Perfect for taking one (?MAYBE? two)handgun(s) to the range. Good carry handles and D links for shoulder strap. Twin-gang-zippered top compartment opens the full LxW of main compartment. Top-zippered end compartments 6 x 6 good for notepads, handi wipes. Three sided-zipper side compartments 11.5 x 7h x 1d. have 6 mag pouches on one side, and two flat mesh pouches 5x5 on the other. Both lids fold down flat for a padded work surface when opened. Main compartment 12L x 7.5w x 8h holds Ammo bag OR ears, eyes, & hat. Ammo bag has good carry handles and D links for shoulder strap. 11.5 x 4.5 x 7h will hold more ammo than you probably want to carry very far. Has two top-zippered pouches on inner sides 10 x 7h. Good shoulder strap with sewn-on pad attaches to either main bag or ammo bag. Has a business card holder on one end, and four low profile feet on the bottom. Every surface of every compartment is padded !EXCEPT! for the bottoms of the fold-out side compartments (where you would place your gun). Leaving no protection for your pistol on the bottom! Easily solved with a thin piece of closed-cell foam, but it seems like a major oversight on an otherwise very well designed bag.
