This case is rock solid (like other Pelican cases). ruclips.net/user/postUgkx3jMFPw9QX_Iu4DNcjW-t9AZ4_iNhJzhE I paired it with the Master Lock 140T set of padlocks. The US Airways ticket agent that checked the case was impressed by how completely the latches were secured. The case has layers of removable foam cubes that can be easily adapted to the contents of the case and keep everything secure. After declaring its contents to the ticket agent, I was allowed to put this case in other checked luggage. Due to its size and black color, this helped insure that it wasn't misplaced by a baggage handler. TSA was (apparently) happy with the packaging as well. If you plan on flying with more than one of the main items, I would recommend buying a larger Pelican case and just transport the case as another piece of checked luggage.
I agree with your choice of the Fort Knox, provided they solved the paint flaking issue that gummed up the Simplex lock. Three others that are based upon the Fort Knox design are the V-Line Brute, the Amsec PS1210HD and the Stealth STL-PB (part of and identical to Amsec, except for its finish). As far as the pistol safes with a holster, FAS’s FAS1 (7 Guage steel) is the best by a long shot, IMO. They use the same Simplex locking mechanism, but also has a robust, hardened steel 10-pin key lock, while almost all gun safes use cheap Chinese locks that take seconds to defeat. FAS1’s key lock stops the Simplex mechanism from being opened when placed in the “Out Position”, even if the correct combination has been entered (this is great when not at home).

@@Jaydem_ I still have it! I change the batteries once a year. I had to replace the extension arm that raises the lid. I was able to find it on Amazon for cheap.

You guys should reference the Handgun Safe Research channel, and BosnianBill. All of these save the 2021 update of the Fort Knox can be bypassed by minimal brute force.
So what secure gun safes are also quick access? I feel like the entire point is that it’s just enough of a deterrent to stop a random smash and grab thief or child from getting to your gun, not that it will be secure against a determined thief with enough time to pick locks or the ability to haul it with them. They are sacrificing security for accessibility in an emergency situation.
The guy that owned the first electrical company I worked for said he just kept a loaded gun in the bed with him. He didn’t want someone to be able to see him reach for his nightstand if they came into his room armed. He said he moves a lot and is stomach sleeper. He wakes up every morning with it down by his junk. So there’s always that option.
Loved the humor, but the bluetooth addition is actually genious in my humble opinion. My wife wont remember the combo to any safe i have, to have the option to open it for her in case im stuck in the garage or....... Im sure you can think of other scenerios that make that option seem pretty sweet.
I had a very similar safe to the Fort Knox in your video. It had the same type of Simplex lock. After six months the Simplex lock failed and I couldn't open the safe. Two locksmiths later (which is a statement to the security of the safe) I had to use an angle grinder to get my guns out of it. There is no key backup like an electronic safe has.
Interesting options that I have mostly seen before and rejected. To me, a beside gun safe must perform as he said, but also be absolutely silent. The "Ka-THUNK Thunk" of the SpeedVault is a huge no-no.
Vaultek safes are the best bedside safe's out there, I've had a VT20 and VT10 for about 5 years now. The VT20 fits my P07 with extended 17rd mag+Primary Machine comp and the wifes Ruger SR22 no problem. Never had an issue and batteries last for about 6 months of continued use (that means I store my carry there every time I come home). It might be pricey at first, but think about it; how much are your guns worth to you?

The best feature of the speed vault is, besides presenting my gun in an easy to grab fashion, or also holds two full size magazines that are just as easy to grab once the gun is pulled.
Frost River - I have the Speedvault too, but I don’t see how you can fit additional magazines in. The one in the firearm of course, but where else? Are you removing all of the padding inside?

You say that the GunVault's SpeedVault can accommodate the Glock 17. Would know know whether that would work if the Pistol has the Trijicon RMR installed. The Vaultek slider series, according to my observation, by using the template the company offers as a guide, is a bit too small to accommodate the Glock. I am interested in this safe, but I don't want to have to return it. Do you know whether the company offers a template online as Vaultek does?
They are used frequently by many gun owners. Obviously not in dangerous situations as often. But security feels nice, especially when there's many people in your house
The only thing about that Fort Knox safe is the price, yikes! I bought my full size electronic access fire resistant 400 lb 20+ gun safe for not much more than that thing costs (on a hot Black Friday deal).
These are more for keeping children out. To protect against thieves, you need something else as these units are usually magnets for thieving eyes. Big gun safes are one possibility as they are extremely heavy, but they also cost a lot of money, in fact they may cost more than your firearm. More reasonably is to use some sort of concealed enclosure where nobody would even guess something is being stored in there.
A had a nonovault. The combo, for some reason, didn't work anymore (it's a brain-buster). It took me approximately 20 seconds to pry it open with a big flat tip screwdriver. I would go with a Hornady lock box.
Just a friendly reminder for some people might be new gun owners and don't know all the rules. I live in Maryland and if you have children under the age of 18 it is illegal to keep a loaded or unloaded firearm unsecured. A lot of states are doing the same thing now.
Raising your children the right way is all that’s needed. Treating children like guns are voodoo is the wrong way. Teaching them from a young age gun safety is the best gift you can give them. I was taught at a very young age gun safety how they operate and how to shoot safely. I passed this on to my child and he was never ever curious about firearms ie sneaking to mess with them etc. he’s now grown and owns carries his own. I’ve never witnessed anything but safe handling from him. We were taught there not toys but tools.
4:06 Omg. I drive a Prius Prime... and I dress like a hipster sometimes..... I also have a Smith and Wesson SW1911 Pro Series... I feel attacked Hahahahaha
I usually make it hard for the intruder to get in first (4inch wood screws, better locks) that way my dogs will alert me and he will attack if he senses a bad person (he's did it many times before). That way I have time to grab my weapon of choice. Buy yourself time!
Like the fingerprint vault, but the again I would want my wife to access a firearm if needed. Then that feature would only be useful for one person only. Well I guess my wife can use the finder print and I use the code.👍
The fingerprint vault from Vaultek can store up to 20 unique fingerprints (useful to scan different areas and angles of your fingerprint so your more likely to get a positive ID on that finger)
The best is an old cigar box that I keep my model 39 9mm Smith and Wesson. Doesn't need a key, no combination for always quick and silent access. If this option isn't an option my 1903a Springfield completely original with a bayonet attached hidden beside my bed. Blunt force, deep cuts or an ear ringing blast will deter any intruder.
I don't have any guns, I ain't getting any guns, where I live it is too hard to get guns, so why the fuck did I just watch a whole video on gunsafes. LOL :-)

The Fort Knox really is an awesome safe, I would highly recommend it!

@@adamhudson6874 I have the Fort Knox, it is mechanical, and fits two pistols and two extra magazines easily. I recommend it highly 🤠

Fort Knox is the best. Really tough box. Heavy, heavy duty, and reliable.
I love my Speedvault. I have 2 of them. A Tactical Trap shelf is my next one.
Winchester Defender RFID handgun safe with a Hornady RFID bracelet works pretty well.
The key overrides on most of these safes are simple tumblers, but they can pretty easily be replaced with an abloy tumbler for higher security.
Real happy with my Vaultek VT10i. The biometric response is significantly faster than the other safes with fingerprint options. Great review, btw 👍🏼
Thanks Vito! Glad you dig it!
A flathead screwdriver and a paperclip can bypass it in about a minute.

Pew Pew. I was expecting this to be a Colin Noir video.
Just saw a guy on youtube knock out the buttons on top of the fort knox box with a screw driver and hammer and got into the safe in about 3 min.
I have quick access to my 9mm, it's under my pillow
I like the last one the most! I’d keep the fist 2 numbers set and just have to dial in the last digit for quick access! Nice for traveling as well.
