I checked a gun on a trip a couple of months ago. I had a pistol lock on it, put it in a locked, hard-sided case and that went into my hard-sided suitcase. I installed a large o-ring bolt in the suitcase and used a cable bike lock to lock the pistol case to the suitcase.
It may sound like overkill, but I wanted to make it damn hard for someone to steal. Thieves often go for the easy target. Make it difficult and they sometimes give up.
