Suggestions for an in-wall handgun safe

Featured Replies

Any suggetions for a decent in-wall handgun safe? Looking to mount it between the studs in the wall next to my bed. Don't want it too big...just something to fairly discrete to fit a handgun and couple of mags. Electronic keypad or biometric.

 

This one looked interesting but doen't seem to be very secure...

Thanks

Stackon makes several sizes. They are keyed, not electronic. However, the keys are oversized and I practiced. I think I can get in just as fast as a keypad.

Thanks, but I definitely don't want a key that I have to keep track of. All, of the in-wall safes that I've seen seem to be fairly large (~22"h x 16"w). Looking for somthing like the Secure Logic in size but with more security (looks flimsy)

Ive got a stackon pws-1522.

 

It's pretty good for a lock box. It will not stand up to a prybar attack but to keep unwanted hands out it works.

Ive got mine in a closet but it can easily be hidden behind a picture.

 

Electronic/key entry

V-line. Simplex lock. Not electronic. Awesome.

No key to lose, no batteries to go dead at just the wrong time.

+0.5 on V-line (or, for Ray Ray, "half agree")

I bought 2 V-line drawer safes on annother forum's recommendations. I am good with everything about them except I cannot change the combination (button sequence) on either. Both are stuck with the factory default combo.

Pluses are: 100% kid-proof and no key to lose or battery to fail.

I did not know they made an in-wall or I would have considered it.

Are they defective? I had no trouble changing mine.

Uhh... oviously, Yes.

Just kidding.

 

Both my wife and I followed the directions precisely. The locks would not accept the new combo.

IMHO, the factory default is good enough.

How long Have you had them? I know fort Knox has a lifetime warrantee. I just bought a pistol box from them. They don't make a small wall safe.

 

I'd be surprised if v-line wouldn't fix it for you. Factory preset isn't good enough.

Long time. No hope for a warrantee claim now.

They are not for security. They are just to keep my nieces and nephews safe from my 2 HD pistols. I have a real safe for security.

I just saw some fort knox safes on Amazon. Looks real solid. I may just get one myself.
