Buy recommendations Princess Auto safe

Post image

While I was at princess auto recently I couldn't help but notice the crazy price on their 20 gun safe. Ive been looking at safes recently not only for my guns but for personal documents and stuff. Wondering if its a good buy or if the typical princess auto quality is something I should be worried about.

Just want to clarify that at least in my experience of 3 safes that none of the "fire rated" safes are worth fucking anything. It's a 30m fire rating and if your house goes it will burn far longer than that. Source: lost not less than 10 firearms in 3 safes in a house fire.

I just use a cabinet now. Save money and your back installing the thing.

For me its more about security than fireprotection. I recently had a break in and luckily none of my guns or documents were stolen. My neighbors weren't so lucky.

Fair enough! No such problems for me fortunately.
