HowardTuffpak Lock Preference
Going to purchase a Tuffpak rifle case, I need to decide on the built in lock or a padlock.
What is the consensus here? Is one preferred over the other?

I have the built in lock that is not TSA keyed.
If you read or call and talk to them you will find out that the lock for shipping your firearm case is not to be a TSA lock.
Purchase one you like with the wheels option.
They give you options:
TSA lock
non TSA lock
TSA Combination or padlock with hasp.

JsinceI have the padlock version, works well. I do carry a spare lock in the event that someone in security decides that they need to see inside with bolt cutters!
I generally used a keyed lock and always wondered where I would store the extra key. I've since switched to combination locks because of this.
I recently needed a padlock for a trailer door and found one in my toolbox with a key in it. I wanted a second key to store in the truck as a spare so I thought that I would go to Lowes to get one made. As I was going out the door I noticed a key hanging on a nail in the laundry room that's been there for at least 12 years. It fit my lock, what are the odds?
