Handgun Safes

[HDoc]

My current problem is finding somewhere in a Honda Accord to loop the
securing wire around for a small lock box. Can't seem to find one in the trunk
or the car! Have it around the door handle in the back seat area.. not the ideal spot. My wife would think I've gone nuts if I start drilling holes for a
U-bolt.

+1 on V-line equipment. They are pricier than some, but after extensive research, I decided to go that direction now that we have grandchildren often in our home. I decided against anything requiring batteries and I wanted handgun safes/cases that could be quickly unlocked when needed. I have spoken on the phone with the V-line people and they are terrific. BTW, grandchildren are all they have been made out to be (fun, etc.), but they have already cost me more $$ than I anticipated (gun safes, plasma TV protectors, stairwell fences, fancy cabinet locks, etc.) :-)

What about car safes

What about car safes? Any recommendations?

I have no use whatsoever for those, either.

This is a bit larger, but for my handguns. I figure I'll get a small locking wall rack for my shotgun... and maybe my air rifle.

Anyhow, I got this yesterday at Costco and installed it today. It has a higher fire rating than some and has plenty of room for my pistols and a few valuables. I didn't necessarily want an electronic safe, but the price and size were right.

The safe has two adjustable shelves and I added felt bumper strips to prevent wall damage on opening and prevent damage to the front if attempting to close the door with the pins out. The safe is installed in my closet and the shirts stop just short of the top of the safe. It's bolted to the floor and it took hours to clear out and clean the closet up before installing the safe.

I also include my second wine cooler... 42-bottle capacity with digital thermostat for storing and maturing a supply of wine. Now I need to find a good deal on some decent wine and fill it up... the same for the safe, but it may take a bit longer.

Has anyone done a built in wall box? They don't look all that secure, but they're hidden. Was looking to install one in my closet.

Costco (online) also has a wall safe that is disguised as an electrical panel-

To me, the only use a car safe would have is to safely store your gun while you have to run inside a school or other "prohibited area." No particular need to access it quickly in those circumstances.

That's the only thing I use mine for.

I have one of the nano safes.l It is good gor what it is. I loop the cable around the frame of my driver's seat in the truck. Works great with the CM9 up to my Glock 30. A bash and run theif isn't going to stick around to try to get that thing out. A well-planned serious theif might. But it is better than nothing.
