Pelican 1450 Case With Foam (Black)

This is a very serious case that I've had since 2011. The foam insert can be easily adjusted to fit anything. I use it for a Springfield .45 auto handgun and spare magazines. This case could really withstand a fairly high drop or other luggage stacked on or around it on a plane. It really is impervious to water and dust infiltration and can be double locked. Very secure cushioning for handguns and other types of delicate cargo. The outside skin of the case is bullet proof but not in the literal sense! If you droped the case with a hand gun or rifle Scopes, you are not going to damage anything! The cushion inside is very thick charcoal color foam that can be plucked out in cubes to fit you pistol or whatever!I opted for the pluck out foam cube interior, other configurations available. I really love this case for handguns and don’t worry about water and dust at all getting in this case. I think the price is well worth what you get. You may find a cheaper imitation but it won’t withstand what this case can.

I use Pelican cases for everything, have most of the various size cases. Find that the 1450 is the size case I use the most. These cases will survive a nuke. The Protector Series cases offer the most protection out of all the Pelican cases. Throw 40 Gram Silica Gel Dehumidifier Desiccant Canister into the case and you're good to go with no worries about moisture or anything else ruining what's inside. I use a label maker to label all my cases so I know what's inside without having to open it. I never use a label on any case that will go on a plane or any form of public transportation, less chance of theft.As an example I have one case dedicated to NBC Nuclear/Biological/Chemical) items, another dedicated to portable ham radios, another as a first aid kit, another for AR bolt carriers and spare parts, another for charging handles and gas blocks, another for NVG gear........list goes on

I have been using various sized Pelican cases for well over 10+ years and simply put they are built like tanks. I have traveled extensively with many of my cases and as anyone who flies a lot knows, there is no abuse like airline abuse. The outside of the cases get scuffed up but the cases remain in perfect working order. There are not many cases that can survive years of abuse at the hands of the airlines. My only complaint with pelican cases is in regards to the latches. The design requires a lot of effort to open the latches up and I have banged my knuckles many times opening them up. The good news is that this issue has been addressed with the new pelican cases as they have redesigned the latches making them far easier to open up. So this is no longer even an issue.You can purchase Pelican cases either with or without the foam insert. I prefer the cases with the foam as the foam is very easy to cut out thus making it extremely easy to design the interior any way you like. Basically you can use these case to store any of your sensitive equipment. To keep humidity out of the cases simply buy a small silica gel container. I recommend using the Peli Desiccant Silica Gel containers and you can find them right here on Amazon.Bottom line - Pelican cases are hands down some of the best cases being made today. The only other case I have personally used that can match the quality of a pelican case is a Hardig Storm case and those are more expensive so for the money, Pelican cases are definitely the brand to turn to. They are tough as nails and will protect your gear as well as any other case on the market.5 Stars!!

I have two of these Pelican 1450 cases -- one for firearms and one for my DSLR camera gear. This is an outstanding case for either purpose. For camera gear, the foam inserts are removable in little cubic square increments, making it very easy to configure the case to hold camera, lenses, flash, and other accessories. For pistols and revolvers most users will leave the foam inserts intact, as the case holds pretty much any handgun snugly, with just the right amount of pressure, without modification. I can pack a couple of pistols and some clips no problem.If all of that is not enough, I also use one of these for transporting portable amateur radio gear. It is perfect for this.For any purpose, firearms, radio gear, or camera gear, this case provides a secure and lockable way to transport one's equipment without worry of physical shock to the equipment, or problems with water or humidity. These cases are watertight and very safe against the elements. This is important to me, as I often transport my camera gear in an open dinghy in coves and harbors, where the wind is apt to spray water on everything. This case has been 100% proof against this. Firearms don't like water or moisture either, making this case an ideal solution for transporting one's firearms.Replacement foam inserts are readily available for this case, by the way, so one case can serve multiple functions.A quality Made-in-USA product. Highly recommended. RJB.

its what you expect from a pelican case.
