Savior Equipment makes some nice ballistic nylon stuff. Pretty well thought out. They’re on Amazon.

 

I just got my wife the Savior Specialist range bag for Christmas. It is set up well for 3 pistols at a time. I use the Eberlestock Bang Bang range bag. I am a fan of the hard bottom/pistol storage. Other than that, I am a Pelican case/laser-cut foam guy.

 

I'm cheap. Plano and Flambeau, on a good sale, are my answers.
Plano makes a "4 pistol" case that is a great "one pistol plus accessories" case.
17.1" L x 14.86" W x 5.75" H.

Protector Series® Four-Pistol Case
Or on Amazon

Also, for a scoped gun, smaller but still large size, 13.50" L x 10.13" W x 3"H

I have one of the Case Club pistol case that I can put 5 pistols and magazines in. Top shelf stuff.

Case Club

 

if you might ever shoot steel challenge, consider a bag/rug that the magazines go in a separate compartment/pocket on the OUTSIDE of the main pistol compartment.
Some ive used:

Tandemkross bag however it is possible to eventually make a ruger too big for it with a cmore, tempest magwell and extended cocking handle
Smith and wesson branded bag works even better for about 25 bucks
and some generic one i got off amazon thats huge and holds two pistols but i just put a chunky CWA in it also like 22-25 bucks.

All but the tandem kross work well for 9mm also and can actually hold 2 22lr mags per sleeve. One of the 9mm sleeves likely can hold the can you intend to use also.

Even if you dont shoot scsa many ranges follow similar rules (or should) that you can handle ammo almost anywhere but pistols only when appropriate as in on the hot line or in the box, besides the really severe ones that don't let you do anything. Really either situations mags OUTSIDE of the main compartment is an advantage to this compliance and convenience.

I have some backpack rig I got cheap. It has a little garage in it with pistol rugs. Not only are they too small, the mags are held in a compartment INSIDE the main zipper. I have to find someone to give it away to sometime as its useless for me on 2 fronts.

 

I've been using Plano Protector single gun cases for years. Metal hinge pin, two snap latches that I doubt would ever wear out, one padlock hole. The single case will hold two of most of my guns, or one with several magazines. I've got five.
$10 these days, my first ones were $7.

Apache cases sold by Harbor Freight. Heavy Duty, 3 or 4 sizes available and have foam that is pre-cut . And not expensive.

 

I use inexpensive pistol rugs, preferably ones with handles. I can carry 6+ handguns in one hand with them.

 

We use these MTM boxes for 6 pistols $45, there are smaller ones.

Amazon.com

 

The Vault hard cases are the low-buck line from Pelican, and the V100 fits a single pistol nicely. I used a Kaizen tool box cutting knife to cut the top layer of foam by hand. Really nice case for the price.

 

Volquartsen has there hard case on clearance with cut outs. I will say it is very well build and interior thought out. Mine is a mini upper and Tandemkross lower. I did have to cut out the tip on the trigger guard but a stock one would fit nice.

 

I have two of the Savior cases off Amazon and they are great!

 

They make a nice case! Which ones do you have?

 

I’ve used Pelican cases for years.

 

I find this useful Plano X2 Range Bag with 1712 Ammo Can and Molded Pistol Case | Champion's Choice
That way i can take what ever pistol and can I want

 

Everything I've seen above is probably just fine for transport. I personally like the Pelican or Hardigg cases and have several. A less expensive alternative would be the Apache cases from Harbor Freight. HOWEVER, don't use these type foam-lined cases for storage. The foam retains moisture and moisture causes rusting. If you MUST use one of these foam-lined cases, first wrap the firearm in a silicone treated cloth which usually will help, although not certain.

There is a reason that manufacturers usually put firearms in a hard plastic case with no foam.

I’ve used Pelican cases for over 30 years without issues and I may go three or four years before I open a case. You don’t open the cases in rain storms and you don’t put the guns away dirty. They stack great in safes and protect against the elements along with keeping different kinds of guns organized.

 

I went with an inexpensive case from Northern Tool. I think it was $20 on sale.

It has the standard "pluck foam" interior - which I typically don't care for.

I found a trick that makes the foam more durable. Once you get the shape right, spray 3 or 4 coats of PlastiDip. It seals the foam and holds it together.

 

Yeah i use plastidip on all the foam, it toughens up non pluck also for heavy rifles. Kaizen foam is a pain to cute but even better for that stuff overkill for pistols imho.
I have alot of hard cases. I mostly just use them for large rifles with tons of things like multiple barrels, cans etc.
Pistols i use rugs since its easier for shoving into range bags and backpacks since its safety table to holster or used with rimfire and scsa from the barrel top.

 

Max is absolutely correct. Water and air-tight cases like Pelican and Nanuk, will not cause rust or allow moisture in. They are sealed and will survive being dropped in oceans. We trust our $40,000 cinema lenses in them, a $300 Ruger will store just fine as long as they aren't put away wet or dirty. I have guns stored in Nanuk cases for over 15 years without issue. If you are worried about storing long term in ANY hard case, use a few cheap desiccant packs in there, too, will not hurt anything at all.

I agree, but the issue could be more about the chemical composition of the foam or any out-gassing it may do over time that could damage blueing or other finishes.

 

Smith & Wesson makes the same mistake.

Berretta,

 

My most recent purchase a Feinwerkbau amazing enough came in a foam locking high end case.

My apology to the OP. I just dislike when people post information I know to be completely false.

Ya - you know it all for sure...

So it's not even a possibility?

Yes it is.

The new guns I have purchased are in a bag, and not sitting directly on the foam.

Maybe do a search - "Can long term storage in foam damage a firearm finish?" You will find plenty of people have damaged the finish on their firearms by storing in foam lined cases.

Midway says this - "Note: All gun cases are designed primarily for transportation and not for long term storage. Long term storage of a firearm in any case may result in corrosion and damage to the firearm finish."

What do they know?

You are wrong.

 

@jkv45, you win, you are the one with the experience. You store your guns anyway you want. I'm sure Colt, S&W , Beretta and all the other manufactures are wrong. But it's funny, in the care books that come with the guns not a single one of them says not to store the guns in the cases they give you. By all means put them in a Gun Rug that has no protection from moisture.

A quote from Pelican

"Pelican's heavy-duty gun cases are crushproof, waterproof & dustproof. Protect your firearms from every element with hard gun cases for travel and storage. "


Have a nice day.
