Certain companies have become so ingrained in our culture that they are part of our vernacular. For example, while it’s a brand name, most people consider soft drinks Coke. Another place this has happened is in the firearms world. When you mention a hard-side locking case, the name Pelican is the verbiage people use. The influence they have had on the industry is well-earned. Today, they have added another item to their lineup. The V300 Universal 5-Pistol Case.
The V300 Universal 5-Pistol Case
Vault cases from Pelican are the most rugged and secure cases in their class. They are engineered with an optimized blend of materials and production. The benefits are a hearty case that won’t break the bank. I know this for a fact because I have multiple cases of varying sizes I have been using for years.
Holds Multiple Pistols and Gear
The new V300 Vault case holds multiple pistols, magazines, and even ammo. They fit easily into the well-designed foam slots included in the case. The case also comes with a removable fifth pistol insert, which allows for a larger open space should you need it. The pre-cut heavy-duty foam holds up to 5 pistols and 19 magazines. They are also modular, allowing you to set things up the way you want them. Pelican even takes time to choose the best foam. Their medium density polyethylene closed cell foam offers excellent abrasion resistance, high levels of resilience, strength and durability.
High-Impact Polymer Material
Other features include high-impact polymer material. This is where Pelican has always shined. I have been traveling with a specific Pelican case for almost 20 years. That case has been abused, thrown, dropped, and slid by every baggage handler in the United States, yet it still works perfectly. The case also has an automatic purge valve and stainless-steel pins that hold the latches, handle, and lid together. Their cases are crushproof, dustproof, and weather-resistant making them perfect for travel.
Heavy Duty Handles
While the case is feature rich there are a few points that stand out to me specifically. First are the two push-button latches. They provide secure closure with easy-to-open access. It also has 5/16” padlock holes which allow me to put on a serious lock. The final item is the ergonomic heavy-duty handles. They may not seem important to some, but if you use your cases professionally, the handles matter.
Solid Choice
Even beyond travel, the V300 Universal 5-Pistol case is excellent. Their modulatory make them the perfect case even if you are just transporting gear back and forth from the house to the range.These cases are weather-resistant and are sealed against moisture and dust. While you obviously have options in the hard-sided case market, it’s essential to choose wisely. Pelican is synonymous with quality cases, and the V300 Universal 5-Pistol case follows that line. This is the most durable and affordable case in its class. When you go with quality, you are never disappointed. For more information visit: https://www.pelican.com/us/en
