I've been thinking about it for a while and have been using a cheapo $20 lock box recently, but with the number of friends with kids that visit our house, I figured it's time to get a quality quick access safe. Coincidentally, a friend just texted me today asking for recommendations for the same.
Reading reviews for biometric safes, it seems like the technology is not quite there yet. Reviews seem to be hit or miss, and this is not something I want to have to fiddle with.
Wish list:
Ability to fit 2 full size pistols
Ability to securely mount it to a shelf
Fast opening
Key back up is a must
Battery preferred for flexibility in location
Bonus for me if it can be mounted in a drawer
Budget:$100-250
I'm more in the $100-200 range, he's fine with $250+ if necessary.
So far, I like the:
Vaultek VT20, non-bio but has a BT app $175 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072TR7WJJ)
Liberty HDX-250, biometric $195 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077SKC6VC)
Gunvault GV2000c, non-bio $110 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001XZZA6A)
I'd love to hear your experiences and get your input.
