Armament : 2015-11

My dad bought me a new pistol for Thanksgiving!  It is a Sig Sauer P226 (an MK25 to be more accurate) which is great since my previous 9mm didn't load the first shell very smoothly.  That is a Jimenez Arms JA Nine.  The funny thing is I brought home my new 12 gauge to test fire.  A pump-action Winchester SXP Camp/Field combination.  Before I departed I also bought a sweet Pelican Case (Storm IM3300).  My plan was to try to fit all my stuff in one case, but I didn't get to it until after Thanksgiving.  I flew home and there was no way it was fitting into an airplane.

This is the SIG P226 which works and feels great and came with a nice case.

This is the Pelican IM3300 - fully stuffed.  This took about an entire afternoon.  I tried to put the long sticks vertical but there is never as much room as you think.  On top: Winchester SXP 12GA.  Upper right: SIG SAUER P226 MK25.  Lower right: Heritage .22 Revolver.  Lower left: Jimenez JA Nine and bottom: SIG SAUER 516 Patrol.  Middle: "camp" or short barrel for SXP.
In the end, I was able to get everything in one case.  And since there are two levels of foam, I was also able to squeeze in all clips, straps, chokes, locks and chambers.  Pack master.
