Frequently Asked Questions
What size pistols will fit in the Pelican 1150?
The Pelican 1150 has an interior space of approximately 9.21" x 6.00" x 3.37", making it well-suited for most compact and mid-size handguns such as the Glock 19, SIG P365, S&W M&P Shield, and similar pistols. Full-size handguns with longer barrels may require the larger Pelican 1170 model. The pre-cut or custom foam interior can be trimmed to perfectly fit your specific firearm and accessories like a spare magazine or speed loader.
Is the Pelican 1150 approved for flying with a firearm?
Yes. The Pelican 1150 features two padlock hasp points, making it fully compliant with TSA regulations for checked-baggage firearm transport. You must declare your unloaded firearm at check-in and use your own TSA-accepted padlocks — the case itself meets all hard-sided container requirements set by the TSA and most major airlines.
Is the foam removable or customizable?
Yes. The Pelican 1150 typically ships with pick-n-pluck foam that allows you to remove individual cubes to create a custom-fit cavity perfectly shaped around your pistol, magazines, or other accessories. This ensures your firearm stays secure and scratch-free during transport or storage without shifting inside the case.
