Gun Safes

mrozowjj · Nov 7, 2011

I'm getting ready to buy a house which means I am finally thinking about buying a gun safe. I have them locked up in cabinet now buying anything serious because I didn't want to move a giant piece of hardware.

So where around here can I go to get one? Which places will deliver to California, MD area?

Depends on how much you want to spend. I got my first one from Costco. Good deal on a Liberty, but not top of the line. Gotta remember to go bigger than you think. You'll outgrow it way too quickly.

Search MDS for "gun Safe" you should find an abundance of info.

I don't know the quality or the manufacturer's but I was quickly breezing through the sale AD at Dick's and they had some good looking safes and they also offered home delivery.

Gun connection delivered and installed the one I got there.

There is a place in Waldorf (not the one already mentioned) that has a good reputation. Pay to have it delivered, regardless of who you buy it from, its worth it. :thumbsup:

What place is that?

If you never leave the house, you don't need a safe. I hate to say it but the belair pawn and tackles safe store has some good prices. They have some closeout safes.

It is on the left side as you go north on Rt 5 before the railroad tracks. There is a furniture store next to it. Can't remember the name tho. Something like County or Country Furniture is next to it. Between the Mc D's and Surplus stores (except they are on the opp :rolleyes:

osite side of the road).

Carolina Safe Company is the name.... http://carolinasafecompany.ambz.com/index.html

Take a look at Zanotti Armor, the original modular safe company.

Easy to move and you can set your safe in some hard to reach areas like closets or rooms with non standard doors that a conventional may not fit due size.

Www.zanottiarmor.com

I have Sturdy Safe and they offer curbside, drop gate delivery.

You just need to move and set the safe yourself which is easy if you rent a heavy appliance mover and have some friends to help.

www.sturdysafe.com has a very nice product - more go than show from what my research has shown and even though they are based in CA - the price INCLUDES delivery. Lot will depend on what you really want in a safe and how much you want to spend as I'm sure there are plenty of options out there. Some will be in your bulls-eye, some won't...

-- sheesh -- should read more carefully -- +1 to Huckleberry's comment about Sturdy Safes...

NP, Shamrock. We have a lot of Sturdy owners on the forum and some members (H2U) have even toured the factory and met our girl.

Surprised nobody has posted this link yet but it is one of the best guides to gun safes.

You would have had this information sooner if you just did a thread search as previously suggested

davsco · Nov 8, 2011

steve's safes, where i got my fort knox. he's at most of the VA gun shows, not sure if he does any of the MD shows. was a good price and great service (delivery).

CrabbyMcNab · Nov 8, 2011

Huck, great link. I have been on 6mmbr but hadn't found that link yet.

In the market to upgrade and will be looking at the Sturdy safes closely. If you can offer any advice and recommendations, let me know.

dromano · Nov 8, 2011

I'd suggest a Dakota safe. They come in 4 boxes and are reasonably easy to assemble or disassemble to move if necessary. Distance may be an issue if you're in Southern Maryland but Thompson's Safes in Frederick is a relaible dealer. He usually goes to gun shows and will bring the safe with prior arrangement.

If this is anybody, I wouldn't recommend that you post pics of your firearms on craigslist:

Or that your safe is ready to roll.

Mounting a safe on wheel casters. WTF are they thinking? :rolleyes:

I got my Cannon from Costco. Great deal too. Retails for about $1300, but Costco has them online for $799 w/free shipping.
