When ranking the best cases we take a look at a few details such as the zipper quality and durability, material, stitching, space allocation, longevity, and of course the overall quality of the cases construction. From multi gun cases to single weapon cases we have a soft pistol case for you. If you are looking for hard pistol cases, for airlines etc. check those out here.

Voodoo Tactical

Voodoo Tactical makes a plethora of products, and most of which are MOLLE or Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. MOLLE is the modern approach to creating modular load bearing equipment and is used by NATO. Us at NextGen have owned many Voodoo products and they have lasted the test of time, and we simply love their products. This VooDoo Tactical Pistol case can host 2 pistols side by side and 4 magazines on the outside. The quality is top-notch, the zipper is heavy duty and has never got stuck or frayed from throwing it around in the desert and countless occasions of abuse. The Voodoo soft shell pistol case is a great option if you want a quality product at a low cost. If you're thinking this is a great option but you only have one gun and don't need a double pistol case, go buy another gun. If you are hellbent on keeping just one pistol then Voodoo does offer this case in a single gun variant. Voodoo Tactical also offer many different colors for just about anyone, even you ladies. One last thing to note about the Voodoo variants for pistol cases are they don't offer much room for anything other than the guns and the mags, so if you need your bag to hold a few more items this case is not your best choice, so keep on reading!

Drago Gear Double Pistol Case

Slightly larger than the Voodoo tactical, the Drago case has almost the same dimensions except it is double in depth to about 4.5 inches. This soft case has a separate pouch to carry up to 5 magazines as well as any extra tools/parts you may need with you. Large enough to fit two full sized pistols comfortably, and has some extra space in middle of the bag. The Drago case is built with durable materials and has some padding on the outside to protect your pistols. The Drago case has a heavy duty zipper that doesn't get stuck on the material, which is usually the first thing that fails with cheap lo-quality soft cases. Being one of the best soft shell pistol cases you won't need to buy another soft case anytime soon, and just for 20 dollars you really can't beat it. Drago make quality gear and makes this case our first choice.

ProCase Tactical Pistol Case

ProCase is another great option, they make great functional products for everyday use. This pistol case can hold almost everything you want paired with your pistols. For our set up we can manage to fit 2 full sized handguns, a speed-loader, 5 double stack magazines, and a box or two of ammo. You would be hard pressed to add a a pair of ear muffs, unless they were on the smaller side. This pistol case boasts its ample space and modular design, with a good quality zipper (there is nothing worse than cheap zippers). This is a solid soft pistol case for anyone storing 1-2 pistols and wants the best bang for there buck.

Lynx Defense Pistol Bag

This next one is a special one, the Lynx Defense is a super high quality pistol bag that can house a maximum of four gun/magazine combination inserts (this equates to 4 pistols and 8 magazine slots) with plenty of room for ammo, eye and ear protection, as well as any tools you will need on the field for your guns. Lynx Defense pistol bag is made in the USA, as well as ALL the high quality materials used are made right here in the states. The Lynx pistol bag measures 13in in length, 10 width, and 8 in height and can fit most pistols, so if you have a S&W 500 this might not be the bag for you. The bag comes stock with 2 inserts that will house 4 mags and 2 pistols but you can always purchase more inserts (max 4 stated above). The best part about this bag is it comes with a built in detachable rollout gun mat, either for the range, cleaning your firearms, or even using it to shoot prone on. If what you want is a little more space than the pistol cases can offer then Lynx Defense is the best pistol/range bag on the market.

5.11 is a top tier company, and makes great products. The 5.11 Double Pistol case is a quality case, that comes in 3 colors (black, FDE & OD green) and offers the ability to secure two sidearms with a elastic band. The pistol case can hold up to 6 external mags and has zipper/storage space for small accessories, such as cleaning rods, patches or gunsmithing tools for the range. This soft case is made of good quality materials but is on the pricier side, and you may be able to find a similar product, but you can be sure 5.11 has built theres to last.

Uncle Mike's Pistol Rug
