Gun Safes

[liontamer127]

I recently had a son and I have a Glock pistol. I'm want to get a gun safe, something I can mount to the floor or wall, that I can access in a hurry if I need to.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't want to spend a ton of money on a real safe. I started looking around, and this is something I came up with.

It seems to fit what I want, but one review said the batteries go every month. 8 AA.

Thanks in advance.

My Gunvault has been going strong for at least a year without a battery change. I open and close it at least 4x every day.

It isn't going to stop someone who wants in. You can get into it with a hammer and a flathead screwdriver or chisel if you felt like it. It'd probably take all of 10-20 seconds.

Mine is used simply because it's an easy place to store loaded guns for quick access, whilst keeping little hands out.

Even a "real" safe isn't going to do much good if someone really wants in. I could get into mine (an expensive Liberty) in less than 10 minutes with the right blade on a circular saw. Or a cheap torch set. No safe is going to stop someone determined.

By the way -- how old is your son? Mine is 3 months old.

Thanks. That's what I was looking for. Just want to keep my son away. He just turned 9 months old. He's crawling around and loves to play with anything he's not allowed to play with. I used to keep my pistol under the bed in arms reach with a loaded clip next to it.

As soon as he started crawling, it went into a strong box in the top of the closet.

Thanks again. Oh, and at 3 months, the fun is only starting.....

Liontamer127,

I have a Gunvault too.
I've had mine for at LEAST 4 years - no battery "problems".
I think I may have changed the battery once, but I can't be sure.

We have no children, but it's there if we have visitors with kids and for when we go away.
I like the fact that you can bolt it to the floor.

I looked at several models, but the Gunvault was the FASTEST to access in a hurry.
(others have come along since my purchase and may be as good - or better)
I have the larger MultiVault, it's a bit taller, but has a shelf so you can place more inside.

Hope that helps!
