What bed-side quick access pistol safes do you all recommend? I have no experience with these things, but with a 2 year-old grandson, a 1 year-old granddaughter, and another little girl on the way, it's time to secure the firearms.
Thanks in advance for helping me protect the little ones.

The one I have that I love isn't made any more. Just bought a gun vault brand GV2000 as a present, and the recipient seems to like it. It has the code you can type in (battery powered) and a back up lock as well. Got it from lapolicegear.com for $119, but they are on back order now.

That fort knox has the lock style on it that I like, think they are called Simplex locks. The company I bought my original safe from went out of business, but I do really like that type of lock.

With really small children, unless you live in an area with a lot of crime maybe keep them locked up good and tight. I think a 1911 with the grip safety- most kids don't know how to fire that type.

It was expensive, but I bought the "Gun Box". I have two boys, I keep my XDM in it on my nightstand. It comes with a bracelet with an RFID chip that opens the door with a wave over the sensor. It also uses fingerprints to open. It plugs in but you can take it with you for a couple of days in the truck and it runs well on battery.

Yeah, don't listen to me. I'm just an idiot.
Lol. Duckbill that was funny! The dude up top has already taken lots of bone before this deer, both mule and whitetail.
