"Watching a company's videos about their own products is like listening to a politician. May as well listen but you're hearing their "truths"." -- jrdolall True...but that doesn't apply to Surdy Safe's videos: Some very serious "unauthorized access" abuse given to their safes and they STILL...

Well, yes. I can't think of anything more positive than actual owners pleased with the product they bought. And that's enough said -- for me. Plus the videos (see below). As for fireproofing, I wasn't addressing that -- as mentioned in an earlier post, I only wanted security protection, not...

"However, the praise did not seem to be overwhelming." -- orpington ...I think we have answered the OP's original concerns about Sturdy Safe in an "overwhelming" and positive fashion. ;-)

Dan, I just mentioned that about power tools to forestall the "rain on my parade" crowd that no matter what positive things you say about a safe/RSC, there's always someone who says, "Yeah, but with my angle-grinder I can get into it in 5 minutes." Yeah, we KNOW! So I was just saying that up...

Walkalong, Yes, no-frills, just SERIOUS security (for a RSC). Just TRY* to get into a locked Sturdy Safe (without the combination, of course!) compared to 99.9% of all the other RSCs out there in this price-range! Use as LONG a pry bar as you want -- good luck... Mine being newer has the...

orpington, You'll find people posting for and against Sturdy Safe -- but IMO, I think they're a quality product. No frills, but thicker steel -- 3/16" body (7-gauge), 5/16" door (0 gauge) -- than most 10-12 gauge RSCs (9/64" to 7/64") and VERY HARD to get into compared to most of them. And also...

I remove the doors from my 2 external-hinge "safes" every time I move them -- they come OFF very easily but do go ON a bit harder due to lining up a HEAVY door precisely on the same plane/axis as the pins, but I do it. It's not difficult nor is there any danger unless you're careless. Maybe...

IIRC, that only applies to safes/RSCs that have external hinges, not internal. I think Liberty uses internal hinges (the ones I've seen). Consequently, that's one negative of Liberty RSCs -- you have to move the whole HEAVY thing. When I was trying to move my liberty Presidential 25, it would...

jeepnik, You're right...sorry I missed the spelling...

jeepnik, True, America's going "South" big-time (and faster than I had expected living to see) but the problem with being an ex-pat living in/retiring to another country is that NONE of them have our particular Constitution nor our Bill of Rights, and especially the 2nd Amendment/RKBA. Even...

Partizanai, I said that about people stealing "anything not nailed down" because in one city I used to live in (El Paso, TX), criminals there would break into people's houses and steal "anything not nailed down" -- even their used toothbrushes were taken. On another occasion, they broke...

Walkalong, That looks like a nice safe for the OP's 1 gun & ammo (and similar to the Cobalt S838C I mentioned earlier). And it's "almost" Class B rated: It's 1/8" shy in thickness for the body of the safe, even though the door is right on @ 1/2" thick. Still, if this is bolted down...

One good thing about a safe with external hinges is that the door usually comes off, which really helps when it comes time to move it. [I'm talking here about the OWNER moving it, not thieves!] A door is about 30% of a safe's/RSC's total weight, so removing it lightens up the body of the...

diablo2184, Nice...that should keep your stuff very "safe" I'm sure! ;-) In my case, I needed something with thick enough steel to feel better about it (vs. the typical 10, 11, 12-gauge steel RSCs being sold all over the Internet and even Big Box stores, and even better than my earlier...

diablo2184, Which Amsec did you get?

Partizanai, PM sent to you... *************************** As for the clock hiding-place as posted above, the only thing I'd worry about is a thief taking the clock! Yes, sometimes they take everything...you might not believe the things low-life street-trash will steal -- if they'll take...

DaisyCutter, For me -- and lots of other people as well -- the brand of "safe" to add to any Short List is Sturdy Safe (Fresno, CA). While all of these "gun safes" are technically called RSCs, Sturdy Safes are "serious" RSCs, if you will. They have thicker steel (5/16" thick doors, 3/16"...

Partizanai, I used to live in a next-door Free State -- VA (Fairfax) -- but was born in MD (and had a summer place @ Coltons Point, MD)...but I guess it's changed a lot since then, and for the worse. Besides MD being anti-gun/repressive, there's also what's happened to Baltimore. Forgive me if...

old lady new shooter, I have to agree with fellow THR member Partizanai from The People's Republic of Maryland, Slave State...even though I'm in the Free State of Colorado! ;-) If they don't SEE it and can't FIND it, they can't STEAL it! Simple...the KISS principle. In your case, with just...

"I guess open carry is not a good idea." Wow. Based on one personal experience, you came to that immediate conclusion. How limited you must be...or just ignorant. At first, however, I thought you were just an anti-OC troll. And maybe you are. -- John D.
