good to know
A standard, mark 1 mod 0 MasterLock will NOT fit a Pelican 1200 case.
That might have been useful to know. Suggestions (for something that is going to contain a reasonably nice pistol and should be secured appropriately)?

Try again: Bad engineering error in judgment (or non-judgment).
Yeah, Pelican definitely fails on this count.
Even more frustrating was that my long-shaft (ahem) MasterLock was too thick to go through the hole. After hitting up Wal-Mart, I was able to procure a mid-length MasterLock that was simultaneously long enough to go through the annoyingly-shaped plastic, and small enough to actually go through the hole, but now the body of the lock is proving to be a problem. It works, but is far from perfect.
Given that most people use MasterLocks or something closely equivalent, you would think Pelican would have taken that under consideration.
Sounds like a design flaw, especially given that they are providing SECURITY in every (other) emphasis and respect, it's like leaving the barn unlocked.
To be fair, I was able to get a lock through the hole and around the annoying plastic, but you are right - catering to the common folk is generally a good tactic.
