Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fly with a firearm in the Pelican 1510?
Yes — the Pelican 1510 is a popular choice for flying with handguns and compact firearm accessories. It meets TSA requirements for transporting unloaded firearms in checked baggage (declare at check-in), and its dual padlock holes accept TSA-approved locks. Note that firearms must always be checked — they cannot be carried in the cabin. Always verify your airline's specific firearm transport policies before flying.
Is the Pick-N-Pluck foam easy to customize for my specific gear?
Absolutely. The Pick-N-Pluck foam is pre-scored in a grid pattern, allowing you to remove individual foam cubes to create a custom-fitted cavity for any item — handguns, optics, suppressors, magazines, or electronics. No cutting tools are needed for basic shapes, though a utility knife helps achieve cleaner edges for more complex cutouts. Replacement foam is also available from Pelican if you want to reconfigure later.
What makes the Pelican 1510 watertight, and how protective is it really?
The 1510 features a continuous O-ring seal running the full perimeter of the lid, combined with an automatic pressure equalization valve that prevents the lid from becoming vacuum-sealed at high altitudes or temperature extremes. The case is rated IP67, meaning it can withstand submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. The high-impact polypropylene shell is crush-resistant and meets MIL-SPEC standards — making it one of the most trusted protective cases on the market for both military and civilian use.
