I was in the market for a good keypad/biometric safe that I could easily store a firearm, a magazine, and travel with it. This fit the bill very well. As with many safes of this style/construction, if someone steals it, they won't have a bunch of difficulty eventually getting into it. But I believe this safe is low-key enough to fly under the radar of would-be thieves, and more importantly, it keeps it secure out the hands of children.
Pros:
– Great size, enough for a compact or full size pistol. Fitting two pistols could be done depending on overall size, but I think this safe is best for one.
– Fingerprint reader works fairly well and is very easy to program.
– Keypad allows 4-6 digits, also very easy to program.
– The added security cable adds a bit more deterrence.
– They key cylinder is definitely pick-able, but the cylinder is of a design a bit more secure than your run of the mill Masterlock.
Cons:
– The fingerprint reader works fairly reliably. I strongly suggest tapping different positioning of your finger to ensure it can read it from slightly askew angles.
– The internal strap is a great idea, but if it unhooks from the bars holding it on, you're gonna have to take out the foam to fit it back through.
– The key entry is very obvious on the front. Some attempt to conceal it with plug would be a great idea.
Overall, this was at a very affordable price considering the features. I'm happy with the purchase!
