Pelican warranty has been great and I've used them a couple of times to replace parts that got damaged during shipping (handles).
This case comes with 3 layers of foam; a corrugated layer in the lid, a thick 'Pick N Pluck' layer in the middle and a thin layer bellow that. If you have small items you'll be storing, consider keeping the pieces you remove and cutting them down to change the height.
Replacement foam is also available if you decide to change the configuration of your case:

It is available in various colors and with the following optional accessories:

The only thing I don't like about the case is the amount of force required to snap the latches closed. Opening is fine, but closing requires a lot of effort and causes a very loud snap when latched.
My pistol has a standard buffer tube for pistols, and the barrel is a free-floating 7.5 inch flat top. I have flip down Magpul sights on it, and it's a good thing because a Red Dot scope would not have fit. I also have a small Streamlight flashlight on the bottom as you can see in my pictures.
The depth of the case allowed for me to pull out the foam and then reinsert half the height of the foam, before putting my pistol in the case. This allowed for me to put my magazines in the bottom of the case, still protected by about an inch of foam. On the top of my two magazines I simply lay a loose piece of foam on them and then insert the pistol parts. This way, I can fit everything I need without making the foam sections too thin in the middle.
I've had many other Pelican cases in the past and this one seems slightly better built because of the new clasp system and the metal protectors for padlocks. I already know that Pelican cases are extremely durable and waterproof because I had one bolted onto the luggage rack of my motorcycle for about four years, and I never had anything inside of it get wet.
