Nightstand Safe for Large Handgun???

**BionicMan** · February 22nd, 2022, 08:47 AM

Hey all, I'm hoping that someone can point me in the direction of a nightstand safe with interior dimensions of at least 9" wide by 9" deep. (although 9" wide by 15" deep would be even better so I can keep a suppressor mounted)

So far, the ONLY option I've found that works for 9" wide by 9" deep is the Fort Knox "Original Pistol Box." I'm at least 3 hours into this search, so any suggestions would be much appreciated! And it doesn't have to be anything super heavy duty, whenever I leave the house, it goes into a proper stand-up gun safe. Thanks!

I know your reason for the suppressor but do you want your nfa in the evidence locker and all that entails?

I have this one from Horrible Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/071-cu...afe-62978.html It's nothing wonderful, but fits the bill for me. Your suppressor won't fit, but the firearm should.

If him and his family survive a break-in, do you really care at that point? I'd rather be alive to fight that battle afterward.

Exactly, and not have permanent hearing damage.

I would give this a shot...cut the back of the holster out and the suppressor should be able to slide through...

Hmmm, VERY interesting! I'll have to look into this in more detail. Thank you!

I was going to call them and ask about different holsters for guns with lights and so forth...This was as much a surprise for me...and I wasn't looking for this...but glad I found it.

Under the pillow in a holster is best. Holster helps prevent an AD, and being under the pillow helps when a thug is standing next to you and you are just waking up...

Thanks!

You're welcome.
