Handgun cases can serve a couple of purposes, but it really depends on your need for one. If you only need to transport your handgun to the shooting range or out for some hunting, then you could possibly get away with an inexpensive soft case. For anything beyond those needs, a hard case will be better for you. If you intend to travel by plane with your gear, make sure you’re aware of all TSA guidelines and requirements for a handgun case. Hard cases also tend to be better if you are storing your guns inside them at home. Hard cases can be padlocked and are difficult to break into or smash open.

Magorui Compact Size Handgun Case

Materials — The Magorui handgun case has an exterior made of durable plastic. The manufacturers also built this handgun case out of hard plastic with a padded foam interior to securely place your compact gun and some magazines. You’ll also find this case spacious as you can add some extra magazines and other accessories that go with your handgun. And like the other hard cases in this list, you can close it effortlessly using its double throw latches. In addition, it has a loop where you can add a secure lock. Because of its plastic exterior, it’s also rustproof, waterproof, and you can ensure that your gun is dry and safe inside. Furthermore, this case comes at an affordable price. It also has three different color options available: black, grey, and tan.

Performance — This handgun case sports a simple yet sleek design. Storing your pistols in this case allows your handgun to be protected from dust and extreme weather conditions. In addition, its hard plastic material enables it to withstand heavyweights. The foam padding also ensures that your is safe and secured in place. However, if you prefer cases with a cut-out pistol shape for their foam, you might need to consider other options available.

What We Say — I suggest that you choose the color black because personally, it’s the best color option. This case can only fit one handgun and a few accessories in it. It’s an excellent option for those who want extra protection for their handgun at an affordable price.

Drago Gear Double Pistol Case

Materials — This first option is a multiple handgun case from Drago Gear, and it’s the only soft case within this review. It’s made with a durable nylon material that will be resistant to rips and tears. It is available in either all black or olive drab green. The dimensions of this case are 12.5 inches wide and 9.5 inches tall. Featured in the handgun case are two compartments. The main compartment has two pockets within it, one for each handgun. There is enough room to store extra gear or an accessory in either of the pockets. The second compartment is smaller, and it is also suitable for extra gear. Both compartments close with heavy-duty, non-rusting zippers with pull cords. At the top of the multiple handguns, there is two nylon carrying straps.

Performance — If you don’t do a lot of traveling with your handguns, but you need to transport your gear to and from the shooting range, then this is the best choice for you. The Drago Gear Pistol Case is okay for storing weapons at home too, but there isn’t anything keeping your handguns particularly secure. We suppose you could padlock the zippers of the two compartments together, but we’re not certain how effective that would be. The nylon material is durable and easy to wipe clean when you need to. The open pocket system allows you to utilize the storage in basically any way you need to. Don’t try to pack more than two weapons in here, however.

What we say — This is the best multiple handgun case for shooters that just need a simple way to carry their gear at the range or to and from locations. This option also has the comfiest handle out of our selections in this review as well.

Pelican 1170 Case with Foam

Materials — The Pelican hard case is made of an outer material that is entirely waterproof and dustproof with an O-ring seal. It cannot be crushed or smashed under heavyweight, either. Inside this case is a single space that is just under 11 inches wide and 6 inches tall. Also inside is Pick N Pluck foam, which will protect your handgun and any additional gear you can fit inside. The case closes with a pair of double throw latches. Most impressive is the automatic pressure equalization valve, allowing the case to withstand a variety of temperatures and moisture levels. You can buy this case in black, desert tan, orange, silver, yellow, or olive drab green. Pelican offers a lifetime warranty for any damage.

Performance — This option is easily one of the best handgun cases for anyone who will be traveling through various weather situations and even altitude changes. Between the O-ring seal and multiple layers of hard casing and dense foam, your handgun will be safe from rain, snow, fog, and being dropped or banged into something. However, what really wins us over is the automatic pressure equalization valve. That feature will also ensure that your handgun won’t rattle around between the padding. There is just enough space for a single full-sized pistol with a magazine.

What we say — The Pelican Hard Case is the best handgun case for those transporting only one handgun and is concerned with weather conditions, extreme temperatures, or is traveling to anew altitude. Check it onto a flight or stow it in your car’s trunk for transporting.

Case Club Waterproof 4 Pistol Case

Materials — The Case Club multiple handgun case is made of a plastic exterior that is sealed to be resistant to water, dust, and rust. Inside the case is a closed-cell foam insert made of military-grade polyethylene. The padding can be wiped clean, and there are four slots to hold up to four handguns. Also included are slots for up to 12 magazines. The case shuts with two latches and can be padlocked. It is only available in black, but the case has been approved for airline-checked luggage. There is a single plastic carrying handle at the top of the case. Case Club includes a lifetime warranty with its product.

Performance — Quite easy to see, if you are transporting multiple handguns, then this is the case for you. Compared to our other selections in this review, the Case Club pistol case carries the most handguns. It’s also the best for airport travel. It’s TSA approved and it’s highly protective. If you’re not big on travel, it even makes a great case for storing and protecting your weapons at home. Similar to the previous option, there are special slots carved out in the padding for your weapons, but they’re large enough that really any size handgun will fit comfortably. It is certainly more expensive than the rest, so only make the investment if you actually own more than two handguns.

What we say — This is the best multiple handgun case for gun owners with three or more weapons, and they want to transport a handful of magazines as well. This is the most ideal for longer-term travel or a lot of airport travel.

Our Favorite Handgun Case

We decided that our favorite handgun case of the four here was the Magorui Compact Handgun Case. While there are certainly some impressive cases in this list, like the Case Club option and the Pelican, we’re guessing the average gun owner is not toting four weapons on a regular basis. We also need to factor in the price. The Magorui case is small, lightweight, and it can satisfy gun owners heading to the range or gun owners traveling a greater distance with their weapon. You can padlock it shut, and you can be confident that your gear will be protected from all-weather elements.
