Been doing a little research tonight. Seems Fort Knox are the best for mechanical lock. Originally was thinking about going with a biometric one but not so sure after some of the research I have done. Seems to be issues when people try to access them in a panic, and getting finger prints in just right.

I had access to a building once based on a fingerprint scanner. They must have scanned my print in a half-dozen times, and it never worked right. I always thought it was because of coming on/off insulin, and retaining or not retaining a little water making fingers swell or not. I would NEVER trust a biometric lock to work when my life depended on it.

If you never take your gun off your hip, you never need a quick access safe.

I have the Hornady RFID gun safe on my night stand. Haven’t had to use it in a pinch yet (and hope I don’t) but has worked great just getting into it to get my handgun.

I've got a hornady rfdi, as well. it fits well cabled around the frame under my seat and is fairly sturdy. we have a gun vault mv-500 in my wife's car and it isn't as tightly fit together, so it could be fairly easily compromised with a decent sized pry bar/large screw driver...given a little more "stick-to-it-ness" than a quick smash and grab type lowlife.

I have the Gun Vault that has the 4 number access code, not biometric. This particular one mounts on the bedside dresser (or under a desk) and opens downward for a grab and go situation. It is pretty handy and even has an interior light that turns on when the door opens. $170 or so.

I've got a GunVault on the night stand with my Glock in it. I've got a Hornday rfid shotgun safe mounted over the door in my walk in closet with a 590A1.

To those with the RFID safes...

Does Hornady have a RFID ring available similar to that offered by Gunbox? I dont see one online, only a bracelet that that i will never wear.
Can the Gunbox ring be programmed to work with the Hornady safe?
Can any 3rd party RFID device be programmed to work with both these safes?

Contents Include: RAPiD® Safe, Wall Power Supply, RFID Wristband, two RFID Stickers, RFID Key Fob, two Circular Barrel Keys, Security Cable.

I don't see a ring listed (and one didn't come with my rapid safe), but that doesn't mean that one isn't available (or at least in the works).
