Pick & Pluck Pistol Case

I have a First Choice Pistol case that is soft sided. The design is to allow for 1-3 pistols to be stored in moveable velcro holster type holders with a velcro strap to hold the pistol in. With a 1911 it never seemed secure so I ordered this Pistol Foam case with the cutout for a 1911. The pistol fits perfectly in the cut out and the Foam material fits perfectly in my soft sided case. Very happy with this purchase.

Nanuk Case Locks don't fit.

The case is great. The only issue I have is with the video that is part of their Amazon advertisement, which resulted in me reducing the rating by one star. The video shows a TSA approved lock, of which the only manufacturer I can find is Nanuk. I purchased two cases and four locks (2 for each case) as I am traveling soon and intend to take my pistols. The Nanuk TSA locks, like the ones shown in the video DO NOT work with these cases - the pin is not long enough to enable you to lock the locks. Do not purchase the Nanuk TSA locks as shown in the video for this gun case. Unfortunately, Cedar Mills does not have the locks available anywhere.

TSA did not like the locks I used as they said it allowed to much space to get your finger thru, but yet he did not care that he saw the ammo in the clip in the box when once closed he asked, is ammo in a separate container. I made eye contact with him and well yes.......and he slapped the seal sticker on and said have a good flight. They are so damn hypocritical ! They blast people for little aggravating red tape but let the stuff that should matter, well who cares about that!?! Anyhow, the container works as long as you have the right locks. The smaller the better!

Good gun case. My Springfield 1911 fits perfectly, it closes snug, my gun does not move around. It is a small case though.

There's a reason this case is a best seller. It's well-designed, well-built, and economical. I bought it to transport my service pistol safely and securely and it does just that. It holds my Taurus PT92 and extra mags with lots of room to keep each piece from damage. The outer shell is tough and the inner foam layers sufficient to cushion everything. And it all fastens securely with two locking holes just to the inside of the two sliding latches, next to the carrying handle. With the two TSA approved MonoShaft locks I also bought, my weapon is secure even when it of my sight. These items get a solid five stars from this old trooper.

This review is my first impressions of this case. Compact to carry with easy to use latches. I found the grid cut foam to be used to make a cut out for my pistol to be inventive and easy to use to make a fit for my pistol not some generic cutout. IMO if you only had one pistol, the grid could be used to make cutouts for 2 or 3 magazines too. Otherwise they could be foam protected on flat foam under the gun foam. From first impressions this will be a large step up from what I am currently using to transport my pistol. Update 7/15/21 After doing the pluck thing to make a cut out for my pistol, I would recommend the manufacturer use a higher density foam for this layer. And some better directions that make it plain the included tool can be used to help cut out the foam. Other than I have a sightly larger cutout than I wanted, the foam works ok. I put the unloaded plastic indicator that came with my Shield Plus into one of the slits so I can find it if needed. Then just lay the spare magazine on the top of the pick and pluck foam and close the case. So far works fine. I think with some care two compact pistols like the Shield Plus could fit in this one case. The extra foam layers supplied help cushion the pistol fine and I store the Shield manual and the case included tool between the middle and bottom foam layers. The slide locks work really easy too. If traveling with the case via plane I would suggest two high quality cable locks be used in the supplied holes in the slide locks. I have no recommendations for locks. IMO this is a good case and should last years of going to the range. Looks a lot more professional than pulling out the cardboard box my Shield Plus came in.
