McGunner Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Anyone have first hand experience with americase gun cases? Looking at getting the 502 pistol case..... Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmd Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I have not seen the #502 - but I do have a few of their cases - very well made - but they are heavy. I usually use their double sided pistol case for travel - weighs around 22# empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Good cases but like was alaredy said they are HEAVY. With hard use they do scuff up on the metal especially pretty bad. I did manage to have one broken on the corner due to an airline gorilla. I used them for skeet shooting as they would make them to fit the gun, sub ga tubes and all and would custom make you anything you wanted which I needed to put in the case. If I didnt need the custom interior to hold all the stuff I would go with a pelican case which for a pistol is the way to go. Less money and will hold up better.

McGunner Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks for the info guys.........pelican was my first choice until I came across the americase. Just liked the look of the aluminum case........but would probably get upset when it starts to get dented and scratched. Going with the pelican.........
