Is this case a good fit for a 9mm and is it TSA approved?

i've got a PX4 and a full size 1911 9mm that i have in their boxes, so yes i believe any full sized 9mm pistol will fit (with a couple mags too)...can't give you an answer about TSA approval...

Hi, I bought the 10" case for my son who has a Ruger SR9, which is larger than the LC9 and it worked perfectly for him. But he said it should be good for you, too, since you have the laser sight.

Only if they have the key. When I shipped my firearms to AK this summer, I followed the airlines instructions about putting them in my luggage. The went there and came back without an issue. I used a nylon fastener to secure my luggage. The case is fiberglass and may be x-rayed, why would the TSA need access, thereby leaving you liable to theft by airline employees etc.? You need to further study the regulations.

I have used this case on a flight successfully by locking this case with non-TSA locks and putting this locked case inside another unlocked larger checked piece of luggage. I suppose that I could have put TSA-Approved locks on the outer luggage, but they did not seem to care. TSA wanted to know that the piece of luggage contained a locked case with the pistols w/o ammunition inside. I did not try to stuff 4 semi-automatic pistols inside; 3 seemed to fit comfortably with spare clips. Depends on the pistols, caliber, and clip sizes.

My smith and Wesson 9 fits snug... It's same size as a glock. In a case of having to pull it quick your in trouble... I wouldn't recomend for full size.

Has room for 4, but I think you could put 3 on and be fine for airport security. It's a very nice case, very happy with it.

Yes. It's a great case. I can put in two rifles and a pistol. I also have put in ammo and ear protection and targets. I wear glasses so I don't use eye protection.

Not sure about the Ruger but, the 1911 frame fits perfectly. I have a Colt 1911 government model that fits into the box nicely. Not only does the pistol fit nicely but, there is still room for a ammo box of 50. I highly recommend this lock box. It is also TSA approved. We check our bags at San Antonio International Airport on our way to Orlando Florida and had no problems either way. The box comes with a steel cable lanyard and two keys. The main reason I purchased this box was the fact that you could use a key or the combo lock.

I think you'll be fine. I have an M9A in mine. The case gaps just a bit because the grips/magazine are so think. A 1911 will definitely be much thinner than mine.

In point of fact, this case is fine for air travel. Just make sure it's locked and declare it with your airline at check-in.

I have the Ruger LC9 with the Laser Max and it fits perfectly in this case with room for an extra magazine!

It works just fine for my 9mm glock 17 - it fits real nice and snugg. It kinda "snaps" into place. I'm guessing it would be just fine for a .45 but I can't say that from experience.

As the others noted, the zippers have eyelets for small luggage type locks. This was not a deal breaker for me. The case is great for carrying my AR-15 and AR. 22. The side pockets carry plenty of mags and are detachable and another pocket for a pistol. I use it to carry and not secure my rifles. If security is important to you, look elsewhere.

Agree with answers from others. I have laptop with same dimensions (actually thicker) and it fits fine. This is really a useful case. I've used it for traveling every other week (flying) for the past year and it's performed well. Really like that it's TSA approved so I don't have to take the laptop out through security.

I purchased this case to hall all of my guns when I made my move out of state. I checked it with several other cases and had no problems what so ever. ( it's very close to the airlines specs)

I answered incorrectly before. I thought you were talking about the Tactical Operator belt. The belt on the left has a plastic buckle and no metal. Should not be a TSA problem.

The case does have a lock built in but it is probably not TSA approved. You would have to add a TSA approved locking device of some kind.
