    Just thought I’d inquire here if any members own one of these and what your impressions +/or recommends (or not) might be? … Before I “pull the trigger” on one of these (before going all in for a total of 4 if they turn out to fit our needs)

    We will assuredly only ne interested in the keypad function (which depends upon batteries maintenance which is a rabbit hole all of its own spread across different hime levels, etc. Sigh)

    Lol, my wife’s solution to everything inside the home is her Glock 26 ….

    with a 33 round mag sticking out of it … on the end table, next to her and the dawg’s recliner!

    Get her a KV extension for 40rds or a drum with 50. There’s actually good quality ones out there nowadays.

    That looks like an interesting solution. I guess it's locking into the ejection port? I see pluses and minuses to that, but at least you know some jack-ass isn't going to pull the trigger and have an ND. I've been thinking about a shotgun solution for the bedroom, and maybe this is it.

    Even if someone rips the whole thing off the wall, they still can't operate it.
    I think it is way more likely that the safe itself will fail before the wall mount fails, provided you didn't do something stupid like use nails or mount it straight into drywall (no studs).

    Things like this are for your own personal peace of mind. They can be defeated. If you wife keeps her Glock 26 on the end table i'd spend $283 on ammo lol.

    Any safe or lock can be "defeated." That doesn't mean that we just leave all our $h!t lying around unlocked.

    Government safes are rated in terms of covert entry, surreptitious entry and forced entry. That is, the time it takes to crack a lock surreptitiously, covertly or by brute force. Reference: AA-D-600D

    I contend that this device would provide decent short term resistance against forced entry which is the most important. The device provides "adequate" security on a day-to-day basis when the home is most frequently occupied by the owners. In cases where I would be absent from home for several days, I would move the shotgun to the main gun vault in the home. It's not meant to take the place of a regular gun safe.

    Proper tools for the intended task.

    Angle grinder or a plasma cutter beats pretty much everything, especially given enough time.

    One thing I don't love about all of these wall-mounted safes is that there's no way to mount a receiver-mounted side saddle. Yes, I could throw some tape on the wall next to the gun and put one there, but it's a big drawback.

    I use the Esstac shotgun card, have an extra velcro card on the outside of the lockbox, just grab and slap it on the receiver.

    For long guns, just a regular keyed stack on gun locker that's
    bolted to the wall is more secure and just as quick. Hang key somewhere only you know about, but that is quickly accessible and wallah, long gun + ammo+ med gear + anything else you want in there with it. Bonus points if you install it recessed between studs to preserve closet space.
