Default 3-4 handgun safe suggestions?

I'm planning on getting a safe I can have bolted down to a concrete floor--looking for a smallish one, only for handguns, maybe 4-gun max. Hoping I can get a good one in the 200-400 price range. It won't be for quick access, just safe storage. Any suggestions? thanks!

Plan for the future. Always get a bigger safe than you need. You can always put something beside guns in it. Someday you may own a rifle or shotgun.

From my own experience, buy a safe MUCH larger than you think you will ever need. Oh, it will still be too small!

+1 to the previous comments. Get a BIG safe, more guns and other valuables will fit in.

If you're going to the trouble of having it bolted down (wise choice) go with a larger safe. Costco has a smallish one that will also hold a few long guns for $500-ish.

I have one of the small Sentry fire safes next to the bed, around $200 IIRC. Easily stores a couple of handguns, but it didn't take long for the wife to start showing up with little nicknacks to store in it...

Aloha,

Get 2 safes from Sam's Club or Costco.

One for you and Your Toys and one for the Wife.

Trust me on this. It will keep hers hers and out of yours.

The Best investment I made.

And she's Happy.

Make sure that they're Keyed alike of have the same combination.

That way you don't have to worry about loosing a key or combo.

Does not cost that much more to have a locksmith do it.
