Handgun safe storage

[tyrist]

What does everyone use to store their handguns in their safe? I need some way to organize these things there are so many I just have them laying all over the safe.

I had the same problem. First off, I use velcro pistol pockets to fully utilize the door space. On my Liberty I can fit roughly 12 onto the inner door.

As for cramming them on shelves, I use 6 gun pistol racks similar but not the same to these:

These helped ALOT

Gained me about 18+ more spaces to store others. I have them lined up beside eachother on 2 shelves.

Depends on the size of your safe
I like the door pockets myself but if i had a bigger safe ( I eventually want to convert a room into a vault )
I would use http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...048&hasJS=true

I would love to have a vault.

Wow, that carousel rack would be a very cool center piece on the coffee table...especially filled up!

I store mine upside down resting on their sights. I can get 14 of them on a shelf.

Where have you guys found the door pockets?

I looked around a couple places and i didnt see to much.

I went out and got a wire shelf that attaches to the bottom of the shelf that is in my safe.



Works pretty good and doesnt seem to interfere with the long guns in the bottom section.

My girlfriends all for it
we both figure its cheaper than buying 3-4 decent safes to hold all that im going to want

I keep mine in zipper cases. It's very good protection, and I can keep my mags, loaders, and other accessories with each gun, so I just grab the bags I want when I head to the range. You can stack them vertically or horizontally (or both), depending on your shelf arrangement and bag sizes. This allows me to fit quite a few in there at once.

The only problem is if you have a number of bags alike - it's not easy to see which is which unless you have a tag on each. I'm working on that now, but haven't found a tag system I like yet.

I wipe 'em down after handling and use the silicone impregnated Bore-Store soft cases on all my firearms. No problems in over 20 years.

I recently got a bit more organized, and bought a number of these.

The guns are still in the soft cases, but now that they're upright, there's a lot more room in the safe. But I still need a bigger safe... ;-)

I purchased plastic hooks, available at any hardware store, and attached them to the panel on the door of my safe. They are attached via two cap screws with nuts. They are not coming off. Stagger them correctly and the door will hold a lot of handguns depending on the size of your safe.

If you are afraid they might jump off during an earthquake or something you can easily make straps to hold them on.

I like the plastic hook idea
could really customize it and get more to fit on the door
