This safe holds a lot of guns, will keep them protected, and co*es at a reasonable price.
Pros

Product Description
There are two things you should know about gun safes: The good ones are heavy, and they don’t co*e cheap. As the best gun safe for the money This Signature E-Lock safe straddles that line of being not too heavy and not too expensive(just over $2,000), while still holding a good amount of guns and keeping them secure.
It includes a door panel for holding handguns and accessories, which frees up room on the interior for more long guns or valuables. The SecuRam electronic pin pad is easy to use, especially co*pared to the dial locks. I have a SecuRam pin pad on my gun safe, and I suggest keeping a spare 9 volt battery on hand. If there is ever an issue with opening your safe, a fresh battery usually solves it. After a few years of use, I did need to get a new keypad and I found the SecuRam customer service to be top-notch. Like most safes, this one will be delivered curbside. You’ll be responsible for bringing the safe into your home.

This is a safe that is discreet enough to sit on a bedside table and it has useful features like a clock and USB ports for phone chargers.
Pros

Product Description
The Hornady Rapid is the best bedside gun safe but it does more than keep your firearm secure. It’s not out of place on a nightstand, thanks to its digital clock and two USB ports. The spring assisted drawer pops open when you use the RFID tag, access code, or key to open. RFID access is my preferred method and I think it’s faster than a biometric scanner. Just wave the tag in front of the drawer and it pops open.
It’s a hefty safe at 18 pounds, but that’s a good thing. The weight helps it stay in place and is a product of its solid construction. Bolting the safe to the table it rests on or using the supplied cable lock will add an additional level of security. Just keep in mind that this safe won’t be as secure and isn’t fire resistant like other safes. But, for a rapid access handgun safe meant for your bedside, this is a smart bet.

Whether you want a discreet way to store firearms or feel like James Bond when you grab your EDC, this is the best discreet gun safe solution.
Pros

Product Description
Discreet firearm storage is a trend among gun owners. From art that holds a handgun to coffee tables that hold a few handguns, there are a lot of unique ways to keep your guns hidden in plain sight. But, in my opinion, the most nondescript is this full length mirror from Tactical Walls—no one expects a mirror to have a hidden co*partment. It has plenty of space for a long gun, handguns, and other valuables. You can access those items quickly, the door slides open when the magnetic lock is unlocked. The biggest downside is that it’s not easy to install and you have to cut a hole in your wall. It’s also important to note that this isn’t a safe and it won’t keep a determined person from accessing your valuables. But, if you’re ok with that, then this is a great option for storing firearms.

There are many options for the best biometric safe on the market, but few offer the features this safe has at its co*petitive price.
Pros

Product Description
This is a biometric safe that unlocks with a fingerprint scan. But, its high-tech features don’t stop there. The Vaultek RS500i Rifle Safe also has Wi-Fi connectivity that allows you to monitor the safe with the Vaultek app. The app gives instant alerts for safe activity, battery status, the history log, and you can adjust the brightness of the interior light. It’s a lightweight safe at just 93 pounds, which means it can be easily moved and installed on a second floor.

If you need a simple safe for transporting a handgun or keeping it secure, this is the best budget handgun safe.
Pros

Product Description
It’s important to understand the intended use for the Liberty Safe Box before buying. It is not the most secure and it does not have a fire resistance rating. But, it is light enough to be transported, is TSA approved, meets California’s requirements for a transportation safe, and it easily fits into a drawer. If you need an affordable safe (about $30) for your bedside or need one for flying with your handgun, this is a great safe to fill those roles. It has anti-pry features and the keys used to open the safe aren’t generic. It also includes a cable to secure the safe to something solid.

The Lockdown GoldenRod efficiently reduces moisture in large gun safes.
Pros
Cons
Product Description
Most gun owners choose to protect their guns with a large safe, which they’ll keep in a basement or garage. The downside to those two locations is that they can get damp and humid. That moisture causes wood stocks to swell and surface rust to form on firearms. Those are obviously bad things, but you don’t have to move your safe. You just have to use a method for keeping moisture out of your safe. There are a ton of great options out there, from disposable moisture-absorbing crystals to the best gun safe dehumidifiers. One that stands out above the rest is the Lockdown GoldenRod. It creates heat and air circulation to reduce moisture and prevent moisture from settling on your guns. The device heats up to around 120 degrees, so you don’t want a plastic or wood stock resting against it. I find this dehumidifier especially effective in cold basements or in garages during winter. In a garage, you might want to add absorbing crystals, like the Barska moisture absorber, in the summer.

I’m a huge fan of the Vein ID port, and this heavy-duty safe mounts cleanly via an attached frame portion under any wooden object for concealed but quickly accessible storage.

The easy to install Underdesk Safe from MAXSafes features one of the best biometric recognition systems. Dubbed Vein Recognition, a small door located in the drawer of the safe allows for finger insertion during setup, and in three easy steps, the safe will scan and store your vein pattern. Of course, the safe also allows for PIN and standard key entry, but after scanning my finger, I had no trouble opening the door. And the Silent Mode keeps the safe hushed. MAXSafes claims this one will hold a pair of full-size handguns, but it’s a tight fit. For an added bonus, the padded drawer is fitted with pre-cut foam that allows you to custom fit your handguns.
A safe is something you’ll likely buy once, and you won’t need to buy another until your gun collection outgrows its capacity. The safe you buy depends on what you plan to put in it, where you plan to put the safe, and how secure you want your safe to be. As I mentioned earlier the best gun safes are heavy and expensive. That’s the trade off for increased security and fire protection. But, if you just need a safe to keep a firearm out of untrained hands, then a simple gun cabinet or drawer safe is all that’s needed. Here are some important things to keep in mind when making your choice.
A gun cabinet is made from a thin steel, usually 14- or 16-gauge, and doesn’t offer fire protection. They keep honest people honest. If a thief wants to get into a gun cabinet they’ll be able to pry it open with some effort. The pros are they are less expensive and much lighter. If you live in an apartment or plan to move in the near future, the reduced weight is a benefit.
A safe is far more secure and the good ones will have a fire rating. They feature thick lock bars, thick walls, and more advanced locks than gun cabinets. The cons are that they’re heavy and expensive. If you are putting a safe in a location and don’t plan on moving it anytime soon, then a 1,300 pound safe is a great investment.
The main selling point for safes are their features and customizable layout. Here are some features to look for in a safe.
Liberty Safes are made in the U.S. from premium co*ponents. They are absolutely worth the cost and a great investment.
Gun safes can be bad for guns if you don’t use a dehumidifier in them, especially for safes in basements or garages. Aside from rust caused by humidity, a gun safe is the best place to store a firearm.
Guns aren’t cheap and they are one of the most sought after items for thieves. Protecting them with a gun safe is a responsible thing to do.
Safes protect your valuables like guns, jewelry, and important documents. They’re an investment, but one you’ll be glad you made. The key is to pick a safe that best meets your use, storage needs, and budget.
