How to Pack a Range Bag — The Overpass Loadout

A good range day starts before you ever leave the house. How you pack your range bag determines how smooth everything runs once you're on the line — and how fast you can get back home when you're done. Here's how we do it at Overpass.

The Loadout

For this setup we're running a Zev OZ9 with a TXC holster, Opscore Amps for ear pro, 3M in-ears as a backup, Magpul Glock mags, and a full set of Overpass accessories to keep everything organized. Here's how it all breaks down.

Start with your bag system

The foundation of this loadout is the Rest Stop Range Bag — our everyday range bag built for pistol shooters who want clean, organized carry without the bulk. It handles the main kit: pistol, mags, and support gear. The Pothole Ammo Bagclips alongside it for dedicated ammo carry, keeping your rounds separate and your main bag from getting weighed down.

Organize the interior

The Rest Stop opens wide, giving you clean access to everything inside. We use the Expressway GP Small inside the main compartment to keep the OZ9 and TXC holster contained and easy to grab. The GP pouches are the unsung heroes of any range bag setup — small, flat, and built to drop into any pocket or compartment to keep your kit from turning into a pile.

Keep your pistol accessible

The OZ9 rides in the main compartment in the holster, mags in a dedicated pouch on the side. When you're at the line you want one motion — open, grab, go. Digging through a disorganized bag at the bench wastes time and breaks focus.

Pack your ear and eye pro last, grab them first

Opscore Amps go in the top pocket — first in, last out. The 3M in-ears live in an Expressway GP pouch clipped inside the bag. Eye pro in its own case next to them. Non-negotiable items get dedicated spots so you never reach the range without them.

The compact loadout

For a tighter setup the I-35 Sub Bag paired with Expressway GP pouches gives you a compact single-bag system for shorter sessions or when you're just running a subgun or PCC.

The system

The whole Overpass lineup is built to work together — range bag, ammo bag, GP pouches, totes. Every piece has a job, nothing doubles up, and everything packs back the same way every time. That's the point.
