    Perfect Case for my Need, with Typical (Exceptional) Quality!
    5 Stars
    Perfect Case for my Need, with Typical (Exceptional) Quality!
    I've been a huge fan of Pelican cases for a long time, and this case is no exception. I reserve Pelican cases for the most sensitive and expensive items I own, and I recently bought a Labradar Ballistic Chronograph. Being orange, I wanted to find a case that would work with it and noticed that Pelican makes orange cases. I typically buy the "Storm" cases, versus the "Protector" case that this is. I think I prefer the storm case's latches and lightness, however this case is built like a tank, and I have 100% confidence that this will hold up to absolutely anything I can put it through and then some. I buy Pelican because I want the best; great cases like this are an investment/insurance for whatever you place inside.One note on the foam...This case comes with "Pick and Pluck" foam. I'm not personally a fan of it. I have built my own hot wire cutter (You can find DIY articles and videos online that show how to do this) - This allows me to cut the foam precisely how I like it, instead of having to pluck hundreds of blocks out. Maybe you will prefer the pick and pluck, but it's not for me. I had some replacement foam that I had bought for a previous project that I was able to cut to size for this case, so I went ahead with that rather than the foam that came with the case.If you are looking to build your own hot wire cutter, all you need is some stainless steel wire (It must be stainless steel due to high internal resistance) - this is easily found at a "big box" store like Home Depot, Lowe's, or Menards, or many grocery stores in their hardware section...the easiest way to get it is find stainless steel picture hanging wire. It usually comes in strands of 5-7 wires coiled...just separate them out, and it's the perfect thickness for cutting foam. I keep old electronic parts when I dispose of old things I have, and somewhere along the way (I think my old furnace) had a 24v AC transformer, rated for 40VA. This was perfect, and I recommend AC transformers vs. DC because AC transformers allow you to use a typical cheap dimmer switch/wheel to adjust the heat the wire is at. I've found that 1 amp of current at 24V is the perfect amount for one of these picture hanging wire strands to cut the foam that comes in Pelican cases. I also made a hot wire thickness planer using the same parts, and with these two simple tools, I can cut foam out however I want with great accuracy and precision. All of my gun cases, etc, are cut in this manner. I'm happy to share more details with anyone that would like them, just reply in the comments!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Matching Set
    Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017
    I finally found a Pelican case that was perfectly sized for my AR-15 pistol. It just so happened that the "desert tan" was the same price as the black case, and that would match my pistol. It took me a while to decide if I wanted the tan or the black, but why not have them match - if it doesn't cost any more money.

    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.
