VERPROOFGun 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

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!

I've had this safe mounted beside my bed for about one year, and I have had no issues with it. I've accessed the weapon several times just to test its function, and it has never failed to open. Setting or changing your entry code is very simple. I couldn't be more pleased.

I’ve had this safe for 2 years now and have had no issues. However, I recently lost the keys and contacted the manufacturer and asked about a replacement set. They sent me a pair a new ones at no cost! Super happy and relieved about that. Definitely would recommend this product!

This will do the job of keeping the little loved ones from getting access to your gun. However, I've noticed that occasionally (1 out of ~20 attempts) the finger scan doesn't recognize my fingerprint and will start flashing red, prohibiting me from trying again or entering the backup button sequence as well... so I have to wait for it to reset before trying my fingerprint again. This would be a huge concern in an emergency situation... but not a big concern for me because I use this one to store my EDC G43X. I have a different lock box in the bedroom for my home defense G17 that never fails me getting access.

The media could not be loaded. 2 in a row and won’t open without key. Bought my first one and it worked great for about 2 weeks. Couldn’t be happier, I’d do a test every now and then to make sure it could be accessed quickly and it would open great. Loved the light inside. Randomly went to it a couple days later and it would unlock but not open. Both with fingerprint and key code. Frustrated I had them send me another one. I tested it and set a code, worked great one time. Programmed my fingerprints and now it won’t open. It registers the finger, clicks like it unlocks but never actually unlocks. Company was great and sent the second one quickly but at this rate both will be returned and I’ll get a different unit. I can’t have this be unreliable when it’s needed most.

Got this for my husband since I don’t like seeing guns in the bedroom, but at the same time I like feeling safe. Works great, just make sure you record your fingerprint in different positions just to make sure it reads it at any time. I’m really happy with it :)

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.
