The Pelican 1500 Protector Case delivers military-grade protection for handguns and accessories in a compact, airline-approved format. This black polypropylene hard case features customizable foam inserts and watertight construction that exceeds industry standards for firearm transport and storage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic gun cases, the Pelican 1500 meets stringent IP67 waterproof standards and withstands crushing forces up to 400 pounds. The proprietary polypropylene shell resists impact damage that would crack standard plastic cases. Double-throw latches and a pressure release valve maintain seal integrity across altitude changes during air travel.
Key Features
- Watertight O-ring seal tested to 1 meter submersion for 30 minutes
- Customizable pick-and-pluck foam accommodates various handgun sizes
- Automatic pressure equalization valve prevents vacuum lock

Field testing demonstrates consistent protection across temperature extremes from -40°F to 210°F without seal degradation. The case maintains structural integrity after repeated drops from 6 feet onto concrete surfaces. Law enforcement agencies rely on similar Pelican cases for duty weapon transport, while competitive shooters trust the brand for match-grade pistol protection during travel.
