This case is even more than I hoped it was. Super compact and lightweight. It does not look like you are carrying a firearm. There was a small issue, my entire order did not get shipped. I made one phone call, and within two days I received the rest of my order. No questions asked. Make sure you block your firearm properly when using this case for air travel. There is a video available showing you the proper way to do it. I do wish this was explained better in the literature. I also purchased the ballistic nylon case, and while it is a super tight fit, I am hoping the nylon cover will relax over time and use. I would do it all over again. I can't wait to pack my shotgun and go for a little flight to go someplace sunny and warm.
