What are the types of gun cases for a pistol?

Pistol gun cases can be divided into several categories, everyday carrying type, tactical/combat type and etiquette type.First of all, everyday carrying type, the material is generally divided into leather, cardboard or K-board and nylon。

         Leather gun cases are a long tradition in the United States, many old men like to carry revolver or 1911 pistol with leather gun cases.Leather gun cases in the United States tend to be a symbol of taste, many leather gun cases are purely handmade, and will use many precious animal skins.A good leather gun cases can sell for hundreds of dollars, which takes weeks or even months to produce.Of course, there are also many cheap mass production of leather gun cases such as Galco.Generally speaking, leather gun cases need to be maintained, the surface treatment of the handgun wear will be relatively large and time will be messy, resulting in safety problems, both when the gun is received, the gun cases may block the trigger, resulting in misfire. Then there are K-board cases. These cases have become very popular in recent years. The biggest advantage of K-board is that the K-board becomes soft after adding it. So you can make a gun case at home, with almost no requirements for technology. You can make a carrying case for anything, not only a gun, but also a magazine, handcuffs, tourniquets and so on. K-board is also lighter and thinner than gun cases, which is more suitable for daily concealed carrying. Because of its simple workmanship, convenient production and cheap raw materials, the overall price of K-board gun cases will be much lower. General K-board gun cases can be bought for only 15-30 dollars.Big brands or some more revolutionary designs of K-board gun cases can sell for 60-90 dollars.Some customized K-board gun cases can sell for 100-150 dollars, such as Tier 1 Concealed, T-Rex Arms and so on. Then there are tactical/combat gun cases.These cases are generally produced by Safariland or Blackhawk! These cases are characterized by thicker plastic, which can better protect a pistol. There are more ways to carry them than stand-carrying gun cases. They can be hung on the leg, worn on a tactical belt or tied to the MOLLE ribbon of a tactical vest.At the same time, these cases will use first, second and third levels of protection technology.There is no clear standard for how many levels of protection technology a gun case uses. Each company uses different standards. Generally speaking, each level of protection adds a mechanical procedure to lock the gun. Level 1 is generally considered to be a friction lock, level 2 would add a button release, and level 3 would add a button release lock or a lid to prevent the gun from falling out. The third type is the ceremonial holster, which is rarely available and is usually made of patent leather and simply uses friction to lock the gun. For example, officers at the Tomb of the Unknowns carry ceremonial holsters. Except for formal occasions, ceremonial holsters are a symbol of rank and represent the rank of the officer.
