Frequently Asked Questions
What size pistols fit inside the Pelican 1120?
The Pelican 1120 has an interior measuring approximately 9.12" x 5.00" x 3.62", making it compatible with most compact and subcompact handguns, including popular models like the Glock 19, Sig Sauer P365, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, and similar-sized pistols. Full-size duty pistols with longer barrels may require a larger case such as the Pelican 1170 or 1150. We recommend measuring your firearm before purchasing.
Is the Pelican 1120 approved for airline travel with a firearm?
Yes. The Pelican 1120 features two pad-lockable hasps that satisfy TSA requirements for transporting unloaded firearms in checked baggage. You will need to supply your own TSA-approved locks. Always declare your firearm at check-in and verify current airline and federal regulations before you fly, as carrier policies can vary.
Is the Pelican 1120 truly waterproof, and can it float?
The Pelican 1120 features a continuous O-ring seal that creates an airtight and watertight barrier against moisture, rain, and submersion. The trapped air inside also gives the case positive buoyancy, meaning it will float if dropped in water — keeping your firearm recoverable and dry even in the most demanding conditions.
