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.This is a great range bag for one or two pistols. The zippers are the only thing holding it back from 5 stars. The holes in the zippers can only fit a very small luggage lock. I had to enlarge them by attaching key rings and soldering them closed, allowing any lock to fit. Most frustratingly, the pull cords on the zippers constantly detach as the zippers have a large opening which allows them to fall right out when unzipping. This is otherwise a great range bag. Removing the ammo caddy gives plenty of room for an electronic headset and eye protection while compartments easily hold small tools, first aid, and other accessories. It's also very easy to cable lock the bag to your vehicle.7/14/22I've been eyeing on this bag for awhile now and happy that I got it! First of all, I didn't think it was going to be that big which it's a good thing. This will most likely be my last range bag that I will get because I am very satisfy with it. Unless Vertx comes out with a newer one. I love the storage capacity. Their is so much room!! Also, love the design.Will be back with more updates.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!!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.Quality bag, mine arrived missing the 6 magazine pouch.The quality of the COF Heavy Range Bag was great, as advertised. It’s just that the internal compartments were smaller than I expected. Being separated into top and bottom compartments sounds great in theory, but it results in each compartment being just a bit too small for me. The top compartment isn’t very deep and the two “baskets” on the bottom aren’t deep enough to hold anything other than a few boxes of ammo and the bags for brass collection aren’t very tall. The included magazine sleeve is very nice, though. I think this bag would be great for someone who has a handgun that they take to the range every once in a while. Wouldn’t recommend for those who take multiple pistols to the range regularly. Just not quite enough room for everything for a long day at the range (ear and eye pro, a few hundred rounds of ammo for multiple guns, IFAK, etc.) You COULD make those things fit, I suppose, but for the price, I’ll just go with a bag that has a deeper, open compartment that I can adjust to fit my needs.Lots of space and can modify it lots of ways highly recommended
