First handgun is in the mail - does the CZ-P10F come with a lockable case and is it suitable for storage?

Bought in September 22' and transfer just went though (end of January 23'). It's funny, I read somewhere on here to call the provincial CFO office (BC) by entering their extension at the federal 800 line. They picked up right away and said "yea, we can transfer that for you right now". Just like that.

I read it comes with a case, but not sure if it qualifies as a 'container' in the following line from an RCMP page on firearm storage:

Attach a secure locking device so the firearms cannot be fired and lock them in a cabinet, container or room that is difficult to break into.

It will ultimately be stored in a 9th floor one bedroom condominium with only a lock on the front door (there is no lockable room).

The P10F comes with its own case that is lockable, but doesn't conform to Canadian law requirements.

The case is very thin/slender and you can't really close it nicely with a standard trigger lock on the gun inside, without a huge bulge in the middle which also makes closing it difficult. If you have no issue with this then cool. You could try a cable lock instead, also.

Otherwise, pistol cases are decently priced at CT etc.
