The Gun Thread

[robertcrav]

Anyone have any recommendations on places with good prices on gun safes?
Any recommendations on 10+ gun safes? Hoping to pay 450-650.
Was looking at this one ( http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/w ... n-capacity )then then I read some comments about "getting better for the money" blah blah typical internet talk. If anyone knows of a better deal please post up.

The stack on 8 gun "safe" we have is cramped and it will be time to upgrade in the near future to something that can fit the pistols and ammo

Keep an eye on Craigslist...

Costco. I think they had a 27 gun safe for 800ish and a 14 or 17 long gun for 600ish. The big boy they have is beautiful.

Might be worth a look at Liberty safes in Sacramento. They may have scratch n dent or closeout deals. I don't have any experience with them just one place I have seen local.

Never been to Costco. Its one of those places you have to be a member to go to right?

Have been. Surprised at the lack of safes.

Roberts right they don't have much for choice but the prices are decent for what you get.

Could also post a wanted ad ON calguns lots of guys upgrading to bigger...

Hey Robert I totally agree with you. The main reason I suggested Costco is cause I saw a safe there last time that was 4.5'x5' for 900$ and some change it held 15 pistols on the door and 36 or 42 long guns I believe. It was remmington brand I think and man o man it was hard to resist for the price. But ya your right cl is a good bet or local gun shops sell em on consignment on occasion. At an absolute worst case just get a century, bott kennedy, or stack on brand lock box. It's just a heavy guage steel box but I'd recommend that over nothing at all to anyone who has no way of securing their stuff. Got to keep the big boy toys away from kids.

Browsing Calguns right now actually. For some reason I thought more people would selling safes on CL/Calguns.

Costco ones seem nice, most just seem a little too out of the price range. As much as I would like one that would be massive, hard to break into and handle fire protection well, my mine needs lie with keeping all my gun materials in one place (locked up) rather than throughout my room. Just trying to find the best deal for the budget.

[TrevorPiggott]

Thanks to those giving recommendations/comments by the way

[Rmc]

If I ever upgrade my current safe ill post it up. Good luck with the search.

[robertcrav]

I'll keep an eye out as well... not sure if Turners is up in your neck of the woods, but join their mailing list as well as Big 5... they occasionally go on sale. Also...if you can hold out I know the bigger holiday sales help prices too

All of the safes offered by the discount chains are junk. They are designed to keep guns away from kids. They do not offer real protection for thieves or fire.

I suggest that you contact a real safe store such as this: http://www.westcoastsafes.com

If you are looking for a cheap way to lock/hide your guns get an old soda machine and convert the inside. It seals air 100% and they are super cheap when they don't work. It's also less obvious than an actual safe.

I would suggest Sun Welding for a safe. There in Simi Valley and have great customer service. My dad, brother and myself have one. You can normally get a great deal on them the last day of the Ventura Gun Show. http://www.sunweldingsafes.com/

I am thinking about a home self defense hand gun for my mom.

I am thinking that the Smith & Weston Governor Snub nose revolver that uses a
2.5" 410 shotgun shell would work great in the house. The cool thing is she does not have to be a great shot to hit an attacker. It also uses .45 cal in the same gun.

Is that still legal? I went to OC Armory inquiring about a Taurus Judge (same caliber/similar specs) they said it was taking almost a yr to process because they had to registered as any other weapons .

[robertcrav]

If you find out different I will pick one up too

I like the sound of that pistol. It's always cool when something shoots multiple rounds.
