Anyone have any experience with these? I am considering one for purchase. My DAC sports safe has let me down twice now(had to use override key) and I don't think I can trust an electronic lock again...

No experience with the fas1. Hate to be a cheerleader for the gunvault sv500, but ive been very happy with my purchase and would recommend it as something you can use for quick access with a means to permanently mount to a wall/object.

Fort knox pistol box. Simplex lock. I love mine. Lot of steel. Very heavy. Bolt it to the floor. Highly recommended.

That is the other I was considering actually... Good to know

I strongly prefer a mechanical Simlex style lock like those found on a V-line, Fort Knox or Fas-1. They are simple and reliable. They are all high quality so pick whichever of these is the best size and configuration for your need.

 

A lifetime career in technoogy has taught me not to trust electronic gadgets, especially consumer-grade equipment like Gunvault.

I've been told not to trust electronic locks and I don't. I've been looking at adding a cheap RSC safe for reasonably inexpensive accessories but all of the deals have electronic locks.

Anyone purchase one yet?

 

Thinking this will be my next purchase....

Not yet but will be soon

Fort knox pistol box. Simplex lock. I love mine. Lot of steel. Very heavy. Bolt it to the floor. Highly recommended.

Well, I received my Fas1 safe......

 

Wow... beautiful construction, and very heavy duty. Much more for your money then most of the other small pistol safes.....

 

Ft. Knox type mechanical lock combined with a quick access system. Piston assisted door opens smoothly and quickly....

 

Very happy with this purchase. Will probably buy another .......

Hey Guys, 

 

I hate to resurrect such an old thread, but I guess that's what happens with the search button ;-)

 

Any more opinions on the Fas1 safe now that you have had it for a while?

 

Im between the Fas1 and the Titan Pistol Vault

They seem pretty similar in construction. The extra money in the Titan seems to be in the pre drilled holes and included mounts which is very important to me, however Im not sure its $120+ more important to me. 

 

decisions, decisions.........

 

Thanks,

Tom

Still love mine, and their company is growing .......  meaning, more choices in versions of their safes.....

 

IMHO, still no better quick access safe out there..... 

How about mounting it? Did you need some extra help in the drill bit department? 

 

I really do like the simplicity of the Fas1 but Im thinking if I mount it and then decide to mount it elsewhere in a different application......then I'll have holes all over the thing, LOL. 

 

Also, does the door pop open if mounted on its side? I only see it mounted vertically on the web. 

 

Thanks again,

Tom

I do not have them mounted....  I have 1 stuffed between the bed and the night table, and the other one at my feet at the desk in my 2nd bedroom.....

 

As far as drilling it.... I see no issues. And any holes can be filled with a rubber plug if needed....

 

Will open fine on its side.... 

Cool........thank you for the responses.
