Frequently Asked Questions

What size pistols fit in the Pelican 1170?

The Pelican 1170 features an interior measuring approximately 11.06" × 7.00" × 2.12", making it compatible with most full-size and compact semi-automatic pistols and revolvers. It comfortably fits handguns like the Glock 17, 1911, Smith & Wesson M&P, and similar-sized firearms, along with a spare magazine or small accessories in the included foam insert.

Can I use the Pelican 1170 to check a firearm on a commercial flight?

Yes. The Pelican 1170 is designed with two pad-lockable hasps that meet TSA requirements for checking firearms in checked baggage. You will need to supply your own TSA-approved locks. Always declare your unloaded firearm at the airline check-in counter and follow all applicable federal and airline-specific regulations before flying with a firearm.

Does the Pelican 1170 come with foam, and can it be customized?

Yes, the Pelican 1170 ships with a pre-cut or solid foam insert depending on the configuration. The foam can be trimmed or plucked to create a custom-fit cutout for your specific firearm and accessories. For a fully tailored fit, Pelican also offers custom foam cutting services, and third-party foam options are widely available for this case model.
