K22 case

[Aetherpulse]

I recently purchased a Pardini K22. Unfortunately it did not come with a case. Does anyone have suggestions on something that would fit? I can't seem to find anything here locally.

Thanks,

Baron

Where is "locally"? I can tell you where to get a nice case in Europe, the US is harder, and I have no idea about Australia...

This is a relatively inexpensive and versatile option:

This case is identical to the ones most European target pistol manufacturers use. It's made by Negrini. The plain case (#2016 SEC) with no logo & eggcrate foam is readily available in Europe. Negini's US importer doesn't stock them, and they have a 12 case minimum order.

If you don't like the logo on the Dan Wesson case, it will (mostly) come off with acetone. Cut a paper towel the size of the logo, saturate it with acetone, and then cover it with a piece of a polyethylene bag to keep it from evaporating. Let it soak for a couple hours. Wipe it off GENTLY & repeat. Try to resist the urge to scrub the logo off. The plastic case is soft enough that even a paper towel will scratch the surface a bit, and then the embedded residue will be nearly impossible to remove.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll order one and see how it works out.

If you don't want to use your elbow grease to remove the Dan Wesson logo, go to your nearest Harbor Freight and pick up an Apache 4800 weatherproof protective case. However, you will need to get the sticker off the case... Sometimes they have discount coupons for these cases. Best bang for your buck without the Pelican price!

If you want a bit of class..............

I own a K22 and after careful measurements got a zero haliburton briefcase off ebay.

Filled it with foam and I have a high class way to transport my Pardini to and from the range.

It came with a plastic case similar to what is posted above but it has deteriorated such that it was brittle and cracking.

One of the major enemies of polypropylene cases is the long term exposure to sunlight which weakens the plastic. For the low price, they are pretty tough when torture tested...
