How a revolutionary design solves three critical pain points for hunters and competitive shooters
When Protection Meets Portability
Every shotgun owner knows the dilemma: how to transport valuable firearms securely without sacrificing convenience. Traditional cases either compromise protection for size or become unwieldy burdens. The Beretta Green ABS Compact Hard Case represents a paradigm shift – merging airline-approved security with innovative space-saving design that redefines what a gun case can be.
Key Specifications:
- Barrel compatibility: Up to 78cm (including chokes)
- Dimensions: 810×230×120mm
- Weight: Just 2.63kg
- Material: Thermoformed ABS shell with velvet lining
- Security: Triple combination locks
The Hunter’s Dilemma: Three Pain Points Solved
1. The Airport Struggle
Most shooters dread airline travel with firearms. Oversized cases attract unwanted attention, while standard models often fail TSA requirements. The Beretta case’s triple-lock system and compact profile meet all airline regulations while maintaining a low-profile appearance.
2. Field Mobility
Traditional hard cases force hunters to choose between carrying their case or their gear. The innovative shoulder sling system converts this protective case into a hands-free carrying solution, with industry-standard hooks that integrate with existing shotgun slings.
3. Space Efficiency
By reconfiguring the internal layout to place components side-by-side rather than stacked, Beretta achieved a 30% reduction in overall volume compared to conventional cases with similar barrel capacity – a breakthrough for vehicle storage and closet space.
Engineering Breakdown: Why This Case Outperforms
Physical Structure
The case utilizes a monocoque ABS construction with strategic ribbing that provides exceptional impact resistance while minimizing weight. The velvet-lined interior features a removable divider panel that:
- Prevents metal-to-metal contact between components
- Allows customizable configurations for different shotgun types
- Absorbs vibration during transport
Functional Innovation
Beretta’s patent-pending “flat open” hinge system allows the case to lie completely flat for easy access – a critical feature when:
- Quickly assembling/disassembling at the range
- Performing routine maintenance in the field
- TSA inspections at airports
The triple-lock placement (both sides + center) creates a compression seal that exceeds typical water resistance standards.
Benchmark Test: How Beretta Stacks Up
We compared the Green ABS Compact against three best-selling cases in the $80-$120 price range:
| Feature | Beretta Green ABS | Competitor A | Competitor B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrel Capacity | 78cm (industry max) | 76cm | 74cm |
| Locking Points | 3 (sides + center) | 2 (sides only) | 1 (center only) |
| Carry Options | Shoulder sling + handle | Handle only | Handle + backpack straps |
| Airline Approved | ✓ (tested to 100kg crush) | ✓ | ✗ (no certification) |
From Frustration to Freedom: A Competitive Shooter’s Journey
“As a traveling trap shooter competing in 15 states annually, I burned through three cases in two years. Either the latches failed, the interior padding compressed, or TSA flagged them for additional screening. The Beretta Green ABS changed everything – its compact design fits in smaller rental cars, the flat-open feature saves me minutes at every checkpoint, and after 18 months of heavy use, it looks and functions like new. This case has become as essential as my shotgun itself.”

Why This Is the Best Shotgun Case for Traveling Hunters
For sportsmen requiring airline-approved gun cases that don’t compromise on accessibility, the Beretta solution stands apart. Its compact shotgun hard case design addresses the core needs of:
- Waterfowl hunters needing weatherproof protection
- Competitive shooters traveling to matches
- Collectors preserving valuable firearms
The Beretta hard case with combination lock system provides peace of mind whether stored in a truck bed or checked as airline luggage. Unlike generic gun cases for shotguns up to 78cm, this model’s thoughtful engineering anticipates real-world usage scenarios.
