I understand where you're coming from because trigger locks are trash, but I'm talking about actually securing your shit with a pistol safe for quick access and a gun safe for everything else. Sure nothing is 100%, but keep the combo to yourself and that barrier will be enough to keep your kids out, and bolt it down and it will prevent theft from burglars.
There are quick access single pistol safes... biometric is the high end... the 4 finger combo is cheaper.
I'll try and find some links.

Like what? I doubt you can produce any effective method that is any quicker to operate than this:

The Sentry QAP1E might fit the bill depending on the size of the handgun you are wanting to secure. http://www.sentrysafe.com/Products/496/QAP1E_Digital_Pistol_Safe_
It has a backlit digital lock, barrel lock backup and includes hardware for mounting to a floor or shelf though you may need something self tapping to go through your cars floor. Its pretty well rated on Amazon.

Just because you live in constant paranoia doesn't excuse you being irresponsible with your gun. In fact, it probably makes it worse.
Edit:. If you keep your gun on you, it's not going to get stolen. If you need it close when you're sleeping, you should probably still keep it in a safe. Here's a recommendation. https://www.amazon.com/SentrySafe-Pistol-Digital-Capacity-QAP1E/dp/B00A75EVJO
This worries me specifically because if you leave your keys somewhere, now your kids have access. The same thing worries me about the bracelet safe too. I personally use a Sentry quick access safe that uses fingerprints, a code and a key. The key goes in my big gun safe in case batteries die. With this method, there is ZERO chance my firearms can be accessed without my permission.

> I think what you'd have to look at with that is how many stolen weapons where used in homicides?
We typically trust Government numbers on issues such as this, as they are seen a neutral for both the left and the right (FBI and Labor statistics come to mind). Unfortunately, the Federal Government has 0 dollars to research gun violence statistics in the US, so we will never know the actual numbers. If you go with the numbers used in this politifact article (gathered by John Hopkins using self-reporting inmates):
Those are some pretty high numbers, all things considered, which makes sense in many ways. How likely is it that a person that's robbing a convenience store for $146.32 took the time to go through a background check and buy the $250.00 9mm legally?
> Me having my handgun locked in a safe is either very expensive for a quick access safe
This devolves the argument into "responsible gun ownership is too expensive/inconvenient.", which is the basis of a lot of anti-regulatory arguments. A good quick access safe costs $100 for a handgun. You can get a cabinet quick access safe for $250.00 if you need to store rifles. A person has the right to own a gun to protect themselves, but other individuals have the right not to get shot by stolen weapons because the owner couldn't be bothered to get a safe.
> or greatly reduces the availability should I need to use it
The costs of a quick access safe is not prohibitively expensive, as stated above.
I use this for when my pistol isn't on me.

Get a quick-open safe on top of your nightstand if you can't sleep without your piece. In a drawer vs in a safe isn't going to slow you down.
Uhm, OK.
