Another vote for the gunvault brand. Just avoid biometric models.
Biometric don't work with bloody hands.
Or for me, ever. Fingertips are too messed up.
and I'm also a big fan of gunvault.
Optics planet usually has great prices on them.
And that's how I feel about the gunvault that uses electronics for a quick access safe. That's why I went with Fort Knox, it's a mechanical lock. I do have a gunvault GV2000 and love it but I only use it for safely storing my other two pistols.more or less this.
Would you you trust a smart gun to always work and work exactly when you need it? That's essentially what you are doing putting unreliable tech between you and your gun.
I have a Sentry Safe brand that works well for my needs. Its the electronic one with backup key entry. Not the more expensive one that includes biometrics.

Yeah I really like the one I have. I picked it up at my local Home Depot. They still stock them if I'm not mistaken.I just did a ton of research and looked for quite a while and I ended up with the same safe and I love it. I tried many other models in person, read reviews until I was tired of them lol and this safe was the winner to me. I sure wish they made a mid size 3-5 gun version too but not yet anyway. Regardless; it has been dead nuts reliable and it is totally silent in all aspects of operation, some brands beep for key presses which is strange for a quick access home safe.
Anyway, this is a good choice IMO.

You will always get what you pay for. If you want some thing to keep little finger out of those are good choices.Careful! It looks like a lot of the safes commonly available in stores have flawed designs and are easily crackable within seconds:
Are most handgun safes garbage?
Fort Knox seems to be an exception, though.

I worried a bit when I saw my model was on the list. Then I saw what had to be done. no big deal for me. A: mine is designed to keep kids out, not persistent folks with a bent wire and too much time and youtube behind them, and B: mine is permanently mounted in such a way that attack through the side hole is not practical.
I agree with you -- you have to look at the overall picture. But did your safe come with warning about what it can and cannot do, how it should and should be installed? That'd make a difference for me.
It would suck if we spend endless hours debating firearm quality, but are completely negligent in demanding quality from gun safe manufacturers.
