1. Case Club Case for 5 Pistols and 20 Magazines with a Rechargeable Moisture-Absorbing Silica Gel Canister to Help Prevent Gun Rust
Top-rated: 1,602 ratings | 53 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Holds 5 pistols and 20 magazines (+5 more in the magwells). Case is 100% shippable and airline approved for TSA checked luggage.
Helpful review: "I use this case for 4 different handguns. All different sizes and this case works perfect for all of them. The mag slots have panels to make them different sizes just have to pull then out. Takes a little tinkering but you will be done organizing it in 5 mins. Nothing is to gard or tight. If your running a gun light I suggest flipping the gun because of the thickness. Then you dont have to stretch out the foam" — Travis
Trending review: "I have a Pelican V200 I was using. This is taller and deeper, so pistols with red dots fit much better. The pre-cut foam makes organizing pretty quick. Fits extended mags pretty well, only one I couldn’t get to fit were FN509 24-rd mags." — Justine
Reassuring review: "I researched these cases from A to Z. I bought the Vault300 BUT then I found Case Club!!! I bought this one thinking... well I'll wait and compare them. Well the Pelican V300 Vault Large Pistol Case got returned! Case Club rocks. Did I say great price? Rare that quality and affordable price go hand in hand. The cut out inserts are included and you can customize to YOUR liking. V300 you have to pay another 65+ . I have a G21SF - XD40 - G22 and 2 Olights (they rock 2 BTW!) plus filled to capacity with mags and several other cool things. Glock mags fit tightly - XD mags have a little loose play - no big deal. BTW I don't leave my olights on and just put them in the right side spot. Plus I love that a pro Silica Gel Canister is included! No saving little ones from other shipping or vit bottles. I put this case through the paces. I've turned all of my friends onto them as well. At range I'm constantly asked where did I get that?!?! Don't waste your time. One of the great things I love about Amazon are the reviews people leave! Hopefully this helps. But I say.... Buy this one - save $$$ and time. Cheers." — Customer

2. MTM Two-Pistol Case
Top-rated: 2,899 ratings | 116 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Two-pistol, snap-latch handgun case.
Helpful review: "I bought this MTM pistol case for one reason and one reason only: to hold my Taurus Raging Bull. This large frame revolver has an 8.375" (8 3/8") barrel. After reading other reviews, I was sold on this case. I have other MTM products, so I am familiar with the brand and don't question the quality of the case. The plastic is rigid enough and the foam grabs and keeps the items inside snug and in place. The latches are adequate and snap close securely. I knew that I could fit the revolver diagonally, but was really pleasantly surprised to see that the gun can fit across the entire width of the case as well. As can be seen in my photo, I was also able to fit a Taurus Spectrum .380 and a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield in .40 cal. None of the guns are laying on top of one another. There is plenty of space between them. The case closes with no problem and keeps the guns in their place. I swung this around a few times and upon opening it, was pleased to find everything in its place. If you have a large revolver, or want to store or transport multiple compact or subcompact handguns, this affordable case might be to your liking. Read the reviews. I did and they sold me on this case. I hope my review helps you make your decision." — Mark
Trending review: "For the price, this is a great case for storing and light-toting up to two pistols (e.g. see attached photo with two 1911s and four magazines for a sense of size). This has all plastic components with a lighter plastic casing and egg-crate foam that holds the contents securely enough. With my arrangement, there is a .5cm gap along the closure edges. I would say this is good for storage and for trips to the range. I would not recommend this case for trips that require rugged construction, 100% tamper-proof security, or element-proof encasement. While it would technically pass TSA requirements for firearm travel and does indeed have two lock holes and room around the handle for another cable lock if desired, I would not personally attempt airline transport with this case. If you need a more rugged application or if you will be air-traveling with your firearm(s), you'll probably want to look into Pelican or another upper-tier case. If you need, however, an affordable storage case or light-to-medium use range case, you can't beat this for the money. Glad I bought and will purchase more as needed." — Jeremiah Payne

3. Flambeau Outdoors 10" Pistol Case
Top-rated: 3,012 ratings | 34 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: The heavy-duty plastic construction of the Pistol Pack Case protects your weapon from general wear and tear. Features convoluted foam interior cushioning.
Helpful review: "I recently bought a Smith and Wesson SD9VE and it came in a cardboard box so the first thing I needed was a case. This is the first case I came across that has slide latches, meaning I can use the lock that came with the gun to secure the case instead of having to buy extra pad locks to lock the other style cases. The case is more than adequate for the price and what I need it for!" — Chad E. Cox
Trending Review: "Nice, budget Friendly case that holds my budget friendly gun. Fits my SCCY CPX-2 and it's 2 magazines with ease. I seen a few negative reviews on here that seemed like nonsense. Some complained about the quality and the foam but I found no issue. For $14 at the time of writing this, it's a great case. I would not expect premium quality from something that costs as much as an average lunch, but for the price, it's a great case! Yes, as others have said, the foam is not glued in, but for me that's a plus, I store my owners manual underneath the foam. Some said the sticker left residue, but mine came right off, some even complained about the molding marks on the case, but who cares? It's a case, and it does what a case should, regardless of a blemish. Case closed." — Chevy
Reassuring review: "This pistol/ revolver case is slightly larger inside than most factory supplied cases. It is good for average size smaller framed .22 LR , .32 ACP, .380 ACP, compact 9 MM, and small revolvers 2½"-3" .38/ .357, .44, .45 caliber guns. The padded convoluted foam liner keeps spare magazines and speed loaders in place. Sliding dual latches help secure the case closed. The value is great AND you get that feature of being able to install a lock (None included with the case) on both sides of the handle that will help prevent anyone curious or determined from hurriedly twisting the halves apart on one side to gain access to your firearm like other case designs would allow. I highly recommend this to help deter theft and tampering." — CatWacker

4. Plano Single Scoped Pistol Case
Top-rated: 4,472 ratings | 72 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Accommodates a longer barreled handgun with scope and accessories or two small handguns.
Helpful review: "I love this box! My M&P Shield 9mm fits like a charm! You can't beat the price! The gun store was selling the same box but double the price! I'm so glad I got it here. It fits my ammo box, bullet feeder and my magazine with no issue. Recommended!" — Nelson88
Trending review: "This is a nice cheap box that holds can hold a handgun, a box of ammo, and 2 clips. I use this for a Ruger SR9E. The box is good enough for transporting a handgun from one location to another, or to the range. It does not have a lock, just a basic case. I like it for my cheap gun. The foam inside is nice, it compresses well to hold everything from shaking when moving. The case is light. I don't know if this will be fine if you drop it too many times on hard surfaces." — Eric Magoo
Reassuring review: "What a fantastic bargain on this little pistol case. I honestly did not have high expectations, nor did I expect a very high level of fit and finish. I was pleasantly surprised when I received my new case and discovered that it was much better than I anticipated. Of course as many people have pointed out it is not exactly heavy duty, but for my purposes it is perfect for storing my new Taurus G3. I flipped one side of the egg shell foam over, traced my gun and magazines, and carefully cut out the foam to custom fit my gun and mags. It will hold everything very securely and completely to my satisfaction and needs, and it will meet any requirements for security during a range visit as well. What I travel with it on an airline? Probably not, but if that was my intention I would have bought a different case. I think for the money, this is probably one of the best deals that I have found on Amazon for a pistol case. If you want my ultimate seal of approval , I am going to order two more!" — R.J.

5. MTM Single Revolver Case
Top-rated: 6,850 ratings | 107 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: For automatics and scoped revolvers with barrels measuring 6 inches or less.
Helpful review: "It's actually better than what it's advertised for. It's advertise for up to a 6 inch barrel. The one you see in this picture is a 7 1/4 inch barrel. The entire length of this firearm is 11 1/2 inches long and fits with room to spare below. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it fit especially for the price I paid for it." — prattcarioca
Trending review: "It was the perfect size for my gun, everything remains in perfect position upon opening. The lock I purchased is not as easy to apply since the locking mechanism is inside of the carry handle on this box so I use a trigger lock instead and carry the padlock on the inside of the case for situations where double locking is recommended. This is not a heavy-duty carrying case but perfect for my on-the-shoulder handbag that I use to carry equipment to the range." — ClassicalEduMom
Reassuring review: "It's sold as a single pistol case, but really fits just about any 2 of mine. Even fits my 5" barrel revolver, with room left for my Glock 17, much less any of the more compact guns. If you're using it for a single gun, I can put in my 6" barrel Buckmark and 5 loaded magazines. It has plenty of room. This isn't a shipping case, by any stretch of the imagination. It's not meant for rugged use and abuse, but when used to hold pistols for local transport, it's perfect." — Ron

6. Cedar Mill Fine Firearms Hard Pistol Case with a Dual-Lock System
Top-rated: 3,862 ratings | 108 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Unlike pistol cases that crack, chip and break, the cedar mills fine firearms pistol case is engineered for strength and durability.
Helpful review: "I bought this case for my 9mm Smith and Wesson M&P Shield. Not only will my pistol easily fit inside, but so will the spare magazines. The case even came with a handy tool to help punch out the foam to fit whatever you are putting inside. It looks like the seller addressed the earlier comments about needing foam lining on the bottom since that does not appear to be a problem. I am very happy with this purchase and plan to buy another if my next pistol comes in a cardboard box (c' mon Smith and Wesson!)." — Ian Fleming
Trending review: "Nice quality and inexpensive case to store my pistol which the original case was broken and not working properly and completely unsecure (for the last 20 years). This case worked perfect and easily customized to fit my 1911 style firearm. Would highly suggest this case if you don't have a case or the one you have is in poor condition. It sits in a large safe so I was not concerned about the physical security of the case itself so it was not a factor in buying this particular case. No matter what you buy the only way to ensure it stays put is put it in a heavy duty safe that can't be moved otherwise you could easily cut through it to access the firearm. For travel I would assume it would be fine with the proper locking mechanism applied." — KiloLima
Reassuring review: "This case is exactly what I was looking for. After reading multiple reviews I decided to purchase this. I have to say that my review is very high as well. My girlfriend and I are taking a trip in a couple weeks and wanted a safe, legal means of transporting our guns on the airplane. The pluck-a-part foam works perfectly to securely hold them inside the case. Pictured on the left are both of our daily carries. My Glock 23 and her SA XD-S, along with a magazine for each (admittedly a tight but secure fit) I’m sure it wouldn’t take anyone very long to open the locked case but that’s not why we purchased it. I can’t speak to the ruggedness of it just yet although my initial impression is great. It should easily meet the airline’s recommendation." — Holden

7. Eylar Water and Shock Proof Hard Gun Case
Top-rated: 1,325 ratings | 26 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Waterproof protection for up to 1 meter fully submerged with a rubber gasket lining.
Helpful review: "This case is the perfect case for my 9mm Smith and Wesson Shield. It has enough room to fit the handgun plus 2 magazines plus a small accessory item and hold them all securely. The fit and finish of the case is superb and the case is the perfect size. It is compact enough to fit on a shelf in my gun safe which makes it convenient for me for storage purposes. I travel considerably so the TSA compliant feature is important for me as well as the waterproof feature. The foam insert is easy to customize to your individual set up. I will definitely buy again." — Bruce C. Miller II
Trending review: "There's nothing not to like about this sturdy single-pistol case. It'll hold a gun and two extra magazines. (You'll also need 2 small TSA keyed combination locks if you want to put a gun into checked baggage. TSA locks aren't included but are available for about $15 per pair). A great deal!" — Dan M.
Reassuring review: "It is perfect for my pistol. I use it to carry my gun to my classes and it fits perfectly into my carry bag. It is very sturdy, I love the color and I'm glad that I bought it. I have nothing negative to say about it. It is the perfect size and I'm happy with my decision to purchase it." — D.J.

8. Case Club Single Pistol Pre-Cut Waterproof Case
Top-rated: 1,080 ratings | 52 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Can accommodate under barrel attachments.
Helpful review: "Like them enough to buy two. Sturdy, well made, and at better price than others. Pre-cut is more to my liking than the "pick and pluck" of others, but opinions will vary on that. Those with good spatial awareness and desiring an exact fit to their personal liking will like the Pelican counterpart better IMHO. If not particularly good at spatial visualization, or if less patient about outlining and positioning before plucking, then pre-cut is better for you. I'm not at all a fan of the cases with "dimple" foam top and bottom, but again a personal choice with pros and cons. If first time removing the various sections then use some patience and discretion. "Measure twice, cut once". Lay the gun on the uncut foam and make sure you know which sections have to come out. If you have to remove some others than the central one, remember the supplied knife is sharp and it is easy to color outside of the lines, cut outside the lines, especially in the curves fitting a 1911. Use the back of the knife just on the surface to outline the areas to come out and once sure then cut down a few strokes at a time. If you have to widen an area on a curve, make sure to nick the area to come out (yeah I know, duh, but easy to slip).
Again maybe good enough for short-term storage, with desiccant packs added, but will attract and retain moisture in a more humid climate - even if stored in temperate indoor conditions. If don't have a safe then a sturdy case like this with desiccant and LOCKED is the BARE MINIMUM that one should do. Won't deter theft in the least bit but will at least slow down naïve and innocent of all ages. Of course, don't ever store a gun in the nylon soft case (or a holster of any material) in a gun safe. Haven't tested the waterproofness and don't intend to. But, the O ring in the lid seems sturdy and of a material that won't deteriorate too badly over time. It isn't a 5 ATM dry box but doesn't pretend to be. Construction seems good enough to withstand getting caught in rain, and perhaps being dropped into very shallow water for a min or two. Case is a good product that does exactly what it claims to do. You could do a lot worse for the same money." — Mmasquer

9. Plano Large Case for Pistols and Accessories - Protector Series
Top-rated: 1,832 ratings | 99 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Backed by Plano's limited lifetime warranty.
Helpful review: "GUN INTENDED TO FIT: SPRINGFIELD XD TACTICAL .45ACP 5" BARREL. (I put the handgun model at the top, as the only reason I'm writing this review is to help others determine if this will fit their gun... I found similar comparisons helpful when I was shopping for this myself).
There isn't really much to say in a review. This case is how I expected it. Sturdy(ish)-enough to "keep honest people out"-and the cable is nice. I bought this at the same time as a "GunVault NV200 NanoVault" (that's how it's listed on Amazon) which was much more expensive. What I was trying to do is get a case that's as compact as possible to transport my Springfield XD Tactical .45ACP Pistol (this is the model with the 5" barrel and extended slide... specifically called the "tactical" model which is about an inch longer in the slide than the standard full-size .45ACP Springfield XD). I bought both this and the GunVault case because I wanted something that worked as well as possible while still meeting California's requirements for locked transport of handguns before I went on a trip that was coming up, and I figured that by buying both I would be hedging my bets and get a better chance of ending up with a case that would work for the trip. Both cases hold the XD. The Plano case holds it BETTER, however. I say better because of the thickness.
I have trouble closing the GunVault NV200 without applying a lot of excess pressure when I'm putting the XD in it. The Plano closes without effort, and is actually SMALLER than the GunVault. The GunVault is WAY more protective of course, but I was only getting this to meet minimum legal compliance for handgun transportation in CA. So I took the Plano on the trip, but I opted to keep the GunVault because the added "smash and grab" protection offered by the cable on the GunVault is a nice feature, and as such I've opted to keep the GunVault in my truck in case I ever find a need to leave a pistol or other valuables in there for an extended period." — MS

10. Plano Single Pistol Case
Top-rated: 2,714 ratings | 39 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Protects your pistol during storage and transport with thick wall construction and inner walls of high-density foam that hug the firearm to prevent movement.
Helpful review: "This is a very sturdy case. I bought it primarily to store pistols in my safe, but I would also trust this 100% to transport pistols to and from the range. The plastic is thick enough to provide protection and the latch mechanism is very well built and reliable. The size is actually large enough to fit two medium-frame pistols easily. I would not rely on a plastic case of this style to attempt transporting pistols through an airline - it's just not that sturdy (the requirement is that the edge can't by pried open enough to insert a finger, and this one just doesn't lock in a way that offers that type of rigidity). But if you have a pistol without a case and you'd like an inexpensive option to store it or transport it safely within a range bag, this case serves that purpose extremely well without costing a ridiculous amount. On a par with most OEM plastic cases that come with new firearms. I bought one just to see how it was constructed, then bought more." — CO Steve
Trending review: "Just to give you an idea of the size, this "single pistol" case definitely will hold two handguns, but not much else of course. I successfully fit two full frame 1911s in this case after taking the weapons light off. That being said I didn't think I was going to like this egg carton foam case because my Sig has such a nice form fitting foam cutout case from the factory I didn't think I would like the egg carton style, but I decided to get one because my Springfield came with a foam cutout case that holds a holster and mag pouch as well as the gun and mags so its a little big to be taking to the range. On top of that this gun is my new home defense gun with light/laser on the rail so I don't want to have to take the light off every time I want to put it in the case, and don't want to cut up the foam in the nice Springfield fitted case so I decided with getting this Plano case. Fits my full frame 1911 with TLR2 on the rail and 2 mags comfortably, could squeeze in 3 if i wanted. Kinda cheap flimsy plastic and all but I can't complain for $6, actually a perfect little range case." — Mike S.

11. Vault by Pelican - Pistol Case with Foam
Top-rated: 486 ratings | 35 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Cases are sealed against moisture and dust for long-term confidence in harsh conditions.
Helpful review: "This is a great gun case for the price, be weary of the bad reviews! The bad reviews stem from the fact that you WILL need to modify the foam... this requires use of your hands and at least 2 brain cells. If you don't have those maybe you should reconsider this purchase. No, there are not precut little squares like your favorite coloring book, get a sharp razor blade and a box of band aids and get to work. I will say the hinges are a little on the weak side, but for the price it's expected." — Alain M.
Trending review: "This pistol vault is very sturdy and easy to use. I travelled with it through two airports and had no issues. At the third airport however, the TSA agent attempted to pry it open because I only had one lock on it. He would not clear me, so I had to leave the vault with a friend. Make sure you have two locks for your vault. I should have known better. I have learned from my mistakes and will have no other issues in the future. When you go to look at locks, make sure to bring the box with you because you need a lock that has a little bit of a longer shackle because the holes on the box are a little thick." — Don
Reassuring review: "Flew with this case from Arizona to Tennessee with no problems at the TSA counter. Make sure you call the airlines to get their rules for traveling with a firearm. Box traveled inside my checked bag so I had no issues at all. A family member bought this same box and traveled from Tennessee to Michigan with no issues either." — Kim Bynum

12. Plano Two Pistol Case - Protector Series
Top-rated: 1,648 ratings | 65 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: The case carries a pistol as well as accessories and is equipped with secure, lockable latches, and a large molded in handle.
Helpful review: "Many years ago, I used to load up my pistols, equipment, and spotting scope inside a tremendously huge (and heavy) box-type carrying case. The brand name escapes me but just about all competition shooters used them. Fast forward to now. My interests have changed over the years. I do lots of cycling now, have several pets, and very little time to shoot these days. So, I needed a minimalist case for the occasional trip to an indoor range to target shoot with a friend. This case meets my needs perfectly. It can hold a Ruger Redhawk and either a S&W Model 41 with scope or a Colt Model 1911, also with scope. Plus, there's ample room for at least 4 magazines for the .45. As others have said, the plastic could be a bit thicker for more rigidity but that won't be an issue for me. I don't plan to ever take this case on a plane so the build quality and price point + many positive reviews made it a good deal." — Richard C.
Trending review: "The case seems great, it definitely works as intended and what I bought it for. One thing I will say is to pay attention to the size in the description. This is definitely not a bad thing but it is much bigger than what I thought it would be, but this is my fault for not looking at the size. I wanted something for a single handgun, I could probably fit 4 handguns in this beast (guess I just have to buy more to fill the empty space). It does have two holes on both sides of the handle to put locks on. Keep in mind that this is a case and NOT a safe. Adding a lock on it will only keep kids out of it. If someone wanted what was inside, it would not be hard to get into. This is not a con of the product because it wasn't meant to be a safe, but depending on your intended use it should be noted. It has pretty thick foam on both the top and bottom interior which is really nice and creates a snug fit on my gun (Taurus g2c). The gun doesn't rattle or move around on the inside The plastic is just okay. It isn't very rigid and I would imagine wouldn't be hard to cut into but it's enough for what I want. Overall for the price you can't complain. It will keep your guns locked up/out of the hands of others in your home and protected from wear. It's perfect for what I wanted it for (keeping my handgun out of the hands of nieces and nephews) but it's nothing special. Overall, great value for the money, lots of space for multiple handguns or accessories, two spots to place a lock, good protection with thick foam, and solid snaps with a good seal, and good functionality/design. This is an honest review of what I thought about the case, hope it helps!" — Dmitri

13. Case Club Case for 6 Pistols and 21 Magazines with a Rechargeable Moisture-Absorbing Silica Gel Canister to Help Prevent Gun Rust
Top-rated: 510 ratings | 41 answered questions
Credit: Amazon.com
Highlight: Holds 6 pistols and 21 magazines (+6 more in the magwells). Case is 100% shippable and airline approved for TSA checked luggage.
Helpful review: "I love this case, great quality, clean pre-cut foam and uses the available real estate nicely. The handle and latches seem super durable and fit my locks I had on hand. I took the case out to my local outdoor range and having all my pistols, easy to grab, in one case is great. It fits my Glock collection, so far, A Gen 3 34, 17, 2x19, 26 and a Gen 2 32 perfectly. I also keep my ported and compensated barrels next to the guns for easy swap outs. My only complaint I wish I bought the bigger version for future pistol collection expansion." — Richter Scale Studios
Trending review: "Spent a lot of time looking for the right case. Glad I landed on this one. Only issue I had was some of the l shaped foam inserts tore when trying to remove, but it comes with a ton of them so the 2 or 3 that I messed up is not a big deal. Unless you’re planning on putting 6 compact pistols with 4 mags a piece in this thing, you won’t need every single piece of spacer foam. Insert foam is very solid and durable. With 5 pistols and all mags, the foam on the right side bulges out a little into the empty compartment. Plenty of room for 2 sets of earpro, plus other things. Silica gel container has its own slot in the foam so it doesn’t rattle around. This case was well worth the money. Highly recommend." — Anonymous

Highlight: The case carries a pistol as well as accessories and is equipped with secure, lockable latches, and a large molded-in handle.
Helpful review: "This case is great for the price. I have had it a while now and done many range trips with it and I've never had it come open or have had any of the guns shift inside of it. It has dual layers of foam and I can pack 5 pistols plus mags and whatever else I want to take with me. You won't be disappointed with it." — Biggbadjohn
Trending review: "In comparison to other handgun cases I've used, this is a 4 star box, simply because it seems a little flimsy. The extra star is due to value. The quality is high for the price of this box. I am happy to have purchased it. There is plenty of room for My S&W M&P .45 and it's little brother 9mm shield. I could easily fit another 9mm compact in here without any touching. Then there's the lower level under the top layer of padding: The padding underneath is perforated (maybe a little too much for my liking ). This makes it easy to cutout for whatever reason. I think this would be a good place for bullets, but I doubt I will ever use it for that... extra mags, an accessory or two and my range pass is probably all I'll use it for. I don't think I would trust it near moisture. I don't store anything in here, just for transporting. There is one hole for a lock on one side of the handle. I will be drilling a second on the other side because I don't think one lock is enough for this case." — Jason
Reassuring review: "Love this! What a great deal also at 19.89!!!! I looked at this and the MTM version and I chose this because if you read the inner dimensions this model is bigger even though both are advertised as large 4 gun models. This will hold 2 large sized guns on each of the two levels, but I can tell you depending on how you lay them out and the size of the guns i was absolutely able to get more than 2 guns on each level. I would say 3 to 4 guns on each level depending on the shape and size of the firearm. The case is heavy duty plastic and the foam is nice and thick and really sandwhiches the guns in place to prevent movement. The clips are secure and lock down well. I am unsure if this is the best choice for airline travel as mine are used for home storage and transportation to the range, but I'm sure it would hold up fine. There might be more secure options for locking, but would any pistol case really be that hard for someone to break into if they wanted too??? There are two layers of egg crate type foam and one smooth layer that has a perforated grid so that you can move that layer to the middle and do a custom cutout for your firearm. I would think this would however reduce it to a one level case. Meaning you could no longer store anoter layer of firearms above or below the custom fitted cutout. If I had to find one negative to say it would be that I'm not crazy about the all plastic hinge. It is full length of the case and I'm sure it will not fail, but I have an older version of this case and it had the metal hinge pin running the full length of the case instead of the plastic hinge and plastic hinge pin as well. This is not enough of a concern for me to knock a star off. I am very happy with these cases for my intended purposes and I feel it was a great deal at the price I paid for it. They are a bit large, so again pay attention to the dimensions. Also, they are not waterproof but I feel they would stay dry in damp conditions of if they accidentally got splashed as long as they are not submerged." — Ray

Helpful review: "I recently purchased a Springfield Hellcat OSP 9mm pistol. It came with a soft shell case that accommodates the pistol, but not much else. I wanted a hard shell case that was a little bigger to accommodate an extra magazine and a magazine loader, but I didn't want a full size pistol case that would take up too much space. After much searching at the local sporting goods stores and firearms dealers I found this case on Amazon. I think it's perfect for my pistol and any other sub-compact/micro compact pistol out there. Let's start with what it is not: It is not a safe. It will not protect your firearm from theft. It will not protect it from being submerged in water. It will not protect against anyone who is willing to pry or cut it open to access what's inside. The case is pretty solid and durable, but it is plastic. What it is: It is a nice case to store your pistol and a few accessories to protect their finish. With an installed trigger lock/cable lock, it will protect your children from accessing your pistol and accidentally discharging it. Add a couple of padlocks to the holes in the case for added security against children. The case can be made as child safe as you are willing to make it. Just as a reference, there were two versions of this case available. A less expensive "original model" sold and shipped by Amazon and an "improved" version soldand shipped by a third party retailer for several dollars more. A friend ordered the "improved" one from a third party on Amazon and I ordered this original version directly through Amazon.
It's funny because we each received the exact same item down to the sticker on the case and SKU number on the sticker. There was absolutely nothing visually apparent to the eye to differentiate the two! They also weigh the same and their foam inserts are the same. If you’re on the fence or confused, just order the Amazon version (sold and shipped by Amazon) and save a few dollars. Okay, we've gotten that out of the way. The case is made of a durable plastic that should last for years. The hinge side is a full length hinge, but it is all plastic! No metal rod securing the two halves. The hinge is snapped together and it could be popped open with a pry tool and a little effort. As a reference, most of the full sized cases I looked at in the $10.00-$20.00 price range were made very similarly. Again, this is not a safe and I didn't purchase it as such. It is great for storage and transporting. The front snaps are also made of plastic, but snap together securely and the edges of the two halves overlap to prevent any gaps. There are padlock holes on either side of the front of the case for added security. The foam inserts appear to be made from good quality mid-weight foam. I didn't observe any pits in them or notice any dust coming off of them as some other reviewers had mentioned. They are as good as any other foam inserts I have had on other firearm cases. They are not glued in, but fit snug and don't fall out with gravity. They are reversible in case you want a smooth flat side and not the egg crate pattern. The egg crates held my Hellcat (secured with a trigger lock), a magazine, and a magazine holder very securely.
I played with some other configurations (please see the attached photos). I was easily able to snap the case closed and the items inside would not shift or move around when carrying the case or abruptly moving it around. I currently do not have a red dot optic on my firearm, but as you can see from my last photo with the pistol sitting lower in the case, it will fit without a problem. All in all this is a great value for the price and does exactly what I need it to do; store and protect my firearm. With some additional steps it can be made more child-safe. I highly recommend it." — SCA

Helpful review: "I bought this for my Glock airguns. It's made for storing just one pistol but as you can see from my pic, it'll fit two plus clips in a pinch. Gun lock and cleaning rod and brush are designed for 9mm bores and aren't much use for .177 cal BB guns, but still cool to have. Added bonus: a thick packet of literature containing the extensive official Glock 17 owners manual, a firearm safety guide, and half a dozen additional gun ownership leaflets are also included. Glock perfection." — Nicholas Garrett
Trending review: "My glock was stolen with the original case years ago. Thankfully Police recovered it (my glock), but without the case. This case came with everything my original came with(pistol lock, brand new glock manual/docs, and cleaning rod). Now my glock feels whole again. I highly recommend." — Demarius York
Reassuring review: "Was looking for a decent pistol case for a couple of guns that I had built up from frames. The Glock OEM case is much higher quality than some of the aftermarket cases I've seen for about the same price." — Gia Victoria
