Pelican doesn't make its cases simply just for rifles and pistols, they make their cases universal that anyone could use them for just about anything. In fact saw this new Carry-on time and now me wantee:




And for a pistol case whats wrong with this one?



It'd be about the same size as my double pistol case and I could fit two 5.1 Hicappa and a G26 in mine; albeit a snug fit.

More info on the 1450:
# Outside Dim.: 16" L x 13" W x 6 7/8" D.
# Inside Dim.: 14 13/16" L x 10 3/8" W x 6 " D.
# Colors:

Black Silver Yellow Orange Desert Tan* OD Green*
OOoooh! i see now I was reading the posts, the cases just look a bit different. And alot of the pics of them on the site show the inside only, not the external. Also im having difficulty telling which of these cases are rifle cases and which are not. So far ive seen 3 Rifle cases (Including the 12 rifle case) but i havent seen any "actual" pistol cases though i see many which could be used as one. Do the foam inserts come precut? or does everyone cut their own foam inserts, and how can i do it to look professionally done. (I hate hacking and slashing foam)
Im really liking the idea of getting a nice Pelican case for my pistol first since the Rifles ones seem REALLY expensive for me atm. But ive went through the Diff Pelican Cases from the Custom Case co link and i have a ruler here with me. Ive looked at the inner size and measured my pistol but I realized i wanted somethign bigger. I was hoping to put 3 mags and a Star QD6 Laser/Taclite Unit Detached with the pistol as well. Im using my rifle case to transport my Pistol atm. Also the reason i like deep cases is cause i have the Guarder padded Extra Battery + 5.56 Bullet holder cheekpad on my stock, and while thats on, I have to force the case closed to lock it so for now i have to remove it when i lock my gun up or transport it. Im really looking to get them in the future tho. Thanks to all that replied Ive learned alot about Gun Cases that id never learn anywhere else. Much Appreciated to everyone.

Cheers!

Edit: Oh wow, that case is perfect size and only 130$ *shock*
i dunno how i missed that. thanks Ill start saving for one
