Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Pelican 1170 fit my full-size pistol?
The Pelican 1170 has an interior space of approximately 10.63" × 6.00" × 3.25", making it suitable for most compact and mid-size pistols. Many full-size handguns such as the Glock 17, Beretta 92, or 1911-pattern pistols will fit comfortably alongside a spare magazine. For very large pistols or those with extended barrels or optics, consider stepping up to the Pelican 1200 or 1400 series for additional room.
Is the Pelican 1170 approved for airline travel with a firearm?
Yes. The two pad-lockable hasps allow you to secure the case with TSA-accepted locks, meeting the requirements for checking a firearm in your luggage. Always declare your unloaded firearm with your airline at check-in and verify current TSA and airline-specific regulations before you fly, as policies can vary by carrier.
How does the Pick N Pluck foam work, and can I replace it?
Pick N Pluck foam is pre-scored in a grid pattern so you can remove small cubes by hand to create a custom-fitted cavity perfectly shaped to your pistol and accessories — no cutting tools required. If you want a different configuration later, replacement foam inserts are available directly from Pelican and many firearm accessory retailers, so you can re-customize the case for a different handgun or layout.
