Thinking bout getting a safe.

[Guest eyebedam]

Ive been toying witht he idea of getting a decent little pistol safe. Ive got three daughters & theres kids all te time in & out of the house & id really like a secure place to keep my pistols. Right now there kinda stratigicly placed throughtout. Im kinda wanting something that will hold 6 to 8 pistols. I dont want a huge safe just something I can lock my pistols up in. Any ideas or suggestions of places I could go to check out some safes? Im not wanting to spend a ton of money maybe somewhere in the 175.00 or less range. I did see 1 @ Wally world but I want to check out some others first.

I don't have any of these, but Harbor Freight has several that might work for what you want..

Thanks for that link. Im thinking something along the lines of this type of design would probably work best. I wonder if they sell these in the store or if its online only? If I do go this route id probably line it with foam or somethig.

I was just in Harbor Freight in Donelson, last week. They had several models in stock.

I love that store.

while foam will defiantly work you might want to look at a handgun rack

NOOOOOOOO don't do foam. It is a moisture attractor.

I have a safe from HF.Its cheap but it does its job well.Had it for nearly 4 or 5 years I suppose.Its had the same batteries it came with still in it and still working.

Just keep in mind these are not fire safes,but will work well to keep un-wanted hands off of them

I know a distributor for these if anyone is interested...he might be able to do better than the listed prices but I haven't tried yet. They look pretty cool, check out the site; the video will make you cringe.

I read somewhere that those fire ratings are a bit misleading. The amount of time they list isn't how long they tested it at the rated temperature. Like, say they said 1,000 degrees for 1 hour, that means they slowly raised the temp up to 1,000 degrees over the course of an hour and not just let it bake at 1,000 deg for an hour. I forget where I read that but it was interesting, whether its true or not is beyond me.
