Pelican 1520 Protector Handgun Case Black Polypropylene Foam Insert

The Pelican 1520 Protector Case delivers military-grade protection for handguns and accessories in a compact, airline-approved format. This black polypropylene case withstands extreme conditions while maintaining precise foam cushioning for firearms up to full-size pistols.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic gun cases, the Pelican 1520 features crushproof construction tested to withstand 400 pounds of force. The automatic pressure equalization valve prevents vacuum lock during altitude changes, while the double-throw latches create an airtight seal. Interior dimensions accommodate most full-size handguns with room for magazines and accessories.

Key Features

• Crushproof polypropylene shell rated for 400 lbs compression force
• Watertight O-ring seal protects against moisture and debris infiltration
• Pick-and-pluck foam insert customizes to specific handgun dimensions
• Automatic pressure equalization valve prevents altitude-related seal issues
• Stainless steel reinforced padlock protectors secure dual locking points
• Comfortable rubber over-molded handle reduces fatigue during transport
• Meets airline carry-on size restrictions for lawful transport

Field testing demonstrates consistent protection across temperature ranges from -10°F to 200°F. The case maintains structural integrity after repeated drops from 6 feet onto concrete surfaces. Law enforcement agencies specify Pelican cases for evidence transport, while competitive shooters rely on the consistent foam protection during frequent travel. The pressure valve eliminates the suction effect common in sealed cases at different elevations.
