Gun Safes 2018

[spinmove_]

So I’ve been saving up for a couple things lately and last night when I was going though some of my things in “the armory” in my house I realized that it was way past time to invest in a real “Big Boy” safe. I’ve got a smaller “14-gun” cabinet, a smaller handgun safe or two, but that’s about it. I need something that’ll actually hold a handful of long guns with optics etc and handguns. Preferably something fire rated and what have you.

Any recommended brands, shops, capacities, and/or other things I should consider? Looking for something I won’t have to upgrade out of for a while.

My brother and I both have Liberty Safes.
We love them and you get a lot of bank for the buck.

Before we bought these safes I did a ton of research and if you
were willing to spend the bucks Fort Knox safes were the best.

Another Libery owner, FWIW. No great expertise on my end, however, just seemed like it would fit the bill at the time. No complaints thus far.

Had a Liberty USA model 30 delivered last week.

I decided not to move the Browning safe when I relocated to RI. I’m completely happy with the Liberty. Love the flexibility on configuring shelves and the included door bag. I went with the key pad lock.

I have a Sturdy Safe and could not be happier. They don't advertise so many haven't heard of them. They offer some great safes. The prices might seem high, but when you start comparing them to others on the market you'll find that their quality is quite remarkable for the price.

Another happy Sturdy Safe owner. No frills but relative quality.

I understand there is a big difference between "residential storage containers" that we are discussing here and real safes and that the best advice is to look for a real used safe.

Sturdy safe all the way

I’ve had my eye on one of these https://www.secureitgunstorage.com/p...ight-gun-safe/. I also need to upgrade from a security cabinet. I think the fire resistance part of heavy gun safes is really overrated for most people. I don’t have much interest in a safe that is insanely heavy.

Do you have guns that are irreplaceable? How far away is the nearest fire station? Just things to consider before deciding what type of safe to buy.

I agree that a certain level of fire resistance starts reaching a point of diminishing returns. I do not currently own any irreplaceable firearms nor are any of them particularly expensive or exotic. I think the most exotic thing I own is a ‘97 vintage P220.

More than anything I need something strong, sturdy, and theft resistant while also having enough room to grow from the 7 pistols, 4 rifles, and a shotgun that I currently have.
