Range Box or Storage

When it comes to doing something you really enjoy like target practice and hunting there is a lot of side things you need to think about. One of the important things that I found is proper storage for safety and useability. This may differ from the certain area in which you are living or traveling but here is a couple things I have found helpful so far. This will focus mostly on transporting and useability of the range bags and storage I have been using so far.

*First off, a firearm is only as dangerous as the person that is in control of it. Handling of a firearm at all times should be done with safety and concentration of ones self and surroundings. Please be safe. Brains before bullets.

In the leading up of gathering the proper supplies for my coming handguns I collected a travel case and cleaning case on more of an impulse rather than need but have found both more than useful. The gun cleaning kit I previously posted about was the Hoppe's Elite Gun Kit on the Go Cleaning Kit. Please go to that link for my original review. After using this kit I found that every piece of the kit is coming in handy in more ways than I originally planned. Like I said in the past the rod itself is mainly for smaller jobs and isn't suitable for heavy cleaning so I would suggest using it for range only. The gun cleaner and oil I have found is just as good if not better than original Hoppe's which I have been using forever and with the cleaner being a spray style head it makes it easier to use on the go. The final part that I have been using more and more is the case itself. It is a very handy small case that I have been using when I don't want to lug around a large case and with it having a lockable handle it has been a very useful small case.

While looking for a larger case I found the Sportlock Aluminumlock Series Double-Sided Pistol Case. This case having two opening sides with plenty of storage while being light weight made it a great buy. One side has foam on the bottom and top with a thick middle piece so you can fill both layers. The foam is the right thickness where you can use it for just one small pistol without it moving or you can pack 6 pistols safely. On the other side it has the foam top and bottom just like the other but has slots with dividers for storing ammo boxes or different things you might want while traveling. The dividers can also be taken out and you can place foam for more pistol storage. Both sides have 2 lockable latches on each side that keep it tight but not a great security feature as the holes for locks are very small and the latches could be broken off without much effort. While using this case to go shooting I normally carry 2 to 5 handguns on the padded side and the other is full of ammo and supplies. The supply side I found fits more than expected as I have packed it full of 4 50 round boxes of ammo, small ear protection, a bag for empty ammo shells, the entire contents of the Hoppe's Elite Gun Kit on the Go Cleaning Kit, cleaning rags, and various small tools. 

Both these items have proven to be more than useful and I would recommend for friends and buy again myself. They are starter kits and I will work my way up from here and keep you posted with my new additions. Thank you.
