Waterproof Airtight Case

I generally use this type of hard case for my photography. And I normally buy Pelican and Storm cases. Though Storm/Hardigg cases are not part of Pelican. As they now cross reference each other online. Which is sad as I liked the lower cost of the Storm cases.Anyway, I needed a new case to use for flying with my handguns that would work for the TSA. So I wanted to find a better price point. Also, I wanted something that wasn't so deep. My cameras need deep cases, but not my handguns. So based on interior and exterior dimensions, I found this Vault brand case.I was worried it wasn't going to be as strong as Pelican and Storm cases, but I was wrong. Has the same feel and construction quality as Pelican and Hardigg cases. I bought the 12" Vault case which has a shallower depth so there is not as much wasted space.I will attach photos with 2 handguns in this case. A Walther P99AS and P22. As you will see, it's a close fit with these 2 guns. I give this case 5 stars as it is solid, well made, tight seal as I can feel the air pressure seal perfectly, and the latches are strong as expected. And with the deep seal lip, there is no way anything can go in or out of the case even with a little gap when locked but unlatched. Which is what I needed for TSA flying.The case and foam are 5 stars. And while it will work for my specific 2 guns and travel needs. I do wish one of these case companies would make a shallower case that is slightly longer and slightly wider. Seems many brands have a small case that is perfect for 1 handgun or 5+ handguns. So it would be nice to see someone make a size that is perfect for just 2 handguns in a shallow case. Which I can then also store under my bed.

Wow, what a nice case for the $. I got the 12in, and you can get 2 pistols and mags in there and still leave spacers between everything. I only have one pistol now, but may get another. This is the same type of hard/military plastic that pelican is made of. Best part is you can put locks on the sides for security. I looked everywhere for an affordable case that you can fit 2 guns in if needed. Nice "grided" out cubes to remove so you can perfectly fit you items or guns. Very satisfied, if your reading this- buy it!

I ordered the VC-12 at the same time as ordering the Seahorse SE 300F so that I could compare.The VC-12 is listed (at time of writing this) as lightweight at 1 lb. What? it weighs 3lbs8oz.The plastic is abraded between the hinges, so it looks like something hot melted it.The case hinges wobble a bit so that it does not feel solid.The molded handle is not comfortable to hold.No where is it listed where the case is made, not on Amazon, not on the Vault Case website.I called the company. It was great that a person answered right away and was able to tell me China.The Seahorse case (a little bit smaller length, little bit deeper) is made in USA, is less money, and is perfect construction.

Was way too tiny. Not their fault. I guess I wasn't paying attention to dimensions.

I bought this for a christmas gift. It met my expections and the recipient was very pleased. Recipient has used it and said worked very well for his glock 9mm during transportation.

I bought a pelican case for my hand gun and spent almost twice what I did on this one. This case if fantastic. The foam, clasps, everything is just better, not to mention how much cheaper it is. Please don't buy Pelican. They're terrible. I wish I had never listened to the inaccurate Pelican reviews. Buy a vault case instead. Save yourself the headache, the time, and the money that I've already wasted. Seriously. You buy Pelican, you'll be disappointed. I'm returning mine for another one of these.

too small to be useful

This case is just as nice as my friends pelican case at half the price, so far it has seen 2 range trips and a flight complete with tsa screening (they made me come open the case because their scanners couldn't see through it. Very solid rigid design and fit 2 full size autos (FNP-45 and Sig P226) plus 4 mags and 3 boxes of 45 acp layered with one layer of foam removed. (UPDATE 09/21/2013) I have since flown 2 more times with this case and both times the tsa was able to scan it and did not require me to open it, still in perfect condition and still satisfied.
