GNP Defend Ballistic Range Mat is a handmade work surface built from genuine Cordura® ballistic fabric — the same heavy-duty material trusted in military packs, plate carriers, and gear that has to survive hard use. Heat-resistant and waterproof, it protects your bench from hot barrels, ejected brass, solvents, and oil — at the range or on the cleaning table.
Handmade From Cordura® Ballistic Fabric
Not a stamped-out rubber pad. Every mat is cut and sewn by hand from true ballistic-grade Cordura® — the fabric your gear is made of, protecting the bench your gear sits on.
Why Cordura® Ballistic Fabric Beats a Rubber Mat
✓ Heat-resistant surface — set down a hot barrel or let brass land on it without melting or scorching
✓ Waterproof barrier — solvents, oil, and rain stay on the mat, not on your table or gear bag
✓ Abrasion resistance — ballistic-weave nylon shrugs off slide serrations, rails, and sharp edges
✓ Lays flat, packs light — rolls into your range bag and deploys flat, unlike stiff rubber pads
✓ Handmade quality — individually cut and stitched, not mass-produced
|
Handmade Cut and sewn one at a time — inspected by hand, not by conveyor belt. |
Heat-Resistant Handles hot barrels, suppressor heat soak, and ejected brass. |
|
Waterproof Blocks solvents, oil, and moisture from reaching your bench. |
12" × 18.5" Full workspace for pistols and revolvers — rolls up to fit any range bag. |
Snap-Up Tray Mode — Nothing Rolls Away
Snap the four corners up and the mat transforms into a parts tray. Pins, springs, screws, and brass stay contained instead of rolling off the bench and disappearing into the grass or under your workbench.
✓ Flat mat for cleaning and range use ✓ Snapped tray for detail strips and small parts ✓ One tug and it lies flat again
Built by Hand, Not by the Thousand
Small-batch, handmade construction — the same care you put into your firearms.

How to Use Your Range Mat
1. At the range. Roll it out on the shooting bench to give your firearm, mags, and optics a clean, padded, waterproof surface — no more setting your pistol on bare concrete or wet wood.
2. On the cleaning bench. Flip your workspace into a cleaning station. The waterproof surface contains solvent and oil — pair it with GNP Defend Gun Cleaner and Gun Oil for a complete maintenance setup.
3. Detail strips. Snap the corners up into tray mode before you break down slides or triggers — every pin, spring, and screw stays inside the mat.
4. In transit. Roll or fold the mat flat and slide it into your range bag. It weighs next to nothing and takes no space.
5. After the session. Wipe down with a damp cloth, let it air dry, and it’s ready for the next trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this different from a cheap rubber cleaning mat?
Material and construction. Rubber mats melt under heat, crack over time, and smell like a tire shop. Cordura® ballistic fabric is the material used in military-grade packs and gear — heat-resistant, waterproof, and nearly impossible to wear out. And each mat is handmade, not stamped out by a machine.
Can I set a hot barrel on it?
Yes — the heat-resistant surface is built to take hot barrels and freshly ejected brass without melting or scorching.
Will gun oil and solvent soak through to my table?
No. The waterproof construction keeps solvents, oil, and moisture on the mat’s surface. When you’re done, just wipe it clean.
Is it big enough for my pistol?
At 12" × 18.5", it comfortably fits full-size pistols and revolvers with room for magazines, tools, and parts. For long guns, it works great as a muzzle-end or action-area pad.
What are the snaps on the corners for?
Snap all four corners up and the mat becomes a parts tray with raised walls — perfect for detail strips, so pins, springs, and small screws can’t roll off the bench. Unsnap and it lies perfectly flat again.
How do I clean the mat itself?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth and let it air dry. The Cordura® surface releases oil and residue easily.
Does it work as both a range mat and a cleaning mat?
That’s exactly what it’s built for. Use it on the firing line to protect your firearm from rough benches, then use the same mat at home to contain the mess when you clean.
