Review Of Drago Double Rifle Case
BY Herschel Smith

I had been looking for a while for a good range and field bag for more than one Carbine, and I’m very pleased with my new Drago double gun case.
It’s made of a heavy fabric with heavy duty zippers, and it seems to hold up very well. It has molle straps on the outside of the case for attachment of other gear. It has a good look and multiple pockets.
It’s outermost pocket is perfectly sized for the height of 30 round magazines, and it would carry many more than I have shown in this picture.
It has two inner compartments separated by padding, each with a pocket for the rifle ends and velcro straps for holddown. That’s an AR-15 with a 16″ barrel.
That’s an M1 Carbine.
This is a compartment between the case and the outermost magazine or tool pockets. It has multiple compartments as you can see.
This may be the best feature of the bag. The heavy duty backpack straps allow for hands-free carry in the field, and I especially like the large straps as opposed to the thin straps that typically come even with good backpacks. The shoulder straps puts most backpacks to shame.
There is one qualifier. It is a 36″ bag, so don’t expect to put longer barrel rifles in it. The bag is made for Carbines. It’s a bit pricey but overall I’m very pleased with it. Disclaimer. I haven’t received any gear or a single penny for this review.

That bag, I believe, is the bag made and distributed by Condor. I have several of them. They are available in lengths 36, 42 and 46 inches. Colors are (last I checked) black, OD green and Tan/FDE/Coyote. I bought mine a couple years ago for approximately $60 each.
The quality is superb. The zippers are the very heavy duty, MILSPEC style zippers. I have no complaints other than a two rifle bag not working for me. Reason being is weight. By the time one puts a single Personal Defense Weapon in the bag along with magazines and/or other items, the weight is substantial. So, instead of cramming two PDWs into the bag. Just buy two bags.
The Condor bag is available everywhere online. I got mine from USCAV.com Not the cheapest but they’re pretty quick and reliable with shipping. Their website is also easy to navigate and provides one with good info on product availability.
Here is a YouTube video review of the bag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXDUjF_7BGo
Thank you for the Captain’s Journal. I enjoy your efforts here.

Nice bag, I bought a bag from 1776 Tactical, but didn’t work for long guns. My father carried a M-1 Carbine in Vietnam, he never made friends with the M-16, he was a MACV advisor, that was their version of ETTs. How is the ammo situation in your AO these days??

@Jean – the M-1 was a classic, my father also carried one – but in the gulf.
@Dan III That’s a bargan at $60 thank you for the link!

Condors and Drago are two separate companies.
