ScotP7Soft pistol case with (tiny) integrated zipper lock?
Does anyone know what I am talking about, and better yet, know who sells them?
I have a couple, and they are great, but they are wearing out.
All are soft padded cases with a one way zipper that has at its end small lock built into the zipper. IE, they don't require a separate little padlock, and they are opened by a very small, pretty universal key.
Not for the highest tech security, but they do keep a handgun in a suitable and very compact case for transport, aren't generally obvious what they are holding, do keep prying curious hands out, and meet most legal requirements for (non airline) transport.
Somehow I was sure 5.11 Tactical had them, but when I went to take advantage of their Black Friday deal (check it out), I noted they are zippers requiring padlocks.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Scott

soggy_spinoutAllen makes a range of different sized pistol rugs with integral locks. However, I'm not sure how 'pretty' the provided keys are.

ScotP7Thank you very much!
Haven't been able to find them.
They used to come in rectangular cases that looked like they were holding a computer tablet. Has anyone seen those?

dusty3030I know these aren't exactly what you are picturing and are a tad pricey, but they are nice.
I use one traveling and it has held up well. It has integrated zipper lock and it looks like a regular pad folio and doesn't scream gun case.

Black92LXI have a Boyt pistol rug. It has a brass ring on one end and you can lock the zipper to the ring.

ScotP7All,
Thank you all.
The magnetic locking case I think may be closest to what I'm looking for. This Forum is great.
Dusty -- May I ask, if you have one, what size you use, and what it typically, real world accomodates? And any issues besides price?

dusty3030Medium is G19 and an extra mag at most.
Has held up well. I use it to tuck out my bigger EDC that I don't give a crap about (older M&Pc 9mm) but I need to keep secure because of kids / etc around. I keep it in my briefcase all the time.

Dusty,
Thanks very much.
Sounds like the internal usable space is MUCH less than the external dimensions. I think I will order a full size to try to have the option to squeeze in two compacts, or two subcompact, if the situation arises.
Appreciate the useful info.
