The weak link is the handle, IMO. No redundancy there. A rivet fails and the whole thing hits the pavement, shattering a delicately glued together wood box with 10 lbs of $20 bills worth of gun in it. It happened to me.

It's all about the Goochi-ness with these wood framed cases. Little about protection. This discussion always heads to extreme polarization of Huey case followers and industrial box followers. Count me in the industrial box group.
