Hi Guys,
I've been going nuts on trying to decide on a gun locker. It seems everything is a trade off and I can't find what I'm looking for.
I like the idea of Secureit's Fast Boxes ( https://www.secureitgunstorage.com/product/hidden-gun-safe-model-47/ ) and Model 52 ( https://www.secureitgunstorage.com/sporting/model-52/ ). I particularly like how they hold tactical and scoped weapons with direct access, no picking through the safe. I'm concerned about the security based on neither being RSC Rated. I called the company requesting information on the locks and was told "their electronic" without much more information.
I've also been eyeing the American Security Defense Vault ( http://www.amsecusa.com/residential/gun-safes/defense-vault/ ) but don't like the 3 5/8" height limit. It's also shallow enough that I'd have to get creative with storing more than one long gun in their. Mainly considering it as a home defense shotgun storage.
I briefly looked at the Monster Vault online ( http://www.monstervault.org ) but couldn't find much information and it seems like a lower quality than the AMSEC with a premium price.
I just don't like the idea of moving a 1000 lb safe and looking at the RSC Requirements it doesn't seem like a ton extra outside of maybe some fire protection. The web has plenty of photos of people getting into these safes, while I'm sure they may take longer or stop the casual thief I just don't know the price and hassle is worth it.
Can someone offer me some feedback on any of the above safes and their thoughts? I don't want to pay a premium for smoke and mirrors and I have home owners insurance. I'd be more upset about the other sentimental things I couldn't replace in the event of a fire. I also just had a kiddo in May (my first) which has sent me on this adventure to find the unicorn of gun safes it seems.
