Nick_shoots_fast Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I’m having my first child and I can no longer keep my handgun out in the open on my night stand. it’s a full size CZ with a stream light on it and I need some recommendations on safes. im really worried about electronic safes just due to the fact of “another thing could go wrong”. But I like how fast you can get to your gun. what do you guys suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Don't own an electronic safe, but if worried about complexity, why not consider a Simplex locked handgun safe? No batteries, easy to open in dark. V line and Ft Knox are some brands that still make Simplex locked ones. Old school but very reliable.

SteelCityShooter Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 +1 on the Simplex locks. Very sturdy, fast, ultra reliable and easy to operate in complete darkness. No batteries to die or fingerprint readers to refuse to cooperate. You can set the button sequence you want and change it at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 +1 as well. I have a V-line at my bedside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X5SigChris Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If you haven’t gotten one yet by chance, I was in the same boat. I got a vaultek. Ti20 I believe is the model. Has a key backup, code entry, and fingerprint entry. Can also link to phone via blue tooth to open remotely and check the battery life. The lid is spring activated so it opens quickly. LED light on the inside that’s adjustable. 20 fingerprints eligible with the first two being “master” prints. Fits my sig x compact and spare mag easily. Plenty of room to grab both without fumbling. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkleskiw Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I have both a Hornady Two Gun Keypad safe and a Fort Knox Personal Handgun Safe PB4 with Simplex lock. I'd buy the PB4 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffintopMarksman Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 +1 on Vaultek I’ve sold several to customers and have had no complaints. They don’t necessarily do too much different besides their app feature but they do the biometric side better than other companies we’ve carried. Plus we’ve played around with the same display for about three years now and it’s survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did, it was 100% my fault and I knew it before it ever denied my access. That would be when a part of my finger wasn’t on the scanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Anyone ever mess with one of the readers to see if little things mess them up? Like a new scar, a bandaid, ink or paint on your fingers ect? Or do they work differently than I’m thinking? I know the one on my phone didn’t work for very long but I think it’s more the cover than the phone.

X5SigChris Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 If I remember today, I’ll test out the paint experiment. I’ve got a shotgun that’s getting a rattle can treatment for spring turkey and im sure I’ll make a mess lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
