Electronic Handgun Safe for Desktop?
3/19/2012 9:16:05 PM
I'm interested in an electronic desktop safe for handguns that can be mounted to a desk with screws. I've looked into the GunVault models, but I haven't found one that explicitly says it's capable of being mounted directly to a desktop or other flat surface. This safe needs to be large enough to hold a full size pistol with two spare magazines (1911 or 92FS size) AND a small pocket revolver with two speedloaders (J-frame or equivalent). This safe will be used to store my CCW handguns, instead of constantly opening and closing my full-size safe (PITA).
What are my options?
Thanks!

I have one and like it. It is drilled for bolts in the bottom. Sturdy and has worked flawless for 2 years. 16ga I believe. American Security PB2 Handgun safe

No experience with this one. 10ga with a simplex lock. It may be a bit tight on space.

I've had the Fort Knox safe for years and it works well for medium security of handguns. Access is very quick and the combination is user chosen.

I'm considering the Fort Knox one. I was only interested in electronic locks, but I didn't realize that there were non-electronic locks that were as good as the Simplex lock on the Knox safes.

Gunvaults can be screwed down.
Mine is great. They even comes with a template to mark the holes.
