Screaming bargain on hard handgun cases!
« on: November 24, 2006, 04:20:34 PM »
Just a heads-up for APS members.  Academy Sports is offering the Plano 4-handgun case (hard plastic, soft foam inserts) for $9.99!  shocked

Details at http://www.academysports.com/index.php?page=content&target=products/outdoors/hunting/gun_cases&start=10&selectedSKU=0347-02397-1404 .

I bought all 5 at my local Academy this evening, and would have bought 10 if they'd had them available!  These things aren't only useful for handguns, but for anything delicate requiring some protection when traveling.  I'm going to use a couple for camera equipment, lenses, etc.  I'll cut out the outlines of the equipment in the center foam piece, leaving the top and bottom foam sheets intact for protection against bounces.

At this price, these things are a screaming bargain - five to ten times less than a typical hard-sided camera case.  If you want high-density foam instead of the soft stuff, that can be bought very cheaply from foam supply stores.  Worth a look.
Let's put the fun back in dysfunctional!

If you have one, an electric carving knife really makes short work of cutting out that foam.

Thanks for the heads-up.  I bought a Plano rifle case last month when they were on sale.  Nice product for the price.

Just saw this thread.  Two things:

1. Preacher's link is wrong.  Try this one: www.academy.com/index.php?page=content&target=products/outdoors/hunting/gun_cases&start=10&selectedSKU=0347-02397-1404

2. Apparently, can't order this online.

Got one awhile back. The info is misleading. I can only get a BHP, a P220, a P229 and 3 mags for each in it Cheesy
