Whether you’re a tactical pro, a hunter deep in the backcountry, or just someone who values their gear, you understand the importance of protecting your firearms during transport and storage. When it comes to durability, security, and peace of mind, Pelican gun cases set the standard.
Why Choose a Pelican Gun Case?
Pelican has been synonymous with rugged, high-performance protective cases for decades. Originally designed for military and professional use, these cases have evolved into the go-to choice for gun owners who won’t compromise on quality.
1. Military-Grade Protection
Pelican gun cases are crushproof, dustproof, and waterproof. They're made with high-impact polymer that can withstand extreme conditions—from the baggage handlers at the airport to a muddy, wet hunting trip in the woods. Their O-ring seal and automatic pressure equalization valve keep your firearm safe from the elements.
2. Customizable Foam Interior
Every firearm is different, and so is every gun owner’s kit. Pelican cases come with pick-and-pluck foam, allowing you to create a snug, custom fit for your specific gun, magazines, optics, or accessories. Some models even offer pre-cut foam inserts for common setups like AR-15s or handguns.
3. Secure and Travel-Ready
With reinforced padlock holes, TSA-approved locks, and an optional stainless steel hasp protector, Pelican cases are ideal for flying with your firearm. They meet all airline and TSA requirements when properly locked and declared.
4. Sizes for Every Need
From compact pistol cases like the Pelican 1170 to the large Pelican V800 Vault Double Rifle Case, there's a size and style for every type of firearm. Whether you carry a single Glock or a scoped long-range rifle, there’s a Pelican case designed to fit your loadout.
