Pistol Case: Flat Carry Case for Transporting a Handgun
Pistol Case: Transporting a Handgun Separately from Your Other Gear
A pistol case is for people who regularly take a firearm to the shooting range, tactical training, or field trips: instructors, training participants, and civilian handgun owners. A holster is designed for carrying on the body, while a case is for transporting and storing the gun when it should not be lying in a backpack among other items. Unlike long rifle cases, a pistol bag is compact and fits easily into a backpack.
What to Look For in the Design
The flat "wallet" format is convenient because the case takes up no extra space in a backpack. For example, the Helikon-Tex Double Pistol Wallet measures 34×23.5×4.5 cm and is designed for two pistols. Before buying, compare your firearm with the case dimensions, taking into account everything mounted on it.
Pay attention to the zipper: the case is opened often, and the zipper is the first part to wear out. The Double Pistol Wallet has a YKK zipper, and its body is made of Cordura fabric, which withstands abrasion well. Two handles on top let you carry the case like a folder, and the Velcro patch panel helps mark the owner or unit so identical cases don't get mixed up.
The SABADO Replica and Choosing a Color
The SABADO pistol case, 32×23 cm, is a replica, that is, a copy of a well-known case format; it is slightly shorter and narrower than the Double Pistol Wallet. Case prices range from 1 150 to 2 395 UAH.
Choose a color to match the rest of your gear: the Double Pistol Wallet is currently available in Multicam and Coyote. If you are looking for a case for long guns, see all gun cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a pistol case different from a holster?
A case is intended for transporting and storing a firearm, while a holster is for carrying it on the body. The case zips fully shut and protects the pistol from dust and scratches inside a backpack. It is not suitable for everyday carry.
Can I carry two pistols in one case?
Yes, if the case is designed for two firearms. The Helikon-Tex Double Pistol Wallet is made specifically for two pistols, so it is convenient when you bring both a primary and a backup firearm to the range.
