Reddit reviews BlackHawk Pistol Range Bag SPORTSTER Bag Black Nylon 74RB02BK

• S&W M&P Shield 9mm - $380
  
• Beltman quickship black belt - $80
  
• Black Arch proto holster - $75
  
• Federal HST/Hornady Critical Defense - $25
  
• Eyes - $10
  
• Ears - $65
  
• More ears - $21
  
• Range bag - $30
  
  That puts you at around $750 depending whether you have to pay tax on the handgun, transfer fees, etc.
  
  The remaining $250 should be enough for an introduction to handgun safety class at your local range plus a bunch of cheap ammo to practice with.
  
  Edit: I forgot, don't forget to account for the cost of your CCW permit. Depending on where you live and what required classes you have to take that could easily consume your remaining $250.

blackhawk range bag has a sleeve on each side for a pistol, moveable compartment dividers, adequate space for equipment, well made, you can even lock the zippers with luggage padlocks to keep the weefolk out.

Thanks for the help.

[Secondary Ear Protection] (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001D8CRB8/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Incase my main ones fail, or I have a guest.

I can't remember where I got mine, but I have a cheap shit one, like this:

Works, but i need to get something bigger.

Don't really need to bring cleaning supplies to the range IMHO. I like the Howard Leighton electronic ear pro.

If you don't want electronic ones then any ear pro for shooting from 3m, peltor, and Howard Leight is a good call.


As far as a range bag goes, of its just the one gun then I would think too hard about it. Most range bags are overpriced tactical fashion accessories. I've spent money on nice ones for 2 and 3 gun competitions because the extra organization and protection is nice. When I'm taking just my Glock 19 to the range I chuck it in a tool bag.


If you really want a purpose built one that isn't too expensive I'd recommend this one:
