Cheap yet efficient pistol rack

I've been searching for a quality pistol rack to store my pistols on a safe's shelf. After wading through seemingly endless options online I found one that suits my needs perfectly, the Ikea Variera pot lid organizer! They're six dollars, stainless steel, and will flex like scissors to accommodate anything from a thin .22 pistol grip to a desert eagle or s&w 500. They have small rubber feet so they wont shift or slide from the weight of the pistols leaning against the pillars.

NOTE: If you don't store your pistols in gun socks this may not be the best option as I can see the stainless steel scratching your pistols.

To avoid scratches, get some of the rubberized liquid dip at the hardware store. (I think it also comes in a spray can.)

Coat it and don't worry about scratches.

Sturdy Safe makes a quality pistol rack. They are around $30 for an 8 pistol rack.

Keep an eye on your pistols

I have a couple of pistol racks that are made entirely from that dense grey foam. They will suck all the oil off your pistols at the contact points. I have relegated them to short term use at the range or on the workbench. Not good for long term storage.

Plasti Dip is what you're referring to. Aaand it's amazing! I know they sell it at Home Depot, not sure about Lowes. I get the 6 packs from Amazon.

I ordered custom racks from here:

I got the duel level ones made to fit my safe. I store anything from a 2" Rhino to a 8" S&W 500 and Desert Eagles.

They are not cheap but they are very well made and lined with felt.

i've taken to storing individual handguns in old wood cigar boxes inside the gun safe. i store magazines that way too. original boxes for the guns are stored elsewhere.

I use these - 3 pack. On Amazon they claim to fit 22lr. This is NOT true. So, with a dremel I ground 1 down (slow up and down the shaft while rotating ) and rather than use rubber plasti dip I used heat shrink wrap.



Here is one of mine in use

I have the lockdowns in my safe. Buy once;-)

You can also use electrical heat shrink wrap. It works great on the rack I built my self.

Paid someone $20 to make the same thing. Labor and materials were under $40.
