    Padded Pistol Slips - On The Cheap!

    I was having a pair of tyres fitted to replace the slicks on the back of the battle wagon and had an hour to kill - a walk into town revealed an array of unappetizing charity shops, shops specializing in selling on the never-never & so on.
    I popped into Pound Land to see if they had any feeler guages, they hadn't, but I noticed padded laptop slips and I need one for my Toshiba, then it struck me that they would serve as pistol slips/pistol mats for most standard length Umarex pistols so I bought a few in black.

    My Beretta on the slip/mat

    Placing the pistol in the slip

    The pistol in place

    Folding over the slip

    Tucking the top of the pistol into the return on the slip

    The slip closed, clean side always inside so you always have a clean mat, double padding for the top edge of the gun sights, edges etc.

    Enjoy!

    it looks quite good that.
    I've got my heart set on a big double rifle case with a new piece of foam on the inside with a load of shapes cut out to house various pistols

    Maplins do a good range of pistol bags. They call them laptop bags. Made by a company called Falcon. £10 upwards.

    If I bought one of those for each of my pistols it'd cost as much as a very nice pistol
    I was just suggesting a very cheap solution for anyone without a fortune to spend

    We used to have stores in the US called "5 (as in 5 cents) and dime (which is 10 cents) stores".

    But, that was a long time ago!

    A pound to protect your pistol from scratches, excellent value.
