Florida Shooters Network

Just started looking into these an I know the prices can go through the roof depending on how high end you go.

As I do not have a huge arsenal, I only plan to have about 4 long guns, and maybe up to 10 hand guns. Would like a shelf and a drawer or two for jewelry and important docs. Ideally, would like to have it fit in a bedroom closet, so height is a concern (probably under 6ft).

Can anyone recommend a few names/models to check out?

Appreciate any help as I literally just starting looking into these today.

Thanks but not looking for safe sellers, looking for safe makes/models that fellow members may have recommendations on based on their experience.

As you stated there are so many variables, that being said my first safe was a 5 foot tall by 20 something by 20 something inches closet sized 325 (?) pound Liberty safe without any fire proofing.
Bolted to the concrete slab.
Kept my young kid from accessing my weapons.
I have no recollection as to the exact model name/number https://www.libertysafe.com/.
Around 12 yrs ago I moved up to a larger, heavier, fire resistant Sturdy Safe, it isn't pretty, no fancy interior carpeting or string lights, back when I bought they all had a more of a 1950's Russian industrial chic look, it appears they are upping their game to appeal to a broader market.

Thanks, Jeeps - I did come across Liberty in my initial search.
That said, my main priority is keeping them safe from access from the kids/grand kids/guests.

Liberty makes great stuff at decent prices. My comment is about size. Find a safe that will hold everything you have plus everything you can imagine owning.... then find a model twice its size. They tend to shrink when you get them home. Buy once, cry once.

Thanks - excellent advice

To add to Georges comment which is correct btw as they really do seem to shrink when in actual use, try to skip past the electronic keypads and get one with a dial instead to open.

I bought a Sturdy Safe years ago and it has been great. Sorta no frills, but thick metal and tight tolerances. Always buy bigger than what you need, as the advertised capacity is always more than what really fits, especially if you have rifles with accessories.

Buying a safe is like buying a tool box. You want to buy one that you will grow into, not grow out of.
