Hi all,
I've been looking for a handgun safe with a mechanical lock for the nightstand. This is primarily to keep my toddler away, but still give me quick access. Thieves are only a secondary concern for me. I'm not currently interested in bio/keypad/dial/fob/key/etc. locks.
I'm looking at pistol safes similar to those below, but the problem with them is that they don't seem to have a lot of feedback yet. Some of the Fort Knox's do, but I'm worried because I've seen that some of their simplex locks have been breaking with regular use, trapping the gun inside. Not a situation I want to be in.
This would be for a gun that I also carry, so I expect to be opening and closing it a lot. A lot of the manufacturers only offer a one year warranty, which doesn't give me a lot of confidence that if I run into this problem, I'm going to get any help.
Anyone have any experience, good or bad, with a simplex safe?
