Whatever you plan on carrying in this case (camera, electronics, handgun, breakable valuables), rest assured it will be safe. I especially like the padlock-compatibility this case presents, and purchased the Master Lock 643D Combination Lock, 1-9/16-Inch set to go with it, which fit fine. Bear in mind that if you are airline-checking a firearm in an airline-approved case like this one, you do NOT want TSA-approved locks on it, contrary to a lot of reviews that imply that you do! This is a small case, so if you are not 100% sure your items will fit in it, order the next size up. It would be a shame to only discover an item is too tall after carefully picking out the interior foam to fit its contour...
