    Any one ever use Seahorse or Case Club pistol cases?

    Im looking to travel in Sept and need to ship a few handguns using shipmygun. I dont know if how well they would be handled so Id much rather use a hard plastic case for shipping than some cardboard box and foam. I know it may be rough but my budget is $100-ish for something that holds 4-5 pistols . I will have 2 TRP 1911s , an M&P 5in and a VP9 . Im looking at these two , anyone have any experience with these companies or recommendations? Ive never done this before so i may be over looking something.TIA

    I had the seahorse version of that caseclub case you have linked. While I never used it for mailing / traveling . I thought it did a good job of protecting my handguns when used and would have trusted it for travel or mailing.

    I actually found my seahorse at a local frys electronics at a good price. ($70~) for the 5 pistol version which I thought was a good price back then.

      Yeah. I bought one from amazon. It is very nice and it keeps my firearm snug. It only has room for the fire arm, one magazine , and a small item.

      Its very rigid. And I keep 2 padlocks on it. I would buy a second one but the other firearm Is a sub compact with a 3" slide

      The seahorse I have is a se-300 single handgun case, I bought it for $52

        The foam they use seems to suck oil from of the rails on my metal guns causing it to seep outside, no idea why it does this.

          Ok looks like the seahorse is the way to go. If i travel outside of the CA with the VP9 will I be able to mail it back to myself? I just realized this while case shopping

            Generally, only an FFL can use the United States Postal Service to "mail" handguns to the manufacturer or another FFL.

              You can not "mail" it back but can certainly FedX or UPS it back to yourdelf. Next day or Second day air service only that is.

                I bought one lightly used for $50, really good deal. The foam in the bottom was wet with gun oil, but warm water and Dawn cleaned it right up. Very well built.

                    I have a Seahorse one that you can pluck the foam and you could put at least 8 pistols in there. The nice thing about the one I got is it has rollers. Definitely a must have if you plan to carry over 4 guns.

                      They are great cases. I have a 540 series that holds 4 pistols, 12 clipazines and a couple boxes of ammo. I also have a single pistol 300 series case.

                      I'm not sure who makes these cases. As I also have a "quick fire" brand case that's also similar model number to the sea horse. "qf540" The plastic case is 100% identical (foam has different cut outs) but everything else is identical shape, size, design, mold markings, everything. Only difference is the oval shape has a different sticker from the company. Seahorse is about $30 cheaper if you buy online. I got jipped off at the Costa Mesa gun show on it.

                          I love my Case Club case. I have the 4 pistol one that holds 16 mags that also has the accessory pocket.

                            I have the seahorse 630 and 1530. Cheaper than a pelican but every bit as good. The 630 has an optional foam cutout for 4 pistols, plenty of mags and a couple of accessories. The foam is also closed cell so won't trap moisture but I keep dessicant packs in them anyways.
