About Gun Cases

A gun case is a type of container designed to store and protect firearms from damage during transportation, whether for travel, hunting trips, or going to the range.

Cases come in various colors, sizes, and styles comprised of different materials, depending on the intended use and type of firearm. Each gun case is typically designed to fit a specific type of firearm, such as a pistol, rifle, or shotgun.

Continuing reading for a complete breakdown of the different types of rifle and pistol cases below.

Types of Rifle Cases

SOFT RIFLE CASES:

Great for simple transportation to and from the shooting range and far less bulky than the hard case alternative is Soft Shell Rifle cases. Soft cases are lightweight and can accommodate a wide range of rifle, shotgun, and long gun types.

Soft rifle cases typically cost less than hard-shell cases and most models will include compartments for essential items like ammunition, magazines, and protective gear.

HARD RIFLE CASES:

Owners looking for an added layer of security often purchase a hard rifle case for transporting and storing their rifles or firearms. As the name implies, they have a hard exterior protecting your gun from outside forces and feature foam padding to keep them in place.

Different cases have different foam measurements, making them perfect for modern sporting rifles with modifications or installed optics. Additionally, most hard gun cases include padlock ports for increased safety measures.

Common Rifle Case Features

MATERIAL
Rifle cases can be made from various materials, including hard plastics, soft fabrics, and leather. In addition, cases often include padded interiors made from foam or other materials designed to absorb shock and prevent damage.

SIZE
Rifle cases are designed to fit specific types and sizes of rifles. They may be sized for specific models of rifles, or they may be more universal and able to fit a range of rifles.

STRAPS/HANDLES
Rifle cases typically have some form of carrying mechanism, such as shoulder straps or handles. These allow the case to be easily carried and transported.

LOCKS
Some rifle cases have locks or other security features to prevent unauthorized access to the rifle. These locks may be key-based or combination-based.

STORAGE
Some rifle cases may have additional compartments for storing accessories such as scopes, ammunition, and cleaning supplies.

WATER-RESISTANT
Some rifle cases may be designed to be waterproof or water-resistant to protect the rifle from water damage.

Types of Pistol Cases

SOFT GUN CASES:

Soft pistol cases, including pistol rugs, are an excellent option for transporting your firearm to and from the shooting range. Both designs generally take up less space than a hard gun case and are extremely popular.

Soft gun cases are also an excellent choice when storing your pistol inside a safe or gun vault and help keep you organized during routine cleanings. In fact, many gun owners will use a soft case when traveling, as a second case.

HARD GUN CASES:

Hard pistol cases are also an ideal accessory to have when transporting your firearm to and from the shooting range or when traveling long distances on an airplane.

Models generally include one or more padlock points for an added security layer if stored inside a safe or vault. Also, compared to a standard soft gun case, their hardened shell dramatically increases the level of 'damage resistance.'

Common Pistol Case Features

MATERIAL
Pistol cases can be made from various materials, including hard plastic, soft fabrics, leather, and metal. Each case is built to withstand normal wear and tear and to protect the firearm during storage or transportation.

SIZE
Pistol cases are designed to fit specific types and sizes of handguns. They may be sized for specific categories, or they may be more universal and able to fit a range of models.

PADDING
Pistol cases typically have padded interiors to protect the pistol during transport. The padding can be made from foam or other materials, and it's designed to absorb shock and prevent damage to the pistol.

TSA-APPROVED
Some pistol cases are TSA-approved, which means they meet the Transportation Security Administration's standards for traveling with firearms. *Always check and confirm with the airline or TSA before traveling with a firearm.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND PORTABLE
Pistol cases are designed to be lightweight and portable, making them easy to carry and transport.

DURABILITY
Pistol cases are built to withstand normal wear and tear and to protect the firearm during storage or transportation. Additionally, some pistol cases may be designed to be waterproof or water-resistant.
