Hard Cases for Handguns: Sizes & Specs
These hard cases for handguns come in three footprints — the 8" compact, the 11-inch class (11.6"), and the full-size 13.37". Every size includes customizable pluck-and-pull foam, an IP67 waterproof seal, a pressure equalization valve, and lockable hasps, so any option works as a TSA pistol case, a travel pistol case, or an everyday glock box for the range. The 11.6" model is the most popular Glock 19 case, with foam depth for a mounted red-dot and spare magazines, while the 8" fits subcompacts like the Glock 43. Need a glock lockable gun case or a glock pistol case with lock for vehicle or home storage? The hasps accept standard padlocks, so every size doubles as a portable glock lock box.

Glock Lock Box & Storage Case Options
Beyond checked baggage, every model here doubles as a glock lock box for home, vehicle, and range storage — snap a padlock through the hasps and you have a glock lockable case ready for secure transport. The 11-inch class (11.6") is the most requested glock handgun case, with pluck-and-pull foam that fits a Glock 19 or 17 with a mounted optic plus spare magazines. Prefer a smaller glock gun box? The 8" compact holds a Glock 43, 43X, or 26, while the 13.37" full-size carries a Glock 17 with optic and accessories. Each size is also a TSA approved gun case when padlocked for checked baggage.
Shopping for pistol cases TSA approved agents will accept at the counter? Unlike a soft glock handgun bag, a rigid traveling gun case with padlock-ready hasps meets checked-baggage rules and shrugs off range-day abuse — pick the case Glock owners trust in 8", 11.6", or 13.37".
Lockable Pistol Cases for the Range and Travel
Need a pistol case lockable enough for the airline counter and tough enough for weekly range trips? Every case here pairs padlock-ready hasps with an IP67 seal and a pressure equalization valve, making it a dependable travel pistol case and everyday carry case for pistol transport. The 11 inch class (11.6") is the go-to range pistol case for a Glock 19 or 17 with a mounted optic, while the 8" compact drops into a range bag with a subcompact and spare mags. Padlock the hasps and the same glock lockable gun case flies as a TSA-compliant checked-baggage container. It's the gun case pistol owners reach for on range days, and the 11.6" is equally popular as a pistol travel case for road trips and flights.
TSA Approved Gun Cases: FAQ
TSA rules for flying with a firearm: the gun must be unloaded, packed in a locked, hard-sided case, transported in checked baggage only, and declared to the airline at check-in. Eylar compact gun cases meet these requirements with rigid, IP67-sealed shells and lockable hasps that accept standard padlocks.
What makes a gun case TSA approved?
TSA does not certify specific cases. A TSA compliant gun case must be hard-sided, fully lockable, and unable to be pulled open when locked. Eylar's rigid shells, IP67 gasket seals, and padlock-ready hasps meet every published requirement, which is why travelers choose these gun cases TSA approved agents accept at check-in.
Can I use these as a TSA approved handgun case for flying?
Yes. A handgun case TSA approved for flying must be hard-sided and locked, with the unloaded firearm declared at the airline counter and checked — never carried on. Every glock case here qualifies: padlock the hasps, declare the firearm at check-in, and the case travels as checked baggage.
Is this a waterproof pistol case with foam?
Yes. Each size is a waterproof pistol case with foam: an IP67-rated gasket seal keeps out water and dust, a pressure equalization valve prevents vacuum lock after altitude changes, and customizable pluck-and-pull foam lets you cut a snug cavity for your pistol, optic, and spare magazines.
Which size is the best Glock 19 hard case?
The 11.6" model is the most popular glock 19 hard case — the foam depth accommodates a Glock 19 or 17 with a mounted red-dot plus spare magazines. For subcompacts like the Glock 43 or 26, choose the 8" compact; for a full-size pistol with extra accessories, the 13.37" is the better glock hard case.
