My new Pelican Pistol(s) case

I literally pulled the "Pluck/Pick" foam inserts in favor of gun specific foam inserts.

What cha'think?

Whoa... What's that? A 'second' layer of pistols? [:D]

I'm going to order a few more inserts for 'other' pistols... too.

    Nice, I have a Plano whetherguard that's a little bit bigger with the same features, and I love it

    I bought a couple PLANO Weather-guard cases. But the ones I bought are too big for my air 'travel' purposes.

    However... I think I can design an insert that allows up to 8 or 10 in one case. Maybe more.

    BTW, those mags are currently loaded.
    (Note the one round in the 'thumb' hole of the mag insert assigned to the P938 mag.
    They'll be unloaded before I board.
    I'll buy ammo when I arrive.

    Where are you going Syria?

    [:D]

    Just kidding.


    You can fly with ammo as long as its in the container it came in or an approved container.

    Got a separate lockable case for ammo... If I want to carry.

    That is the one single issue I have with flying and carrying guns "OUT OF MY CONTROL".

    The question I have... "Do you get a signed document of what has been 'surrendered' to the airline?"

    Exactly what I was thinking.

    9 in one easy to walk away with case?? No thanks.

    Anyway. Nice case, and cutouts.

    The locked case follows the airline regs.
    I plan to embed it in another "dumb lookin' bag" to ward off any treasure seekers.
    The only personnel that will know any different would be the xray tech and the TSA.
