Reddit mentions: The best gun holsters, cases & bags

u/cypherfox has a list of Canadian retailers. Not being Canadian myself, I don't know many.

Start with the most important thing: Face protection. Eye protection is always required for airsoft. Something ANSI Z87.1+ or higher impact rating. Could go with something cheap like Pyramex I-force or go with something really high end like Smith Optics Turbo Fan. I've also liked my Save Phace Grunts, but they do scratch easily. For lower face protection, the One Tigris mask is pretty standard. Comfortable solid protection. Could also rig something up with a Steel Mouth which doesn't provide as much protection but, in my opinion, looks nicer. If you think he'd prefer a full face mask, the Dye I4 is fantastic.

After that, I'd prioritize boots. I'm not much of an expert on these. I like my Merrel MOAB Mids. I've also heard good things about Salomon and Lowa. Just something with some decent ankle support.

After that, look into a carrying case for your gun. You could use the box it came in, but that's not really ideal. Personally I use a valken gun bag and have had no issues with my M4 and AK. Could also go with a hard case like a Plano.

Then you're getting into less important stuff. Load bearing gear, like a chest rig, plate carrier, or belt, is nice to have but not required. They're used to carry whatever. Magazines, water, food, tools, extra batteries, whatever. I'm not really sure what the market for that is like in Canada, but Condor is a good budget brand with plenty of styles.

Other than that, I can recommend Mechanix Gloves and Howard Leight Impact Sport

Without your actual budget and knowing exactly what he has or what he wants, I can't really get more specific or recommend much else.

For cheap/free accessories, here are my recommendations:

Find a local astronomy club and go to a few meetings. Astronomy clubs love new members, and they'll answer every question you have. If they have an open observing event, bring your telescope and you might even get to try a few of the accessories others have mentioned. You may get to see what Saturn looks like in your telescope with a 10mm EP and barlow before you buy.

Also, there are club members with old EPs for sale. Somebody's always upgrading their collection and looking for a new home for their old Plossls.

If you have basic woodworking skills, you can make a Denver Observing Chair for <$30. I think I made mine from these plans, but there are plans and how-to's all over the web. It beats hunching over the eyepiece for hours. Your back will thank you.

An accessory case is nice to have. Keep all your stuff in one place, and you won't accidentally forget something when you go out to observe. I use this 4-pistol case for $20 from Amazon.

If you're learning the night sky, get a planisphere and go out with it for 10 minutes once a week for some naked eye observing. Learn a new constellation each time. I think WV is in the 30-40 degree north range? Or for free you can download and print the map each month from SkyMaps.com

For getting started finding interesting stuff in the telescope, a book like Turn Left at Orion was a great help for me. Step-by-step instructions for star-hopping to the best and brightest stuff in the sky.

I pocket carry a SIG P938, and I have experience with holsters, because I feel like the only way to try them out is to buy them and use them. Unfortunately this makes for quite the collection of holsters in a box you don't use.

So, let's start with the bad.

---

Alabama Holster:

CONS:

The hook to catch your pocket on draw is OK .. it's not perfect.

It does little to conceal print shape.

I did not care for the grip of the kydex, it was just a weird draw.

It was expensive.

It took for-friggin-ever to get, their back log of orders was months deep.

PROS:

It's kinda neat I guess?

Hickok45 loved and endorsed it, shrug

Now let's talk what works really really well as an everyday solution.

---

DeSantis Nemesis:

CONS:

I can't think of one.

PROS:

The pocket hook that catches on draw is perfect.

It is a little sticky, (rubber texture) but not too bad. This too is great for the draw.

It's cheap, (like $16-$18) and readily available on Amazon.

Does a nice job on print and is a great everyday solution for slacks.

This is mine.

---

The DeSantis Super Fly:

I have this one as well.

For me it is far too fat, and far too sticky. Some people like it better.

Edit: Yeah, I edited. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

I use receiver blocks purchased from amazon... they work just fine. In the past couple of weeks I've acquired many tools I'd consider essential to the amateur AR builder. Here's what I got so far:

• Schuster Roll Pin Starter Punch Set: These two starters make putting the lower roll pins, gas tube and forward assist so easy. There are better ones out there, but these work just fine and fit the roll pins perfectly for $18.
  
  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/694883/schuster-ar-15-roll-pin-starter-punch-set-2-piece-steel
  
  
• Sears Craftsman 6pc. Roll Pin Punch Set: These are to finish pushing the roll pins in without slipping/mushrooming the pins.
  
  http://www.sears.com/craftsman-6-pc-roll-pin-punch-set/p-00943167000P
  
  
• 6pc Drive Punches from Harbor Freight: These are okay for starting off, but I use a Weaver gunsmithing set... I will upgrade these when I get more money. For now they sit in my punch roll for range repairs.
  
  
• Model 1 Pivot pin installation tool: For $4 you simply cannot beat this tool... I wanted the Wheeler Engineering version, but they were sold out everywhere. This thing really saves your ass when you're putting lowers together.
  
  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/920248/model-1-pivot-pin-detent-installation-tool-ar-15
  
  
• Upper receiver block: This thing works pretty well, but I will upgrade to a hinged one with the insert where the BCG/CH go.
  
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007LDRXWW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Lower receiver/mag block: Great for tightening down castle nuts, installing pivot pins and changing out stocks.
  
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005J13VCO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Tapco/Intrafuse AR-15 Armorer's Wrench: It's nice and has many features that are all labeled by stamping or engraving... the one marked "BEER" is a bottle opener, which is a nice touch. This tool has not let me down yet and although I'm not a fan of Tapco accessories, this thing is great.
  
  http://www.amazon.com/Tapco-Intrafuse-AR-Armorers-Tool/dp/B006PTMYHM/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1368590041&sr=1-1&keywords=tapco+armorers+tool
  
  
• US Peacekeeper Small Punch Roll: Very nice way to organize tools for the bench and on the go. It keeps all the AR-15 and pistol tools nice and tidy in my range bag.
  
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044YGCA0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
  The only other tools I keep in my bag are a Nylon/Brass hammer & a Lyman screwdriver with common bits in the handle.
  
  I hope you guys can use some of this info for future use... any suggestions are welcome.
  
  

This is what I use now. I got a great deal on it when someone at Amazon fucked up and listed it for $32, but even at $65 it's a great deal. Tons of room to expand your collection and hold misc gear. IMO it's more space efficient than a typical eyepiece case (which often has two layers of foam that only get utilized if you stand your eyepieces straight up, or deliberately stack them in two layers).

A rifle case lets you lay all of your eyepieces and equipment out flat without wasting much room, or requiring you to dig into multiple layers of foam to get gear at the bottom.

If the idea of a 36" rifle case isn't your thing, then the next best option is the Plano Extra Large Seal Tight case. I have two of the previous versions of these made by Doskocil that have lasted me 25 years (including the foam). They are the best value of this style of case you can get. The Harbor Freight 4800 is cheaper, but the foam is really fragile and will start pulling apart over time.

I don't mean to be one of those guys that suggests exactly what you said you didn't want... but I'm going to anyways.

I assume you've flown before? Ever had a window seat? See how they treat luggage? I assume you have a pretty nice AR. Maybe a handgun and some other gear to go with it? You can get a pelican case for $200. Okay locks will run you $7/piece.

$215. Consider that insurance. Also makes for a nice way to transport your gun to the range from now on.


Pelican 1750 - Amazon

Abus 55/40 - Amazon

Note: You want locks that are KA or keyed alike. I like Abus because they are better than the Chinese made crap (although still nothing compared to abloy) for about the same money.

Also the Plano case is $75 cheaper. If you absolutely must then okay. Just make sure to buy the one that looks like a pelican case and NOT one of the >$100 ones. Those bend and fold and will break.

Plano - Amazon

I have a Kel Tec P3AT. I know that doesn't get a lot of love, but it has been a reliable gun for me. It's made in the US and has a warranty even if you buy it used, if it is damaged by any means, including your own negligence, they'll fix or replace the gun.

All-in-all, I like Kel Tec. And remember that 99% of holsters that fit the LCP fit the P3AT.

As for holsters for pocket pistols, I prefer pocket holsters that prevent printing. I like keeping my pistol in my back pocket where I would normally keep my wallet, for several reasons that I won't waste your time going into unless you ask. So the holsters I recommend for that, even if you go with an LCP, are these:

Talon Wallet Holser, which I currently carry.
DeSantis Trickster, which I have never used before but looks nice and is DeSantis
DeSantis Nemesis, which I carried for many years, but I felt like it printed a bit too much
Garrison Grip orGUNizer, which is super cheap but looks well made. Haven't used it.

https://imgur.com/a/xksFb - Asking $190 shipped - Forgot to photo it but this case is included: https://www.amazon.com/MTM-Single-Handgun-6-Inch-Revolver/dp/B000H8ZWYE/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1506201840&sr=1-1&keywords=mtm+case - F* yeah even the CASE is USA MADE!!!

Hey guys, don't use my 10mm rig very much and looking to get it to a new home. If you want USA made but don't want to spend heady amounts here is a good bundle. I have used it only about 20 times, definitely under 30! The whole setup cost just over $400 new (rig was $140, nail was $160 but some places sell it for $195, cap was $90, travel case was $15). The nail is in great shape, always cleaned with a qtip immediately after using, obviously used though. No chips or other cosmetic imperfections anywhere. The cap very slightly different than the one in the screenshot but I paid the same amount for it back when they were called Capstars. The rig is killer and hits like a champion. I have 4 other rigs i usually use and this was only for special occasions when I had people over and never left the house! Usually I use an enail and rarely broke out the torch.

I'm hoping to sell it as a bundle, but i'd sell the rig itself for $100 shipped, or i'd sell the nail and cap as a combo for $150 shipped. ** $10 off if you dont need the travel case, and i will wrap it in tons of bubble wrap.

I know my camera phone pics suck but if you want better photos of anything let me know.

First, carrying a firearm without one in the chamber makes that firearm no more useful than a stapler.

But I understand your concern so there are a couple things to remember. First, because the LCP is intended for pocket carry the trigger pull is made a little heavy. No worries and I like it fine but that means the trigger will not fire just because it is "touched". The trigger must be pulled.

So in order to be safe simply protect the trigger by making sure the holster sufficiently covers the trigger and if you pocket carry (like I do) make sure there is nothing else in that pocket EXCEPT the pistol in a quality holster that covers the trigger.

I pocket carry the LCP and have been for over two years and I never worry about an accidental discharge. Why? Because if that gun fires and was not intended to then it is not an "accidental" discharge but rather a "negligent" discharge. A person can sufficiently protect from that happening by making sure the trigger is always sufficiently covered.

Now I have a DeSantis Nemesis like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/DeSantis-Nemesis-P3AT-Ambidextrous-Black/dp/B00266AHQ8

and feel 100% confident that my gun will not fire unless I specifically intend for it to do so.

Well because it is $250 retail does not mean it's worth $250 (think of when you go to a head shop and something has a price tag of $250 and you can easily haggle it down to $100). I could have just used my $50 18mm GonG bong (that is honestly nicer than the hydratubes) with the unit inverted if I really wanted the water filtration. For me the wait ended up not really being worth the hydratube. Like I said, if you have other vaping options that you are happy with and can wait the month+ (if and when they re-drop the item) go for it. I said pretty good deal, not amazing by any means. To me an amazing deal would be money off the actual unit.

Also: VapeXhale charges $125 for their TravelBuddy carrying case. You can buy the same exact thing on amazon for $12. Another example of retail vs. actual value.

Getting an actual keyboard specific case is great but they're kinda expensive and there aren't many options. A gun sock works perfectly as a soft case and they're super cheap. And it fits a Poker II perfectly.

http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Company-Knit-Handguns-14-Inch/dp/B0013LM2P6/ref=pd_sim_sg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BEAVR992SVTFYT8HVV3

Yes, it's specifically this CYA holster from Amazon. It's pretty decent, much like /u/kittendestroyer69 mentioned. I only use it to (mainly) appendix carry or kidney carry as it does move just a little and prints worse for me when carrying around 3/4/5 o'clock. I'll likely move to something with a little more natural bend and taper to the body, like a leather or leather/kydex combo or something.

But I do love this holster for slim appendix style carry, I'm a fan of lightweight, minimal, and sleek. Just easily leaves a mark on your skin if you're walking exceptionally long distances or doing any running. Easy to adjust the tightness of the holster as well as the cant angle with an Allen wrench.

At first, I didn't think I would get more than two rifles, so I opted for the Plano foam-padded case. I bought two so I could lock up both rifles (from the kiddos, not thieves), and not take up a ton of room in my house. They're very good cases, and I would recommend them for traveling (either road trips or flying). If you get one of these, don't trust the built in locks, and buy some decent (long bolt) padlocks. Negative: They're not great for taking to the range. They're bulky, and awkward if you need to set them out of the way while you're shooting.

Of course, I bought a third rifle on an impulse, and it came with something like this for free. I actually ended up using this more than the hard cases for range trips since it's much more compact/maneuverable, and just carries the essentials (a few magazines and a good-sized pouch for tactical Skittles). For a one-rifle person, this is probably the best value, and more practical for most people's needs.

That said, few of us actually stay one-rifle gun owners for long. I just punted and bought a $100 metal gun cabinet from Walmart to control access. The nice Plano cases are now just used for traveling rather than storage.

My favorite, though, is a double carbine bag. Even if you only have one rifle (now), it's a great bag with plenty of extra storage. It will fit two sets of eye and ear protection and a lot of pre-loaded magazines along with two rifles. I didn't think I'd ever use the backpack straps until a few weeks ago when we decided to find a place to shoot in the National Forest that required a little hiking off the road. The bag really saved the day, and made the whole experience a lot more comfortable while packing about 40 pounds of rifles + ammo.

Just my $0.02.

Here's my suggestion, two pelican cases locked with padlocks and secured with steel cable via the same padlocks to something sturdy or difficult to move such as a bed frame. Secure the cases with locks and cables and slide them under your bed. You'll need to measure your guns to find the right size case but a standard pelican rifle case can easily fit two long guns and run you $200 seen [here] (http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1750-Case-Rifle-Black/dp/B000AOMA1S/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1377658619&sr=1-1&keywords=pelican+rifle+case). Or use the Plano knockoffs ([here] (http://www.amazon.com/Plano-108421-Guard-Tactical-42-Inch/dp/B0029KDHRM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1377657862&sr=8-6&keywords=pelican+rifle+case)), I haven't used them but they are $125 and should fit your needs. You could also go with one big ass pelican case for all four guns, seen [here] (http://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1740-Travel-Vault-Watertight/dp/B003HGUIEW/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1377658525&sr=1-6&keywords=pelican+rifle+case) for $368

They are waterproof, a little fire-resistant and go straight to the range with no repacking. If someone is determined to remove these cases and has enough time and tools they probably will, but these should thwart a smash & grab. A sturdy steel cable and four good locks shouldn't run you more than $150 + cases = well under your budget. You could also use cheaper cases for the same basic solution but you get what you pay for.

Hope this helps.

Thought I would share a belly band I just purchased and tweaked a bit to suit my needs...

Here's the review I posted on Amazon:
This thing is great after some modifications, especially for the price! We'll see how well it holds up long-term.
I didn't like the retention strap or how the elastic held the gun in place, so I cut it off. I decided to modify the belly band a bit by shoving one of my Concealment Express IWB holsters into the elastic slot, and took off the kydex holster clip then screwed it back onto the kydex THROUGH the elastic so it would hold super securely, be fully encased in Kydex, and have the retention of a full kydex holster.

Very nice and comfortable to use now that it's been modified. I just put on the band, and then pull up my athletic shorts and use the clip over them as I would normally do on my EDC belt.

$25 on Amazon (+ CE kydex holster cost)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DEGYTC6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've done 2 different carry options.
standard IWB and swapping out the belt clip with a UtiliClip. You can snap it to your pants and the belt covers the clip and there's enough gap to tuck your shirt between the clip and holster.
Or
What I have had the greatest success with, a belly band type holster. I use the ComfortTac. It works great. WAY more comfortable than any IWB I've ran.

I have this exact case design from Flambeau that I got on Amazon for sale for $30 a little while back seen here: https://www.amazon.com/Flambeau-Outdoors-Tactical-Case-Large/dp/B00C3MFDKK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523410215&sr=8-1&keywords=flambeau+ar+case

With that said, there are a total of 6 holes around the outside edge of the case that you can put locks on. Two on the back corners, two on the front corners, and two on the inside of the handle area. The holes aren't too big so I wouldn't expect to put any type of huge heavy duty lock on it. I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/ORIA-Combination-Padlock-Material-Employee/dp/B01GKSDOYY/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref=yo_pop_d_yo_pop_d_pd_t2

And they work perfectly. Not gonna stop someone from getting inside if they really wanted to, but it's a good preventative lock to deter lazy robbers / curious kids. Unless of course you choose an easy code that they'd know lol.

For less than half the price I am extremely happy with the Plano Gun Guard All Weather case. It's out of stock on amazon but they get them in regularly.

Pluckable foam, great protection against rain and mud, doesn't bend and warp like cheaper plastic cases.

I use Pelican cases at work to store camera equipment and while the Plano isn't as durable as Pelican it's 90% as good for a fraction of the cost. I own other plano gun cases that were $10-20 that suck - but this one is great.

I'll get some other photos posted in a min.

EDIT: Photos

Wanted a bit more protection for my M4 with the replica EOTech mounted on it so I decided to grab a nice Plano case off of Amazon. The pluck foam comes out easy and I took it out in large chunks in the event I need to fill gaps. The case itself it built like a tank and feels like it can take a good beating. I was surprised how much I could stuff into it considering it's the 36 inch case! Here's the link if anyone is interested https://www.amazon.ca/Plano-108360-Guard-Tactical-36-Inch/dp/B0029KKWT8?ie=UTF8&keywords=gun%20case&qid=1454295965&ref_=sr_1_5&sr=8-5

What's in the case?

1 ICS CXP-08 with a replica EOTech and a vertical grip mounted

1 PEQ battery box

1 sling

8 ARES Amoeba midcap magazines

1 TM USP Compact + 1 additional magazine

[Lots of good reviews] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E2217I6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_fi.jzb4JVY3CG)

[Free shipping with code FSA1705] (https://www.natchezss.com/skb-i-series-5041-surplus-rifle-case.html)

Both of these cases have been featured on r/gundeals. They have a lot of great stuff over there.

The bottom link is a surplus case and the one I own personally. It is very tough and sturdy and a great choice if you plan on traveling. The top Plano is a bit more cost effective for storage and trips to and from the range.

What case to get depends on what you want to do with it.

Going from safe to range and not much else? Soft case bag, I like the one that rolls out into a shooting mat.

Going on a road trip and want something more heavy duty to be bounced around in the car and put a solid lock on it? This one does the job for me, there are dozens that serve this tier of hard case though.

Packing a really pricey gun on a long hunting trip and you want it to be able to survive WWIII? Pelican. Pelican is basically the god tier hard case, with the price tag to match. I got this on sale for $170 a few months ago, this is where my hunting rifle lives whenever it comes out of the safe because I care about my hunting rifle a lot more than I do my AR.

We're using Sprint hotspots through Mobile Beacon which was through Tech Soup. We are actually a pretty rural library and we got 5 and they have been out since we got them at the beginning of the summer. A lot of patrons return them then automatically put another hold on them which is fine. We have dummy boxes for when they are actually on the shelf (I just used packaging tape around the boxes the hotspots came in and a label I made in Canva) and they're actually kept behind circ. I actually got small handgun cases for them so they can be beat up pretty bad and not hurt the hotspot (here). The barcode and everything is on the case. There are some instructions but most hotspots go to me or our tech person if there's an issue.

We haven't had many problems except for two things. For some reason they keep resetting themselves back to factory settings. I get one once a month. Easy fix though so not too bad. We also have an issue where they seem to freeze and they emit a signal but the LCD screen doesn't work and people can't connect. Fix is to let the battery run out then restart it. So not bad.

Circ policies are only our library (we're in a consortium), 1 week circ, $5/day late fee, $100 replacement, holds are allowed (though not when there are holds which are always), 18+.

All the recommended slings should do the job fine. I also enjoy the Magpul MS1 $33 because I can easy adjust it to take cuff stabilized shots. If you've never experienced the stability you can get from your circulation getting cut off, than I'd recommend you try it out lol

Is she primarily a pistol shooter, or a rifle shooter? For handgun days, I'm pretty happy with my Blackhawk Sportster Deluxe. My only gripe is that it's more than a little wide and bulky, but the plus side of that is that it'll hold just about whatever you'd want to pack in there.

For rifles, I strongly recommend the NcSTAR Double Carbine Case (or the Double Subgun Case for AR pistols and similarly-sized guns). I have the 42" bag, as well as the subgun bag, and I have zero complaints. The bags aren't excessively bulky, but they have more than enough storage space, and I'm a big fan of their general design.

I saw those also. Grey, Red, Green for Normal, Berzerkers, and Toxic. Looked really well done. That's a level of mastery of painting I don't have quite yet to get it to look right. Had a very Romero feel to it.


If you don't have a mini storage solution, I'd recommend a 15 dollar Plano pistol case for the minis.

http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Protector-Four-Pistol-Case/dp/B000P3WPKK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406666714&sr=8-2&keywords=plano+pistol+case
One will securely and safely hold all of season 1 retail, zombie dogs, companion dogs, all season 2 base heroes, and half the zombies from season 2 and toxic city mall. I have 3 of them and 2 should be more than enough for everything that is Season 1 and 2. It will take up a lot more space but if you paint you need to keep them from bouncing around and ruining all that hard work. I love these cases and will probably get more for other mini based games.

This thing hides the G19 really well and feels great at 5'oclock and appendix. Favorite holster and for 50 bucks it was a good deal.

http://www.amazon.com/Galco-Triton-Kydex-Holster-Right-hand/dp/B001UOHLCU

That would probably be okay, but I don't feel comfortable with "probably". I would just spend an extra $10-15 and buy a dedicated pistol case that's separate from your range bag. Something like this or this. And yes, you would need to put a lock or two on it.

It came on another shield holster that I had but didn't accommodate the TLR6. I think the manufacturer on that one was DFW, got it off amazon. The only reason I liked it better was that it had a little ridge down near where it hooks under your belt that made it a lot easier to get a grip on and unclip it from the belt to take the holster off. The holes for the mounting bolts were close enough to the same spacing that they swapped right between each other with no issue.

EDIT - sorry, the company was CYA, not DFW. Here's a link to the holster that I swapped the belt clip from: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A9BSSW6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They also sell the belt clip individually: https://www.amazon.com/CYA-Supply-Co-1-75-Holster/dp/B01IW1O1IU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1500053556&sr=1-1&keywords=CYA+belt+clip

Darksim tweeted this a few weeks ago so I picked up one for $8 at the time. I really like it, it rolls up really nice.

You can get a hard shell Plano that will fit you perfectly for 24 dollhairs on Amazon and get dat free shipping with Prime

I bought a rifle case to travel with. I thought it would offer more protection than the box or a board bag. This is the one I got:
Plano All Weather Tactical Gun Case, 42-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E2217I6/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apip_45jEn9AEXWpbd

It's almost perfectly sized; you need to take out the bottom layer of foam but it still fits and feels well protected.

Regarding cost, I was lucky that bags were included in my ticket cost. However I definitely see how it would suck if you had to pay an extra baggage charge.

I picked up the 42" Plano Tactical case on sale a Big5 last weekend. I really like it, but agree that a soft case is good unless you need the protection of a hard case. I like the soft case MidwayUSA has available for about $40 bucks.

Midway Soft Case - MidwayUSA

Plano Hard Case - Amazon

Found it!

NCSTAR VISM Double Carbine Case. Comes in 36" and 42" sizes, and a handful of color choices which vary in price by a few bucks. The 42" Brown/Tan was about $50 for me and I've been really happy with it so far. Lots of straps & buckles, seems like solid construction, and it does better as a backpack than I expected when fully loaded down. It's not built for long distance comfort like high-end backpacking gear, but that's just not what it's for, so BFD. Great bargain IMO.

I wear athletic shorts 95% of the time. I found a super simple belly band that works perfectly with my s&w shield. Carry it every day under my athletic shorts.

Here's a similar pistol: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=460293797

What you have is probably worth quit a bit of money, treat it well. Don't ever try to restore it, clean it, scrub it, ect*. You might consider replacing the rag with this: http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Company-Knit-Handguns-14-Inch/dp/B0013LM2P6

My fiancée got This when she started carrying her sccy. It works well for her (she's on the small side 5'4 115 lbs wet) in just about any position she put it. She's worn it for a long time (around 10 hours) and never heard a complaint.

BTW good choice in the sccy. We loved hers and actually ended up buying another one. In our experience they've been stellar performers and reliable like more expensive ones on the market.

I've pretty much got the same setup, the stupid $14 QD sling adapter for that stock is nice with an mlok QD sling adapter. That or a QD buffer plate to use with a QD sling. Comes off in one second and stays low profile. This sling is a $13 copy of the magpul ms1, feel free to spend the $50 if you like. It quick adjusts to you can sling it on and tighten it up with one hand while wearing it.

Battlefoam is nice, but it’s more for large armies. If you only have a small number of models to transport, you’d probably be better off with something like this case.

It's free shipping on $100 worth of items before discount. So it's only $50 to get free shipping. Here is the same case on Amazon for $72 shipped.

You can use this ($9 on amazon) and add whatever lock you want that'll fit. I just got one yesterday. The plastic seems pretty good for how cheap it was.

This is what I bought recently:

Plano Single Scoped Rifle Case

It can carry two rifles without scopes, or one with (or possibly two, if you've got small rifles or scopes, YMMV). Airline approved. Equipped with three locking points (center and both ends). Very light, but still strong construction. Cheap (<$30US before shipping).

Granted, this is a cheap case, but it'll do exactly what you need it to do and more, for roughly about a third the cost of the VFC model I found. Only plusses I found on the VFC were the metal latches, and the slightly more appealing appearance.

Here ya go, I use this Plano case with my RPR and LOVE it. Only $66 too. It fits perfectly with the stock folded.

Plano All Weather Tactical Gun Case, 42-Inch (Previous Generation) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E2217I6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.esjDb9GJ5F50

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E2217I6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this and it works great. I like how the hard case offers some protection. I travel with my board by air a few times a month and after carrying it around I think spending a little more for a wheeled case would be totally worth it.

https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Army-Hard-Wheeled-Case/dp/B01BN627VO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1493491359&sr=8-7&keywords=wheeled+rifle+case

I've tried lots of holsters...and I can assure you that leather backing will be more comfortable than any smaller kydex holster that looks like this ... https://www.amazon.com/Galco-Triton-Kydex-Holster-Right-hand/dp/B001UOHLCU

Just know that even if you tuck your shirt in, the belt clips will still be visible on the outside of your belt. So if you have to tuck your outer most layer in, people can see the holster clips. Pocket carry might be more suitable for you if you work in an office environment or something.

Looks like a Plano 36".

Good case. Foam is okay--turns out better if you use a hot wire cutter and Plastidip afterwards.

Has basic integral locks, but slots for two external ones. I put two of these, keyed alike.

Overall a good case.

Gun cases, old beer cases, guitar or other instrument cases, used suitcases all make good storage for books. Guitar cases and wood beer cases also look nice as decorative pieces (especially for a college student). Used ones are often at yard sales or salvation army/goodwill. And you can slide them under your bed and there are also lots of places where you can buy foam or straps to secure the books.

"Best rifle sling" on amazon, it's like $20.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JK1XW4G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6SdDyb1TZZ9D2

> My wife suggested a divided tea box to keep my eyepieces in; I like that idea.

It seems odd, but a four pistol case works great. It has foam you can cut to customize how you like.

Only $14, just like the magpul 2 point that has an attatchment for single point. Great strap, hasn't failed me yet

STI Mil-Spec Webbing 2 Point Duty Sling with Fast-Loop Adjuster

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JK1XW4G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JZzmDb8HHGC5P

This sling is on all my rifles, it is super comfortable and durable.

I'm assuming you have a a poopy Plano case like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Plano-10470-Guard-Single-Rifle/dp/B0029KH9FS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1527487344&sr=8-8&keywords=Plano+Gun+Guard+All+Weather+Tactical+Series+Rifle+Case

But Plano makes a pretty sturdy case as well with a gasket for water protection, removable foam bits and from the looks of it lockable latches. Under $70.

https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Weather-Tactical-Case-42-Inch/dp/B07BD2J2YS/ref=pd_day0_200_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07BD2J2YS&pd_rd_r=Y3NECVTCDXBFB9GAMP1J&pd_rd_w=0hCts&pd_rd_wg=hRGKY&refRID=Y3NECVTCDXBFB9GAMP1J

Flambeau Outdoors Tactical AR Case, Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C3MFDKK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eax.Ab4YA4HMZ

I can fit 2 broken down ARs and like 10 mags in here. It gets a little tight but works great.

Thanks for your suggestions guys, was leaning towards a soft bag, but the more I think about it a hard case would probably be a better idea because I will also use it for storage at home..I have handguns for self defense so not really worried about getting to it quickly. Anyways, I was looking at this flambaeu case, it's cheaper than plano but I don't know much about it. Anyone have an experience with this brand?

So... we're looking at $48-$49 shipped, why not just get this on Amazon? Assuming tihs is the same one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00XRHGMXC/ref=olp_f_primeEligible?ie=UTF8&mv_color_name=all&mv_size_name=all&f_new=true&f_primeEligible=true

36" is from $46, and 42" is from $49; both shipped Prime. Maybe it would be worth it if you get the free shipping coupon like OP mentions.

Screen protectors are highly recommended. I have micro scratches on my screen after extended use because I didn't use one.

The actual antennae or a cheap one from eBay or Amazon is your best bet.

For a case, I suggest this : MTM Single Handgun Case for up to 6-Inch Revolver (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H8ZWYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_q4uJxbZQCPPMS

I got the 239SAS to be my EDC in warm weather. Its pretty narrow and compact so it conceals well. It does have some weight to it though since its a metal frame. I carry it in either my Bellyband holster or n82 Professional. I've never carried a 2022 so I can't compare there but I do have a 229 Legion I carry which is definitely wider and heavier.

I really like these as a budget alternative to the VTAC quick-adjust sling. $20 all day long, great construction (tubular nylon instead of flat straps), and if you don't want to use the quick-adjust loop, you don't have to.

Add these if you have standard swivel studs or these if you have QD mounts - both are under $10.

Add a light mount.

A light

A dot.

A sling.

and good ammo.

And you’ve got yourself a good HD setup.

Thank you!

I tried this one first: CYA Supply Co. IWB Holster Fits: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9MM/.40 S&W - Veteran Owned Company - Made in USA - Inside Waistband Concealed Carry Holster https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A9BSSW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tswQAbZ9HWMNS

But while it was functional, it was much worse for comfort since it has a hard molded kydex interior shape that makes small point contact with the body. The Alien Gear is certainly more comfortable than that.

I have an original LCP that I carry in a [DeSantis Nemesis] (https://www.amazon.com/DeSantis-Nemesis-P3AT-Ambidextrous-Black/dp/B00266AHQ8?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-ffsb-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00266AHQ8). It works great for me. The material is a bit flexible but still rigid enough that the trigger is protected.

Pretty sure you don’t buy a certain sling for your barrel length because they’re adjustable.

Idk what a bargain is to you but I like this and this

Here is a suggestion. I don't own it, but I've heard great things and you can't beat the price.

I think this might be the same as the one another Redditor mentioned, but I have this one, and it fits/works great.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00E221A88/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KDSGDbS50F6ZX

I had been looking at cases for a while (bag style and hard case) but couldn't find anything for a reasonable price. I was about to buy a tackle box and foam and do something similar to OP's until I found this --> http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Protector-Four-Pistol-Case/dp/B000P3WPKK

I bought it at acadamy for $14. It's not heavy duty, but for the price and size it is the best i found for under $30. I can post pic's of mine if anyone wants to see

This is a perfect fit. Very snug. Very protective.

This is a really nice, cheap clone of the magpul MS4. Feels very durable and a good option if you want a 2 point convertible sling that attaches via QD.

Do you think you could fit an AR pistol in there as well? I bought a cheapo $25 Plano case and it just barely fits my 16" AR and my AR pistol laid inversely but I want something a little bit nicer.

If you think you will ever take more to the range, consider getting something a bit larger than what you currently need.

As GreenTurtle mentioned, the midway bags are popular and decently priced.

I personally got a cheap travel bag from Walmart with roller wheels and a collapsible handle. I keep my handguns and mags in this case:

http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Protector-Four-Pistol-Case/dp/B000P3WPKK

I put that hard case inside the big travel bag's main compartment. My other assorted items are kept in the few pockets, and some in the main compartment outside the hard case. Keeping smaller cases inside 1 large container keeps it highly adaptable, and having roller wheels is good for the days when I bring a LOT of ammo.

My bigger bag is like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Olympia-Luggage-Pocket-Rolling-Duffel/dp/B001TK2XCI

US PeaceKeeper P21111 Small Punch Roll for Armorer's Tools

It is perfect for my needs and you really can't beat the price.

The case I'm looking at is 125$.. still less than the SKS ha ha ha.

But it's because my case will be my storage. I want it to be somewhat secure. I will be using locks on the gun itself inside to.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E221A88/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a little big but great to throw in the camper and go http://i.imgur.com/x7AlNDX.jpg

For smaller stuff like marbles and pendants I got one of these at a local sporting good store, I also cut the third not eggshell section they give you to fit a mini tube, torch and accessories I use to take to friends houses. I haven't purchased cases for my bigger pieces yet, but I'm looking at the Seahorse cases they seem like a decent, cheaper alternative to Pelicans, but then again I'm not super sure this is an area I want to skimp out on.

A hard rifle case would probably be what you're looking for.
Something like this. The foam lined interior would hold things in place pretty well when it's all closed up. Plus it looks vanilla yet is intimidating.

If you were set on customizing it, you can carve compartments out of the foam and strap stuff down by cutting slits in the foam and sliding some leather straps with grommet buttons through the slits. Very easy to DIY customize.

If I were to guess, this one. $25 seems to be a pretty good deal.

If you don't mind a soft case, there's a [gun sock] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013LM2P6/) that's pretty popular with the 60% crowd. I use it to take my AP1 to the office.

Know of any USGI style slings that come with "modern" hardware? I'm looking around, and I like the cheap cost and functionality of the basic USGI sling, but I'd have to replace the clips with QD points, which are what I want to use. I can't tell if something like this cheap magpul knockoff would work as a loop, but it comes with the hardware I need.

Any ideas?

If you dont have a gun case you should probably buy one if thats what you are talking about.

Id suggest a Plano 42in if your a cheap bastid: http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Weather-Tactical-Case-42-Inch/dp/B00E2217I6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462998489&sr=8-1&keywords=plano+42

or a Pelican 1750 if you like your cases with caviar: http://www.amazon.com/PELICAN-1750-000-110-Long-Rifle-Case/dp/B000AOMA1S/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1462998488&sr=1-1&keywords=pelican+1750

The only gun upgrade you should do right now is a sling, grab a romy sling off k-var, and learn how to use it. Slings are awesome.

No love for Plano cases? I use this 42" hard case, and since it's right around $100 delivered, it is quite a bit cheaper than a comparable Pelican case. Of course it does not offer near the protection of a pelican, but for the money I am satisfied.

I would recommend getting this "small punch tool roll" from Amazon.

I have CYA kydex holsters for all of my CCWs now. Love those holsters. They’re good, durable, comfy, and fairly priced... you can get them for any major gun, I have one for my G19 and one for my Shield

If you are looking at MS4 check out this one on amazon. Basically a copy of the ms4. I just picked one up and am very happy for the price,$14. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01JA9E7LY/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1494614428&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gun+sling

Judging from this, and knowing that the strap is about 1.6 inches high (40mm for standard ski goggle straps); I would confidently wildly guesstimate that the DK2 is about 4.1 inches high.

I wonder if this, this, or this might work as cheap options? Althought they all seem to be cutting it very tight on the depth. I am assuming the DK2 would sit in the case like it would sit on a table (like the first photo above), and not facing upward like they packaged it in the DK1 case, since there are a lot less case options that would fit it that way (without being huge)...

I have one of those ebay metal cases for my photo gear. I'm guessing you would be able to fit two full DK2 kits in it. They look decent and are affordable, but I find mine to be a bit heavy (5.5 pounds empty) and a bit awkward to carry sometimes (if I load it heavy specially). Even though they look decent, there is something about the build quality that feels slightly cheap when you handle it; specially the locking hinges. Nothing terrible in particular, but it just doesn't have that awesome quality feel of expensive cases like an HPRC, a Pelican or a Seahorse would have. But it does get the job done.

We should really know the actual DK2 dimensions (plus the accessories) before choosing a case. The hardest dimensions to accommodate will be the depth, since most small cases are also shallow.

This case is a Pelican knock off, and only $117. I've seen the Voodoo's just short of that. I don't specifically need/want either, it just seem to be what most people were using based on pictures I saw and some recommendations.

I live with just me my wife and some cats. I'm not really looking to keep someone out (like kids), just keeping it clean, safe, and out of the way, and would preferably double as transportation to and from the range.

Edit: fixing the link

OWB or IWB? IWB, I love my Galco Triton. PRices seem to have gone up since I bought mine a few years ago, but here it is for $43 shipped.

I've used everything from a tactical shopping bag, to the original box, to a range bag, to a Pelican case. Just depends on what I'm taking, the area I'll be, and what comes to hand.

I've had a case flip out the back of the truck then ran over it. Pretty happy with my purchase.

This is the bellyband https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DEGYTC6/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_uR6xzbJ84QXGG

What do you normally wear? I'm normally either in flannel or those sheer blouses with a cami underneath. Patterns help break up the shape so that does a lot for me. And the double layers I get from the sheer and cami are enough to effectively hide any printing. I have the hardest time with solid colors so when I have to wear that I gravitate towards darker ones.

How about a pistol case? Seriously.

Edit // Changed link // I kind of like that one. It has two holes in the case for locks. A 3DS, some games, and a charger is pricey and worthy of a lock. The games would be stored under the foam. It can be lifted out. Or you can slice little slots in the foam with a razor blade and insert the carts.

Man that's a good idea. I might get that for my own because I have a grip, too.

I've been looking at this one. It's not quite as tacticool as the $50-70 slings, but you can use whatever attachment options you want (quick disconnects, HK clips, laundry pins), has the ability for fast length adjustment with a large thumb loop, and has quality tube webbing so it doesn't dig into your neck. For the price, it seems tough to beat.

Maybe a pistol case? They can be pretty cheap for a basic one, the spendier ones have "pluck out" foam if you wanted each bottle to have it's own home. But I think a basic one would be fine.

That Pelican that leftnose linked is a much nicer case, but I picked this one up when it was on sale for $60. It protected my gun well on the few flights its been on.

I also used these locks with it. 3 locks that can all open with the same key.

I was in the same boat a couple of years ago. The only thing that I added beyond more mags was a two-point sling. I purchased this one off of amazon for $20 and it's well built and has served me well.

I didn't go too crazy on accessories and spent more money on ammo and range time.

i love my plano gun guard, this is an incredible price too:

I bought the 52" one on sale from cabelas for like $189. Its regular $240.

I got one of the cookie cutter Kydex style ones from Amazon. Works pretty well for me.

I use this for most if that. If you’re looking for more of a pouch, Maxpedition was what I always used prior to that. Rytans cordura pouch is excellent, too!!

Just fyi, but I use this gun sock for my Minivan and it works super well. Couldn't be happier

DeSantis Nemesis

Looks like a wallet in jeans or shorts front pockets.. I'm sure the back would be the same just not as comfortable. The outer texture of the holster grips the inside of the pocket well so the gun will be the only thing coming out on a draw.

These are by far the best cases to carry tanks, and those akward shaped models in.

I don't use it in the summer because it's just too hot to run with for me. I have yet to come up with a good summer solution for running. Even sticky holsters get slick with the amount I sweat.

If you still need a holster for it I highly recommend this one. It has served me really well this last year or so.

Note the reviews that say it works well for 60% keyboards. I'm hoping the Calibur doesn't stick out too too far. It's knit, so it should stretch a bit.

CORRECTION:

I ordered this one, same price about, but better case.

I use a plano 4 pistol case a little large, but I am sure my DX18 won't get damaged and it has room for other gear too.

I have a pelican 1750 and they are only $200 prime on amazon. It has wheels which makes it REALLY nice.

Here it is Allen Company Knit Gun Sock for Handguns (14-Inch) Fantastic deal for $6.57, fits the Poker II like a glove.

Edit: Not much space for a cord or any other accessories, just space for the keyboard.

I got this roll to hold my picks. It’s cheap and works well so far; I love it. US PeaceKeeper P21111 Small Punch Roll for Armorer's Tools https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044YGCA0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_72xaCbSFDPCC6

If money were not a factor, I think Peterson, Sparrows, and Spooxe would be on my list. I can personally vouch for sparrows cases,

I've got a couple of these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00JK1XW4G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ya.zDbGFP2YP7

Nothing too fancy, but I quite like them for the price.

Well the sling will come with qd points. A two point sling will have two qd mounts. The stock has one qd, and then the little mlok to qd. So if u buy this and mount it on an mlok slot on the handrail, then buy a sling that says it is a qd (quick disconnect) sling it will come with the mounts. Like this sling is a 2 point so it comes with two qd points. And then this is the magpul afg .

check this case out, also you might want to check Uline.com, find boxes with 275 test strength.

[This one](http://www.Ultimate.com/ Belly Band Holster for Concealed Carry | Black | Fits Gun Smith and Wesson Bodyguard, Shield, Glock 19, 42, 43, P238, Ruger LCP, and Similar Sized Guns | For Men and Women | Right Hand Draw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DEGYTC6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9Blqzb7BM6YFD) looks interesting

Given the extreme unreliability of all rimfire ammo, it is stupid to trust your life on it.

Also, .22LR has trouble penetrating the ribcage of elderly US presidents (Reagan, specifically), so what chance does it really have with reliably stopping zombies when it does manage to avoid FTF/FTE?

Seriously. Buy several ARs and stockpile .223 and/or 5.56. Get Elzettas for the ARs. Put flashlights with tailswitches in the Elzettas. Buy slings. Ensure the flashlights run on Panasonic 18650 batteries as those are interchangeable with dual CR123 batteries, but have the added option of reliable recharging. If you plan your shopping carefully, you will probably get each weapon completed for less than $550.

• Great AR rifle kit for $299.99
  
  
• Elzetta is $43.95
  
  
• Fenix TK-32 light for $95.95
  
  
• Sling for $31.30
  
  
• 18650 charger for $20.96... not sure if it comes with batteries
  
  Putting all this together is easier than most Lego sets.
  
  Total for known prices is $492.15. At this point just go find some lower receiver that you like - you'll probably spend less than $50 total... unless you wait for the elections, in which case they will be like $300.

Glad to offer some assistance.

I have a Plano All-Weather tactical case I bought at Academy for $65. It has the Pick n' Pluck foam interior. I'll be replacing it with my own foam interior that I'll custom cut out like I do for DeWalt cases.

Gun sock technically! Best $6.84 I've spent recently! link

Not a fan of those latches or the lack of waterproofing. I have this and it's fricken SWEET. Just make sure to get some dessicant.

Plano tactical rifle cases have a 30 dollar discount that applied after I added it to my cart. I chose free shipping and the total came to 91 bucks.

I use this Ultimate Belly Band Holster for Concealed Carry | Black | Fits Gun Smith and Wesson Bodyguard, Shield, Glock 19, 42, 43, P238, Ruger LCP, and Similar Sized Guns | For Men and Women | Right Hand Draw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DEGYTC6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ddnRzbRGS5M1C whenever I'm wearing athletic shorts. Like it far more than pocket carry.

I put this sling on all my builds, simple and strong with removable QD points for $14

So this is a Smith and Wesson Model 27, made in 1960 (per the serial number), .357 Magnum (also .38 special). I received it as a gift and it is my first gun ever! Super stoked to own it now, and I'll probably join the prolonged slide of gun ownership that I see in this sub time to time. My next purchase is likely a smaller concealed carry weapon.

The giant ammo tin is vintage, I'm guessing vietnam era, but no idea, I could be full of shit. It's stacked with hundreds of .357 FMJs. 1 box of .357 hollow points, and 2 boxes of Shotshell snake charmers.

I'm pleased as punch with this gun. I've just purchased a bunch of accessories on amazon, I'll post them below, maybe you can tell me if these are good products or not for range shooting. (No referral links or any of that bs)

Plano tactical 42" ones go on sale pretty often for about $60.

As far as I know it this is an identical case for a bit cheaper. Have one myself, it's pretty bitchin'.

Pelican makes a nice case. I keep mine locked, and the case itself is chained to an eyebolt in a discrete place.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E221A88?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

And you can get a chamber lock:

I honestly don't really use my other picks and wrenches, but I keep them in this case that I bought from Amazon for $4.60 about a year ago (it's gone up a bit since then; used to be an “add-on item”). Basically I just put them all in there when I got that case and haven't opened it since, so I can't really comment on its usability or durability.

I saw them earlier when I was looking for one as well, but I forget the website. The one I saw was pick & pluck foam and listed for $67 and some change. Figure with tax and shipping it'd be about $75.

edit: Saw this just now. Good deal...

If I'm not going to beat the shit out of it, will this $15 Plano Rifle case be adequate for my .17? I'll be scoping it, but it should still fit.

Speaking of rings; Leupold Rifleman or Vortex Hunter? Or just buy once cry once and get a set of EGW Practicals or Vortex Pros?

This one and this one both have zippered pouches to keep your tensioners secure. I like the first one because the whole things zips closed.

A bunch of people around here, including me, have this one. I would much rather have one of the first two.

​

From top to bottom (also the order in which they were bought):

• Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer 9mm
  
• Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9mm
  
• Ruger LCP .380
  
  
  
  The Shield is my EDC, but I live in Florida and sometimes it's too hot to dress to the gun, so I picked up the LCP on days I just want to throw it in my pocket. Also picked up the DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster and am really liking it thus far (though I haven't been to the range with the holster yet)!

Instead of this, Would the boosted board fit on a , Plano All Weather Tactical Gun Case, 42-Inch?

As a ‘Merican, I can tell you the answers is guns. Plano Protector Four Pistol Case is similar in size and will keep your Quest safe.

I got this one on amazon.ca, good deal, fits my AR, plus my pistol and room left for mags:

I got the 36in version though it is a very tight fit.

I wanted a lockable hard case for more protected transport and went with this Plano:

Not my idea.

This Allen Company Knit Gun Sock for Handguns costs only 10 bucks and works great.

what college? I'm a first-year at Oregon state University. BTW if you need a case for your lock picks this one looks pretty good. Mine arrives tomorrow so maybe it's crap but i'll have to wait and see.

FYI, for anyone wondering you can use a gun stock for these 60% boards. I have a V60 and it fits my board like a glove. link

> I plan on actually replacing the barrel with an 18 inch .223 Wylde and it would be a little easier to transport

Yup. I have a 20 inch, and the thing...is not handy to transport. I use one of these for it.

Now my AK15 pistol, on the other hand....tiny

It looks just like a Plano Case with some fancy foam. It looks to be a variant of this: https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Gun-Guard-Tactical-Case/dp/B0029KDHRM/

Don't get me wrong, it's a good case, but not for what they are asking for it. You could get a Pelican on sale for less and cut it yourself and end up with a better gun case overall

I'm a big fan of these:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000P3WPKK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In my necron one I got a monolith 3 ghost arks, 2 annihilation barges and a triach stalker. They also fit 2 of the short slot foam GW uses.

the glock 3.5 connector, a good holster that you will use everyday, hornady critical duty, federal hst, or speer gold dots, upgrade the sights if they bother you. they are fine to me

holster i recommend

If you'd like to carry four keyboards, this guy is only 15 bucks.

I use an armorer's punch roll. It was approximately $5, and holds ~20 picks and 10 wrenches with leftover space. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044YGCA0

I recently bought this on amazon. Things a tank and you can customize the inside. I can fit both of my AEGs inside.

My wife has a bra holster that works well, and a waist band holster.

Bra

Waist band

It's not bad, I came across a fluke deal, as these cases are seasonal for wal-mart and are normally closer to $60 bucks.

Here's the case on amazon for reference

http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-Company-Weather-Tactical/dp/B00E2217I6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450208892&sr=8-1&keywords=Plano+All+Weather

I can do $80. Keys are all fine. I miss my arrow keys too much so probably going to get a TKL, likely the K65 RGB :D I'll throw in this bag in if you're ok with $80.

Plano cases are what I meant. Walmart and Amazon have them on sale every once in a while.

Bought for $45 on sale from amazon

This looks nice for $42. I don't like Flambeau...more tackle box manufacturers.

At LEAST take the gpu's out and transport them in their original boxes. Personally, I transport mine in a pistol case

I flown across the US with firearms. The airlines have never even inspected them. They just checked to see that I had a good locking case. The only thing that seems to vary is that each airline has different rules on ammo.

Declare and check per TSA regs. For just an upper, something like the 36" Plano is reasonable. Add two locks and check. Really no problem.

At the end of the day, what ever causes the least stress and hassle.

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013LM2P6/
Apparently it's a good fit for a Pok3r so I bought it on impulse, not sure how it is as mine is sitting in an Amazon Locker that I'm too lazy to go to right now. One of the images/reviews is about using it to hold a 60% rather than a gun so I'd imagine it's not too bad.

https://switchsmith.co/ has a bit more variety if you're willing to pay for a custom pouch, site is owned by \/u/B1G_B1RD I believe.

I have this one. It is perfect and is much cheaper. I primarily leave this case in the car/trunk and put the board in there while doing local commuting. This case is likely an oversize item when boarding planes. So check in fee + oversize fee. Haven't tried tho

>>On Amazon for $69.20 if you have Prime.
