Hi, Im looking to buy my first Gun Safe and only have $1000 to spend. Is this a good Entry Level safe from Cannon. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

That's a good size but I guarantee there's not much more than some thin sheet steel in the walls and door. The 4" claimed on the door includes the frame and fire board.Last edited by JDay; 02-08-2015, 1:06 PM.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

Check out Liberty safes.History has proven time and time again that in a free democratic society the one thing that is NOT needed is the government deciding what IS needed. -Scott TreichlerComment

+1 on Liberty safes. If your not in a super hurry, come July when the Mid state fair rolls thru here(Paso Robles)you can get a KILLER deal from TnT liberty safes outta Bakersfield. Working an extra day every other to save up and buy one myself.sigpic"Keep your dick beaters off my guns"Comment

If the budget is $1K, then the Costco safes are the way to go. Otherwise, there are safes that offer a lot more but also cost more. Liberty and Cannon make some nice vaults but you will pay more...but youbget more too. And dont forget, safes usually hold only 50-75% of there rated gun carry capacity.... So buy big enough.Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association

The door is 4 inches thick and the wall thickness is 12 gauge steel and I know its not the best safe made but for the price and fire rating and warranty I think it's pretty damn good my dad had the liberty fat boy there nice to but it's all about what you want to spend and I don't think anyone is going to get in mine before my home alarm goes off and the cops show upComment

Thanks for all the advise. I will take all of it into consideration. I would like to get a higher end safe, like a liberty, but thats not in my budget. thanks againComment

If you want high end look at AmSec. With Liberty you're paying for the paint. They don't compare when it comes to security.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

OP, it seems like a deal to me..
20 years ago, I too had a limit of 1K for my safe. I opted for a well built closet safe to store my high dollar stuff. I'm pushing it at 15 long guns with only one shelf for the good safe. As I buy more guns, ammo and accessories I move the lower dollar items to less secured safes\cabinets that are bolted down in other areas
These tool boxes are really nice for storing ammo and guns
