Plano All-Weather Gun Case

Great case to store anything that's the right size, a firearm in my case. It takes some planning to figure out where you want to put everything, but you can just lay things out on top of the foam, and then pull out the foam once you have the layout figured out. Easy. I like having 4 latches, and I love having two of them lockable, even though I feel certain a good praybar would break it right open. I also like the ability to release the pressure valve in case you're flying. Nice idea. I like the lock points, holes next to the latches that I run padlocks through to add a little more security. Great case, great value.

Good price on a hard shell case made in USA. Lockable with installed locks or with another lock. Easy to customize the padding insert for rifle and accessories.

Good

Love it, great quality really nice all around

I like everything about this 42" case with the exception of the slots for the optional tie-down straps. They are not wide enough for a standard 2" wide luggage strap. So, if you choose to use straps and the integrated case slots, they will only accommodate straps that are 1" wide. I wanted to use straps because I had to check the case as I was traveling by air.Also, the opening of the strap slots are too small and won't allow the strap buckle to pass through. There are slots on the front of the case and on the back of the case, which is fine as they are needed to secure the straps to the case. However, because the opening of the slots are so small you have to completely remove the male strap buckles from each strap, pass the straps through the slots, and then reattach the male buckles, which is kind of a pain. The female buckle is sewn in place and can't be removed. Also, once you have the straps and buckles in place and then want to open the case after unbuckling the straps, you will only be able to open it about 12" - 14" before the female buckles hit the slots, preventing the case from opening any more than that. The only way to fully open the case is to once again completely remove the female buckle. Fortunately, the airline desk agent didn't need me to fully open the case. She just needed to place a firearms declaration card inside the case which she was able to do with the case partially open.Also, the case has four heavy duty latches, two of which are keyed. It also has two holes to accommodate padlocks. If you are going to be traveling by air, I recommend using TSA approved padlocks only, and leave the keyed latches unlocked as I don't think TSA keys will open them. If you do lock the latches and a TSA agent wants to open the case after you have checked it, they will probably just bust open the whole thing to inspect the contents. I just returned from a trip and one of my two TSA padlocks was missing. I think they removed both of the locks, inspected the contents, and then reattached only one of the locks. Had I also locked the keyed latches, who knows what they would have done to get into the case. Glad I left those latches unlocked. Of course, one you reach your destination, feel free to lock the keyed latches.For the strap slot reasons stated above, I took off one star. Also, contrary to the description, the 42" case DOES NOT come with wheels. Wheels only come with the 52" case.If you aren't going to use straps, then this is a great case. It's sturdy and rugged. I was able to conform the pluck foam to hold a shotgun, a .22 rifle, and a pistol and magazine.

Great product extremely durable and well built!

Bought this to house my headrush pedalboard. Has held up to gigging and abuse ... my pedalboard is in safe hands.

I have never checked firearms on an airplane, but I needed to move some firearms to a new location and none of the cases I already had really fit that need. This case is sturdy, has two locking latches, plus holes for four external locks. It fit the bill perfectly.The wheels made it easy to get through the airport, albeit the clanking sound of the wheels going every tile crack led me to carrying it for a while, they were perfect on smooth floors. The case comes with easy pluck foam, but I chose not to use it so I could use the case for all of my long guns and not just a specific one.Just two quick hints, not about the case, but about my experience traveling with firearms. First you do not need to buy locks that can be opened by TSA. I would suggest buying a padlock that is not accessible by a TSA key. Those keys have been stolen in the past and anybody who handles your luggage may have one. Secondly I threw an Apple tag in the case so I could keep my eye on the case the entire time. This put my mind at ease. Well at least until I arrived at baggage claim and saw my case was just on the other side of the wall from me for about 30 minutes before they actually brought it out for me to collect.
