    Backpack with lots of pockets and straps + four handgun "slots" on the bottom front pouch.

    Looks just about identical to the NRA range bag I have. Probably made by the same company.

    I like it, but there's not a lot of internal storage space.

    Interesting concept, but I don't quite see the point. You won't be able to draw from the backpack while wearing it, making the pistol storage design somewhat useless. Pistol rugs seem to be an easier way to transport several handguns at the same time, which would allow for more storage for other things...

    It's a range bag by design, not a BOB. That's why it's not easy to draw from.

    It handles what is needed for a range trip pretty well, plenty of room for mags and easy to keep them accessible, ear pro, staple gun, targets, etc. But wouldn't be my choice for bugging out or even a GHB. Or any other super secret tactical squirrel ops.

    It's good at what it was made for, and pisses of liberals by looking like a backpack.

    So it pretty much functions exactly like the range bag I have now. I still don't see it being anything special. My range bag will easily hold four pistols and all the ammo, gear, etc. I need.

    Also, given that it looks like any other back pack, I don't see how it would piss off liberals. If anything, to do that you'd want a range bag that looks like a range bag! :D

    Still, I do kinda like it; and the price is decent! Wouldn't say I'd pass on one if they ever went on sale...

    I would like to see a pic of the shoulder straps though. Based on the design of the rest of the bag, I doubt they'd be anything but sturdy; but I still would like to know for sure before ordering!

    Lots of wasted space for a bugout bag. If I'm bugging out, I'd only want/need mags/ammo in my backpack. Pistol will be on my hip. Gotta leave room for the other essentials.

    yup, just a different style of range bag.

    I'll try to get a few pics of mine this evening, although it's probably not the exact same bag.
