5/5
I live in a pretty old school household. Parents didnt even like me drinking protein powder for the gym. So if they ever found out about my extracurricular activities id be skinned alive. 100% smell proof, with a little help from other smell proof containers. Keeps everything protected and secure and super organized ! Also if you have a lot of tools and drill bits or other gun cases this thing will blend in plain sight. 10/10 recommend for anybody trying to hide a smell they don’t want out in the open. Hopefully this inspires somebody else to enjoy their hobbies without getting caught, cheers !

The Perfect size for a mirrorless camera and accessories
I was in need of a tough camera case that I could trust to be watertight for kayaking. The Pelican Storm iM2050 case worked out perfectly for my needs.
Things that comfortably fit:
1. Sony a6500 body with any lens attached up to the E 18–200 mm F3.5-6.3 OSS, which is a fairly large lens.
2. An additional lens if I need a good prime for landscape opportunities.
3. Two additional batteries for extended outings.
4. Extra memory cards.
5. The camera battery charger fits inside of the 18-200 lens hood, which also fits (see attached images).
I don't really need the charger while kayaking, but it's nice that it also fits in this case if I want to take a small camera kit with me on a quick trip. Overall, this case works perfect for my application. It actually stores even more than I thought it would, plus the fit and finish is excellent which is typical of all Pelican cases. I especially like the press-and-pull latches so there's no way of unintentionally opening the case. I also really like the pick-and-pluck foam that it comes with. The pick-and-pluck foam made it extremely easy to customize the case to my specific gear, which only took about 10 minutes. Every thing has a nice snug fit, and nothing shifts around at all as I move the case around. I feel like I could drop the case without any need to fear damaging the equipment stored inside. It's a very secure and watertight case for sensitive camera gear and I'm glad I purchased it.
I also bought this tether so I can attach it to my kayak just in case of an incident, and it works great for this application:

Great
I ordered this so that I could fly and take a firearm with me to my destination. In this case I am able to fit a full size 4.7” barrel pistol, a concealed carry 3.1” barrel pistol, and I made a cutout on the bottom layer of foam to carry 3 magazines. The case is very secure and sturdy, and I would absolutely order another one.

Mine came with foam.
I actually bought this for myself as an early Christmas present. My only concern was that there were a couple of reviews saying that their cases didn't come with foam, which would make it more expensive to have to purchase that separately. However, mine did include the foam, so they seem to have fixed the problem if there was one at some point with that.
It appears to be sturdy and very well made; I expect it will be more than sufficient for my purposes. I wanted a good, solid super rugged case that was suitable for air travel and all weather types and this definitely fits the bill.
The latches weren't something I was used to as I have never owned a Pelican case before, so it was a bit odd to press the button while pulling the latch, but it ended up being easier to open than I suspected while also giving me confidence that it won't be easily jostled open by accident. I actually bought the storm variety Pelican case over the Pelican 1200 that I was also considering after reading reviews that mentioned that these latches were a bit better in that respect.
I was really impressed with the quality of this case and I think this is a very good investment. Even though it might seem a bit pricy for just being a case, it appears to be worth every penny and I expect to get many good years of use out of it. I also love that it is made in the USA and I wish more companies would take as much pride in their work to make quality products like this rather than things that fall apart and constantly have to be repurchased.
If I ever need another case like this, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one just like it and I would highly recommend it to others.

There is no other brand other than pelican
I have used these in many real world travels. They are pelican what more can you say. Another great product from Pelican. This case makes the 20 plus cases in collections. I used in the military and they did nothing but work every time. I now have even purchased their luggage collection. Just can’t say how good they are. Protecting my guns, cameras and other very expensive equipment. I am a pelican owner for life

Great case for a handgun
This case meets or exceeds my expectations in all regards. I can't really think of any way they could make it better, and the price is very reasonable. I use it to store a handgun with 2 magazines. The foam that it comes with is quite easy to cut to your desired need.
Here's a tip if your product is shallow: first cut an outline of your product (can use a kitchen knife) all the way through the foam. Remove the cutout, then slice it in the Z-direction (depth) to match the depth of your product. For my handgun I just cut it in half, which was maybe an inch. Now stick the cutout back in, and bingo. You have a foam cutout that does not go all the way through.

Safe and secure
The case was a perfect fit for a large arbor salt water fly reel and one extra spool, laid flat. The ‘pluck and pull’ foam cubes work well, even for a circular item. Am about to put it to the test, traveling out of the country to fish the flats of the western Caribbean. The case fits in my carry-on, but on the plane or boat or everywhere in between I feel secure that it (several hundred dollars worth of machined aluminum) isn’t getting smashed, bent and abused. One of the main pieces of equip you can’t do without so far from home. Pretty reasonable cost/investment for that kind of concern. All my Pelican cases have worked that way-keeping all contents safe and secure from here to wherever.

Perfect case for Glock 19
The case is perfect for my Glock 19 (or 45), two 25-count boxes of ammo, and two magazines. The latches are easy to open, but not in such a way as to be prone to accidental openings. They close easily, even when the case is packed. I am thrilled with my purchase and can’t wait for my next commercial flight.

Great cases
I own several Pelican cases of many different sizes to protect sensitive electronics and tools from shock and moisture. They have never let me down. While a bit pricey, you get what you pay for. I have years and years of reliable service under extensive use and travel.
Question & Answer
Question :
Is this the pick and pluck type foam? Would it fit a full sized pistol?
Answer :
The lit is the egg carton type. The lower is a thick foam that is easy to pick or pluck as you say. Small cuts are already in the foam like little squares. Yes a full size 1911 45 will fit with ease. Worked great for me.
Question :
Is this case tsa compliant for traveling with a firearm? the listing references the tsa locks, this is incorrect. tsa only wants owner having access

Yes, TSA compliant as long as you put a lock on each side so the case can't be pried open, but you're correct, locks that TSA can open by themselves are not able to be used on cases when transporting a firearm.
