If price or bulk is no object, i vote for Pelican

A cheap "lockable" hard case that is small and can be hidden inside your duffel bag. TSA regs just say it has to be inside a hard case.


Buying a Pelican pistol case and flying with it seperately is like announcing to the world: "Hey! There's a gun in my case! Steal me!" You might feel like a badass checking it in, but it might not be there when you go to pick it up.

Actually I was going to put the case inside my main suitcase.

I've used both a factory Glock case and a factory Sig case inside my regular suitcase. As long as it's lockable and holds your stuff, it will get the job done.
