Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
A hidden room is always the best bet.
A hidden space in a wall is also good.
If you are a bachelor and never use the oven, there is lots of space under there to hide handguns.
Etc...

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I have a small stack on safe for my 20 or so guns. I bought one of those gun safe door organizers. It was too big for my safe so I cut it down and contact cemented it to the door. I bought extra velcro holsters for it and have about 8 handguns hanging on the door of my gun safe. It works for me.

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I have this exact door storage for my safe.

The problem is some big frame revolvers won't fit because the shelf gets in the way.
One thing I never liked the idea of is those barrel hanging rods like this.

Anybody around here use those?

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I agree totally. Gun safes are very over rated. Proper INSURANCE is where it is at. I have a basic liberty safe 23 gun that I inherited. My next safe will be the cheapest model of half decent quality that I can find. My reasons for having a safe are #1 To keep my guns secure from children #2 as a mere deterrent to common thieves.

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I bought a rack of those hangers.
I quickly realized that if you have long guns like South American Mausers and M91 Mosins in your safe, you will be banging stuff around with handguns hanging lower than the shelf.
After I knocked a couple handguns off with the muzzle of a long gun, I tossed it out.
I wasn't particularly keen on something staying in contact with the bore anyway.
Probably a nonissue but I kept thinking about a little moisture getting trapped between the hanger and rifling.
Again, probably not an issue, just something I wondered about.

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I store most of my firearms in a gun safe with a dehumidifier rod. It is a good deterrent for the average smash and grab thief and some fire protection is better than none.
Like others have said, get a safe. with 20+ firearms it’s time to invest in your investment.

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I hide'em. Here, there and everywhere. Once in a while I think of one of them, wonder what I did with it, and the fun (search) begins. This established, well-documented style insulates me from laws requiring that I report lost or stolen within xx hours.

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I have them scattered in 3 safes. I know that a pro can break into any safe, I have them to keep the common criminal out, keep them secure from children and fire protection.
Even if they crack one, there's two more. They will not have enough time to get that far along.

Re: Pistol storage. How do you store yours?
I got a couple of those rods, and I don't like how they rock and slide around so easily... I might have to resort to them, since I am running out of safe space in general, but I'd say that I'd look at them at a last resort.
I considered one of those gun magnets, but it seems like the "anti scratch" coating quality on them varies from vendor to vendor... Not something I'm a fan of risking with how much money I spend on guns. Plus, I can see my self getting a barrel "sucked" into an unoccupied magnet when retrieving or storing a long gun under it.
