Question What small inexpensive security box/safe to buy?

DETAILED ANALYZE OF STACK-ON GUN SAFES BY SECURITY LABS.wmv - YouTube

Luckily I saw this video before ordering a handgun safe/lock-box.
I have only 3 handguns that I need to secure. There are no kids in the house, and I'm only worried about a burglar finding/accessing the guns during his quick sweep and then shooting ME as I return home. But the safes in the video can be opened in seconds especially after being trained by the video.
I don't really want to spend a lot of money, just slow the non-pro perp down.
Any advice what to buy????

Was amazed at how easy they got those open!
Whatever small box you get, it needs to be bolted down.

I have a sheet metal gun cabinet that I bought 25 years ago at Academy for about $90. It is located in a closet with lag bolts securing it to wall studs. The door has a piano hinge on one side and two bolts which are operated manually via a barrel lock and key. I doubt a kid could get in it and figure I could defeat it in an hour or less with a power drill or reciprocating saw. It would slow down a burglar not stop him. I feel this locking method is more secure to the cases and cabinets that use electronic locks. The attached picture shows one of the two door bolts. You have to have the key to rotate the bolt, even with the door open. I'm sure a skilled lock picker could do it without the key, but burglaries in my area are usually done by unskilled idiots.
