    I like these because they are all Al and the handle/roller set up is really nice.

    I received my black im3300 from Larue Tactical on Friday. My initial impressions are that the quality of the injection molding is not up to my standards. In a few places there are splay marks and a big ugly splay mark on the top of the case. The Pelican's that I have seen have been better. Having worked in plastics for the automotive industry I know what it "should" look like. For all of you reading my post please understand that my minor complaint is only about the cosmetics and that should in no way effect the function of the case.

    Look at it this way a RRA or a Bushy is often finished better and has a better fit than a Colt or LMT but what would you rather have for hard use?

    without reading all of the other posts, I'll give my opinion. Besides being a firearm enthusiast, I'm also a professional photographer. For the price similarity between the two, the Storm cases take the cake for me. I wouldn't trust my $50k in camera gear to a Pelican. It just didn't seem to "do it". I keep my cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment in two Storm cases. I tried Pelican, but wasn't terribly impressed.

    Hardigg Storm any day of the week. The latches are so much easier to use and the fit/finish is much better. Very solid case.

    this is not an ad

    I don't sell Storm or Pelican. I sell Starlight. The Starlight are heavy and nearly indestructible. I have been told that the Storm have a similar toughness to them.

    True Story:

    A few years ago, I was at a gunshow and had the Starlight cases on display. A guy and his buddy stop. Guy explains to his buddy that his company has a bunch of Pelican and a bunch of Starlight cases. These cases are used to send expensive electronics test equipment and other sensitive gear all over the country with techs on planes.

    Every year, they send 30% of their Pelican cases back for warranty repair or replacement. They have never sent back a Starlight.

    I don't know anything more except what the guy explained to his buddy in front of my "booth." But based on this story, I would not buy the Pelican. Storm cases have a good rep based on what others have told me but I have no personal experience.
