Gun safe?

[mando-gunner-89]

Not sure if this is the right thread for this question but where are the best places to buy a nice gun safe in the Terre Haute area, I know top guns has them but they are a lot bigger than I need. I just need a 20 gun safe that works well. I had one that I bought at menards a few years ago and the lock stopped working on it so I want a new one that I won't have to worry about. Any recommendations are welcome when it comes to brand, not sure on my budget yet, but sometime soon I would like to get one.

You need a bigger safe than you think because it gives reason to fill it up proper like.

Yes, get a bigger safe than you think you need. That is the best advice for buying a safe.

Off topic, how did you get in the safe after the lock stopped working? Did you have to sacrifice the safe?

I ordered a Steelwater safe (22-gun, heavy duty, $1,395) on Amazon. Free shipping. They delivered it to my garage.

The door just wouldn't lock, so it opened freely without having to use the code.

I don't think they would mind delivering to Terre Haute.

In my humble opinion, a 20 gun would not be big enough, I bought a 80 gun, and it was full the day it was delivered, always buy bigger than what you need, because you never know when colt, smith, Taurus, or any other company will release the 21st gun you want to put in the safe! Just my thoughts

21st? In a 20-gun safe? I think you mean 11th or 12th gun...

Most safes are over rated for the number they say they will hold unless all your guns are 1 1/2" wide.........

I got a winchester 24 gun safe 4-5 years ago one sale at Tractor Supply. Delivery was me and a buddy in my truck, but has done well for me so far.

Erney Safe & Lock at 7th & Hulman, they have S&G locks and could possibly help with your lock. They are also American Security safe dealer. Rural King at 3235 Wabash Ave

+1 for tractor supply

You should ask what brand and where to buy as some look good but can be opened in just minutes. Some are light enough even loaded with 20 guns that they can be removed from your house with a hand truck. I have a Browning made in the 60's that the weight and thickness of the steel used is almost double what is used today and I can change the combination with out a lock smith.

You may have some around and not know it. I pulled up a Liberty Safe sale ad once and got a list of local sales, never heard of some of the places.

 

[femurphy77]

Love my Liberty! Gun safes will only hold half their rated capacity unless you don't care about handling marks.

I think they develop gun count using official Red Ryders....
