handgun safe

[A. Wayne]

I am in the market for a new handgun safe. Thoughts on gun specific safes vs. personal fire safes? I saw some info about "safe bouncing", and it sees that electronic combinations are not the best thing for keeping your property yours, however I haven't seen any personal safes that don't use electronic locks. Anyone have alternative or new ideas?

You don't want a "fire safe", you want a burglary/security rated safe. Many of those happen to also be fire-rated.
You will also want to bolt it securely to your house so they have to take the whole house if they want it.

I'm sure our resident IP safe expert will be along shortly with professional advice.

I have a few Gunvault mini/deluxe safes. One I keep in my bedroom and one I take when I travel and use the cable to secure it to furniture of something immovable. I really like them a lot. Got mine from Gun Connection.

If you are paranoid and have been watching alot of the Doomsday Preppers shows you'll want a fully mechanically one instead of those electronic safes in the event that there is an EMP. You'll have a safe full of guns of which you will not be able to access.

I think the electronic locks are very good now. I think the most important thing to shop for is a dealer you can count on after the sale if you have any problems with either a electronic or mechanical lock
