    Not trying to hijack this thread, but I have a portable handgun safe that I'd like to sell. Where would be a good place to post a for sale ad? Prefer not to go the CL route. TIA

    Below are to companies that sell 'real' safes. Avoid the junk sold at gun stores, sporting goods, big box stores etc. Stick to mechanical combination locks, not the fancy push-button electronic locks, and especially any that rely on biometrics alone.

    I am waiting for THIS SAFE and two of THESE to be delivered. Once I get it installed, I'll let you know how I like it.

    Now for a side question. I know this cabinet isn't really going to prevent theft by anyone who really wants in, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to make it more difficult, I'd really appreciate it. I'm not trying to rebuild an entire wall or anything extreme, but I'm not opposed to bolting it into some studs or something. I don't know... thoughts?

    Update: The stack-on cabinet is ... Not great, to say the least. First shipment came without keys, and the cabinet was beat to all hell, very large/deep dents in multiple places. Fortunately, Amazon has the most amazing return system ever. They sent me a new one before I even shipped the first one back, no fuss. The second shipment was better. Has keys, but still had one small dent in the sidewall. Decided to keep it (smoothed it out with a hammer+2x4). Assembly was an absolute nightmare, and I didn't leave the battle unbloodied. Even following the directions carefully, it was vague as to the proper assembly of the modular aspects.

    I'm keeping it, but I added my own hooks to the innards and it now serves strictly as a locker for my ballistic vests and general accessories.
    Instead, I picked up a Sports Afield EA03 (HERE) and used two of the stack on pistol racks. Works fantastic as a handgun vault. The stack on racks hold even my two .50 DEs without issue.

    haven't seen a quick access safe for three pistols. My suggestion would be two safes. One small quick access safe like the ones made by gunvault kept nearby affixed to furniture to dissuade theft.

    I would then get a second, more durable slightly larger closet safe (also mounted). I used a rotary combination fire safe made by sentry intended for documents found at Home Depot. Given limited space and budget, that's how I'd roll.

    Good idea for those of us without an FFL. Drop Down ceilings work well too...
