Wanted to love it, I bought two
I really wanted to love this case because the design seemed perfect and the price was almost too good to be true. I actually picked one up in tan, and also one in grey. Man, did they disappoint.The cases start out looking good-- especially from the outside. The material is of good quality, the zippers appear sturdy, they are light, and the size is large-enough to carry a full-size combat handgun. The mag retention straps inside inside are also good. Being able to stretch, I found that they could accommodate Glock small mags (9mm, .40, etc) and also Glock large mags (10mm, .45, etc).But once you load the cases up with a gun and some loaded mags, they become frumpy and lump up like an obese cat. They no longer retain their slim shape or profile. Think more of like a mini duffel bag with some odd-shaped weights in it, rather than a a professional day planner or attache case.The interior design would have been far better off committing one side to mags (and having the mag retention straps sewn into the side of the bag rather than a flimsy middle divider without structure or stiffness at all) and the other side to a single handgun. By trying to accommodate two handguns, the whole bag fails. It's not simply a matter of putting one gun in instead of two. Because they have all the mags attach to a limp noodle of a divider in the middle, the bag just has no support. The top rear portion of your slide sticks up above the sagging middle divider (where all the mags are attached) and actually starts clanking around against the rear floor plate or top of your mags (depending on how you've oriented them).Hopefully this all makes sense. I can appreciate a lot of people seem to love these bags. Probably for the price. But there's no way I'm going to bang up my trusted handguns to save five or ten dollars. I'm buying a better case.

Best value, holds 6 mags, easy to carry
This is the 2nd one I have purchased. I use it to transport my Sig P229 to and from my vehicle every time I leave. I wanted something easy to carry that held plenty of magazines. This one holds 6 mags plus the pistol. The pistol is divided from the mags by a soft nylon partition so no worries about your pistol getting scratched up by the mags. This is an easy way to have your pistol stored with extra mags and ready to grab and go which is why I bought a 2nd one. I have not found another one comparable to this one at this price. 5 stars!

Very nice case except........
Not a horrible case for the money.The good:- plenty of compartments and mag holders- quality material- quality zippers- nice sizeThe bad:- my only real complaint is that there are no hold downs for the pistols. I would be a perfect case if there were simply a few velcro straps sewn in to hold you hand guns in place.

4.5 stars
I purchased it about 1/2 year ago.Easy fits 2 5 in barrel guns and 6 mags.Instead of 2nd gun, you could fit 1-2 boxes of ammo (50/each).Doesn't scream "I have guns here" - I like it.Only suggestion - put something like velcro to keep guns on both sides at bay - its why I'd take 1/2 star off.Still - will buy it again.

Looks to be well though out and well built
I purchased this to throw my handguns in to put in my range bag when I go for a day of shooting. I don't have a long term review yet, but my initial reaction is to be impressed. The case seems well built and sturdy at the seems. The case is well thought out with plenty of pockets and magazine holders. So far, so great!

A Great Little Case
This is a great case for me. I have one handgun and a few magazines so there is more than enough room. Well built and not real flashy. This case was delivered in a timely manner. This is a pretty low profile case that doesn't look all that much like a gun case at all. Unless you throw your gear around a lot this case should last a long time. Heck, this one might last a long time even if you beat it up!

Get it if you need something that's a good value.
I'm surprised at the quality of it. It's better than I thought. This is an inexpensive case and everyone needs to keep that in mind. Don't expect anything great. There is just enough padding inside but plenty of room for two 1911's and clips. I've been using it for a few months and is holding up well. The front pocket has no use to me but it's there if you want it. I'd say get this case if you want the most bang for your buck.
