Frequently Asked Questions
What size pistols will fit inside the Pelican 1170?
The Pelican 1170 has an interior measuring approximately 10.62" × 6.00" × 3.25", making it compatible with most full-size and compact semi-automatic pistols, as well as many revolvers. It comfortably fits popular handguns such as the Glock 17, Glock 19, Smith & Wesson M&P, SIG Sauer P320, and 1911-pattern pistols. The pre-scored pick-and-pluck foam interior can be customized to fit your specific firearm along with one or two spare magazines.
Is this case approved for checking a firearm on a commercial flight?
Yes. The Pelican 1170 features two pad-lockable hasps, which satisfy TSA and most airline requirements for transporting unloaded firearms in checked baggage. You must supply your own TSA-approved locks. Always confirm your specific airline's firearm policies before travel, as requirements can vary slightly by carrier.
Is the Pelican 1170 truly waterproof, and how durable is the case long-term?
Yes — the 1170 features a continuous O-ring seal around the lid that creates a watertight and airtight barrier, protecting your firearm from rain, submersion, dust, and humidity. The automatic pressure equalization valve prevents the lid from vacuum-sealing at altitude or after temperature changes. Pelican backs this case with their legendary Lifetime Guarantee, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product.
