- description
The flexible cable shackle is what makes this one useful. A rigid padlock needs an eyelet lined up just so; a cable threads through zip pulls, awkward gaps and soft-bag loops that a solid shackle simply will not reach.
It is TSA certified, which means security staff in the United States can open and re-lock it with their master key rather than cutting it off your case. If you ever travel abroad to play, that is the difference between arriving with a lock and arriving with a hole where the lock used to be.
Compact enough not to add bulk to a pistol case, and robust enough to be worth fitting.

Frequently asked questions
What does TSA certified mean?
US airport security can open the lock with a master key for inspection and re-lock it, instead of cutting it off.
Will the cable fit through zip pulls?
Yes — that is the advantage of a cable over a rigid shackle. It reaches gaps a solid padlock cannot.
Is it strong enough?
It is a deterrent and access restriction rather than an anti-theft device, which is what a case lock is for.
