re: Question about flying/checking in a pistol

Ended up ordering a Pelican 1170 case for this, and will just use standard master locks with it. Read a good bit of reviews that sounded like quite a few people had done the same. I didn't really like the look of some of those small metal ones and sounded like some of them were over 5 pounds. Pelican weights around 2 pounds or so, although it is a little bit more bulky. Metal may be more secure, but ultimately I just need it to keep the tsa happy.
I also liked that they have the foam you can pull out to match exactly to the gun/magazines. You can also buy replacement foam in case you want to use it for different guns.
One other thing I considered is if I lost the key to one of those metal cases with a built in lock, I'd probably have to pry it open and ruin it (or pick the lock), but with the pelican I could just use some bolt cutters and buy a new lock.
Hope this helps for someone

I'm sure you'll be happy w/ the Pelican. I traveled once w/ a Pelican case and was pleased w/ it. Have you flown yet?
ETA: If someone's traveling w/ you, I'd suggest giving them a spare key for the locks.
