The prices have gone up. I think I paid $29.99 for this size on sale a couple of years ago....they were reg 64.99 at the time. Still a great deal though compared to some of the other options

They come in three sizes. the small one holds 4 guns.

Perfect for travelling by car to the range and back. For airplane travel though, I would only trust a Pelican or equivalent as they are much sturdier than the cases sold at Princess Auto.

The only downside I found with the small one is that it isn't wide enough front to back to accommodate 6" barrel revolvers.

Thanks for the heads up Andy. I will pick one up and check it out.

Thanks for the heads up.

Haha - yes the sticker insists on coming of in strips, and leaving the backing behind. I used a knife edge to scrape the remnants and Acetone to clean up the adhesive (I tested the plastic for Acetone tolerance first). If done carefully there are no scratches, no damage of any kind. Still a pain however.

good find, I ended up using a bunch of goo-gone i had in the back corner of my workbench, seemed to work OK without hurting the plastic.

I used penetrating fluid on my first 16" one. My second one as linked above didn't come with a sticker on it.

I got a chance to take the PA case to the range. It holds up to 6 pistols. Rather large but better than trying to carry many smaller cases. Plus I have always had a fear of forgetting a pistol at the range-one case, no ulcer.

The latches are solid and hold strong. The hinge is very good too. Overall, amazing for the $$. Maybe I'll get another as well.

Just bumping this thread cuz the 22" case is on sale for $49.99 til December 12.

 

[sailor723]

Only problem I've had with the PA case is the pluckable foam has started to fall apart where I made the cutouts so the pistols aren't separated from each other as well. The case is about 2 years old. I must check with PA to see if you can get replacement foam.

yes they are....and on the upper face too...sure they do it deliberately...basta*#s....

Sticker is a b**** to remove...

Lighter fluid works.

Ordinary paint thinner works very well. A little slower than some other solvents but nowhere near as volatile as acetone or lacquer thinner. It won't affect plastics. Just use a thinner soaked rag to wet the label & let the thinner work. Sometime takes two applications but the label comes right off. Any residual glue can be easily removed with some more thinner on a rag. This also works well for taking tape gum off the fridge door when you remove your kids old finger paintings and the scotch tape leaves reside behind. It wont affect the fridge finish.
