Unpacking the Allen 3640 Pistol Tote: Features and Benefits

The Allen 3640 Pistol Tote isn't just a bag; it's a meticulously designed accessory engineered to provide superior protection and ease of use. Let's delve into the core attributes that make it an indispensable item for your firearm collection.

Superior Material: The Endura Advantage

At the heart of the Allen 3640's robust construction is its use of Endura fabric. This high-performance material is renowned for its exceptional durability and resilience, making it an ideal choice for gear subjected to regular use and varied environments.

• Exceptional Durability: Endura fabric is specifically engineered to resist tears, abrasions, and punctures. This means your pistol tote can withstand the rigors of frequent trips to the range, accidental bumps, and general wear and tear without compromising its structural integrity or protective qualities. The robust weave of the fabric ensures it remains intact, protecting your handgun for years to come.
• Weather Resistance: While not fully waterproof, Endura fabric offers a significant level of water resistance. This is crucial for protecting your firearm from light rain, splashes, or damp conditions you might encounter outdoors. It helps prevent moisture from reaching your pistol, safeguarding it against rust and corrosion.
• Easy to Clean: The smooth, tightly woven surface of Endura fabric makes it remarkably easy to clean. Dirt, dust, and grime can typically be wiped away with a damp cloth, ensuring your tote remains presentable and functional with minimal effort. This is a significant advantage for users who frequently visit dusty outdoor ranges or transport their firearms in various conditions.

Advanced Protection: Thick Foam Padding

Inside the durable Endura shell, the Allen 3640 Pistol Tote features thick foam padding. This crucial element acts as a shock absorber, meticulously cradling your handgun and shielding it from impacts and vibrations during transport.

• Impact Absorption: The dense foam provides a critical layer of cushioning that disperses kinetic energy from accidental drops or bumps. This significantly reduces the risk of damage to your firearm's delicate components, sights, or finish.
• Scratch and Abrasion Prevention: Beyond impact protection, the soft interior padding ensures that your handgun's surface, whether it's a finely blued finish or a modern polymer frame, remains free from scratches and abrasions. This is particularly important for maintaining the aesthetic and resale value of your firearm.
• Secure Fit: The internal dimensions and generous padding allow the tote to snugly accommodate most standard-sized revolvers and automatics. This snug fit prevents the firearm from shifting excessively inside the tote, further minimizing potential damage.

Design Elements for Convenience and Security

Every aspect of the Allen 3640 Pistol Tote has been considered to enhance user convenience and security.

• Full-Length Zipper: The tote is equipped with a robust, full-length zipper. This design choice offers several benefits:
  • Easy Access: It allows the tote to open wide, providing unrestricted access for quickly and safely inserting or removing your handgun. There's no fumbling or forcing your firearm into a tight opening.
  • Secure Closure: The durable zipper ensures that the tote remains securely closed during transport, preventing accidental opening and potential exposure of the firearm.
  • Reliability: High-quality zippers are less prone to snagging or breaking, ensuring long-term reliability even with frequent use.
• Heavy-Duty Web Handles: The tote features two sturdy, heavy-duty web handles. These handles are securely stitched and designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Comfortable Carrying: The web handles distribute the weight of the firearm evenly, making it comfortable to carry, even for extended periods.
  • Reliable Support: The robust construction of the handles ensures they can confidently bear the weight of your handgun and stand up to repeated lifting and carrying without tearing or fraying.
• Compact and Discreet Profile: The minimalist black design and compact dimensions of the Allen 3640 contribute to its discreet nature. It doesn't draw undue attention, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer to transport their firearms unobtrusively. It blends in with other everyday bags, avoiding unnecessary scrutiny.

Real-World Applications and Why it's a Smart Choice

The Allen 3640 Pistol Tote is more than just a case; it's a versatile tool that enhances various aspects of firearm ownership.

For the Avid Range Shooter

If you frequently visit the shooting range, this tote is an indispensable accessory. It allows you to:

• Safely Transport: Carry your handgun securely from your home to your vehicle, and from your vehicle to the firing line.
• Prevent Damage: Protect your valuable firearm from bumps and scratches inside a larger range bag, or if placed directly on a bench.
• Maintain Organization: Keep your handgun separate from other range gear like ammunition, eye protection, and hearing protection, ensuring easy access when you need it.
• Quick Deployment: Its full-length zipper allows for rapid and safe retrieval of your pistol when you're ready to shoot.

For Home Storage and Organization

Even when not in transit, the Allen 3640 Pistol Tote serves as an excellent home storage solution.

• Dust and Dirt Protection: It keeps your handgun free from dust accumulation and accidental spills when stored in a gun safe, cabinet, or drawer.
• Prevent Scratches: Within a safe, it prevents your pistol from rubbing against other firearms or metal surfaces, preserving its finish.
• Added Security: While not a locking solution on its own, it adds an extra layer of containment for your firearm, especially when stored in an unlocked cabinet or drawer (always adhere to local firearm storage laws).

For Training and Competition

Whether you're attending a firearm training course or participating in a shooting competition, the Allen 3640 offers practical benefits:

• Easy Handling: Its compact size and sturdy handles make it easy to manage alongside other essential training gear.
• Quick Transition: Facilitates swift and safe presentation of your firearm during drills or stage setup.
• Professional Appearance: The clean, understated design presents a professional image.

For the Responsible Concealed Carrier

While primarily designed for transport, some concealed carriers use a similar discreet tote for short-term, off-body carry in a larger bag, or for storing their firearm when it's not on their person (e.g., in a vehicle console or desk drawer). Its compact, unassuming nature helps maintain a low profile.
