Do some research. The HK Pro Shooter Range bag is made by Eagle Industry. Not some flimsy crap like the Glock bag. I have put close to 30lbs of ammo in my smaller "HK" range bag and she isn't bothered by it in the least bit.
Eagle Industry and Tactical Tailor are both great brands if you don't want the "HK" on it.
The bag I've seen is the same one and can be had with Glock's name on it as well; same as all the others. I've also seen a bag name on it that looks a lot like the one TXSUT posted but maybe smaller and without the pouches on the ends. Maybe that's the one you're talking about. I've seen that one with a couple different names on it.
The only complaint I've ever heard or had about the bag (the large Midway branded as I have) is that sometimes you just don't need a bag that big. It'll carry 100lbs if you want to do that, but it's so big, carrying 25 lb's is a chore. Brass bag, ammo carrier that will carry more ammo than I've ever thought of carrying to the range, plenty of space to secure eye and ear protection and other things, 2 gun rug/pouches etc. etc. on the inside.
A single product sold under 100 different brands at prices based on the "brand" isn't a new concept.
What's with all the defensiveness lately? Geesh....
Another vote for the Midway USA bag; large one that is! The large one with 3 pistols, 3 holsters, 14 mags, 2 boxes each of .45 and 9mm, cleaning stuff, a few tools, Shoot-n-c targets, stapler, staples, and stuff I can't remember putting in there. Still room for more. Got the smaller one (should have gotten another large one) just for the Buckmark and all the necessary stuff for shooting it and the 10/22. The large bag has a removable ammo bag in the center and carry it loaded with more ammo most range days. Can you tell I love the Midway bags?
I don't know which Midway bag your talking about, but it's nothing close to flimsy. Unless you're comparing it to a wooden box. Loaded or not, it's shape doesn't change.
And yes, the ones I'm referring to, are the same bags. Including the $120 bag a RO bought before looking through mine.
I got this one free when I bought my wifes SW 637. I beleive they have since discontinued that give-a-way. I've been very pleased with it, and think it's well worth the $35~ price tag. Of course if you're not a SW guy, the logo might not be to your liking.

That bag is quite similar to the midwayUSA bag listed earlier in the thread and is more than twice the price. As a matter of fact it appears almost identical. I have the midwayUSA bag and like it a lot. It is quite heavy duty and has more pockets than I probably need, but I use them anyway.
Something to keep in mind is most range bags are made by only a few companies but marketed by many with different names/markings added on. There might even be a source cheaper than midwayUSA for the same bag.

I just use an old duffel bag that I had laying around. It dose anything I ask it to. I've had it full of ammo and no problems. It may not work for someone else, but I only have one pistol the rest are long guns so it works well for me. I think I spent $10 on it.
