VERPROOF Gun Safe Quick Access Handgun Firearm Safes for Pistols Drop Down Single Gun Safety for Nightstand Wall Mount Bedside Desk Vehicle Bed Personal Safe with Keypad Lock and Key Lock

this side/desk mount gun box is a bargain at the price. It works consistently without fail and opens in a split second, which is what you want when your life might depend on it. The USB-C for daily power or emergency power is brilliant. this thing is worth two or three times the price. Highly recommend

Update 2: CHECK BATTERY. I owe this product and company an apology. The safe has a safety feature that will not allow you to set the code if the 9V battery you are using is not super strong. I had a new battery I had used on first one- it allowed me to set the code and blinked all the right lights--- but then gave me a red blink when i entered the code I had set. The 2nd safe had the EXACT same issue. I emailed the company and they said that the blinking code meant the battery was not new. I was super skeptical (as it was a new battery) but I got another new 9V and the 2nd safe worked perfect. So did the first. Apparently the safe will not allow you to set a code unless the battery is in super good health. This is a safety feature to make sure you can access your firearm in an emergency without having to find the key. If you are having this problem (and I know several are) get another new 9V and try it again. Old UPDATE: I had them ship a replacement- exact same issue. They are shipping faulty products. The pin pad does not work and it will not remember a set pin. Really dangerous. Original: I am having exact same issue as multiple others reported. Set the code. It verifies it is set correctly, then doesn’t recognize the code. Not sure if the whole lot is faulty, or they just keep reselling the ones sent back. But super easy to check for this issue prior to shipping, therefore, I dont trust this safe or company. Beware. Sent back and will try different manufacturer.

Very well built, easy to follow instructions, like the ability to install numerous ways. Will be ordering another soon Makes us feel safe the great grand kids cannot get to our guns.

As a professional that uses a firearm daily, I found this to be a decent little handgun safe considering the price. I have used handgun safes for decades, and needed a new little one next to the bed, after my "higher end" one I had before gave me issues. After lot's of research, I decided to give this one a try. Be aware, most handgun safes (if not all) like this are primarily to keep the firearm out of the hands of children and keep unauthorized persons from accessing it quickly and easily. With a little bit of time and know how, every one of these, including most of the higher priced ones, can be broken into quite easily if someone wants to bad enough. In reading reviews I saw that the keypad and biometric fingerprint reader had a mix of good and bad reviews. The unit that I received works quite well, and I have had no problem with either the keypad or the biometric fingerprint reader. I did however scan my primary fingers numerous times, once fully centered, and again more of a side press for each side of my finger, just in case I did not get it perfectly square on the reader the first time. I even put some chalk dust on my fingers to see how it worked and tried it with wet fingers as well, and it still opened for me. Unlike several other low priced units, this only opens to scanned fingerprints, and after having all my family try to open it with unscanned fingerprints multiple times, not a one could get it open. That's an important requirement, considering some other brands in this price range seem to open at the touch of any fingerprints, even those that were not scanned and saved. I will tell you that the release latch is very LOUD, when it opens the handgun safe. Loud enough, that I don't know why they put a keypad silence option on the unit, as the release is louder than the keypad beeps. If you don't want to give your position away with noise, this is not the handgun safe for you! However I have also found, over the years, that ALL brands make some noise. For me this is not a major problem, as I have taken steps to harden entry points to my home, to give me notice and time to be prepared if someone did try to enter. For a full size handgun, it fits well in the unit and is easy to grasp. However of you are going to put a smaller concealed carry handgun in the unit, you better have really tiny hands in order to be able to grasp it. My hands are not overly large, and with my small P365 handgun, I could not easily get a good grip on the handgun when drawing it from the unit. With my H&K VP9, I can readily get an immediate and secure grip on the handgun as soon as the unit opens. The unit is one of the smaller units of its kind, making it easy to attach almost anywhere. The drawback to that is that other than the gun, not much else will fit in the safe. I like to keep a quality tactical flashlight and a spare magazine with all my home defense handguns, and this safe just won't allow it, due to it's small size. Luckily I have always kept a high quality tactical flashlight on the nightstand that this safe is attached to. Many people that have reviewed this safe stated that it is flimsy, loose fitted and clunky in design. I honestly found it very similar to numerous others I have tested and tried over the years. For the price, it's not that bad. Come on people, do you expect all the parts to be hand fitted? The only other thing I wish they had done, is to have used a little bit denser foam for holding the gun, and possibly a pluck and pull option to customize it to your firearm, with replacement foam sold separately, so you can customize for different firearms that you might want to place in the safe. I would have given this handgun safe only three stars, however based on the price, the options and comparing it to others on the market, it's not a terrible unit for what you are paying for. If you want something better, you are going to be trippeling this price, and even many of those have some of the same or similar issues as well.

REVIEW EDIT: At less than 3 months old the electronics stopped working. Got to be related to the change in battery from a single 9v to 4 AA batteries. The 4AA batteries fit into a holder that you have to slide up and into the unit. I tried changing the batteries, repositioning the battery holder. Nothing, it's dead. Going to try and find the OLD version of this that uses a 9V battery. Very disappointed. This exact safe has been marketed/sold under many different brands for the past 10 years and that's a good thing. I had another "brand" of this exact model and after 9 years it started hesitating when trying to open it. Not what you want for this type of safe! Got 9 years out of the old one and that's a good run in anyone's book. So, I bought this one hoping it would match up with the old one's mounting bracket and it did. Perfect fit. As others have stated, the mounting hardware it comes with is junk. For mounting to a nightstand, through-bolt the large side of the bracket to the nightstand AND drive four screws through the top part of the bracket into the underside of the nightstand top. Just make sure to use short screws. That's not going anywhere. Also, if you have large hands they will not fit through the opening to secure the safe to the bracket unless you remove the bumper-spring thing (or wait to mount it) at the bottom where the door opens. The number combo version is full proof, unlike fiddly thumbprint readers. I like that you can shut the keypad beeps off. That's really good b/c this thing beeps LOUDLY. It's louder than your microwave when it finishes cooking. Not what you want when trying to quietly access your firearm. With the beeping turned off and fast hand to keep the door from slamming open, you can open this safe almost silently. It's made well, it's reliable and the mounting bracket system is stout, assuming you stoutly mount the bracket. Highly recommended.

I bought several models that had features I liked but I sent all the other gun safes back. This is the one I kept. Pros: - This thing responds so fast! - It has a fingerprint reader so even when I'm groggy it works - and FAST! - It has an LED light. - It is skinny and fits just about anywhere. - It uses a 9 volt battery so it will last a long time and won't corrode as much as AAA batteries. - It has a battery life indicator. - In addition to the fingerprint reader it also has a buttons you can program as well as a key. - It has a mute capability for pressing the buttons or using the fingerprint scanner. - It is very reliable - just record your fingers many times. - It stores LOTS of fingerprints! Cons: - Are there any cons with this safe? Well, there are a few but they all were quickly overcome with fairly simple modifications. - The bracket it comes with is flimsy, it adds some thickness to the installation, and it has this strange piece that sticks out on top. But I used the drill press to drill some new holes through both sides of the frame and I direct-mounted it to the back of my nightstand without the bracket. Slick huh? Nobody will ever see it there and it is so skinny without the bracket. Now it's super sturdy too! - At first it didn't recognize my fingerprint consistently and I realized I was putting my finger on slightly different sometimes. Solution - just record my fingerprint (and my wife's fingerprint) as many times as I want to from lots of different angles. This thing holds something like 140 fingerprints! - Even though it has a mute feature it still makes a distinct noise when opening - but all the other models made that same noise too. Only one model was quieter but it used AAA batteries, didn't have an LED light, and only stored 15 fingerprints. - Older versions of this gunsafe had an issue where new fingerprints could be added even though it was still closed so don't buy a used one unless you are okay with that glitch. That isn't a huge deal in most cases since this type of gun safe is intended to be hidden away to begin with. Now my wife has approved another one of these safes to go in a closet near the front door and I am going to buy the same model! That is no small statement - she had never used a gun before we got married and she was initially very unsupportive of any guns being stored outside of the big expensive gun safe. But that big gun safe is for keeping guns that I can get to when I have time to go get them and load them. This one is for keeping a handgun locked and loaded - ready for action in an emergency! Insert a full magazine, rack one bullet into the chamber then eject the magazine and push in a bullet to replace the one that's in the chamber, then re-insert that magazine and store the handgun in this awesome little safe ready to use at a moment's notice!

UPDATE 7/18/2023 Based on my review, the manufacturer reached out. I changed the batteries, and the problem is resolved. The batteries that come with the safe are garbage, I recommend replacing them on day 1. I have not had to replace the batteries since. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Either sell with good batteries or NO batteries. 2. Update instructions with troubleshooting instructions. 3. In the interim, provide troubleshooting guidance online. I would buy again, there has been no issues. ---------------------------------------- 11/01/2022 - Installed easy enough. Setup was easy. I used the electronic keypad every day to make sure it worked, but about 45 days into purchase, the safe fails to open with keypad. I get the click that it wants to open, a flashing red light and a single beep; however, the safe did not open. It opens with the key. I verified the correct code was entered using the tamper detection steps. I tried many times, same result. There is NO troubleshooting instructions. The is NO manhufacturer contact infomration. There is NO help. That should be a HUGE red flag, there is NO one to call, email, or chat with. I top ot the above, it only had a 30 day return window, so now I am stuck with a $75 paper weight!

I’ve been very happy with this handgun safe and, even more so, with the company behind it. My original unit eventually had an issue, and when I contacted customer support, they were responsive, professional, and resolved the problem quickly. They replaced the safe free of charge, no hassle at all. The replacement works perfectly and feels solid, secure, and well-made. It’s clear this company stands behind its product and genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. That kind of service is rare these days. Great product, great company. I would absolutely recommend this safe and would purchase from them again.
