Help me pick a bedroom pistol safe

[Edster]

If you need a first-hand account of an electronic safe problem, I had a quick access button-code electronic lock handgun safe. It ran on a wall power supply with a battery backup tray. I thought that would be reliable.

We had a series of brief power brown-outs/black-outs. It wasn’t a clear-cut power outage, more an intermittent glitching. The safe lost the combination I entered. I had to open it with the backup key and reset it.

I replaced it with a Simplex safe. I just don’t trust electronics anymore.

Update to Post #67 (Verisafe)

Now have used it daily for 26 months.

Battery (original) now at 77%.

Zero missed scans, or issues of any kind.

The Hornady RFID 2600 pistol safe is on sale at Brownells for $38. I grabbed one, I’ll let you guys know what I think.

Looks like that's the keylock option, not the RFID option? (I haven't used either one.)

Any feedback or opinions on this particular make/model?

Intended use, if it matters, is under the passenger seat of our campervan, and the drawer aspect is attractive in that application. The location and orientation I have in mind *should* prevent any issues with the drawer getting blocked.

I got this mounted up and I’m quite happy with it. It *just* barely fits. Could only get one mounting screw in for a variety of reasons. But given that it’s entirely hidden and the main application is securing things out of the reach of the kids, I’m happy with it.
