So I got my first ever gun. SIG Sauer P320 M17 which I just posted here and I remember from the RPAL courses that you need to get a trigger lock but a gun safe is not mandatory. Is getting a gun safe highly recommended? I think an additional lock for the case is enough. I just don't have enough space to keep a safe in my house.

It doesn't mention that the safe has to be a specific size. If its marketed as a safe its a safe. Essentially made of metal with a built in lock.
