That's a very honest review! "Here are some options, but... they all kinda suck..."
mnharris10 lmao just about to say the same thing
It seems like the only decent option was the enhanced, in-wall version of the v-line safe. Obviously that comes with a much higher price tag and an installation hassle, but if I own my own house that would definitely be my go-to option. It seems to check all the right boxes of convenience, reliability and concealability. In fact, being in the wall is actually a pretty decent advantages you could easily have some kind of hinged painting or mirror in front of it and completely hide it from view. I wonder why the company doesn't just simply make an outside of the wall version as well
In other words, being cheap will cost you in the long run. Spend the cash a get a REAL safe.
Well it depends on your use case. These are great for keeping kids and drinks away from your guns. The electronics are fine, frequently. Most thieves go for quick opportunities that are readily presentable. A safe hidden under the bed isn't that
Mr G : But how many REAL safes are even close to "quick access". Seems to me that was the whole point of this video.
Like my father used to say "Locks aren't meant to keep criminals out. They're made to keep honest people honest." Also from my personal experience when buying a safe, It's not about buying a safe that someone can't get into. It's buying time to keep the robber long enough that you might catch him or a neighbor report it or buying time against a house fire. No safe is unbeatable just some are tougher to get in.
Yes, I agree. Ideally, your safe is just one layer of home security. If you have an alarm system or vigilant neighbors, it cuts down on the amount of time a thief has to defeat your security devices. But if they know they have as much time as they need, no safe or lock is sufficient.
I got what I thought was a screamin' good deal on a 5x7x6 1/2 foot safe that was made in France, with German fireproofing. Paying $2000 for a safe I can sleep in, seemed great, but not many American lock & safe experts know how to work on a French made safe. It also cost me about $5000 to move and install such a monster, and by the time it had been moved the tumblers were all knocked out of alignment. I finally got them all reset and aligned for a new four number combination, and am thinking, "It's all good now", but, it's not! The safe has a triple alarm system, and a dehumidifier desicant ventilation system that has to be wired into an old telephone company landline, so there goes $60 a month + $40 per month for monitoring fees. I managed to spoof the alarm/ventilation system and converted it to a mind numbingly loud audible alarm. The power went out, and I had a 120 dB bell ringing on each side of my house, and a 98 dB bell ringing behind the safe. I'll guess I'll have to the fix that too. I will put in a keypad and a lockable switch. I am going with a padlockable explosion proof switch, and a $260 Medeco padlock. If I do ever find a Sargent & Greenleaf nuclear weapons locker padlock with any extra keys, I'll use it.
For 99% of criminals a large scale high quality safe is unbeatable, just a heads up.
Picture this, you break into someones home and find some nice valuables, a good TV, some jewellery and phones. Easily a grand worth of easy pickings, so you go upstairs and find the master bedroom has a safe mounted to the wall, you know its a gun safe because of the markings. Would you prefer to spend an hour or so prying a safe off of a wall to get a gun that could potentially be worth only a few hundred dollars or the TV, jewellery and phones to sell them and buy yourself a brand new gun?
No safe is safe ironically, they're entire purpose is just to discourage would be thieves and make their life as difficult as possible.
The overwhelming majority of American burglaries occur in the middle of the day while everyone is out at work or school, and involve quickly stuffing a backpack full of whatever valuable-looking stuff you can grab as fast as you can and leaving.
Even a shitty safe that would require simple tools and several minutes of time to break into is a huge benefit, because 99.99% of thieves aren't willing to invest that much time into stealing something. They'd rather jam your Xbox, laptop, and jewelry into their bag and bolt.
Edit to add: This is especially effective if your safe doesn't obviously look like a gun safe, and could just as easily hold your important documents. Depending on the circumstances, a burglar MIGHT find it worthwhile to take the ten minutes to pry open a safe that they can tell has a gun in it. But they aren't going to make any money selling off somebody's passport and MediCare records.
Now we want to see these puppies reviewed by LockPickingLawyer.
No, no I really don't think we do. Lol
The problem with his videos although I haven’t dug through all of them but from what I’ve seen he’s at such a high level of lock picking that he can pick literally any lock on the market. If you judge a lock based on his reviews I don’t think you’ll ever be satisfied with any lock lol. But really I assume 99% of criminals don’t even have basic lock picking abilities. Muchless the ability to pick more complex locks like on gun storage options. Most of them tend to be rather dumb. If they were smart they would’ve chose another lifestyle to avoid having to steal for a living lol.
LockPickingLawyer: Watch as I use a limp spaghetti noodle to open all these fire arm safes.
The rest of us: 🙀
@@Mr_Glock19 what are you gonna do, get the locks that he didnt review? thats even more foolish. From time to time he is surprised to find locks that are better than the rest of the locks in the price range
@@Mr_Glock19 I agree that the dude is stupid good, and the chances of the person trying to get into your safe being that good are slim to none. On the flip side, if a lock takes him 1.5-2 min, it's a champ.
I took over the bathroom linen closet and turned the entire thing into a cabinet with a magnetic lock. Best safe is one that doesn’t look like one in the first place👍🏼
Hello! This is the Lock Picking Lawyer and today we have several small safes presented on the Lucky Gunner.
*10 seconds later.....*
So in conclusion I cant recommend any of these to secure weapons.
a brief summary of damn near every lpl video ever
I’ve watched this video 3 times now. Tons of good points. Really value your opinion and your search for good information keep it up! Love it!
Actually, the _Snapsafe XL_ is more than a little larger than the 6"Hx40"W standard model underbed unit. Mine is 7"Hx48"Wx24"D overall. Lots of room inside for several guns, ammo, and other valuables. Very impressed with mine after 5 months.
Great video! It's good to discuss this stuff now. Later it will probably be legally required.
Ive had a digital wall safe in our bedroom closet for 15 yrs, use it daily for my duty and secondary pistols, paid under a $100 , never had an issue, your mileage may vary
Excellent presentation. I have been searching the market for a storage case for a shotgun, with easy access for awhile now, and the ones that you presented are not only very practical, but affordable. Thank you for the time you put into this video.
Just bought a mossberg 500. Looking like I'll just have to hang it high on the wall and hope we only have short burglars around here.
Yeah, the one he said was best was not acceptable at all. These seem like their just local law compliant but not actually good to protect your investment.
@@Juicetheeunuch if you have a tv on the wall and your safe takes at least 5 minutes to get into they'll almost certainly take the tv and leave.
Thats where DYI comes in. Just make your own gun shelf like the ones tactical walls makes. People have already done it.
Represent Minnesota
Exactly. Subtlety is the best security.
Yeah if I ever become a homeowner I plan on doing a tactical walks type safe. I'll build it myself because it's WAY cheaper and I can build it stronger
*DIY
And have the RFID put into a ring you wear at all times. That's what I did. Works perfectly with tactical walls.
That’s what I did with a mirror, draw slides and a hole between the studs lol
The V Line Closet Vault II almost looks like a maintenance panel. You're spot on that installation would be troublesome (to put it politely) but for closets, garages; that's an awesome option (if at an expensive price point).
As always, a good video. I appreciate the honesty of your reviews.
Thank you for your comprehensive review. Your information is clearly and completely stated without hesitation or repetition. Again, thank you! I do wonder what is available in a higher cost bracket.
I got a shot-lock years ago because of the reasonable price and mechanical lock. I agree about the visibility thing, but if someone is already messing around in our bedroom I don't think hidden is going to be a deterrent at that point.
I had to drop the rear sight for clearance reasons as you mentioned in the video, but there was no issue with attaching a light laser combo on the left forward rail (for thumb activation).
Glad you did not point out some obviously better option I would then have to run out and buy.
Great point about visibility/temptation.
Great video, keep them coming. Try out the hidden furniture type units or more long gun units until you find a stand out and hopefully the industry notices the feedback
I really appreciate these videos, I recently bought the Fort Knox Pistol Box and am very happy with that (and it came with a Front Sight class for FREE!) Great Points on all of these.
Nightstand it is
ichor20 what kind of nightstand fits a rifle?
Just lean the rifle up against a wall
The AR sleeps between my wife and I in our bed....with it's own pillow...sort of like a dog or a small child.
Right
TwoFor Roughing ain’t you a real tough guy
I love my Shotlock. Solid, secure enough and very easy to use. My car safe, uses the same Simplex lock with the same combination. No batteries either.
Thanks for the thorough, objective reviews.
I've had the VLine safe for a couple of years, and I like the quick access mechanical lock.
Love this video. I have my eye on the AR shot Lock for a while now. When I was a bachelor my AR was my go to HD gun but now that I'm married with step kids I keep my M&P full size in a pistol safe next to the bed. I would really like to use the Shot Lock in such a way that it is concealed in a cabinet or behind my clothes in the closet.
I couldn't agree with this review more. When looking for a quick access safe, I immediately decided against any electronic locking mechanisms for failure/battery issues. I decided to go with V Line. I have both the long gun and shotgun version. Easy to open, reliable lock system. But as he stated, they are not anti theft safes. They could be pried open easily. They are there to keep children from gaining access. Luckily, they are thin enough that I was able to easily mount them to the wall in an inconspicuous area.
I bought my brother an in-wall Stack On gun safe for $49. He mounted it in the closet of his home office. It does you need a key to open, but it is a very well hidden safe for his AR and Maverick 88. It’s white and blends in with sheet rook real well in the dark. He has a very clever place he hides the key too. He only has a shot gun, a rifle, and his carry pistol so it’s a great fit for him.
Thanks for your videos. I enjoy topics like this.
Got a holster bolted to the back of my bed board between my matress and board near my head. Not visible at all and very quick acess at night/ during foreplay ;)
nothing like a loaded pistol for foreplay 😂
Excellent work sir. Thanks for your thoughts.
Still only about halfway through the video. But it's nice to see someone review something actually in their possession; so many people review items by merely looking up specs and reviews and showing stock photos.
Awesome video. Love your reviews.
I wish Fort Knox would make that shotgun safe in a drawer-style, or at least have the door on the long side. The construction and lock look good, but it seems like it'd be hard to grab your shotgun quickly in a home invasion.
Would like to see an updated video on this same subject!
I think that be drawer would work for me. Not so much for the quick access so much but definitely for another firearms I don't used on a daily. I don't have a lot of space, so a big gun safe isn't really in the cards right now, nor am I really in a position to get a bunch of guns anyways. But for range stuff or a rifle or shotgun that I'm not using for home defense, I would definitely go with the big under bed safe. Great vid!
I have the barska. Never had issues with it. Opens up 100% of the time. I replace batteries once a year
Good video. Very informative. Thank you.
My car safe is a V-line underdesk. Mounted it upside down beneath the rear seat. It comes in handy.
Thank you for this informative post. I was in big hope that you would have shown a product suitable for my Bullpup shotgun. Only because their popularity is so great right now. Thank you once again.
Ok, good review, what better ones are available for the greater than $400 cap?
I like the under bed storage with large sliding drawer the most. Bolted down, of course, and only for non-emergency access.
Are there any that you would suggest that are in the higher price range? Can you do a video on that?
Those are some viable options for a variety of income levels and personal needs. But if anyone feels the need for firearm access during their sleeping hours, my personal experience has taught me (been there, done that) that any time delay in accessing that firearm could change the outcome of a personal protection event. Waking up and processing what is going on, requires a lot of time in the grand scheme of things. One needs to be able to grab their firearm (with a light mounted on it) and be ready to address the breech/threat, immediately. Keeping a firearm on a nightstand, on the floor next to the bed, on a rack mounted between the mattress and box springs, or someplace similar, is the only way to go. Of course, some customizations have to be made for specific family needs, and that's exactly what this video conveys. The caveat is, maybe *nothing is better when it comes to an intermediate, "one or few gun" safe. Thanks for the video.
I bought a key lock Sports Afield 6 gun cabinet. It's way weak but I keep it in my shop which is fortified with a security door, alarms and barred windows that I built myself.
Thanks a lot for the info. Now i know what i need!!
Very well done, thanks.
Let’s use the word safe with care. There is a difference between a real safe and an access denial device. One keeps them secure from theft and fire. Others keep them out of the hands of kids but still allowing it to be accessible for immediate access
Best comment here. Fast access safes aren't safes. They are locking boxes. They are very good for the intended purpose, but they are not products that provide burglary or fire resistance. They are great to keep a child out. They might keep a meth head out if they spend a few minutes banging on it with their fists. But someone with small, basic hand tools can break into these things in a minute or two or less.
Agree on electronics in safes, especially since they’ve shown how to open them with a strong magnet.
I have a combination lock that I'll put the first 2 numbers in and leave the last one 3 or 4 spins away takes me a second to open it when I leave the house I rest the dial and boom no need for electronic nonsense.
Great informative video 😎 👍🏼
How is it possible that there’s only two manufactures making long gun simplex “safes”
Fort Knox and v-line
I have the Barska biometric safe. In my experience, it opens first time every time. Did you store multiple copies of your thumb/finger? The only problem is that it has to be bolted down, or it falls over when you open the door.
The SecureIt Fast Box is well designed and can be mounted in a vehicle if desired. I also have been using a Verifi pistol safe with a fingerprint reader for over a year. This one has a high end reader, and has never failed to read my fingerprint once. It gets used twice daily, and I trust it.
You're right that mechanical locks are overall more durable, as there are less things to fail. However the one thing to keep an eye on with some button style mechanical locks, is the paint on the side of the buttons will show wear marks over time, if there's any rubbing contact. I've "cracked" some before by just looking for the wear. Just something to check and keep an eye on.
Interesting... thanks for the tip, I had not heard of that before.
I don't have kids nor do small children come over. Rarely does anybody come over. I personally keep my self defense rifle locked and loaded in a guitar stand in the corner of my room, right behind me at all times. It's on the second floor and not in sight of a window, even if you could look into it from the second floor. Seeing how all of these seem to suck in one way or another, that only reinforces my choice.
Probably not the best idea to tell people where you keep your guns
Rarely does anybody come over? You sound like an exciting dude.
I wish the sentry safe HDC11E defense center was still available, it was expensive but def my favorite design.
Thank you, great video. Not sure what I should do 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Good honest review. Do you have any experience with the SecureIt Fast Box? I’m considering it and would use it vertically, in-wall/secured-to-stud and hidden by a mirror. The V-line options look like a “close-but-no-cigar”, and the SnapSafe is horizontal only, which is not what I want. Downside to SecureIt is it’s not fire-proof. I have 2 pistols and plan on building an AR this year. I need something in the “middle” but everything I see out there is either huge for tons of rifles or small for handguns only. Fast Box is the only “middle” option I’ve seen so far. Thanks much!
As far as the snapsafe under the bed safe goes - if you take the drawer out to use the cable or to bolt it down, good luck ever getting the drawer back in. I tried for hours to get the drawer back in until the rails finally bent. I called Midway (where I bought it) who passed me to Honrady (who at some point bought the snapsafe brand) and I got a replacement. However, now im too afraid to take the drawer out so its essentially a heavy carrying case if anyone chose to try to steal it. Seemed like a good idea, but in practice the mechanical parts are too fragile to ever be able to secure it properly.
I was able to rake the shotlock open as fast as I could with the key. Basically 3 seconds and a bobby pin gets you what you want.
If I was going to use the Shotlock, I'd fill the key hole with super glue or find another way to disable it.
@@LuckyGunner open up the lock and tac weld some pins in place so it looks like its still functional from the outside. un-pickable lock!
So basically, someone needs to make that drawer setup with a simplex lock and everything’s golden. I want an under the bed storage option.
I would have to mount it up to the bottom side of the mattress frame. My wife leaves cloths on the floor so that would cause problems
Sounds like there is a need for another option with a Simplex lock.
@David Stairs Like the Secureit Fast Box?
Great video. However, it would be nice if you were able to find some other shotgun wall mounts/vaults that might fit one with optics (I have ghost rings and cannot find a wall mount that works yet). I've been told the Hornady AR model will hold a Mossberg 590 with optics but would rather a professional opinion and/or research.
Dude you got me. Subbed
I,m old school , keys are best for me , when I get home unlock it for quick access , before I leave lock it , I know its not perfect but I don't worry about cheap electronics/leaky battaries ;-)
Perfect! Thanks!
the secure it 52 is also really good looking!
I have the first one and I have had 0 issues with it. I ve owned it for a year and thumb print works every time and it also has a silent mode so that it doesn't alert to anyone
I suggest mounting those wall mounts next to a coat rack and hang a thick coat over it, to make it look like its part of the coat hanger.
What about gun cages, What options are available for people interested in a commerical and/or residential mounting like security compounds or man cave that also looks good.when displayed in open view.
It's the massive safe where you keep the ammo and most of the guns... it's the loose timber like wall or floor plank or secret cavity in the innocent-looking writing desk where you keep the loaded quick access defense weapons.
How is your gp100 Match Champion doing after repair? I am considerin to buy one
Great review as always on a subject that doesn't get a lot of attention. Another option while not really a "safe" is the Tactical Wall 1450. It is childproof and with a magnet or RFID release mechanism it is super fast to open and because it just looks like a mirror I highly doubt any criminal would realize it is a safe. There is the installation factor but if you can hang a picture on the wall then you can install it in about 15 minutes and your wife gets a full length mirror as a bonus!
The Tactical Walls mirror might be a good solution, but it does have to be installed *inside* the wall, meaning you have to cut a big hole in the drywall and attach it to the studs. It's not the hardest thing to do, but a bit more involved than hanging a picture, and fairly permanent.
You are correct, sorry I should have mentioned I have one and while equating it to hanging a picture is a bit of an exaggeration its not by much. I'm not very handy but the kit is so easy I was able to do it in 15 minutes and love the ability to move the magnets so you can put stuff just where you want it and it stays put. Definitely a big hole to patch if you plan to move and don't want to leave it behind though! My location worked out perfect but if you have wiring or duct work running through your wall where you want it you are out of luck, another drawback. Again thanks for the great video, I used your handgun safe video to find the best pistol safe for me now that I just had my first kid and I couldn't leave my daily carry gun just in the drawer of my nightstand at night.
How about doing a ideo on concealment shelf as there are several on the market .
I want one of the tactical walls those things are awesome and they really do look nondescript
3:69 Seems like if you are at home you have those extra locks unlocked, and when you are away or go to work you would lock it up. Extra responsibilities but compared to that flat fort knox shotgun safe that doesnt have any mounting holes on the inside to mount on a wall and for have the price; it aint too bad.
Are there any plans for reviews of vehicle safes? I'd like to be able to keep a firearm in my car without someone being able to just smash the window or pry open the trunk and take it.
Most of the pistol safes we reviewed can work as car safes: czcams.com/video/6C2-UPEQDTo/video.html
If you want a large vehicle safe for rifles and shotguns, take a look at TruckVault.
Steven I like Hornadys Rapid access AR gun locker. It holds two long guns. I have one mounted in my trunk and I use it to secure a pistol and a lever action rifle.It’s worked pretty well for me and as I recall it cost around $300.
Console Vault also makes truck safes that work great in my F-150 for pistols as well as other model trucks and some cars.
Yea just don’t do it
@snoopy dubnation They'll break into your car just in case it might have something valuable in it.
Does anyone know if the shotgun version of the Hornady Wall Lock can fit a shotgun with a rail and rear sight attached?
The Shotlock and "rack" type security devices are more appropriate for a business or office than a "home security" device...
That said, they're handy for securing/hiding a gun in a closet, some place out if sight where there may not be room for a full safe, even a single gun size. I've seen one mounted inside a closet, horizontally over the door frame. You have to go in, turn around and reach up to get the weapon. Nobody thinks to look up there and it's hard to leverage it loose, even if they found it. These devices do have their place, behind the door in a "security" office (where the safe and daily business is done), in a vehicle, etc.. Andcto address your concerns about nothing securing the muzzle from being pried, just take a piece of aluminum which is 2-3" wide and about 4" long, bend it at a 90° in the middle, drill a hole in the,middle of one side big enough to put the muzzle of the gun through, then drill a couple of holes in the other half just big enough to put a lag bolt through and (pre-drill) run the bolts into a stud at the right level where you slide the muzzle through the hole and lock the gun down. Basically just make the same sort of bracket they'd give you if they weren't cheap (like the one product had). It's easy to make a bracket.
The second one you reviewed with the little push buttons and then the turn knob are shit locks, I use this style at my work for locking up drugs and they suck
I’m at a loss as to why these safe manufacturers don’t offer safe options (like the Hornady or Shotlock options especially) that accommodate firearms with popular accessories like side saddles, lights, optics, etc.
I can see myself putting the last safe vertically behind my bed, not gonna be as fast taking it out as you said but it takes very little space and acts as a spacer for the sockets
Chris:
"Here are some safes. If they have any electronics, I don't trust em. "
Saved everyone 9 and a half minutes. ;)
Wish I seen this before the video tho
this one has a digital clock on it. therefore, total garbage.
here's my deal. with my bio pistol safe i know in a high adrenaline state i can swipe my finger far quicker than i can input a numeric code properly and if i mess up with the code? it'll take me WAY longer to input a code twice than it would for me to swipe my finger more than once. I've never had to swipe my finger more than twice on it and upwards of 95% of the time it works first try.
You should have included in your discussion if they had a fire protection rating.
This is one of the best CZcams channels by far.
The fancier VLine wall box seemed like the ticket for me, but I discovered my house was made with somewhat wide studs, so I wouldn't be able to secure it at both sides, which is problematic to say the least. I think I'll just have to compromise and use the shotlock, it seems to do the job okay enough and I can just velcro my shotgun card to the outside for easy access
Not sure if you get notifications for this comment. If your wall studs are wider than the box is intended for you could always make up this space with whatever thickness lumber or plywood. For maximum security you could lag bolt through all layers instead of relying on multiple layers of screws or nails.
Will the hornady shotgun rapid safe fit a side saddle?
Please review the new Smith and Wesson m&p 2.0 compact 9mm 3.6”
Securit fast box 40, or 47....$300, very solid
Had something similar to the V line and When somebody broke into my house while I was at work they were able to pry the bottom open and steal all my guns. Don't get a safe in less it locks in 3 places
@Paladin Stacker probably, had a home security system and they bypassed it... it was a really old system. Had 2 big dogs, they gave them gum mixed with something to make them sleep, I know that cause the dogs threw up what seemed like 5 packs of gum. Tge safe was secured, but could have been better.
@David Stairs Dogs for me are more of an early alert. Most of the my dog is aware of someone outside the home before my cameras are. I'm the protection with my shotgun. This is what dogs are really good for.
@@johnouellet8700 Bullshit flag thrown. So, they gave your dogs something to make them sleep? Did they plan on waiting at least a half hour before it was absorbed into their system and actually made them fall sleep? How did they bypass the alarm system? Maybe cut the phone line - which is defeating the system, not bypassing it. You make it sound like he Oceans 11 crew broke into your home. Must be a nice mansion.
Well done.
Nice! What model AR is that in the wall safe
Unfortunately in South Australia (where I live) Guns can not be Used for Personal Protection (unless you're a Licensed Security Officer) and not for Property Protection at all.
Under Our Gun Laws, storing a Gun with a Bolt loaded and Ammunition in a Loaded Magazine is Completely Illegal and if detected during an Inspection would cost Me My Gun Licence and Confiscation of all My Guns and Ammunition.
For Us it's Gun in One Steel Box, Ammunition in another Steel Box and Bolts in a Third Steel Box (with Assembly being Required before Gun were Operational and just try loading a Magazine in a High Stress Situation; it simply wouldn't work.
You Guys are just so Lucky.
How sad, to think that its difficult to protect your home and property.
Michael O'Donoghue what do you mean during a inspection
If they don’t find the body, then no problem
Inspection? People just random come to your house to inspect your dwelling? I dont even lock my handgun up at night i live alone. I just keep it close by while sleeping
sooo sad
Its a security vs access issue.
The more access you have to an item the less secure it is, and the more secure the item is the less access you have to it.
In my personal experience, the V Line is a good enough compromise between security and access.
Shotlock AR solo lock+ disabling the bypass key ie filling in with JB weld ect. And adding a muzzle attachment point made from materials from Home Depot. Is a good option shitty that’s there’s not a good off the shelf option.
Thank you
Is there a price point you would begin to trust an electronic lock? Most all of the larger gun safes I've been looking at either have an electronic number pad, or tumbler combination lock, which I don't see being very easy access.
I would consider trusting a UL-certified digital lock. They are often found on the larger safes.
Chris how could you forget the American flag safe? It is gorgeous, inconspicuous, and accessible!
Yall have any suggestions on smaller (2-3 AR rifles) safes that arent quick access? Just mechanical locks
Liberty Safe Centurion 12
What about the SecureIt fast box?
How did you miss the Secureit line? Better than any of those and affordable.
I used to just keep the rifle under the bed and the carry piece on the nightstand. Then I had kids. After that I modified the bed frame to hide the rifle. I keep a mag in a pistol safe (along with the M&P 40) in the nightstand. That's also where I dump the rest of my EDC like my watch, wallet, Fenix PD35 and phone (drilled a hole in the back for the charging cord). This forces me to access the safe EVERY NIGHT and, more importantly, every MORNING when my alarm goes off (when I'm sleepy). I also need to access the safe in the middle of the night if the phone rings (happens often enough in my line of work). This builds muscle memory. I can literally open that damn thing in my sleep. After all, there's no point having a safe in your room if you can't get into it in a hurry.
Can you do a full size review?
What about the
Hornady 98190 Rapid Safe ?
