Top Two Reasons to Avoid a Soft-Sided Gun Case

Do not underestimate the importance of choosing the right carrying case for your gun. If you are going to spend money on a nice gun, you should consider spending enough to get a custom carrying case that keeps your gun protected.

Blow Molded Cases

It is all too often that an individual uses an inexpensive, soft-sided case instead of making the necessary investment in a custom carrying case. If you do not care about scratches and dents, a soft-sided case is more than enough for transporting your firearm to and from the firing range. If you care about your gun's appearance and plan on traveling with it, you should strongly consider a blow-molded case.

If you are traveling across state lines, especially if you are traveling via airplane, you need to make sure that your gun is properly stored. Each state has different regulations on how to carry firearms. You can take your gun to most states while on a road trip, but while it is being transported, it must be unloaded, in a case, and locked away from the driver and passengers.

A custom carrying case is built with custom foam inserts that are cut to size. Your case is distinctly yours, meaning it only fits the exact gun you are carrying and whatever accessories you also want to hold in the case. Your gun and accessories do not move once placed in the case, and the lid is shut. The foam acts as a shock absorber if the case is dropped or banged, ensuring that whatever you are carrying remains safe. Custom carrying cases are also airtight and waterproof, which means they can brave the elements with ease.
