GIO Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Kinda like cheap guns...Cheap luggage is great until you have to use it.

Anyway...buy good stuff it is worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry cazes Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yup. Did the same thing a couple of years back and it wasn't worth the savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My luggage are good because I travel a lot but especially my gun and gun gear are great because I like shooting and life is too short to waste for gunmalfunctions.

Thomas Moore Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have a 28in Twister from Docker and my last trip to Area 2 they busted the zipper. When I try to zip the suitcase closed it opens right behind the zipper. Now I'm on the hunt for a good piece of luggage where I can put my tournament series bag along with my gun. Here is a piece I came across. http://www.luggage.com/Rimowa-87680-JR1206.html Post any suggestions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzygä Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Looks nice and you can draw it. It is important factor for big airports. Makes sure it have strong wheels which won't broke when airport personnel throw it around. It is hard to draw if it loose it's wheels and heavy to carry.

atbarr Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 TraveloPro! I have four different sizes that I purchased in '97. They look like hell, but they are as good as the day I bought them. I've flown almost 1,000,000 miles with at least one (the smaller). Life is good, A.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcic Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have had good luck with Briggs and Riley. I usually fly over 100k a year and it is holding up well so far. It isn't cheap but you can't beat the warranty. They will fix any damage even if it is used by the airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Tumi makes excellent luggage (and it is a American company). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S. Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 One other tip: put something on it to make it easy to ID. Years ago, someone tried to steal my luggage - claiming it looked like theirs (turned out they didn't have any, so how could mine look like theirs?). My luggage has a large 'x' on both sides made with duct tape. Looks like hell, but it was cheap, and I can spot my luggage a mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'll get a picture of it up. It's a $40 bag with wheels I got from Target. Holds my Shooters' Connection bag, spikes, belt, etc. with zero worries. It pretty tough too as it's been to a lot of matches & classes.

Nemo Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I don't own good luggage but have always seen flight crews use TravelPro and that's gotta say something. There are some good prices at luggagefactory.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
