Pretty cool little pistol safe!

If I currently had use for a small safe I would pick one up.

For $380ish, that little sucker ought to rub my feet too! It is pretty neat, though. Maybe I'll revise my Santa letter.

Way too many moving parts and too much dependence on technology.

I'll be sticking with my handgun "safes" utilizing mechanical simplex locks.

My preference is for mechanical, rather than electronic.

Murphy's Law predates electronic safes, thus has full legal precedence.

The original link was to the Colion Noir edition which is $60 more. I didn’t and don’t plan to compare features to figure out why the CN version costs 20% more.

It's small enough to be used in a car or SUV so it's a major oversight to not make it easily lockable to your vehicle.

What?

Somebody who doesn't know anything about building safes collaborates with a manufacturer that doesn't know anything about building safes, and they don't build a safe right?

Shocked I say.

I have a Cannon Velocityvault safe, they work well for a quick access non vehicle safe. Costco was selling them for $80, but I see that most places list them at twice that.

Also known as the GunVault SV500, for $120.

You can't just lift it off the mounting plate unless it is open. Maybe with a crowbar...

Endeavor to persevere.

Which, by coincidence, any burglar worth his salt happens to be carrying.

The nice thing (for him) is that once liberated, it's very portable.

Even if they don't have a crowbar with them, if someone mounts it to some of the items they show (e.g. night stand) those items are easy to cart off and get in later.

"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

I have a Vaultek safe and love it! Battery life is incredible! I haven't charged mine in about 3 months and I'm still on 75%.

Before buying the Vaultek I bought a Fort Knox mechanical safe. One of the buttons stuck and wouldn't operate. So mechanicals will fail too.
