First, Im not going to spend 5K on a safe.
My Goal: Protect my guns from a couple of teenagers or young adults who may have a few hours in my house to get it open.
So I ordered a stack on elite 24 and I am considering cancelling it. I have a stack on handgun safe and learned from youtube it can be opened with a paperclip. I tried it and it actually worked, how silly I feel.
The two safes I am looking at are the elite 24 from stack on and there is a nice browning LTD20. Not sure why its called limited edition but highly suspect. Its on sale sub $800 local to me, and I really like the rifle rack on the door.
I am also seeing that steelwater has a similar sized safe in the same range (the heavy duty model). http://steelwatergunsafes.com/index...ategory_id=21&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=64
The problem I have is these manufacturers make youtube vids of their safes and show people not being able to break into them. Then I realize its a $5K safe the same size as the ones I am looking at. These same manufacturers then sell a similar sized safe in my price range that can be pried open!
I have about 6 long guns a 4 hand guns.
For sub $1000, and the size of these safes, is this about as good as I can get?
Fire proof is nice but Im not too worried as if my house burns down I don't really care about my guns the most, they are insured.
So I guess with that said should I just keep my order for the stack on?
