    cheap handgun safes?

    I just purchased my first handgun and now Im in the market for a safe to store it. i wanted a biometric(fingeprint scanner) safe ideally so i can get my gun out in a pinch. My budget is around $150. any ideas?

    I suggest not getting a biometric. Too many stories of battery failure, and one of the top arguments against smart guns that use biometrics. If you anticipate needing to get it "out in a pinch," then you would want something reliable.
    Try for a mechanical button lock. It is not hard to open them quickly, even in the dark.
    All electronic handgun safes are prone to fail at some point. Biometric Handgun Safes are not always 100% reliable in reading your fingerprint. When you want gauranteed access every time for years and years, Mechanical Lock Handgun Safes are the best pistol safe option. We stock only the best Simplex Mechanical Safes

    Ft Know safes are supposed to be very good, and currently at $50 under what Ft Knox sells them for.

    I don't understand. Is he being forced out for being an ammo-grabbing fascist or for being a failure as an ammo-grabbing fascist?

      The Ft. Knox is quick and easy to open one handed too. They designed it to be doable in under a second.

        get a 5 "click" button mechanical safe. the locks are reliable and they're designed more to prevent someone from grabbing it off the table and using it inappropriately, than to prevent theft.

        quick to open, and usually <$100.

          I bought a decent size honeywell safe from Northen Tool. It has an electronic key pad and cost under $100. Here is the same safe I bought, Northern Tool dosen't carry it any longer.
