Thanks for this thread. I’m going to buy one this weekend and the electric version is now crossed off the list!

I think that most of the gun “safes” on the market are there to discourage the crime of opportunity type burglars.

I could “peel” one of those safes open in less than ten minutes.

My neighbor bought an old payroll safe at an estate auction a while back. Luckily, it came with keys and the combination, and you need both to open it.

2 plus inches of heat treated high carbon steel, and at least an inch of refractory on the inside.

Rockwell “C” hardness on the outside is 54-58.

And it is fricken heavy.

Damn. Do you still get a clear ‘site picture’ with that thing?

“Did it not come with a backup key? If it did and the key has been lost, you might try writing to Liberty Safe to request a replacement”

The key does not open the safe. It simply prevents the dial from turning. When I bought mine they said it was for day access. It partially locks the safe if the combination has been entered.

I have two P89’s and a Bersa Thunder 380 in mine.
Not sure how long your suppressor is, but inside is 1 3/4 by 8 3/4

Not really. Took a bit of practice to estimate the shot placement, but it good to go now.

Still want to get some elevated sights for it.

Black Friday had record gun background checks of over 250,000 so there should be some sales on gun safes. I saw one for 80 guns.

I have a safe. It starts at the front door.

The fact that everything is out for my taking is kinda what I call “Safe”.

I have a kid though who is getting touchy-feely so I am keeping them higher and in a room that she can’t get in. I’m thinking just an audible alarm should do the trick. But locking things up ? Never was a fan. I don’t even like to conceal because it means I can’t get to it as fast as I should.

“My fingerprints are very low profile, and have always required multiple attempts with ink. So, it takes a dozen attempts for me to open that safe.”

My wife’s fingerprints are very low profile. She can’t use a finger print/profile on a smart phone..let alone a gun safe.

My index fingers are heading that way.

Our older son has a nice and large gun safe in his garage, and he has a combo lock.

He has fellow hunters and workers, who live or did live in the Santa Rosa area that was devastated in the recent fire.

So far everyone he has contacted or heard about, lost everything in those safes, in the fire. Apparently, the temps were too high and the high temps lasted too long.

Somewhat on this subject. Many of us have go bags in case of earthquakes, floods or fires (welcome to California).

A friend who lives in hurricane/tornado Floriduh told us about people who lost the keys to their bank safety deposit boxes due to a hurricane or tornado.

He said that it was nightmare for these people, some with minimal ids to get into their bank safety deposit boxes and paying a big fee for having the boxes drilled open.

Now our safety deposit box key stays in our go bag.

I am a big proponent of safe storage.

Safe storage = lack of quick convenient access.
