Help me pick a bedroom pistol safe

Fort Knox also makes the shotgun box, which is larger than I think you're looking for. It would however have room for one of those blowout priced 1301s....

Thanks.

Yeah that form factor is not going to work. Nice safe tho.

I’m really surprised how limited the market is for a decent mechanical lock safe in the 1.0 ft cu size.

Yeah, that size you're looking at the smallest of the residential safes, say the smallest Amsec bf or csc models. Which then means a combo lock, or electronic keypad for quick access.

Well I kinda decided that in light of the fact I’m not really going to expand my gun collection anytime soon, and I don’t necessarily need to have the same security on ammo, to go ahead and order a V-Line Brute:

V-Line Brute Heavy Duty Safe with Quick Access Lock, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K20E8S8..._U-muAbM82VP0B

I like the fact it has a Simplex lock, is made of quality thick steel, and has an available bolt down adapter plate so I can move it if need be. Plus the gas strut which holds up the top is a useful feature.

Thanks for the discussion.

I own the Brute. It's been an excellent addition. You have the option to bolt it down should you choose to do so. Purchased mine via walmart.com which had the best price I could find at the time.

I can fit a G17, G26 and a 642 in mine all secured within minimalist holsters to keep the trigger guards covered. I removed one layer of the foam, (and set it aside for another day), to enhance lid closure when packed with multiple firearms.

It should come with a little packet of Cortec corrosion inhibitor to affix on the interior side wall of the box.

I think you'll like it, Rich.

Nice size, but a little pricey.

Opinions?

Do people have guns stashed all over the house? I've read about carrying at home, because you might not have time to access your weapon in a sudden home invasion. I don't carry at home, but it got me to thinking about having more safes around the house. Like one downstairs in addition to the nightstand.

Not quite, "all over the house," but I do have a downstairs Glock 19 secured in a pistol safe, with the remainder of the firearms secured in my office upstairs, where I spend the bulk of the day. If we are able, my office is also where we would establish ourselves during an extended emergency, as it might take a considerable amount of time for a sufficient number of deputies to arrive and attempt the tactical nightmare that is the approach to our property. Two loaded pistols are in an electronic pistol safe, while the long guns are in a sheet metal cabinet. Everything is bolted to the wall.

ETA: The two German Shepherd Dogs roam the house freely.

People make great sport of defeating safes and posting the videos on YouTube, but for what it's worth, during my LE years, I never saw, or heard of any locked container being breached to steal a firearm.

Also edited to add: I don't typically carry at home, but have at times for example when we had a couple of escaped inmates roaming the area.

No experience with that one. I prefer mechanical locks and the Fas1 safe. http://www.fas1safe.com/
