Just picked up this Simplex Safe for a pretty good steal. It's pretty heavy duty and was only $50.
These are the sellers pictures. He said he picked up two of them from the local sheriffs office a few years ago, but got a new safe now.
I just got it home. It's a bit rough, it's probably going to get a pretty thorough cleaning and maybe some paint. I'm happy with my purchase.
It seems to have a little Velcro holster that is held in place by two pieces of metal that stick out from the lid. I might have to change that up to get it to work with a larger pistol with light. At the moment that means my G17 and in the future a railed Beretta 92. I think it has to sit in this type of vertical orientation for the lid to open, although laying flat horizontal may work as well.
I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to integrate this into my bedroom, or how this might change other parts of my home defense plan. But honestly, I thought a solid simplex safe for $50 bucks (he was asking $65) was to good to pass up.
