Anyone who has traveled any distance with their firearms knows there are countless issues to contend with, including the airline’s rules and ensuring it is actually “legal” to possess throughout the journey. As anyone who has checked anything will tell you, bags often get tossed around, and that isn’t a concern to the TSA. Even when just driving to the range, there can be good reason, or local rules on the books, that require any handguns to be locked up.
Travel is stressful enough, and some of the worries can be mitigated with the new SnapSafe TrekLite Lock Box XL, which weighs in at just 1.5 pounds yet can hold a full-sized 1911 or similar-sized handgun. Despite its sleek design, it can still provide robust protection for those on the go.
Crafted from impact-resistant polycarbonate, the SnapSafe TrekLite offers the same protection as steel lock boxes and gun vaults of the same size but with one-third the weight. The rubber over-mold provides further durability and resilience, while the interior’s foam lining gently cradles the prized possessions inside.
The TrekLite Lock Box XL is equipped with a barrel key locking mechanism or 4-digit TSA lock, the latter offering 10,000 programmable codes. It also comes with a 1500-pound-rated security cable and a sturdy cable connector, ensuring integrity without sacrificing cargo space.
In addition to being ideal for firearms, it can also be used to secure medication and other valuables while it is small enough that it fits into a suitcase, drawer, or discreetly under a car seat. However, in the latter case, it is still advisable to check with local laws when transporting a firearm.
