I've used these cases to store pistols, take them to the range, and even to fly with them. They are great cases for the price. Obviously not as high quality as something like a pelican case, but in my opinion the value vs cost makes these cases a no brainer. Cheaper than buying replacement foam for a pelican case in many instances.
I recently bought two Pelican pistol cases from a local thrift store for well under $100 each, both were in excellent condition, one still had the foam, which was uncut. Talk about luck.
These really are great for the money. Have one thats 3 years old thats been living in a truck, forgotten in the bed, rained on, exposed to chemicals, dropped, and opened/closed hundreds of times. Everything is still in great condition.
Just got the 5800 (the wheeled version).... reg. 99.00... it was 1/2 off. Today only (may 13) and one to a customer. Maybe our California friends will see this and take a look at it. They are as solid as Rando says. Good video! Thanks for making this
I have one of these. I wasn't crazy about the pick 'n pluck foam, so I ordered a custom insert for it and it looks & works great. I found a custom insert for a Pelican case that fit this one perfectly. You really can't beat the value of these cases. For a short time Sam's club sold a similar case for an incredible $20, but that's long gone.
Was searching youtube for Apache 4800 reviews and found your video, thanks. Heads up for anyone else looking at these cases - Monday May 13th Harbor Freight has a one-day coupon for 50% off any Apache case
The more you use it the foam will start breaking. Spray the top with black Plastidip and it keeps the foam together. It also makes it easier taking things out!
Nice info. I just bought my first 9mm and will add more to the collection. That was a cool case. You never mentioned the coast,just that it was reasonably priced. Only thing i dont like about it was anyone could pick it up and walk off with your collection. An idea i had was i have wood floors in my house. Might look into lagg screws into the wood from the inside of the box then locks on the outside when closed. Really like the way you put them in. Most people lay them flat in between the two layers. Ty for the video. Good stuff.
Cost wise , full price is around 60, at times they run 50%off sales or they even have 10-20% off coupons. I agree theft is a downfall . With one loss of a box your whole collection could be gone. I’d definitely recommend a gun safe for in the home and using the box mainly for transport. That being said lagging it down and locking it would ensure it doesn’t walk off easily.
I picked up 2 ex-military Pelican Storm case im2600's that originally held AN/PLQ-11 countermeasure set, for $15 each. So I do need new foam for my camera equipment or a drone, or whatnot, but they were a heck of a deal. Deals are out there, just need to look for them. The Apache cases aren't bad, maybe a little overpriced for what they are with surplus Pelicans out there, for certain sizes. I have 4 sizes of Apache 1800, 3800, 4800, and 9600. I would like to get a pair of orange cases for the car to hold road emergency gear like flares and jumpbox and first aid stuff. Overall not bad boxes but the ad propaganda of HF 'beats" all other brands is laughable.
There are definitely deals out there to be had. The Apache aren’t bad for what they especially when on sale. Definitely better out there and definitely some worse but for the sale prices they will suit . Take care
I have that box and a couple other sizes. These are great. The price has gone up a lot but they can be had for a great price when Harbor Freight has their sales.
A day before this video dropped Harbor Freight had a 50% off all of these. I bought this very one for $32 and some change.I’m so glad o opened that email that morning. Had I shown up that afternoon they would’ve been gone!
These cases are extremely cost effective. Unless you are packing expensive equipment and expect to drop the cases on a busy highway or lug it through a rain forest, these are more than enough. I replaced the pick-apart foam with padded work mats from Home Deport and interlocking floor mats.
Hey man, if you’re still answering questions(Or anyone else), what would you say is a good way to cut this in terms of planning ahead? I only have two pistols right now that I’d be looking to store(Other two are in bedside safe) but I’d like to plan ahead for the future. Planning on buying this case and using plastidip like in the second video. Also, if you recommend gluing them together when you complete it, would you recommend something like contact cement or would spray glue be better. Thanks!
@@pogimus9181 hey there, for planning ahead I would say plot out how many you plan on getting and cut for that especially if you plan on spraying it. Spray glue should be adequate. If you plan on doing as many as I have it still leaves plenty of room for mags but you of do less that you will have a ton of room to lay your mags out.
That’s a good phrase for this instance. You’re absolutely right though and I will be keeping an eye on it always. Or I will let it in my locked vehicle which is parked right behind me. Take care
I have several of these and they've been great. I only had one issue where the pressure relief valve didn't work and the top of the case got "sucked in" on an airplane.
@@RandoWayne It didn't cause any damage, but it is stuck that way... I travel with firearms A LOT, and I would definitely still recommend them after this little hiccup.
The slides and firearms are as follows from the left. Sig Xmacro tacops, psa micro dagger frame and aimsurplus g43 slide with ported barrel, psa micro dagger mc1 full firearm, psa full size frame with aimsurplus slide and psa threaded barrel, grit grips frame with psa dagger slide, grit grips full gg19 slide is cut and has a ported barrel also. Last on the right is a Glock 35. Thank you for watching, take care.
Hey, you say it's budget friendly but I didn't hear you say a price, and I don't see it anywhere in your description or any links. So what's the price lol??
These seem to be a great alternative to the pelican cases, I'll definty be picking one up next time they are on sale, Thanks for the review...........Side note what knife is that your using to cut the foam?
It honestly took a while to get used to but now it’s second nature. When I draw now the red dot or green, is in a natural view area with both eyes open.
these apache cases are great! i use a slightly smaller one for my camera gear, definitely one of the best hard cases for "delicate" valuables especially for it's price
Foam breaks down over time and from chemicals. Never mind retaining moisture in the case, I wouldnt store my guns in any case like that. Great for transport, not for storing.
Affirmative. I live in south Florida where it is very humid and you’re gonna have some rust and damaged bluing if you leave a firearm in a foam case in this climate. I’m a retired gun dealer so I have a lot of firearms and unfortunately I spray an anti rust aerosol tacky grease type coating on them for long term storage.
@@onionhead5780 that’s a good idea, humidity is a big factor when thinking of proper storage. When I was a kid my dad kept some long rifles in the basement in a cheap safe and sue to the moisture of just that that all had some pitting.
One of the first travel cases I bought. The medium-ish sized one. I could fit 2 pistols laying down inbetween the foam and 2 on top with a layer of foam over that. (Foam was cut/pulled to fit them. Very easy and at the time I think $30. Two lockable rings, and that pressure knob thingy I forget the name of. Had it for years without any issues.
@@RandoWayne Plus if you ever really need to; save the foam and a little dab of glue to stick em back together to redesign the layout. These block tear away foam inserts can be reused like that a lot easier than a solid piece of foam.
Nice looking case. I dislike that type of foam. it is open cell and will wear out the finish on your pistols. I just to dot like to prematurely wear off the finish. Open cell foam is an abrasive.
@@RandoWayne That is what I did and the safety levers, well everything that protruded on my CZ SP-01 and other toys had finish wear and it happened fairly quickly. When I used the case after that I always used a rag or towel to keep the foam from doing further damage. I then started to use Savior range bags and pistol sleeves. I actually sometimes use the sleeves and just stack them inside my hard case (when I take too many toys to the range). Keep an eye on it for sure. You might not have issues. Do a search for "foam polishing pad" and you will see similar foam is used to "cut" and polish auto and other finishes.
That makes sense though, I remember buffing cars when I was younger with a foam pad so I’m sure it will happen. Thanks for sharing though and looking out for everyone
This is certainly a "cheaper" way to do things, but cost vs value are two different things. Yes, this may be cheaper than a dedicated, purpose-built gun case, but I don't see the value here. $60 for the Apache 4800, plus $10 for Plasti-dip, plus your time and effort, and all you have is just an "OK" solution to store/carry your pistols. For $150 you can get a Condition 1 case with far better foam and much better gun retention. Or if that's too much for you, a Case Club for $100-130, again, with way better foam and gun retention(and it comes with a rechargeable silica canister). Far better value for a far superior gun case, and really, $30-100 more shouldn't be an issue when you have $1000s worth of firearms inside. The kicker is they're both made in the USA... if that's worth anything to you.
That’s fair, the cases I have I did buy at the time of thier 50% sale so that did cut the cost in half. I always recommend people do what fits them best but in this ‘case’ I decided to show what I was doing for others that may want general information. I know there are “better” options and even ones that are made in the USA. I always try to support made in the USA when I can, I mean I was made here I think, my parents didn’t vacation out of the country around that time so I’m thinking I was.. anyways I do like the rechargeable silica canister notion! Take care
I’m not really sure how to respond to this? If you’re trying to be offensive it’s a poor attempt and really pointless to “try” to find fault in others. Take care
Never store your firearms in foam cases or even rifles in soft cases they absorb moisture and will cause rusting. These should only be used for transport.
@@RandoWayne Not upset, just thought it was funny…as soon as I saw the brand and you mentioned the store, I was about to bounce over to Harbor freight and check, but I thought nah… he’ll tell us. Lol.
Check out part 2 here! Spoiler alert, I plasti dip it.

That’s good to know, I like things that can stand some abuse and last.
I spray glue the 2 pieces of foam together. Then, flex seal the foam helps it from eventually coming apart after repeatedly taking stuff in and out.
That’s a good idea! Thanks for sharing
@RandoWayne .... no problem, there are a lot of videos on UA-cam about it
Thank you! Take care
yes the flex seal is amazing. I did 3 coats and it has held up for a couple years so far
I use Plastidip…but flex seal sounds more robust.
I may have to try out on my next one.
I have that for range days!! Easy to remove the foam and tough case. Just layout how you want it before you remove the foam.
These are definitely range day essentials!

Nice! I grabbed the rifle case today. Couldn’t pass up the deals. Take care!
I grabbed the same 5800 case for half off at harbor freight as well. What a deal.
Case club makes a high density form insert, just pull the pieces you don't need and can put back in if you need them. I have it for my case as well.
That’s a great suggestion, I’ll have to check them out. Thanks, take care
Thanks for watching. I do enjoy some cost effective options and I’ll definitely be getting another one.
You should spray the foam with plasti dip it'll keep the foam from tearing over time and keep it rigid.
@@LetsgoBrandon2023 that’s a great idea! I’m going to do this along with binding the 2 layers.

You should install some sort of silica in the case as well. Not sure where you are located but moisture is a thing.
You’re right, moisture is a problem and can definitely be a burden if using these for gun storage in a moisture rich environment.

I'd never store a firearm against foam, transport is fine, asking for rust for those blued weapons ...
I understand that, I like them for transportation
@@RandoWayne Had good luck throwing a rechargeable desiccant canister in there too.
Cool video.
Thank you
3:43 muscle memory

Buy Chinesium, no room for complacency
Thanks for the view! Take care
Your welcome. Just tryin to alter the algorithm to your benefit
Never store your firearms in foam cases or even rifles in soft cases they absorb moisture and will cause rusting. These should only be used for transport.
Thats why you keep the silicone pack in the box and add more if needed.
Transport is why I did this. I have a safe for storage
I’m at the end and you never said the price… I guess good way to get me to watch the whole video…
Sorry thought I did, also the comments do highlight the price a few times but thanks for watching
@@RandoWayne Not upset, just thought it was funny…as soon as I saw the brand and you mentioned the store, I was about to bounce over to Harbor freight and check, but I thought nah… he’ll tell us. Lol.
They are 60$ but recently had a sale for half off
@@RandoWayne that’s a steal! I’ll wait for a sale, I like the orange.
Since you’re here, my first pew pew was (recently) a TP9SC do I go TTI, or Sft pro or a different brand entirely for number two?
The valve on the front is for flying
Yes for pressure? I figured it if tightened in would also aid with keeping waterproof. Thanks for sharing!
4:39 What fun is it if they are unloaded? 😒
Giddy up
These are nice
Definitely!
put all your pistols in an easy to steal case!
Thanks for watching!
Nice for sure. Thanks for the idea.
No problem, take care
Looks good
I have 4 of these I use for camping gear.
I’ll sag another and build what you did.
Great cases for the money!
Definitely! Take care!
Travis?
Not sure who Travis is but thanks for watching
Excellent vid! Very helpful!
Thanks, I’ll be dropping the video today of plasti dipping it
same case with a different name cheaper on amazon. Willing to bet they made in the same factory in China.
Anything is possible? Kind of like optics as well
