Gun Cases and Safes

Hey Jwise, just had a son (9 months ago) can you give me any recommendation for gun cases. I am guessing you did some research and would appreciate a point in the right direction. thx

I have been using this safe to secure a pistol at home in a ready-to-use condition:

I got it because it is entirely mechanical. I have programmed the Simplex lock with a combination that I believe I can do without looking, under duress. I hope I never find out for sure.

The construction on this is very stout, with the lid/door overlapping so that prying it open is harder. I am sure that it will keep the merely curious from getting at the pistol inside.

I would rate safes as these only to keep your kids out, not someone trying to steal it. It wouldn’t be hard for them just to pick it up and walk off with it. If it’s bolted down, that’s only a minor inconvenience. These are good for keeping your kids safe (in addition to proper training and respect). If you want to keep your weapons safe, look for an upright safe and it’ll cost 10 to 20 times more.

Precisely. There is a ton of good information out there that demonstrates that nearly all the small handgun safes can be defeated by someone with a few simple tools. For me, it is to keep it away from the kids. As noted, the first and most important layer of security is education for those in ones house.

That said, I picked up the following safe from Walmart and have been very pleased with it. I keep a XD9sc in it plus an additional mag as well as a flashlight and it’s perfect for this. It is small, so only one firearm is going to fit.

Any chance that you may be getting any more of these gun cases in?

Missed it! Please bring this back…

I guess the vendor didn’t what woot getting the product and destroying it. Showing how shitty of a gun safe it is.

In for the shotgun case, I’ve been looking for something cheap to lug my 870 around!

I use a BARSKA biometric safe for my weapon, and it has served me well. I have it bolted into my nightstand:

I hope to however if not these I’m sure we’ll have others in the future.
