Gun Safe Suggestions

Personally, I like Browning Medallion series safes. I don’t know anything about swing out racks, but Browning has door storage which is nice for commonly used firearms.

Depending on your needs, it generally makes more sense to get a smaller safe, with the plan to get another one when space gets tight.

Smaller safes are easier to fit in closets and easier to move yourself.

Easier to steal too.

Yes, and cheaper ones are also easier to break into.

They should be bolted down and should have limited/no access to the back/sides.

All safes do for theft is slow them down. That’s why it’s important to have multiple levels of theft mitigation.

But I have never once heard of or knew someone whose safe was busted open and the guns stolen.

When I was researching safes, I read a story of a guy that had his safe in the garage, next to his cutting torch. They got in pretty easily

I also personally know a guy who had his cabin broke into and guns stolen. They pushed the safe over and pried a hole in the door big enough to pull all the guns out. The number of door bolts does matter. His case is a prime example though. The thieves knew they had plenty of time to work. They even ate lunch.

At the end of the day, you want to make it as difficult as possible for them. A monitored alarm system doesn’t allow for much time to haul off or break into a decent safe.

Also, as proud as you may be of all your guns, it’s best not to advertise it to many people.

Sturdy Safe if you are serious about protecting your valuables.

Just make sure you count your guns and double the capacity for the safe you choose.
