Don't listen to those other people who incorrectly state a factory case isn't suitable for storage, because they don't cite any facts at all.

TL;DR the plastic container the handgun comes with would satisfy the requirements for restricted firearm storage, as long as it has locking eyelets built in to attach a lock on.

Runkle of the Baily explains Plastic Storage container is legal

Containers mentioned in the video:

All plastic storage containers not that different from the CZ pistol cases. The Judge agreed that the cases used by the defendant wouldn't be considered as careless storage.

[127] Both the Plano 10164 Four Pistol and the Plano SE Series Single Pistol cases do, on inspection, appear to be constructed of a much thinner and pliable plastic than the other Plano cases. However, these cases are consistent not only with the diagram shown in the Manual, but also with the cases used during the Canadian Restricted Firearm Safety Course and the practical test needed to pass the course. In addition, I accept Brown’s evidence that many firearms owners buy the Plano cases at issue. Not only is Brown more likely to gather this information as a result of his line of employment, but his evidence is consistent with the availability of the cases for purchase at a major retailer such as the Store.

[128] As a result of the foregoing, I am unable to find that the use of the two Plano cases, in and of themselves, constitute careless storage.

Thanks. What I've gained from posting this question is an understanding that the case is legal (this is what I was concerned with) and that It's not as sturdy as other cases. I'll use it until I can find something else.
