Safe organization accessories

Recommended Posts

Specifically i was looking at those kits that allow you to hang your pistols on the door. I see two different types, 1 with velcro holsters that you can move around to suit and the other is a wire rack with fixed positions. I have reservations about both such as will the holster velcro break loose and drop you guns? And with the wire rack model, are the pistols really secure in those cradles? Now its not that i go slamming the safe door or anything, just wondering how robust those things actually are beyond the pics i see on the website.

I made this out of wood. Cheap and easy. Holds 6 handguns. You could probably fit 5 in a row instead of 3 if you wanted, and add as many levels as needed. If I was to do this again I would probably stagger the guns so the barrels on the guns above didn't interfere with the grips on the guns below. Sorry for the poor quality phone pics. It looks better in real life.

I have the Rack 'em thats shown in the picture on the right. It works pretty good, but is kind of a pain to get setup the first time. You have to arrange the holders so they clear the interior of the safe. I found that adding one gun at a time and closing the door to check for interference is the best way to go.

 

I filled mine and am now planning to order some handgun hangers for the shelves.

I use my wife's old jeans.

 

 

That's great!! Reminds me of an old friend who used a pair of jeans for door panel coverings in his van. He had the one pocket located so it held a pack of cigaretts.

Did the exterior of your friend's van look like this?

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
