I got this M&P Smith & Wesson bag and wrote this review, which is based on my own experience. I hope it helps you make a smarter decision.

FYI, prices and ratings are accurate as of time of writing.

If it says Smith and Wesson M&P on a rifle case, I guess it would be better to wrap around one of them. I went to review the case and attempted to buy a rifle to fit inside it, but I got caught and grounded. So I called my brother-in-law, who has an M&P Smith and Wesson AR-15, and we tried it on for size.

His rifle is fully kitted out with all the stuff that will bolt onto the rifle, and it's a nice setup for nearly anything that comes along. It's a full-size gun with a full-size scope, and it even has a folding bipod on the front. So it's great for testing out this rifle bag.

By the way, I compared this S&W soft case with other tactical options in my comprehensive rifle case roundup. Check it out for more photos and additional real-world feedback.

M&P by Smith & Wesson - Padded Rifle Case

HIGHLIGHT:

It is full-size and has a double zipper for quick access.

CAPACITY:

The gun will fit nicely in the rifle case, but it is too tight with the add-ons to zip closed with an inserted magazine. The case will fit one rifle and has padded sides.

PADDING:

The padding is OK, but not great. This is not a drop-test gun case but a bumps-down-the-road case. But this is the kind of padding you get for fifty bucks.

CARRY HANDLES:

The carry handles are standard webbing, and they do have a wrap-around piece to turn two straps into one if that is a thing anyone needs. They work well for a budget gun bag. Remember, this is not a $300 Pelican case. This is a $50 Smith & Wesson bag. You get what you pay for.

OUTER STORAGE:

The case has four magazine pockets on the outside, and they are covered with a secure flap with Velcro to keep junk out of them. The flap is good for keeping stuff out of the magazines when they ride in the car, but it will not keep them pure if I haul this through the sagebrush to get at the terrible jack rabbit invasion squad.
