Small fireproof gun safe question please~~~

[Catherine]

Hello!

I need some information on a small fireproof gun safe please. I have seen the threads on the larger gun safes.

I am interested in a quality, fireproof, small lockable gun safe that I can CARRY or stow if needed in my vehicle. I can't carry more than 50 pounds, IF that, anymore so I would want something LIGHTER weight and not BIG. (I am 5'3" tall.) I could drag/slide 50 pounds but I would NEED to be able to LIFT this if I am alone.

I would like this to hold 5 handguns if possible and if not something a bit smaller - 3 handguns? I would like to be able to keep them in my soft cases with a zipper type close but if that does not work... I could wrap soft undershirts or soft material around each one so they would not get scratched.

I might want to throw in a few small other items in between the guns. A SUPER small zipper case that holds jewelry, a couple of photographs stuck inside, etc.

Do any of you have any idea what I am talking about? This 'safe' could hold firearms or anything else of value including some paperwork on top. (Not a file cabinet! Grin.) Something small, not super heavy or big for ME to LIFT. Fireproof and with a key instead of a fancy combination lock.

What brands do you suggest and any other ideas for me? Thank you.

Sincerely,

Catherine

50lbs that will hold 5 guns. thats kinda border line most safes that weigh that much are very thick and dont give you much room in the inside. a place to look at is Cabelas i would recomend the sentry line of safes. For smaller safes they do a good job.

Fireproof safes (like the Sentry mentioned) should not be used to store firearms. Their insulation will rust your guns.

I sell safes from over 30 manufactures, and I can't think of anything that is fireproof, that size, and less than 50 pounds. Even if there was, I wouldn't keep guns in it.

Thanks for the information.
