The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).

Sentry "HD Center"

Post by blackeagle603 »

Interesting but a bit pricey for holding one pistol and one long gun ($399). link

It would benefit from some concealment. Maybe wood veneer and molding to make it look like a decorative column with plant or clock on top?

I have never understood the idea of a locked container for ready access guns. Biometric (palm reading lock) opening, maybe but the price on the lock alone...

I know some folks that unlock their box/safe when they are in the house and lock it when leaving or have untrained/uncleared company over.

Me, I just have my carry piece on/with me at home and secure it in a lock box when I can't take it where I'm going

That would be me. We have a lot of people in and out of our house. Often large groups (20-30) with rugrats around. I seldom carry at those times.

What would be nice is if somebody made a wall insert designed to look like a painting as a door, so you could put a coupla handguns in it. add a coupla push buttons on the inside bottom edge as a lock system(sorta like those buttons on institutional doors) and you'd have a winner.

I think it might be useful as a the "secure" part inside of some kind of decor element.
