Gun Casket pistol safe

nolaradio · Nov 10, 2013

Anyone use one of these? http://guncasket.com/store/black-dual-pistol-key/
Saw this company's ad here on the forum. I'm looking to keep curious teenagers from handling my pistol when I am not around.

Looks Ok and is a good idea but for the same money you can get a GunVault model with quick opening in emergencies and a key backup lock. And you can bolt them down if you so choose. Do a Bing search for their web site to see features and Amazon/EBay to purchase.

Check harbor freight too. I got a small safe as a Christmas gift and they were priced lower than a lot of places. You can get more safe for the money.

got a nice gunvault for 30 bucks less that has the quick-access finger code thing. definitely shop around that thing is overpriced big time

I'm still looking. I don't want anything with a battery. I'd rather a simple lock.

gunvault has a battery for the finger code, and a regular ol key if you're an amish fellow. still double the safe for less cash.

I was looking at a pistol case from Fort Knox that runs just under $200. Seems a little expensive for what you get but I might pick that one up. I have a child at home. $200 is worth his life or someone else's life in my book. Until I can get a real safe I would like something to secure the pistol.

ive got kids as well, Ive got the gunvault hidden in a bookshelf out of reach, but ive also got a full size safe.

speaking of full size safes- you can get a decent one for not much more than you are spending, you may want to look at cabelas or academy and see if you can snatch one on sale?

I have to make room for the safe first. =-O

idk how you feel about walmart, but these arent awful for the cash. i've got one similar in the back (unusable) part of my closet.

I'll check it out when I can get to my laptop. Thanks.

I don't like anything with a battery and there are reports of these things failing electronically. I'm a big fan of the boxes with a simplex lock such as the Ft. Knox, AMSEC and v-line offerings. It is worth the extra money to buy one of these things. They are constructed of much heavier gauge of steel than the other pistol box offerings. The simplex lock has one achilles heel. It is good for kids until they are smart enough to systematically work through lock combos. They only have a little over 1000 possibilities.
