Nightstand safe recommendation

#1

Post by ducatilover »

Anyone have a small safe they can recommend to keep bedside on a nightstand? Just to hold a pistol. Biometric or electronic key pad.

What do you use and recommend.

I have this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QFQ179L/ sitting in my Amazon "Save for Later". No kids, so I generally leave a blaster in my nightstand and desk when I'm here, and put them in a safe when I'm away.

Can’t go wrong with the vaultek slider. I bolted it back of my nightstand opens up towards the bed. Kids still don’t even know it’s there. Spendy but great quality.

If you get something biometric - be sure that you get something that has an alternate method of entry (push button numeric code etc.) that can be used quickly - and practice with that code regularly... My biometric safe has a cylinder key as a backup - and when the biometric functionality crapped the bed (started taking 2-3 swipes of the finger to open - then 2-10 swipes) the safe became a paper-weight because I didn't trust it to open when I needed it to open...

For a nightstand safe, I’d recommend checking out some small, reliable options from brands like Vaultek or SentrySafe. They’re compact enough to fit by your bed but still secure, and the Vaultek ones even have quick-access biometric locks, which I really like for ease of use. If you’re looking for something a bit more sturdy, the Liberty Safes have some great smaller options as well. You can find a lot of good choices and reviews over at Gun Safes.
