I'm looking to invest in a small (30-36H x ~24W) safe for a few handguns, valuables, papers, etc. I don't have enough [valuable] long guns, in my mind, to warrant a safe for them... I can look for a reasonably priced RSC just for that later if need be. I'd rather get a good B or even C rated, fire resistant safe first.
I'm assuming this will be a 700+lb box. Where does one put it and how best to secure it? On concrete only? Putting it in a garage does not make sense to me -- my home security system doesn't care about the garage door. Can it be made non-obvious in some way?
Once you get above the RSC consumer market, what distinguishes these safes from each other and how can I know what will matter most to me, i.e. how can I compare those differences in some meaningful way that can help me make a decision? And finally, which players in this space should I be looking at and how much should I expect to have to pay (ball park)?
TIA!
