Frequently Asked Questions
What size pistols fit in the Pelican 1200 case?
The Pelican 1200 has an interior measuring approximately 9.18" x 7.00" x 4.12", making it suitable for most compact and mid-size semi-automatic pistols and revolvers — including popular models like the Glock 19, Sig Sauer P320, and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. Full-size pistols with longer barrels (such as a 5" 1911) may be a tight fit; for those, consider the larger Pelican 1400 or 1500 cases.
Can I use this case to fly with my firearm?
Yes. The Pelican 1200 features two pad-lockable hasps, which satisfies TSA requirements for checking firearms in airline baggage. You must use non-TSA-approved padlocks (only you hold the key), declare the firearm at check-in, and follow all applicable federal and airline regulations. Always verify current TSA guidelines before traveling.
Is the foam pre-cut, and can I customize it for my gun and accessories?
The Pelican 1200 typically comes with Pick-N-Pluck foam, which features a pre-scored grid that lets you remove sections to create a custom-fitted cavity for your specific firearm, spare magazines, or accessories. This ensures a snug, rattle-free fit and maximum protection for everything inside the case.
