Safe Organization

[Big guy]

As my interest in S&Ws grows the need for a better organized safe came to the surface. I looked around at available options and wasn't quite satisfied so I made my own.

Very nice, though I would consider felt lining for the 'notches' to protect the stocks and finish.

I like to have the guns protected, so I use basic rectangular pistol cases, with labeled tags. Guns that are used regularly I keep in the door pouches. Here in the desert SW, humidity is much less of a concern than many places. Part of the motivation was space... then I got a second safe. Now that's full too...

I considered lining the notch but opted to round the edges and stay away from anything that could hold Midwestern moisture.

Here's my solution for handgun storage. I also have a larger Liberty safe (seen at left) for long guns, which has a set of drawers in the bottom as well. I built it all myself, using ball-bearing full extension slides.

Very nice!

Gee, I thought this was going to be a new club where we show off our safes!

You guys do good work, but I just stick handguns in wherever they fit, uncovered, no tags; I know what they are. I shoot and handload a lot and don't need a sub-hobby. All but two commemoratives are fired regularly. Long guns, same state of disorganization. Nothing rusts, no humidifiers, etc., but everything gets wiped down occasionally with a soft cotton cloth, lightly oiled. This has worked well for for the forty years I've had safes.
