the foam itself and the fact that they provide
these nice pre-cut designs for you is really where a case club shines
how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot patriot channel today we're going to be talking
about another awesome gun case from case club the one we're going to be talking about today
is a handgun case this case here can hold up to three handguns and 23 magazines now i
consider this one of the best pistol cases on the market right now and we're going to talk
about the specs and all the features it has in it i have done a review on a long gun case from
case club i'll put a link to that right here at the top of the screen so you can check that out
the quality and the foam and everything on that long gun case is going to be the same
as what you see here today we're also going to be doing a comparison of this case to a
less expensive plano handgun case in a similar category so if you like these kind of videos guys

now we're going to talk about the outside of the case first this case is made of a really
nice heavy duty plastic all these ridges and stuff running across the body of the case add
to the strength of the case itself it has a really nice heavy duty grab handle here as well as some
really beefy hinges on the back side and you can see that those are reinforced with these thick
plastic ridges that are just going to make that hinge even stronger you'll see that it does have
two locking points here that are reinforced by metal so you can put a padlock on here to lock
this case up in this case is tsa approved so you'll be able to use this case to travel with
now along those lines if you do any air travel it does have a pressure valve here so you can release
the pressure inside the case now the latches here are really nice heavy duty double latch so
you can hear that it really locks in place and you hear that same positive feedback when you open it
it locks down nice and tight there is no wiggle room no play in that case you can see even when i
press down my body weight on this case it has very very little flex and we'll go ahead and open this
bad boy up so you can see the inside now right off that you can see this case does come with a
silica gel block that you can put in the case to help protect from rust and corrosion on your guns
you'll notice here that in the lid we have a soft egg crate style foam and then in the bottom
is where case club really shines is that nice dense foam that they provide that does a really
fantastic job of securing those guns and we're going to talk more about that in just a minute but
first let's take a look around the edge of the lid here you can see that it does have a rubber seal
that really locks down so you are going to get a nice waterproof and dust proof
seal on this case now this case is going to be somewhat customizable you can see that it does
have some pre-cut areas here for your magazines and handguns let's go ahead and pull some of
this foam out so you can really see how case club has designed the interior of this case
now those are our spots for our three handguns and what you'll notice is that it's open down here at
the bottom so that once we put our guns in here into place you can easily grab those grips without
having to fish your hand down inside of a narrow gap but what you'll notice is it's still going to
lock those guns in nice and tight and i'll show you how that works now what it has is these small
pull outs they're going to give you a spot for your grips to drop down into now you can see these
customized little pull outs here that's going to do a couple things for you these narrow slits here
are going to allow for your trigger guard to sit down in there and that's really going to
lock it in place and your barrel is going to go down here into this groove with your grip going
down here in the back now this is going to work nice for full size compact and sub compact guns
because of that positive lock up around the trigger guard it really holds these guns in
very sturdy now another thing i'll show you with your shorter guns you can take this section here
that you pulled out and you can break off pieces of that to stick back into the case
for your shorter gun if you want a little bit more front to back support you can add those back in
there and that's going to help keep them from moving around even more in between each section
you'll see it does have notches here to drop your magazines down in and that is going to be
customizable for single stack or double stack mags you can see i have a single stack here and then if
you pull out this extra piece it's going to allow for a wider double stack magazine so you do have a
lot of customization along with this it's going to have three magazine cutouts in between each
handgun and you just pull those out and expose those as needed now this entire section over
here is going to be four additional magazines you can see that does have all those same cutouts here
like i said this is going to accommodate up to 23 magazines if you want it to now you have your nine
magazines here alongside of your handgun and then the rest over here the other option you have is
that these magazine holder sections can come out to allow you to have a spot for other accessories
so if i pull some of those sections out you'll notice i have a great spot there
for some hearing protection eye protection i could also use that for ammo storage if i wanted to
so this case is very versatile it gives you lots of options now you can use it for accessories and
then you can hang on to these molded sections here and use those later as you get more magazines or
to swap it out depending on what you're doing on the range that day another thing that case club
offers you can just get a block of this rigid foam and you can customize it and cut it out yourself
one thing you'll notice on these foam sections is that it's kind of broken up into half inch
sections there so you can slice off a half inch section to make a shorter inset you can also use
a razor knife or a steak knife or something like that to cut out all these individual sections just
depending on what your needs are now i told you where case club really shines is this nice rigid
dense foam that they provide now i'm going to give you a quick comparison to what you would see in a
similar plano case you know we'll compare the foam first and then we'll compare the case itself now
right off that you can tell this is the pluck and pull style foam so it has little one-inch
sections that you can pluck and pull out like this and that's nice that's pretty customizable
that is a pretty cool feature now this foam is very soft and you might think that that's
a good thing to protect your guns and it can be but the problem is you'll notice that a
lot of these pieces are just kind of falling apart they don't hold their shape very well
and over time pulling guns in and out to me i just feel like this is not going to hold up well over
time the other thing is you really have to fish your hand down in here to get your guns out and
when you do you can see this piece just fell out on me it just doesn't hold up to that which is why
on this case club it gives you full access to the grip where you could easily get in here and pull
that gun out without disturbing the foam now i don't hate this plano case but you can see a big
uh quality difference you can see how much thinner the plastic is on these latches than it is on the
case club there's not really much of a positive click or lock up there's been a few times where
i've actually dropped this case and it popped open now with that positive lock up on the case club
you don't really have that issue the other thing you'll notice is with these fully
locked up you can see that there's not much give on this case club cases nice heavy duty
rigid material on the outside when i push down there's a whole lot of give on this plano case
it's just a thinner plastic it doesn't have these reinforcing ribs like the case club does is just a
big difference between something like this plano which is in like the 25 category to something
like the case club which falls around 80 it is often true that you get what you pay for there's
really just no denying that the case club is a lot higher quality than something like this plano case
case club makes several different cases similar to this they have a four gun they also have long
gun cases i have done a review on that you can also get the fully customizable ones with just
a blank slate of foam here that you cut out yourself there's a lot of different options
the foam itself and the fact that they provide these nice pre-cut designs for you is really where
a case club shines as well as the rugged heavy duty outer shell of the case that they provide
you just really can't beat this case and that's it for the case club three pistol handgun case i will
