safe

I'm looking at both the Amsec BF1512 and the Inkas RSC Triton, both in the small 20 inch height size. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations between these two? I'm located in Canada, and the Inkas is made in Canada, $1000cad cheaper than the BF1512. Is there any reason to go with the...

I know there is no better substitute than carrying on your person. But I don't sleep with my EDC, nor shower with it....among other things. When a firearm isn't on my person or in a case being transported in my possession, it's locked up in a deep, dark vault in the basement. There are no...

Hey all. I’m having some minor issues with a 7.62x39 load. I attempted to trim my brass down to 1.518 but about half was too short to begin with. I ended up trimming everything down to 1.515 although a good amount was down to 1.513. I’m shooting this out of a brand new rifle and don’t want to...

I had this idea...I'd love to have a more discreet safe that doesn't say I STORE GUNS HERE. So...what if bought a safe, bolted it to the concrete, and built a cabinet around it. Have you seen it done? Photos, etc.? Please post here!

Getting a new safe pretty soon and will be bolting it down to a concrete floor . Have heard it might be a good idea to put something under the safe but what a rubber mat ? Figured it needs to be fairy thin so the safe is bolted down and not a lof of space under it . The humidity in that...

I store some guns in a job box and if I could put them in a light hard case that would be preferred but I want to make sure they do not rust. I have had issues with a rifle rusting in a soft case once but I believe I had some rain/sweat on the sling when I put it in. If I put a few new...

Hey everybody, I just want to start by saying I’m new to reloading. I loaded some .308 last night using IMR4166 powder. I followed my reloading book and used 44gr of powder. I used Hornady 150gr FMJBT. I trimmed my classes to 2.005. my loading manual said to seat the bullet to 2.800. I started...

I've started to see this idea more and more. Using a heavy metal job site box for storing guns rather than an actual gun safe. A guy on Reddit is using one of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-60-in-0-Drawer-Universal-Storage-Top-Chest-60R-OS/207058098 I can see the potential benefit...

Hey I have this vintage gun safe and they seem to be pretty rare. There are not any recent forums about this safe but if you search up "Gamma II" you can find some old articles in this forum. If anyone is interested in buying it or can shed any light that would be awesome! Check out these...

Hi Guys, I'd like to store an AR-15 in my Tacoma and need a way to secure it. The only things I'm finding via Google are pistol safes and they look pretty rinky-dink. Are there any quality rifle safes for a Tacoma? Thanks to Breechface below for pointing out that I didn't offer adequate...

Hi All, Just registered to get some info and some feedback on what I'm looking at. This place is just a wealth of info and I'm still reading through a lot of posts, but I am potentially considering a safe that I haven't seen mentioned here, oddly enough, so I figured I'd just start a thread as...

I have a Titan Gun Vault (Simplex lock). The manual says: "A lockout feature deters continued random entry of combinations to gain access" A local locksmith told me there is no lockout mode that he knows of. I believe I have entered the correct combination, but the safe isn't opening. Is...

Hello everyone, I have been reading several articles about bolting safes down and thank you for the insights and advice! I do have a question I was hoping someone may be able to answer. I want to bolt down my gun safe (>1000lbs) but I'm wondering if weighing that much will damage the carpet...

Ive owned a Cannon safe for over 10 years now and love it. It has a dial, not the electrical key pad. I prefer the dial over the key pad. I know people like the ease of the key pad but I just dont like it. Its easier for anything electrical to fail than something mechanical. I guess I'm just old...

Hi Guys, I've been a lurker for quite a while and love the site and I think I've digested about everything here on gun safes...what an amazing amount of knowledge and information!! My question is specifically regarding the higher end safes available. I've evaluated my safety needs and...

Hi Folks, I've been spending a lot of time reading the archives here and elsewhere on the web looking for info on gun safes. I was hoping I could run my use case by you all and get your opinion on what I'm planning. Why am I coming here? Because as far as I can tell, responsible gun owners...

I want to put one of my handguns in my bedside table drawer. Ideally it should have a quick-release system such as a short combination of finger presses then pop up to reveal the gun, butt first. I bought a $199 hornady safe but it's far too big to fit. Anyone got any ideas?

My kid is getting old enough that I need a gun case or safe. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the topic and after research, I feel more confused than when I started. You guys helped me out immensely when I was first picking a gun, so... I live in a small apartment, so it needs to be compact...

A year ago I purchased a cheap in-vehicle lock box - a metal box e/w 4-digit built-in combination lock and steel tethering cable. The box was NOT intended for immediate access or high security. My objective was (1) when I need to leave it in the vehicle, to secure a pistol against smash & grab...
