Pelican Cases?

[xenophobe]

I heard that Pelican has a new type of latch on their most recent cases.

Yes, it is a copy of the Hardigg latch.

[surprised]

The cut foam looks great for transporting, but I understand is not good for storage, because of the trapped humidity. The guns may pit or rust.

I have Pelicans and Starlite cases (I have a smaller Pelican carbine/small rifle case, and the larger big-arsed Starlite for big guns: the Starlite can hold a FAL, a fullsize AR, mags, accessories and a Glock 21. I fly to Oregon with the Starlite.(

The Pelicans seem a tad lighter. I think the Starlite might take more abuse, esp one trip where the Starlite got a gouge on it that might have been worse on the Pelican.

Oh - when I fly with a rifle case I wrap a belt or two around it just in case it somehow pops open. The TSA folks are very nice about refastening the belts after inspection.

I've put my Storm case through all kinds of crap. Never had a problem.

Pelicans crack rather easily. Drop a loaded one on the corner from about 4 feet. Stormcases will take more abuse without being destroyed in this fashion. It's true that the Stormcases are slightly softer material, but the Pelicans are just too brittle.

Lifetime warranty on both.

I have a few Pelican cases but in the real expensive rifles I have ZERO cases.

They are famous for their work in aircraft components as well as high tech applications.

Keep in mind the cases that I purchased were custom made and cost a lot more than your average Pelican or Storm case.

Well, yeah. Halliburton is world famous for their indestructible, secure cases.

Yeah i butchered the crap out of the foam in my average Hardigg Stormcase. I need to order another piece. I just went at it with a steak knife. What can i say, Im impatient
