Midway Range Bag Defect

[jd4320t]

This spring I purchased the large Midway range bag. I love this bag and I really can't complain. However, I've had two zipper pulls break. I know a broken zipper pull isn't anything too terrible but when they put them on a zipper without a tongue it really sucks when they break.

Has anyone else had this happen? I promise I'm not being rough on my zippers

Yes, take it to where you get your suits tailored or your dry cleaner.

Have them install an oversized YKK slider and pull tab.

I had concerns about the zipper after reading this same thing in several of the reviews of their bag. I bit the proverbial bullet and bought one anyhow. So far so good...but I keep an eye on them. I know a few of us here have them, and I'm curious if anybody else shared your experience.

No but the nylon on my brass bag is ripping after 2 uses

I have the rifle bag and a pistol bag, and, I don't recall which one, but one of them has the midway logo stitched upside down on it.

Other than that, no major issues, although they've only been used in the field once.

I lost a zipper pull on a Midway case too, Just tie an old piece of boot lace to it. Back in business

Isn't that what 550 cord is for?

 

[alloyguitar]

I was about to say that.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

I have about 13.5 gazillion feet of 550. How much do you want?

No trouble yet.

Same issue here. After the first one I went back and stiched them all across a couple times. No issues since then.

I've got that bag, and I am very hard on the zippers.... no breakage here, however on other bags I use zip ties its a good band-aid and color coordination system.

I had three come apart the day I took it out of the box. If it is the plastic pull, it can be popped apart, the cord restrung and snapped back together. I did that with mine and they have not come apart yet.

I have one and no problems. Ive been using for 2 years I think. It has not seen much use this year but everything on it has held up very well.

I have a pretty cheap range bag, it's brand is Gunmate. I think I paid like $25 or $30 for it and it is tough as nails.

I have one as well and it's held up pretty well. I did pop one of the zippers off and just popped the one from the other end of the pocket off and replaced them with paracord and plastic clips. I have a Maxpedition bag that the knotted paracord kept coming untied on so I hit eBay and ordered a bundle of paracord and clips to use. Proved to be a solid and inexpensive fix.

Mine is holding up well so far...but it is less than a year old.
