Looking for suggestions on an AR pistol bag or backpack for transporting an 11.5" AR pistol.

Came into a little unforeseen green and put together a BCM pistol lower, 11.5" pistol upper, SBA3 brace, Aimpoint H2, and American Defense mount.

Here's a pic of the gun.

Thanks in advance.

You're in FLA, just carry the "pistol".
It's for the truck or on my back.
BTW, that's a nice looking rig.
Thanks. I like it.
Also interested in suggestions...
Here's the Law's Tactical folding adapter:

Folded that would give you a 21.5 inch length.

Vertex Overland Gamut, or if you want to appear "modern and hip", their commuter sling, along with the level 3A insert.

An alternative low profile look is a gym bag:

Those are some nice bags, antelope sniper. But, I don't want to add the Law folder. I'm just not loving them.

Some very nice bags, though.

LD,

Without a folding adapter, even fully collapsed, your adding five and a half inches, which gets you up around a 30" bag length. This moves you out of the range of the "normal silhouette", and makes it more obvious there's something interesting in the bag. Now, being that you're in the South, that might not be as big a concern as it is for those of us in the purple states.

I have one of each, with and without the folder. I'll let you guess which one see more use.
Antelope Sniper, I've never been much of an AR guy but I do like the "very discreet" concept. I asked a local gunsmith about the folding AR stock option recently. He just said that the AR pistol with a brace was what he suggested.

I noticed that this is a 3rd generation adapter..... were there glitches with earlier versions?

Was also considering the Phlitz mandolin case, but they're out of stock everywhere. Everybody's taking up the mandolin these days. smile



As far as the Law Tactical goes. Didn't see the need for the extra weight or the extra $200+.
Tennis racket bag?

Available in bright colors, sports logo's etc. Pretty stealthy for some IMO. Nothing that even implies tactical or gun, unless you're an old, overweight, greybeard like me. Then the tennis thing might look suspicious.

Musical instrument cases might be stealthy, but get stolen probably more than guns.

2Wind,

I have the second gen and it works just fine. I think they are just continually innovating to improve their product.
Folded is the better way to go. I agree with ASniper for once.
That bag is way to long. Dead give away in my opinion.

Jahrs,
I'm not going to be sporting the bag around town. It will either be in the back seat of my truck or the back storage area. Nobody's going to see it coming out of my garage and into my truck. The only time anybody will see anything is if I pull the gun out of that bag.
Then the bag you are considering should work fine. I was thinking that you might at times be walking around with it on your back. If so, shorter would be a lot better imo. At 21” you could walk anywhere you want without a hint of what’s inside.

gunzo, I looked at those. But, there didn't seem to be much in the way of secondary storage.
the law folder has always interested me, I am guessing no one ever has a problem with function with these devices???

I have the Sneakybags Spyder covert as well as the 5.11 COVRT Shorty. I prefer the 5.11, but it's not made anymore but the Spyder is not a bad bag either.

The Sneaky Bags are nice, but I spent 1/4 of that on the UTG and I am not at all disappointed with the quality of the UTG.
Good luck with the UTG bag. They're only 4 miles from my house and have a rep for splitting seams.
