Gun safe.
« on: March 01, 2016, 01:13:40 PM »
Long story short. I'm looking for a safe to hold my 2 handguns. Looking for suggestions. The only restriction I have is it can only be 7" tall. Thanks.

The only two safe brands that I recommend to anyone are Liberty and Fort Knox. Period.  Do some research and you will see why.  Fire ratings are subjective, and there is really no standard in how it is determined or reported.

Thanks. I liked the liberty gun vault. But my closest dealer isn't too good at customer service. I'll look up the other.

How reliable are the biometric liberty safes?

I'm looking at these two companies also and I'm not sure if I want to go biometric or the Fort Knox.

They have my confidence and I'm paranoid as crap about safety with these things. The only problem I have is there isn't one that'll suit my needs at the moment. I'm talking about the liberty ones. YouTube them.

Check this company out. Great customer service, when delivered they put it right where I wanted it and took all the trash with them.

What I can tell you is that you'll want to buy the largest, good quality safe you can afford and still get through your door. After you get a safe you'll discover several hundred additional things to keep inside it... wills (both your own and other family members), jewelry, watches, SD ammo, loaded mags, family silver, precious coins, safe deposit box keys, the list goes on.

Right now I actually have more chocolate inside my safe than guns. My wife likes chocolate every night, but can't control her consumption. So I lock it up and dole it out 4 pieces at a time. She has definite preferences, so the safe allows me to stock up when her favorite brand can be found.... without the fear of coming home to find a 6 foot pile of wrappers and a comatose wife on the floor.  ;D

Fire is much more of a concern than break in. Any safe on the third story of a wood framed home is going to be toast. There is simply too much wood around all 6 sides. Conversely, placing any safe in a corner or tight alcove of a concrete basement is going to double or triple it's fire resistance. So be smart about where you bolt it down.

Two handguns should easily fit in a Fort Knox Box.  http://www.amazon.com/Fort-Knox-FTK-PB-Pistol-Handgun/dp/B004H6MKI8

You will have to bolt it down, of course.

Not knowing what two Pistols you're talking about, but I've used the Fort Knox PB1 for years:

The 5 Button entry gives you quick access, even in the dark
I keep a full Framed Witness and four Mags in it, but it has more than enough room of twp large Pistols
You can find them for under $200.00 if you look
So tell me again how Trump was worse then the 8 years before .... AND what's coming after HIM !
