COF Range Bags

I was a bit harsh on the review of a range bag I returned recently. This time, I'm going the opposite direction and I have to say the Vertx COF Light Range Bag is an outstanding bag. One thing to note, the bag is on the smaller side. It's ideal for bringing a couple pistols, ammo, ear pro, etc., for a morning at the range. If you're going to pack for the day with multiple guns and calibers, you're better off going with the heavy bag. My first impression was it was a nice-looking bag. I like the fact that it doesn't look like a range bag. It does have velcro on the outside to throw patches on, but if you want to look like you're heading to the Ukraine to fight the Russians, this isn't the bag for you. It's discrete like a lot of Vertx stuff. The bag is well built and well designed. The zippers and strap are nicce and it doesn't have 400 pockets like some other bags, but everything has a purpose. I like the fact that the interior is lightly colored, so things are easy to find. The magazine pouch is great as well. I can pull it out and keep it up on the bench/countertop with me. The ammo compartment is cool. While it does limit the space in the main compartment above, I usually only bring a box or two of extra ammo with me, so there is plenty of room to store extra stuff. It also gives the main compartment a solid bottom. The CCW compartment had plenty of room to store two pistols. I highly recommend this bag, but if you like to pack a lot of stuff, go with the heavy bag.

There is no such thing as the perfect range bag, but the Vertx COF comes close. A smaller sized bag that is perfect carrying one maybe two handguns. In the upper compartment there is a sleeve area for a large handgun and ample space to carry ear muffs, shooting glasses, gloves, loader ETC. There is also a zippered compartment for small items. On the side there is a large zippered opening for ammo storage, a magazine sleeve and it has a removable tray with a mesh bag if you’re collecting brass. This is also another zippered compartment for pencils and/or small parts.On either end of the bag there are two small zippered compartments for small tools, lubricants, ETC. Around the frame of the bag there is a heavy duty cable that maintains the bags shape and can be used to secure the bag. On the outside of the bag there are two large Velcro strips for name tags, ETC. The material the bag is made from is very robust and after weeks of use I see no signs of weakness in either the design or materials. I really like this bag!!

Have both sizes, excellent quality, and versatile.

This bag is fantastic in every way I can think of as a Officer, firearms instructor, and firearms enthusiast. The trays included for ammo are perfect, you can also pull a mesh style bag out of the tray to get debris out if or just easily carry some extra rounds down range. the trays are sturdy as well as the upper compartment and I do not have to worry about it collapsing or falling through. Bonus mag pouch was included and is excellent. I typically carry a bunch of stuff with me on the range and this bag is not overly big but big enough and laid out well enough to hold what I need. Great range bags are hard to find so do not hesitate to buy this one.

The large version is nearly perfect durable range/training bag. Wrote this review after more than 3 years of abuse competitively shooting, over a dozen professional courses some in the rain, snow, summer heat and carried variety of equipment with thousands of rounds later it’s been a tank. Handles are incredibly convenient for times I stuff it full of freedom seeds. No rips, no tears, no holes, zippers are still perfect and other then minimal bottom wear its is basically the same as the day I bought it. If the outside had easy to access compartments/pouches that I can put stuff that I access constantly (IDs/Paperwork, Sunscreen etc) and the front panel accommodated a little more space between the inside and the panel so I can close it up properly for utilizing the looped panel for their pouches it would be 5 stars. It is a hassle to always need to undo the handle to get inside and I don’t use the looped panel because of the space issue which is a shame.

Love the bullet drawers, absolutely best part about it. It makes the top just shallow enough for my 3-4 sets of electronic ears, shot timer, blue gun, mags, and some random things. Not too deep where you have to dig to find stuff. The mag carrier is legit. It’s tough because I have some weight in there for sure. Everyone loves it at the range and during classes. Especially since we don’t handle guns behind the line, we can take the two bullet drawers and place guns in them and move them around. Don’t hesitate if you need a good sized range bag. It’s not huge but it fits a lot of stuff and it’s organized. Fits in the back seat of my 2020 f150 with two car seats still in the back.

I was shopping for a range bag that was compact, but could competently carry two 9mm pistols, ammo, accessories, and keep my glasses and ears from getting crushed. I came across the COF Light and initially the price turned me off but as an Amazon Prime member I could simply return it for free if I didn't like it. When I opened the package I really liked the size, look, the feel of the material, and the design was exactly what I was looking for. The top compartment is separated from the bottom by had plastic so I can load the bottom with ammo and not worry about it causing my glasses and ears. It actually has more space than I need, but its size is still great and compact for easy carry. The styling looks like any business or travel bag, no loud stickers or wording that scream gun bag LOL It does have a velcro strip on the front for badges etc, I haven't added any. If your in the market for a high quality compact range bag, give this one a try.

Love the quality and materials. The ammo caddie is a game changer for me. Only thing to note is it’s best for carrying what you’ll need for a light range day and MAYBE a gun or two if you don’t use the magazine holder. I have sorta loved using the holder for all the mags I bring to the range, so for me I can’t fit any guns in the bag, but it’s not why I got it. It holds everything I bought it to hold and I look forward to getting the larger one in the future.
