![]() Strange but humans make mistakes, even packaging a product. Reassuring review : "First off: My safe arrived without a key. So all in all I’m happy to have a safe right next to me that I can open quickly at night if needed." - Carson Millar The safe holds 20 finger prints so I did a few prints for each finger I might need while in bed or kneeling by the safe. They sent me a new foam insert for free that I could cut (same as the original foam but I guess this way I can store a stock gun and the surefire light gun if I wanted). ![]() ![]() I have a light on my g17 and it wouldn’t fit without cutting the foam slightly, which was easy to do and now it fits great. The foam holds a stock Glock 17 and 19 firmly so there’s no moving around. I mounted mine by the bed so it does shift around if I’m trying to open it and is always in the same position. Then attach the safe to the mounting plate by hanging it on. It is easy to screw the mounting plate to the side of the bed, nightstand, under a desk or just sit the safe directly on the floor. Trending review : "The safe is well built. With a small child running around and more to come, this safe gives me peace of mind that my gun is both safe from children and easily accessible for authorized users." - Russell Law While it is a little pricey compared to other handgun safes, I find it to be worth every penny. ![]() Overall, I am very impressed with this safe. I did find it a little challenging to get this small safety screw on but only because I have overly large hands and the safe is too small for me to get my giant meat hooks in there while also having the dexterity needed to properly fit this screw. The bracket has a small safety screw that screws on from the inside of the safe. Now, the mounting bracket was very simple to screw on to the nightstand with the four screws provided and it can be switched from the left or right side of the safe to accommodate different mounting positions. The safe comes with two physical keys that can unlock the safe from the keyhole found on the underside of the safe. There is also a quiet feature to silence the loud beeping that is heard every time you enter a number or fingerprint. The safe allows you to put a code that is 4, 5, or 6 digits long using the numbers 1-4. The program button to input a new code and/or new fingerprints is located in the safe under the #3 key. I had up to 15 fingerprints (certain fingers I put in multiple times to increase the readability) within the first 10 mins. I had the safe open and programmed with a new code in under 5 mins from unpacking and most of that time was me installing batteries and reading the manual it comes with. I found the simplicity of the safe's operating functions very desirable. Four AAA batteries are required and are not provided. The battery pack is on the back side of safe and easily removable. The foam insert in the safe can be removed and cut if needed to accommodate larger guns although I did not have to do that for mine. This safe hit those two "must haves" right out of the park! This handgun safe is big enough to comfortably hold my Springfield 1911 and one mag. When looking for a handgun safe, my requirements were: 1) Be able to properly secure a large handgun (1911) from children and other unauthorized people 2) Be quickly accessible in the middle of night without having to get out of bed and/or fumble around in the dark. I was so impressed with this handgun safe that I had to leave a review. Helpful review : "I rarely write reviews for items I purchase on amazon even though I'm an avid user of reviews (I know, I should be better about this). If cost is no object, this is hands down the best smart gun safe on the market." - R. None the less, you can tell from just about every aspect of the safe design that a lot of thought and care went into it. However while the WiFi features are neat, it's pretty extraneous to the actual function of the safe. The only thing the app cannot do over WiFi is open the safe remotely, which I imagine is a security issue and honestly probably for the best. It immediately notifies you if the safe has been opened, tampered with, failed authentication, really anything that can happen to the safe. The app and web dashboards are incredibly slick, allows you to delete fingerprints or disable/activate different fingerprints on the fly. I've also added the same fingers multiple times to increase readability. It can detect the fingerprint no matter the angle you apply your finger. I also have the smaller VT10i with the biometric sensor and find that the Slider biometrics is much more accurate/responsive, likely due to the larger sensor. Since there are few handguns larger than the USP Tactical, this safe is more than adequate for the vast majority of handguns. Helpful review : "It's a tight squeeze, but it does manage to fit an full sized HK USP 45 Tactical with a flat plate magazine, despite it being 5.9" at it's tallest.
