S&W Cardboard boxes

[Saudade]

My Shield, Sig SP2022, Ruger SR1911, and Mini 14 all came in cardboard boxes.

The rest came in plastic boxes. Some seem study, some are junk. Not all have provisions to lock. One came in a plastic box inside a cardboard box (Beretta). It even came with a plastic cup! Should get bonus points.

Cheap plastic boxes are just that, cheap. I transport mine in pistol rugs.

Picked up my "California Compliant" Shield today. Came in a corrugated box, not a cardboard box. Bought a plastic case, as transporting in California is difficult with their laws.

At home I store in the safe, but when going to the range, it needs to be unloaded in a locked container. (Trunk of a car would be ok, as it can be locked separately from the passenger section). In a SUV, technically, the trunk can be accessed from the inside of the car, so it must be in a locked container, separate from the ammunition. Magazines need to be unloaded too.

Once I get my CCW, things will change, but until I get that, I must follow all the rules.

Depends, do you have one for a 4006?


My understanding is the plastic boxes meet TSA requirements for checked guns on airlines. Now I don't have to buy a special box for that

I'll look tomorrow....Bought one back in 89....Box should be around here somewhere.

My wifes M&P9c came in a nice plastic box with cutouts for the Mags & extra backstraps she does actually use it. On the other hand I am sure the corrugated box my SD9ve came in is around some where with the lock & spent casing in it. My gun has not seen it's box since the day I got it out & shot it for the first time.
Has been a working gun from day one night stand , truck , carry in cold weather & at home then throw it in the range bag to go for a little fun time.

I like the fact that my new M&P 9 Pro serise came in the plastic case. Means i don't have to go out and buy one for it!

Cardboard-- ok Corrugated. Pardon us all.... Now I wonder if the plastic is really 'plastic'! ;-) (As my brother-in-law would say after being corrected by my sister on a detail -- "whatever")

So I ordered a new Shield 9mm from Buds and got it 2 weeks ago and it came in a cardboard box. I then ordered an M&P9C from Buds and got it yesterday and it was in a blue plastic box.
