Reddit reviews Barska AX11652 Quick Access Biometric Rifle Safe, Small, Multicolor

Your home defense gun should not be kitchen, it should be in the bedroom. Not all your guns in the bed room, just the one you will be using for Home defense.

With a handgun you can try a simple desk drawer like this

For a long gun you can try one of these and keep the keys nearby, I wouldn't really trust the biometric part.

Amazon has a bunch!

Really Small

17" Wide

Can anyone recommend a cheap firearm locker that doesn't have egregious QC problems, give you problems getting your carbine out to shoot an intruder, or can be pried open with a simple crobar?

I'm thinking about BARSKA Quick Access Biometric Rifle Safe, but its really bugging me paying $300 for something that doesn't shoot. Small size is oddly desirable, in my circumstances. Any ragingly positive reviews on STACK-ON products?

I just recently bought a KRISS Vector GEN II CRB a couple of days ago as my new primary home defense weapon. I'm still waiting for it to be delivered to my FFL. I wrote a detailed comment justifying my decision to go with a 9mm carbine that you can read here if you're interested. TL;DR version: Not enough people are considering how insanely loud their self-defense firearms are.

As to which accessories I plan to add to it once I get my hands on it, first and foremost, an INFORCE WMLx. I also have an Aimpoint Micro T-2, a 33-round Glock magazine, and some 147-grain 9mm Federal HST rounds (standard pressure) waiting for it. That's it. A weapon light is really all that you need on a home defense weapon in my opinion. I honestly don't think that red dot sights are really needed for home defense; I just have one because I'm a gun nut that likes to buy gadgets.

As to safes, I bought a few of these cheap biometric safes from Barska and hid them in closets throughout my house. I didn't really plan to store firearms throughout my house in order to deal with a home invasion; but it became a convenient way to justify my gun collection. I've been considering upgrading to safes that are disguised as furniture, but I'm probably going to wait until I move before I do that. Right now the cheap Barska safes are working fine for me.

I'm getting this as soon as I have kids.


I'm messing with you. Bud of mine with little ones has one of these - Barska Quick-Access Biometric Rifle Safe (Amazon link). I don't know how fast I could wake-up and access the rifle, but it's an option.

Gun safe's are pretty darn cheap for basic models. Walmart has a 10-rifle safe for $99. It might not stand up to part (d) of the definition, but it's there. Amazon has a biometric rifle safe for $215 (and 2-day shipping) that gets decent reviews. These options aren't perfect, but they're a far sight better than keeping it in a travel bag in the closet, and don't add much burden.

There are lots of ways.. safe with a pin code, Biometric safe, or even something like this.

I like mechanical, too. But took a chance and picked up the Barska Quick Access biometric a year ago and put in the upstairs closet. It's really just a biometric "safety cabinet" mounted to studs, but overall I'm satisfied with the purchase. I do recommend scanning multiple fingers, in case something causes interference with the scan (e.g. callus). It's been overall dependable and perhaps worth checking out, anyway.

But a prepared burglar w/ the right tools could open or walk out w/ it, given few minutes to spare.

Didn't mean too.

This is what I was trying to post.

LEO, with SWAT gear:

Bolt a vault or safe through the floor for firearms. There are some small gun safes that have a tiny footprint. Our local farm supply has some band name vaults at reasonable prices... similar to one of these.

Duffels and gear bags, we stage them at the back barn doors and run a ratchet strap through the handles, so they don’t slide upon sharp braking.

So here's why that argument is silly. First of all, its an AR15, not an M4. Second of all, and most importantly, an AR15 can fill multiple different roles.

Let's say I hunt small game rabbits, snakes, foxes, and dangerous animals for livestock like coyotes, and wolves, and I also hunt larger game like deer or elk.

I could buy a varmint gun that only fires .22LR, another intermediate gun that fires .223 for the wolves and coyotes, and another larger rifle that fires an elk caliber like 30-06.

So that would come out to:

• Ruger 10/22 - 200$
  
• Savage Axis .223 - 313$
  
• Savage Axis 30-06 - 392$
  
  and since I'm a responsible gun owner, I now need a gun safe for 3 rifles so lets go with
  
  
• This safe - 245$
  
  So that comes out to 1150$, and I now need to take care of, clean, and potentially repair 3 different rifles. Well how about an AR15 instead?
  
  
• AR15 lower - 270$
  
• .22LR AR15 upper - 325$
  
• .223 AR15 upper - 375$
  
• 6.8 Remington SPC AR15 upper (also elk caliber) - lets take my friend's final price, 450$
  
  And we need to store these again, but a lower and 3 uppers takes up less space than 3 rifles so lets get this pelican case
  
  
• Case - 139$ and a 10$ lock.
  
  So that comes out to 1419$, but I only need to know how to take care of, clean and repair 1 type of rifle, an AR15. So I've traded a slight increase in cost for greater convenience.
  
  

Yeah I love the ruger 10/22.

Oh....safes.

Yeah, Barska makes a rifle model as well.

Biometric locker super cheap $167,. I have this one for keeping guns away from the kids, there's an optional shelf you can add on also for a 2nd shelf for more ammo /pistol. Not fire proof or power tool/crow bar resistant

Finger print safe $250 easy to mount to a wall and easy to patch after you move. Won't stop someone with a crowbar.

Would this work:
