. They’re tough and go on sale pretty frequently. Much cheaper than the name brand stuff

Thanks for this I just can't get any interior photos to suggest it fits my needs as a replacement. Almost got lured into one until I realized they designed all that ammo (the only heavy objects) to sit ON TOP of the guns aligned in vertical hutches = squashed

This was the most tempting offer but WHERE goes all that heavy ammo? On top of guns? No photos to suggest an answer.

What's the Glock Talk fascination with backpacks for the range? I've been shooting on civilian ranges since the 80's and nobody carries a backpack. Some people carry some strange, improvised range bags, but never backpacks. Generally, they are more expensive and way less useful for the range, than a real shooting bag.

If you want a "tactical" color (in case you have to run and hide in the weeds during a range visit?) there are plenty. They even come with MOLLE webbing. But having a flat bag that will site on the ground or a table makes more sense.

 

[MajorD]

I like back pack style as well. If you have to stop for errands to or from the range easier to carry around and when you have 4 bags of groceries putting the backpack on leaves your hands free to do other stuff.
I try to stay low profile and simply use a couple of older “ non tactical” packs from EMS ( eastern mountain sports) north face etc, just dump my gear in.

Competitive Edge Dynamics has a good selection of both backpack and standard range bags. Allot of guys use the rolling backpack as well especially when running PCC.

A better solution for carrying targets than they suggest - if you get a backpack with molle is to get a large dump bag (Glock sales one if you want the logo https://store.teamglock.com/accessories/glock-large-drop-pouch.html) it's big enough for a large postal mailing tube to fit in then use a piece of Velcro to hold the top of the tube against the bag - you can carry a lot of targets protected and not rolled as tight.
