ok gents... need some advice.
Ive purchased a gun for the home and while I wait for background to clear I have been researching gun safes/gun boxes. I know they won't be as secure as a real safe, this is more something to keep my wife happy and in case I do need to keep it locked up (like when the cleaning people or any maintenance people show up).
Its only myself and the wife (no kids) and we are in a one bedroom condo that requires going upstairs to get to the main floor. So in a case where someone did get in and if we woke up to realize this we would not have much time (seconds) to get the gun and be ready. This will be on my side of the bed because I will have a better defense position with a clearer line of sight out the door from my side of the bed.
I keep thinking a biometric access box would be fastest BUT that requires power (usually batteries) and there is a reliability factor that plays into this decision as well. I keep going back and forth between the three below. There are pluses and minuses to each.
So here are three that I keep going back to... Id love your opinions or experiences:
Sentry - great price http://www.costco.com/.product.841185.html
The Gunboax 2.0 - I chose the 2.0 over the Echo for the lid lift: https://www.thegunbox.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-gunbox-2-0
Titan - no electronics here: http://www.titangunsafe.com/2/60-TITAN_Gun_Safe_Pistol_Vault.html
