CondorDeployment Bag

This is not a deployment bag. It is not large enough. It is also not large enough to be a drill bag. This bag is about the size of a hygiene kit bag, however the additional pockets and carrying options make it more versatile.For the range or the field; This bag is large enough to hold most things that would fit in your ocp cargo pockets. It is large enough to fit your range ppe, your portable chargers, your headphones, your Excedrin migraine, your tobacco etc. It can hold maybe 1 or 2 energy drinks and a few snacks, maybe an mre, but it won't fit your ungodly supply of bangs; and after you shove all your snacks in it there wont be much space for other stuff.If you try to replace your backpack with it you'd be pushing it. It is best used in conjunction with a larger bag or a cooler that's sitting in some vehicle. It can be easily clipped onto or fit inside a larger bag or backpack.It is useful as a gym bag or pt bag as a means of holding your wallet, phone, keys, locks, etc but you won't fit a change of cloths in it. Your Nalgene can be clipped onto it fairly easily.Material and quality is consistent with what you'd expect from condor, so good for the price range, but if you actually need something better than you're high speed enough to know what it is you do need.It has webbing but attaching it to a vest or a backpack will feel awkward.Tl;Dr; Not a deployment/overnight bag.

On unbagging the product I was shocked at the metal hardware. This is not what I expected at this price point, the next thing I noticed was how heavy the material was, much heavier than it looked online and online and it looked much heavier than other bags in this price range.The zippers; Very heavy for this sized bag. Self covering, not sure if they're water proof, but resistant anyway, good sized pulls with decent cord.Straps; As mentioned the rings, adjusting buckle and clips for the shoulder strap are metal. The side strap (for a cleaning mat I guess) has very heavy side release buckles, all the strapping has generous over stitching.Layout; Zippered main compartment with webbed side sleeve (my pistol slid in there). Two zippered end pockets. Zippered side pocket with elastic divided pockets. Outer cinch strap that can be used to lash something to the side. Two very heavy snap straps (for attaching to a larger piece of gear or belt). It also has loops all over.Size; My Sig, 100 rounds, shooting glasses,ear protection and Otis cleaning kit all fit inside. I haven't touched the end pockets yet. This is a small bag as range bags go. It's for one gun trips. If you regularly take more than one gun to the range or shoot a large frame (1911, large cal revolver) this isn't the bag for you.Summery; I'm enamored with this bag. I travel a lot and might get a second one for all my cords, chargers, toiletries and crap I know I'll take on every trip then just toss it into the three day, one week or three week bag. Knowing it's all there.The quality of the hardware and material was beyond what I expected. The size was what I expected from the photos. I've had a lot of gear bags in my day, from my first camera bag in '83 to the piece of luggage I bought last month. I'm very picky, and quality for dollar is my biggest concern. I never spend more than I have to, but I try to never sacrifice quality. I must have looked at 50 bags on Amazon and kept coming back to this one. Condor calls it a "small" if they made a medium I'd buy one tomorrow, but for the life of me can't find it.Based on this I'd guess a medium would hold two pistols and that would be perfect. At the price I got it at I could even see getting two and connecting them with the molli straps. Hey. That's a great idea. I'm doing it!Look for that update soon.UPDATE 2The bags will in fact "mollie" together if you have the free strap version.Further after almost a year of range use it's a great range bag.My CZ75 as well as my SIG .22 fit great, as well as shooting glasses, cleaning supplies, magazines and LULA. I carry ammo in another identical bag since I like to keep that ready to go with ammo while the guns are locked up. I can fit about 200 rounds of 9mm (in 50 round boxes) as well as a few hundred rounds of .22. Perfect for a few hours at the range.UPDATE:I ordered two more of these bags, interesting. Same quality, however the new ones have attached MOLLE straps, the earlier one had separate straps. But here is what I did: I attached the newer bag to the older one through it's MOLLE straps. I have my pistols and ammo in one, ear/eye protection, cleaning kit etc in the other. The weight difference means I can carry it easily with the pistol bag's handle. Awesome! Now the third? It's my tech travel bag. It's got all my "stuff" for traveling. This will give you a sense of what this "little" bag will hold.End pocket #1: Router power supply, razor charger, USB wall charger.End pocket #2: Leatherman, Swiss Army Knife, hemostats, lighter.Main pocket: Laptop locking cable, Laptop charger (The big Dell Latitude one!)Wireless router, safety glasses, spare phone, hard shell case for main phone, spare AA and AAA batteries, ear buds in case, AUX cable.Pocket #3 Pens, USB extension, 2 USB/micro USB cables, LAN cable, bluetooth ear piece, USB car charger, 220 VAC voltage adapter.Really? Yes..

These reviews and photos are generally useless without proper reference. It's impossible to tell from some of these reviews; some people say it's too small, some people say it's got a lot of space, and you can't tell who to believe without ACTUAL NUMBERS OR REFERENCE OBJECT.I made an inner Kydex liner to make the main compartment crush resistant. Roughly, the inner dimension for that came out to 8.25" x 2.5" x 5.5".For the side pockets, I'm currently using them to store some batteries which are about 4.7" x 2.6" x 1.5" and that's an easy fit. They're actually big enough to fit a 12oz soda can each.There are 5 loops of PALS webbing on the back (so you will want to match it with odd-numbered matching accessories), arranged in 2-rows, blank, and another 2 rows. It comes with 2 completely removable PALS ties/straps.Overall quality is pretty good; the Nylon is thick. The stitching is so-so; should be fine. I don't think this will be particularly water resistant though as I can see daylight through some of the spots in the stitching.Unzippered inner mesh divider in the main compartment, and another unzippered divider in the front compartment.Shoulder straps have metal clips and are... serviceable. Nothing outstanding.I would have preferred double-zippers so you can secure the openings better by braiding the cord handles. Also would have preferred an even number of loops on the PALS webbing so it centers properly when mounted to something which also has an even number of loops.I'll be using this attached to a backpack most of the time, and it's nice to have the option of removing it and using it standalone.
