      Pistol vault

      In this case the key is used with a Simplex lock (not electronic) and it's primary function (out position) is to deadbolt the pushbutton lock for added security and quick access isn't desired. An example would be if you keep a dedicated home defense handgun inside the safe all the time. When you...

      Pistol vault

      I can certainly understand wanting to see one in person, but the only place to get one is online. You could always return it if it didn't meet your expectations.

      Pistol vault

      Figuring out where and how you want to mount it will also determine what design works best for you. Many will only really work mounted in one orientation, but this one is more universal and can work mounted in any orientation and bolted from any side or the bottom. The gas strut will open it...

      locked up or hidden?

      I always keep a dedicated home defense gun by my bed so I keep it in my handgun safe that is bolted to my bed frame. I could anchor it to the concrete floor and it would be more secure if needed. A good quality handgun safe made with significant steel can still be very quick when needed and...

      Home Defense / Range Pistol

      I chose a Glock 17 for that role many years ago. I wanted simple, reliable, with no external safety and plenty of rounds. I planned to shoot competitively so that shooting this gun would be second nature and I would be proficient with it. I also wanted load my own ammo since I was going to shoot...

      AR15 As Primary Home Defense Weapon

      I feel the same, especially if you need to round up kids. I keep a handgun is a quick access safe that is bolted to my bed frame so that it is right next to my pillow. It is very secure, accessible, and fast if needed. You could do the same even with a suppressed handgun if you ever decide you...

      secure handgun in car

      If it's something you need to do all the time like leaving your gun in the car at work, then I would look at a more secure option than one of the cabled clam-shell type boxes that are relatively thin steel and most of the cables can be cut with just a plain pair of dikes. Also, moving it from...

      Home defense... how do you keep your gun?

      I keep a handgun in a quick access safe that is bolted to my bed frame and sits right next to my pillow. I am right handed and sleep on my left side so the gun is easy for me to grab from a resting position. It is easy to open in complete darkness and presents my gun in the same exact place and...

      Teaching your childern about guns

      Hello everyone, I have been a lurker here for a while and decided I would chime in on this discussion. I grew up in an era that there were no quick access storage means to speak of and my dad had guns all over the house and they were all loaded. Today there are lots of options to secure your HD...
