Any safe that advertises that they are so and so gauge is nothing but sheet metal .
I bought my safe right around 40 years ago.
It is made out of steel.
The sides are two layers of laminated 1/4 inch steel and the door is two layers of laminated 3/8 inch steel.
It would be real tough to cut through it.
As far as moving it you would have to cut a hole in the wall to get it out.
That is how I got it in.

If you want real security , fence off your property and get a bunch of good dogs.
 
Safes are employing 1800s technology. Power tools didn't exist when they were invented. Get a decent one (after all it's nice to have a nice cabinet for your guns, right?), bolt it down properly, and add alarms and cameras.
 
I remember the days when this was safe gun storage.

Most of what people like to call "safes" AREN'T.

Unless the safe body is constructed out of plate steel you simply have a "Residential Security Container".

Thank God I added 1 inch AR 500 plate to my safe.
If true, it would have been cheaper/easier/smarter to simply put the approx $4K cost of plate (not including cutting and specialized welder work) towards a real safe.

Good idea but using the combination as your user name kinda defeats the thousands of dollars investment.
 
lol, this is one topic that has been beaten to death, if you don't know by now that a basic safe or even a supposed super duper security safe doesn't keep shiat safe, will now, then bummer for y ou.

keep on posting info, i know its on the interwebs, lets just add to it.

just saying on a sunday

Again very ignorant steve. Why dont you ask how much I have in it. But smart people are the only ones that would do that. I will help you out. The plate was free. Why it was part of a job that i did and it was left over. The cutting well did that with my water jet. You guys need to start asking questions instead of running the mouth. You will learn a lot more that way.

Not getting the typewriter tough guy persona, but you can also just tell the whole story.
Personally, I hate playing 20 questions...
 
Why, I think is fun not giving away the entire story at ounce and having guys that can't do anything for them selves try to tell me how to do things.
