Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Pelican 1450 approved for airline travel with a firearm?
Yes. The Pelican 1450 features two pad-lockable hasps, which satisfies TSA requirements for transporting unloaded firearms in checked baggage. You'll need to provide your own TSA-accepted padlocks (sold separately) and declare the firearm at check-in. Always verify current TSA and airline regulations before flying.
What size pistols will fit in the Pelican 1450?
With interior dimensions of approximately 15" × 10.5" × 6", the 1450 comfortably accommodates most full-size and compact semi-automatic pistols, as well as revolvers. There is typically room for a spare magazine, cleaning kit, or other small accessories alongside the firearm, especially when using the optional foam insert or Pick N Pluck foam.
Does the Pelican 1450 come with foam inserts?
Foam configuration can vary by purchase option. Many versions include pre-cut or Pick N Pluck foam that allows you to customize the interior to fit your specific pistol and accessories securely. If your case arrives without foam, Pelican-compatible foam inserts are widely available and easy to fit to the 1450's interior dimensions.
