The opening is sized to snugly receive a barrel of the weapon inserted through the opening and into the cavity. Flexible ballistic material is mounted to the hinge and to the clamshell sides. A barrel guide mounted in the cavity cooperates with the opening into the cavity so that the barrel of the weapon, when inserted through the opening, is urged into, and maintained, substantially perpendicular to the hinge.
