Center of Mass In-Car Gun Locker

I need a safe for the car and read some good reviews about this one. Does anyone have experience with it?

Are there any others you have experience with and would recommend?
Thanks.

I have 4, I think. They are good for what they are intended to do.

They keep you legal. They don't make things theft proof. I went with the combo units. I don't like needing keys.

Note: Take out the foam and run it through the wash several times. It stinks.

One in each car lanyarded in place. One for occasional transport (like buying a gun in a cardboard box and getting it home). One spare.

I have a CoM safe for my car - I'm happy with it. I got it for two reasons:
1. It satisfies the legal requirement for locking it while I'm away.
2. It'll prevent the opportunistic thief from walking away with my pistol. The cable is strong enough to withstand a set of dikes, I think, and the box is fairly stout. Anybody with some time and a few tools will get into it, though.

Oh, and it was only $42 delivered so make it 3 reasons.
(That included an extra cable)

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

I have one also with combo lock, it keeps me legal.

So it's legal to put the gun together with a loaded mag inside this box?

It must be locked unloaded. Unloaded is not chambered or in magazine well. Keep in mind if you are in the process of committing a felony it is loaded if ammo is within reach.

I prefer the gunvault nano.

Where do you suggest keeping the magazine if having it close by (but not in the lockbox), means that you're in the process of committing a felony?

He's saying that IF you are committing a felony, ammo within reach is as bad as ammo in the gun. So, don't commit a felony. Otherwise, it's entirely legal to store loaded mags with UNloaded guns in the same locked container.

I think you can get them at WalMart. I got mine through Corporate Travel and Safety

I got the one with the three number combo lock. Didn't want another key to lose or fumble with.
