At that price (even with the 20% off coupon), why not the Plano All Weather series? Same idea, USA made, and, surprisingly enough, cheaper.

At $100 they're too ritzy for a hipoint.

at a hundred, they cost more than a hi point....don't they?

Hi point carbine prices have shot up. Beat up used ones I've seen sell for $300.

If they come out with the double stacked mag carbine, all bets are off on pricing.

Can that Chinasaw cut the PRICE?

$150? No thanks.

That’s the MSRP. I have seen coupons as low as $90

I think the current coupon is $110

It has to be securely cased. Reasoning is if they can spread the case enough to get a hand in, they could get a gun out and it isn't securely cased.

It's not like they're out there with a set of calipers measuring for 1.000", but if you only have a padlock on only one end, or have padlocks with 6" loops, or have one of the thinshell Plano cases that you can twist enough to get a gun out of without unlocking, then it isn't securely cased.

TSA is also given a lot of discretion on the ground about what does or doesn't get let in the plane.

So I'm just wondering if anyone has tried to get a gun out of one of these cases with padlocks installed and all of the latches open.

I just got it at lunch today. I had a raincheck and a $99 coupon.

There are only 2 lock points about 7" in from each end. While this positioning gives great strength to the seal at the ends, I do wish there was another locking point closer to the middle. I realize it would not work in the very center, because the lock would bang your knuckles when youd grab the carry handle.

I "locked" it with some zip ties (I will need to get some decent locks for it if I travel), and I tried to pry it open. I was only able to pry it open about 1/4" with my hands. you might to better with a pry bar but that would destroy it and I'm not willing to do that.

or for an additional $100 get a quality pelican to protect your investments during travel. if you don't need that much protection, buy a $20 hard case.

That's exactly how I look at it.
For serious need of protection, buy the right product.
For trips to the range, no need to spend $100.

Fortunately, the consumer has as many options as there are opinions these days.

If you don't travel I don't see the point. I sold my pelican case with a rifle because it was ridiculously too big to lug to the gun range. I dented my truck with it twice and smashed my thumb against the door frame. Rifle bags take up less room.
