Overview
A biometric pistol safe built to UL1037 standards, holding up to two handguns plus ammunition, opened by fingerprint, a backlit keypad or a backup key, with a gas strut for quiet one-handed opening.
Three separate unlock paths, fingerprint, keypad and physical key, are the real pitch here: if the fingerprint sensor misreads a hand in the middle of the night, the backlit keypad or the key is still there. It ships with no fingerprints pre-registered, so the first open has to be done with the backup key before the sensor can be set up.
- UL1037 rated biometric pistol safe
- Fingerprint, keypad and key access
- Gas strut, one-handed quiet opening
- Built-in LED interior lighting
Who it's for
Buyers who want fast nightstand or bedside access to a stored handgun without giving up a mechanical backup. Not built as a large capacity safe, since it's sized for around two pistols and spare ammunition.
Pros and cons
- Three unlock modes: fingerprint, keypad, backup key
- Gas strut opens the door one-handed
- Built-in LED lights the interior
- UL1037 rated, pry-resistant door
- No fingerprint pre-registered, first open needs the backup key
- Sized for about two pistols, not a larger collection
Performance notes
The gas strut makes one-handed opening practical in the dark, popping the door open without needing a second hand to pull it, and the built-in LED lights the interior at the same moment. Reinforced solid steel and a pry-resistant door handle the physical security side, built to UL1037. Because no fingerprint ships pre-registered, the first setup step is always the backup key, which is worth knowing before it's needed in an emergency.
