Please post multi pistol case setup

[erik_26]

I have 5 pistols and am sick of having to carry around a bunch of cases. I would ultimately like to get one nice rugged case that I can transport all my pistols in.

I am thinking of getting a pelican. But I don't want to get one so big, that it doesn't fit in the car or I need a forklift to load it in and out of a truck.

I don't know if I would be better off getting a thin/long case and laying them all on their sides? Or getting a deep case that is shorter and place them vertically?


I am looking for ideas. So please post your rigs so I can get some good ideas.


Thanks for sharing.

I was going to start a separate thread about this as I start to configure my cases but I'll share what I have now. This is a Pelican 1500 and it took me a couple of hours to cut out the foam while watching Top Shot . This holds four handguns:



This is after I completed the configuration. This has slots for two additional mags each and a speedloader:

There are some spiffy ones that are made to hold pistols vertically, like this one for 4 guns:

Otherwise you're probably better off getting one that's thick and has multiple foam layers and putting them in there in layers, a couple guns on each.

Pelicans and others like it are really nice -- you can run them over, put them in water -- but they do weigh a freaking ton. I went the cheap route with a Plano Protector series and have seen a few at the range since. Thinner plastic, no rubber seal, but still strong and lockable. If you plan on running yours over with your car though or scuba diving with it, go Pelican or Seahorse or whatever other high end brand

How did you cut it like that?

How did you cut it like that?

Pelican cases (except for the 1700 series long gun cases) are all pick and pluck. They are small, square cutouts that just need to be carefully cut apart.

XYZ that looks real clean. nice job.

Looks very top shelf. I have the same Pelican 1500. I was considering leaving the foam out and throwing two of these inside.

Cant go wrong either way. I like being able to use multiple securing methods for transporting weapons. Trigger lock plus case lock in this scenario.

Now you got me rethinking. Which for me is a very dangerous move.

XYZ, that looks nice.


I have one wheel gun that is kind of long. So I will have to figure out another configuration.
