I need a range bag

[n00b]

I should soon have a Pistol of my very own and I'd like to get a range bag to hold all my goodies. My question is two fold: 1. What types of bags do you suggest 2. Is there anything missing from my bag?

My Gun
Few extra Mags (3-4)
Speed loader for the mags
ammo 300 rounds or so
Ears (Muffs and Plugs)
Eyes

What else?
What type of bag will fit all this and leave me room to grow?

Thx

First Aid kit

Cleaning and maintenance supplies

Those are two things I can think of off the top of my head.

Kmart, cheap good stuff. Look for camera bags.

I use a plain old canvas husky tool bag from home depot. It has inner and outer zippered pockets and plenty of room. You'll find that you will probably need a lot more than that in your bag, depending on what and where you shoot. I keep a couple large ziplocks (for brass), zip ties, a small staple gun and staples (for attaching targets), a leatherman, and a lot more odds and ends in addition to the main items you listed above. If you search around you will find a lot of posts on this subject - some people bring everything but the kitchen sink to the range.

Midway has their large range bag on sale (olive drab only). It's a big bag that holds a ton!

Great Ideas, but a little overkill IMHO

Still a good starting place.

Stapler and staples, paper clips ( the big spring type)
+1 on the cleaning supplies, especially a rod for FTE
lube
extra eyes and ears ( 2 is 1 1 is none)
tape (to cover holes and reuse target)
pen or pencil and pad ( mark targets for future reference) or take notes about whatever

I was thinking of pointing you here also, but then I thought, baby steps.

When you take 30 plus guns to the range, and some more that your working on its never enough.

BTW, all of that fits in 2 bags.

YMMV

Definitely get a bag larger than you think you need, one gun will become more.

You might want to add a pair of pliers and a multi-use screw driver. If you don't keep tools in your car/truck.

I use Walmart's Winchester range bag which stores 2 guns and enough space for your other stuffs and a plastic file crate for others stuffs like ammo, targets, stapler, etc.
