Hello Everyone,

Hoping my FID and permit come in soon. Looking to get a safe for just my handgun for now and looking to keep in bedside. Doing much on line research seemed to just make me more confused. Any suggestions and where to make the purchase?

Thanks,

Chris

I bought the gunvault micro vault xl from optics planet.com. It the non biometric version. Read to many reviews of the lack of reliability with the biometric. I can push four buttons just as quick and reliable. It's $124 with free shipping. Do a search and you can come up with 5% off promo code. I like it. Fit in my drawer well. Here is the link. http://www.opticsplanet.com/gunvault-microvault-xl-digital-handgun-safe.html they do make one smaller than this too. Hope it helps your decision making process.

I have the GunVault model. I like it. I have had it about 5 months with no issues. If you use it to store long term, consider throwing in a desiccant to help absorb ambient moisture. (I put one in there anyway as a precaution.) CAUTION: it is battery run, with key back-up. I am comfortable with that set up for my purposes. You may not be.

OP - you didn't mention if you have kids at home, that should drive your storage search a bit

Hello from Ocean County! (TR) I have been just keeping my pistol in my nightstand at night then locking it in the safe in the morning. These options could be much more convenient.

 

No kids btw.

Do you have kids? Don't cheap out on the safe. I own a Mesa safe. It's a tank and somewhat large, but nobody is getting into it (except me) ...

I have the Sentry quick access pistol safe. Can get it at costco for $89. It's nice and compact compared to the others mentioned. Perfect for securing a handgun and couple of mags.

better buy something a couple of 100 pounds like a sturdy safe

this is the same with us, except we dont put it in a safe in the morning.. just stays in our nightstand.. (and no kids).. if we build up a 'collection' (which we are in the beginning stages of doing), then we might get a safe, but for now, just 1 snubbie S&W 640 .38spl, so no need for a safe yet...

Go as big as you can afford for now. It great for paper work, gold and anything of value. Just be sure to secure it down!!!

speed vault is really nice but not all pistols fit in her, i had problems with some of my full size tactical guns just make sure your guns will fit in her...

I have the biometric gunvault this size also... love it... been using it for almost a year now

Take a look at the Stack-On, like this: http://www.stack-on.com/categories/security-safes--2/products/54

Can be bolted to the floor/furniture from inside.

Something to think about if you get a cheap safe...
