    Silencer?

    :);)o_O Of course, when you compare to the total number of guns in the USA. :D That's like comparing the number of DUI's to the amount of people that drink alcohol every day.

    Silencer?

    A suppressed handgun for home defense is getting pretty common in the states where they are allowed.

    Shogun/Revolver for Home Defense over Rifle/Pistol?

    #3 Pistol/Shotgun for me, although there is a loaded rifle in the safe too. Pistol is the primary since it is right next to my pillow when sleeping. Shotgun is available if I need to move toward the direction of my safe. That's also where my wife would go while calling 911 to send an...

    Night stand choice

    Nothing on my nightstand, but a Gen2 G17 with night sites resides in here bolted to my bed frame.

    First-ever ‘smart gun’ with fingerprint and facial recognition unlocking system hits the market

    This statement is all that you need to know. This company has survived by political investors that know how to use this technology to "sidestep" the 2A as soon as it's available. Keep in mind that biometric handgun safes are already accepted as a storage standard by the masses, especially the...

    Gun Magnet Effect On Red Dots

    Instead of a magnet, you could mount a holster in there.

    First-ever ‘smart gun’ with fingerprint and facial recognition unlocking system hits the market

    Yep, and I have been saying for years that the day will come sooner than you think when the government will mandate Smart Guns only for sale to citizens. After all, they will say that biometric handgun safes have been accepted for years as good enough, so now it’s good enough for your guns.

    Bedside Pistol Safe Corrosion Protection

    Egg crate (Convoluted Polyfoam) foam is open cell and will absorb moisture, and over time any oils or chemicals could deteriorate it and give off corrosive gases as well that can damage guns. As mentioned above you want closed cell (Polyethylene) foam. You can tell the difference pretty easy...

    Home defense, gun storage and placement

    When I am at home I always pocket carry a P3AT so I have never been one to have a need for multiple guns either secured or stashed around my home. Where I do feel vulnerable is when sleeping, so I have one of my handgun safes bolted to my bed frame for easy access in the middle of the night if...

    Truck console safes gurus....step in

    If you are able to use the mounting brackets instead of the cable, they are way more secure.

    Truck console safes gurus....step in

    I would just say that prying on the console vault is not the easiest or quickest way to defeat it. The FAS1 is 7GA steel and the box itself is very strong. Of course if you only decide to secure it to the plastic of the console that's on you. That's why it takes some effort to see how it can be...

    Truck console safes gurus....step in

    An option you could consider. If I were in the position of having to leave my gun in my vehicle on a regular basis I would want something robust since the odds go up that someone will try to get it. While not specifically made for consoles, The FAS1-Compact safe has been installed in quite a few...

    Carry gun the same for the Nightstand gun

    My primary home defense gun is a G17 in one of my FAS1 safes bolted to my bed frame. It’s accessible to my wife anytime too, especially if I’m not home. CCW is G26 and a P3AT is always in my pocket whether at home or away.

    Is fire resistance necessary for a safe?

    This is kinda what I mean when I say only to trust the test from a reputable certified testing facility and not the manufacturer. Too many unknowns and variables when each manufacturer makes their own test and how trustworthy are the results? Can you point me to what the NIST procedure is for...

    Is fire resistance necessary for a safe?

    I'm not a dealer, I only manufacture and sell my own brand of quick access handgun safes. As far as living in an apartment I would buy a Zanotti Armor modular safe and bolt it to the wall studs. Sheetrock is an easy fix when you move. It doesn't have any "fireproofing" other than relatively...
