Overview

All four cases come from the same VEVOR range and share common design choices: rigid polypropylene shells, pre-cut PU foam, pressure relief valves and an IP67-rated water/dust resistance. The key differences are internal volume, weight and how many pistols you can store.

If you often move multiple handguns between the range, storage or a competition, a larger multi-pistol case saves time and keeps items organised. If you need something discreet and lightweight for a single pistol or a travel-ready pair, the smaller cases are easier to handle and store.

Pre-cut foam is handy but generic: expect to trim or reconfigure cavities if you have unusual grips, optics or larger aftermarket parts. The cases are lockable, but check whether padlocks are supplied by the seller or need to be bought separately.

Before buying, measure your largest pistol with any sights, threaded barrels or magazines fitted. Also check airline rules and local legal requirements for transporting firearms or unloaded pistols in a locked case.

Detailed reviews

#1 VEVOR Hard Pistol Cases with Pre-cut Lining, Waterproof & Dustproof Hard Gun Case for 5 Pistol, 18.9×16.3×8.5 in Lockable Pistol Case, Black

This VEVOR model is the largest of the range suited to shooters who need to move multiple pistols or maintain a small collection in one case. It pairs a rigid polypropylene outer shell with pre‑cut PU foam to provide organised cavities and basic impact protection.

The case is advertised as IP67 water and dust resistant, includes a pressure relief valve for air travel and features two locking latches. Its internal and external dimensions make it broadly useful for pistols with modest optics, but larger accessories may need foam trimming or alternate storage arrangements.

Key features

  • Capacity: holds up to 5 pistols (pre‑cut foam)
  • Internal dimensions: 17.5 × 13.6 × 7.5 in (approx.)
  • External dimensions: 18.7 × 16.3 × 8.8 in (approx.)
  • IP67 water and dust resistance, pressure relief valve included
  • Hard shell made from polypropylene (PP) with PU foam interior

#2 VEVOR Hard Pistol Cases with Pre-cut PU Foam, Waterproof & Dustproof Hard Gun Case for 2 Pistol, 14.1×11.5×7.6 in Lockable Pistol Case, Black

This smaller VEVOR case keeps things compact without sacrificing the core protective features of the range. The pre‑cut PU foam provides two pistol cavities and basic organisation for a couple of magazines or small tools.

Its lighter weight and smaller footprint make it convenient for short trips, day‑to‑day storage or when you only need to transport a pair of handguns. Like the larger cases it includes a pressure relief valve and is designed to be lockable.

Key features

  • Capacity: holds up to 2 pistols with pre‑cut foam
  • Internal dimensions: 12.9 × 9.1 × 6.7 in (approx.)
  • External dimensions: 14.4 × 11.6 × 7.8 in (approx.)
  • IP67 water/dust resistance with pressure relief valve
  • Lightweight PP shell; interior lined in PU foam
  • Two locking latches; compact for storage and transport

#3 VEVOR Hard Pistol Cases with Pre-cut PU Foam, Waterproof & Dustproof Hard Gun Case for 6 Pistol, 19.3×17.1×8.3 in Lockable Pistol Case, Black

This model prioritises capacity while keeping the same protective design language as the rest of the range. With room for six pistols it suits collectors, coaches or competitors who want multiple guns transported together and kept tidy.

It’s larger and heavier than the smaller models, so think about how you’ll move it and whether you need the extra slots. The case still uses pre‑cut PU foam, two latches and a pressure relief valve, and it keeps storage straightforward for multiple items.

Key features

  • Capacity: holds up to 6 pistols with pre‑cut foam
  • Internal dimensions: 18.3 × 14.6 × 7.5 in (approx.)
  • External dimensions: 19.3 × 17.1 × 8.3 in (approx.)
  • IP67 water and dust resistance; pressure relief valve
  • PP shell with PU foam interior for impact cushioning
  • Two lockable latches; larger footprint for collections

#4 VEVOR Hard Pistol Cases with Pre-cut PU Foam, Waterproof & Dustproof Hard Gun Case for 1 Pistol, 12.59×9.01×4.4 in Lockable Pistol Case, Black

This single‑pistol case keeps the design simple and compact: a small outer shell, pre‑cut PU foam for one pistol, and basic water/dust resistance. It’s the most portable option in this roundup and ideal if you only need to carry one handgun with minimal extras.

The case’s compact internal dimensions suit most standard handguns without large optics. As with the other models, you’ll want to check whether padlocks are included and be prepared to trim the foam if your pistol has an extended sight or suppressor mount.

Key features

  • Capacity: holds 1 pistol with pre‑cut foam cavity
  • Internal dimensions: 11.8 × 7.5 × 3.5 in (approx.)
  • External dimensions: 12.6 × 9.4 × 4.6 in (approx.)
  • IP67 water and dust resistance with pressure relief valve
  • Lightweight PP shell and PU interior for basic protection
  • Two latches with lockable holes; highly portable footprint

Buying guide

Choose a case by internal dimensions and capacity rather than just external size. Think about how many pistols you’ll transport now and in future, and whether you need space for magazines, tools and a cleaning kit. Pre‑cut PU foam saves setup time but expect to rework cavities for optics or suppressors. Check the waterproof rating (IP67 is common here), the material of external latches (PP is light but not metal) and whether a pressure relief valve is included for air travel. Finally, verify current prices and whether padlocks or keys are included—many cases are sold lockable but without locks.

FAQs

Are these cases waterproof enough for heavy rain?

The cases are advertised with an IP67 water/dust rating, which means they should resist immersion to a shallow depth for a short time and keep out most dust. For prolonged submersion or heavy marine use, choose a specialist marine-grade case.

Can I take these cases on a plane?

Each case has a pressure relief valve and is lockable, which helps with air travel, but airline and national rules on transporting firearms vary. Always check the airline’s policy and legal requirements before travelling.

Do the pre-cut foam inserts protect pistols with optics or threaded barrels?

Pre-cut foam is a good starting point, but large optics, suppressors or extended barrels often need additional trimming or a different foam layout to fit safely. Expect to customise the foam for non-standard configurations.

Our recommended choice

The five‑pistol VEVOR case balances capacity, protection and value for shooters who carry several handguns or want extra space for magazines and accessories. It’s the most versatile option in this line-up while still sharing the same protective features as the smaller cases.
