discreet AR pistol bag?

[readyme]

I recently built an AR Pistol (BCM 11.5" upper and a lower sporting a SBA3 brace).
What discreet rifle bag do you use to carry your complete pistol? Mine is about 28".
Thanks for any help.

This ⤴⤴⤴⤴

I also use a Bulldog discrete 26in bag occasionally but it still brings questions with the rectangular shape.
With a racquet bag most questions are answered.

I picked up some tennis racket bags and a bag to some sort of club or something, not sure what it's for but it works really well for folded AK's. I also found surplus M60 barrel bags work well for my AR pistol or folded AKs.

I've also found a few well placed patches makes good camouflage, I've got several 'discrete' bags with tool patches (Snap On, Ryobi, John Deere) or NASA Space mission patches. "oh, that? It's my telescope".

I'm also old & fat so no one's gonna believe a Wilson racquet bag, so I have a few ukulele & mandolin bags.
If someone tries to start a conversation I've got a few clever responses like "I just started", "Its my wife's instrument actually", and the always classis "Get a job, hippie!".

This goes back to my point about (1) disguising the contents of the bag by misdirection (using a bag that's recognized to normally contain something else), or (2) being more covert/discreet, where no one notices you.

With (1), you can still attract unwanted attention by misdirection if the bag seems to contain something of value (tools, electronic goods etc) or something of common interest (to start conversation), or looks out of place. Tool manufacturer patches can be an invitation for thieves. Go with a generic Nike or Reebok sports patch or something.

For (2), a truly discreet bag should give no clue as to its contents (by recognizable shape or label) and not attract attention where you bring it. If you're carrying a generic backpack (not a specific laptop backpack), no one's going to approach you to ask you if you play in a band or chat about tennis.

I deliberately sized my Mk18 to fit in a tennis racket bag from the outset, and it can load up in there with the can installed - design goal accomplished.

In practical terms, even though I still actively go around and play tennis with my friends, for the same volume allocation I can be better equipped for pistol engagements and mostly leave it alone.
I've migrated to cheap basic gym bags also - cheap sprawl-mart brand stuff draws the least attention. I think the value of misdirection on that is overrated in most circumstances, so I prioritize having something that is at least functional... since low profile goes mostly out the window depending on the bumper sticker setup anyway.

Get a law folder it will open up the options for bags

Right now for a 10.3 with folder I'm using a Red Rock Operations Duffel, but I'm also a bit of an oddball that my gun-bag also has to pull double-duty as a laptop case for my big 17-incher.

With enough dorky cable-clutter, that might be enough to help soothe the sheeple into thinking "oh, just an overloaded IT pro"... those two right-side front pouches are planned to become hard-drive caddies once I figure out how to route the USB cables and mount the USB hub.
