The best pistol caliber for self defense is 9mm. It has the perfect mix of stopping power and magazine capacity, and is widely available.
The stack-on Tactical gun cabinet is the safest way to store your guns. Designed with the Usability and comfort of all gun enthusiasts, stack-on does not sacrifice cost for quality. This stack-on cabinet is approved by the California department of justice as meeting their standards for safely storing firearms.
This cabinet is a perfect add-on accessory to go on top of the Stack-On 18 Gun Beveled Edge cabinet. This ammo cabinet is a smooth black finish, whereas the 18 Gun Beveled Edge is a textured black, but that is of minimal concern.
The two shelves are fairly robust plastic with webbed reinforcements underneath, but they can become overwhelmed with several boxes of bulk ammo on them. For example, I had ~350 rounds of 9mm, 200 rounds of.
40 S&W, and 100 rounds of. 45 ACP on a shelf and it had a noticeable sway to it. Nothing I was concerned with, but noticeable nonetheless. My main gripe of the product is that the door felt. “off”. Upon investigation, I saw that the door hinge was attached to the cabinet body by rivets.
The top rivet wasn’t even installed, and the other two weren’t completely tight. This allowed the door so shift slightly and sag. I remedied this by drilling out the two rivets and replacing them with some #10-32 x 1/2″ machine screws and secured them using hex nuts with external tooth lock washers (star washers integrated into the hex nut).
Door no longer sags or is loose, but it also appears the spot welds in the corners of the cabinet body by the hinge mounting point were not fully ground down and the door interferes with the spot welds when almost closed.
This causes extra resistance to fully close the door and has already removed the finish from the inside of the door. Overall, small gripes, especially given the price point of this product. I would buy this again in a heartbeat and recommend it to others, it would just be nice if there was a little more quality control by Stack-On.
Works fine. Shelves need to be put in in order, or you can’t get the second one in. I left the second one out. Don’t need it. Holds all my ammo just fine. Bolts to the wall/floor/Stack On gun cabinet.
Holds PLENTY of ammo, and if you need more room for your ammo, buy another. It’s inexpensive enough. Mine is bolted to the wall, on top of my gun cabinet. Plenty of room still in it after I loaded it up with my ammo.
Of course, if you strictly have 12g shells, then 2 cases is going to fill up the cabinet. hahahaha My cabinet arrived without a scratch/dent. And I agree with other reviewer that there should be padding ALL around it, and not just the top and bottom when shipping.
I bought the cabinet online and had it shipped to the store. The box the cabinet came in was not damaged and upon opening the box the cabinet was intact. There was a minor chip of paint missing on one of the edges, that clearly was done at the factory.
Also the lock was loose. I was able to fix that, but something if buying you should take a close look at. Over all I’m happy with the cabinet.
Pre-Owned — The QAP2E Gun Safe with Digital Keypad protects your handguns from unwanted access and theft with reliable security features and advanced locking technology. The QAP2E offers storage for two standard handguns or one large pistol and ammunition.
This gun safe provides extra security for your handguns with strong solid steel construction, a pry resistant door and bolt-down hardware. This safe also offers quick and reliable access with a digital locking system that allows for single handed entry and a compression gas strut.
Well made; thoughtfully laid out and will last for years. It is nicely designed and can be placed just about anywhere without being obtrusive. My only suggestion is to number the fingertip key entry to allow for ease of number selection and sequencing.
Also suggest a stronger vault light for ease of viewing contents. Otherwise, it is a solid product that I would recommend to anyone to purchase.
The safe is plenty big enough for two handguns, and is easy to open quickly. The only thing I think could be done better is if the noise made by the lid opening could be dampened or quieted. Initial “wake-up” and key in of code does not make noise but when the lid opens it makes a metallic banging sound.
Using this as a bedside gun safe. It is very secure, opens quickly after security code is entered. Accommodates 2 pistols and extra mags. Very heavy steel enclosure. Nice low watt blue light. Quiet operation.
Cold Steel’s Training Firearms are perfect for use by Military & Law Enforcement personnel” Personal Protection and Security Professionals and civilian Martial Artists. Made from ultra-durable thermoplastic rubber” they are stiff enough to train drawing techniques from the holster and disarming techniques in close quarter training” but just soft enough to use in hand-to-hand striking situations with relative safety.
Strong enough to survive hours of training” but inexpensive enough to outfit even an entire gym of students without breaking the bank” these practical and tactical training aids are based on some of the most popular firearms in America today – but their bright coloration makes it unlikely that they would be ever mistaken for a real handgun!.

Holds Virtually Any Firearm! – Glock, Ruger, Sig Saur, Smith & Wesson M&p, Cz-usa, Springfield And Also Hold Extra Magazines! Rubber Coated – Prevents Magnet From Scratching Your Gun Or Magazine.
Product Size: Size: 3. 8′ Wide X 1. 4′ Tall X. 38′ Thick Simple Installation – 4 Mounting Screws Included And A Slim 3/8” Thickness Means You Can Mount It In The Car, Home, Office, Bed, Closet, Wherever You Need!.
The bracket is sturdy. Note the back plate is only 1/4” The top plate is 1/2”. The back holes are drilled to permit screws into the center of any 2x material or greater, however the top hole screws will clear the top of any 2 x stud supporting the top plate.
If your brackets are mortised into your top plate as shown on the manufacturers product page then the #12 2. 5” screws included will go right though your top plate and stick out on either side of your stud.
Unfortunately the shanked threads purchase less than an inch of the top plate. Not a particularly robust arrangement…use 4x studs or 4 x top plate, offset your studs or/and use unshanked screws. The screws included by the way are poor quality, if you use them be careful to predrill and not to overtighten.
Serves my purpose by providing the necessary strength/support that I was seeking. Would have given it 5 stars but the finish was imperfect. Had to spent time fixing that because in my application there is a non-obvious ability to see the bracket.
Ironworks did (to their credit) provide a partial credit for the damage after I provided photos.
The Stack-On Pistol/Ammo Security Cabinet can be added to any Stack-On Security Cabinet for extra storage. Keep things organized in your safe. This steel secure cabinet is fully lockable and foam padded to keep your equipment safe.

Very sturdy, good locking system, packaged very well to avoid damage – arrived perfect condition. Free shipping and two-day delivery – Good Job, Walmart! This unit attaches easily to 10 gun base cabinet, via two large screws (supplied).
Be careful of loose “bits” – there are two black plugs to fill the holes on top if you are not stacking more cabinets. They get lost easily. Unit has a heavy-duty steel shelf that is very strong and secure.
Larger ammo cabinets from Stack-On have plastic shelves that bow when loaded – this one is rock-solid. Stack-on should take note of this and supply (or offer as extra cost) steel shelves like this for their larger cabinets.
Locking system is quite secure – one blade locks door to slot in cabinet. Key is the real deal – not some suitcase lock toy. Key is not reversible – which makes it even more secure. A pro with a crowbar could probably get in this cabinet with some time, but it makes ammo and pistols secure from juveniles and inquisitive kids.
No one is breaking into this without some significant tools. All in all it fits perfectly on top of the 10 gun cabinet and adds important secure storage certified by the state of California for gun/ammo lock-up.
Made with thick 10 gauge solid steel and a massive 3/16″ solid steel wrap around door, the Stealth Tactical Handgun Safe’s security is equivalent to most full size gun safes and substantially stronger than any other handgun safe available.
In comparison to the competition, the Stealth Pistol Safe adds (2) 3/8″ Steel Lugs, a thicker chrome plated locking bolt and two solid steel deadbars. These features in conjunction with the welded, continuous hinge add a significant amount of additional pry resistance to the safe and make it very difficult to break in while the safe is bolted down.
On the top of the Stealth handgun safe, you”ll notice the easy to use, highly reliable Simplex Lock. With a potential of 1,081 unique combinations, it would take a burglar hours to try every combination.
For those who know of the “punch” method where a thief will take a chisel or hammer and literally “punch” in the lock common among similar handgun safes, Stealth added another security feature by encasing the lock in steel and creating a punch resistant housing.
As you open the heavy duty door, you”ll notice a helping hand in the gas piston assist that helps lift the lid and hold it in place. Once open, the protective, high density, pluck foam interior will allow you to fully customize to the exact fit and finish of your firearm and magazine.
With the four pre-drilled bolt down holes you can mount this safe to any car, nightstand, drawer or flat surface for that matter and even fit a master lock security cable through the mounting holes in the event you want to use its portable feature.
Speaking of portability, the Stealth Pistol Safe adds a chrome plated carrying handle that will allow easy and secure transportation of your firearm. From the safe to the range and everything in-between, Stealth Tactical provides efficient, secure weapon storage in an elegant finish.
Keep your valuables safe and protected with the Buffalo Electronic Personal Safe. Program the keypad with your own 3 to 8 digit combination, while 2 keys provide extra backup protection.

Reviews From Real Customers
excellent price on a good product. If a determined thief with a sledge hammer and large crow bar was given some time , they could break this safe apart. That being said , it will keep out children and the (mostly) honest.
keypad is programmable. battery operated. with a back-up key(s) entry. I wish , though that you could disable the “beep” sound which chimes after each touch to the keypad. probably not the best feature , if you were wanting to access the safe (pistol) during a home invasion event.
Roomy for a “small” safe. mounting holes on the back and bottom to bolt it down. Recommended.
Well, it is what it is, a safe place to to keep honest people honest. It is by no means a an unbreakable device. If you want to keep your valuables and weapons in a relative safe away from kids, then it is a pretty good deal.
The best part of the safe us the additional key lock. I have another pistol safe that only has the keypad and it served me well for many years but the electronics malfunctioned and noe I cannot open the safe without destroying it.
Be sure to bolt it down to something or a thief will just walk off with it and open it at his leisure.
I bought this a few weeks ago and I am happy with this safe. This is NOT a safe that will hold up in a fire or if someone takes a crowbar to it. It’s more of an inexpensive safeguard against kids accessing your firearms.
It is fairly large inside and holds a full size handgun and multiple magazines, or even two large pistols. You can program a code or use a key for easy access.
Lockdown Gun Concealment Magnet 222501 The Lockdown Gun Concealment Magnet can be mounted in a variety of locations to securely hold a handgun in place providing convenient low profile concealment. The powerful magnets easily support full size pistols and revolvers, and multiple magnets can be used to support rifles or shotguns.
Able to be mounted vertically, horizontally, hanging upside down, or at an angle. Mounting is made easy with the included wood screws, drywall screws, and anchors. A durable rubber coating on the magnet protects the finish on the gun.
They are available in a variety of tactical, hunting & traditional camouflage patterns. Designed to fit any semi-automatic pistol, even airsoft replicas. Pieces include the left and right sides and one additional piece for the slide or barrel.
Strong enough to support your weapon along with extra ammo, yet stylish enough for discreet every day wear. If you have ever carried a gun on a holster, you know that the average department store belt just doesn’t measure up.
The Ultimate Concealed Carry Leather Gun Belt won’t ever roll over, sag, split or stretch. The Ultimate Concealed Carry Leather Gun Belt is Handmade in the USA of one piece of Full Grain 14 oz. US Leather.
No plastic inserts or multiple piece lamination to worry about falling apart. If you want the cheapest then go ahead and buy the competition, but if you want the best buy The Ultimate!.
I looked for awhile and researched for a belt for owb compact carry. The nylon belts have a tendency to fray after a couple of months. I’ve tried the thick leather belt but felt it sagged a little bit.
The steel core had no sag it looks good, nice leather and is a comfortable wear. I have 3 of these belts one thick leather and 2 steel core. All three serve me well. I’ve used customer service for exchanges and that part of their company is awesome as well.
Overall, I’m very happy with Relentless and don’t see myself going anyplace else.
i have wasted a lot of money on belts- this thing covers the need. No issues holding a full duty belt, or every day. Customer service is prompt and on point if needed. I use suspenders with this belt when on duty- there is no cinching it down.
Actually there is about 1/2 inch slack around my waist. It holds the weight of the duty belt and the stress of the suspenders just fine. No sagging, no more gunslinger, no more constant pulling up the duty belt or worry if running or fighting will my pants be around my ankles.
They are expensive but then that is understandable as the magazine also houses the CO2 cartridges and the release mechanism. Worked great if you drop some pellgunoil on the CO2 cartridges before you insert.
The good thing about having multiple magazines is it allows them to warm up in between.
This Crosman Magazine is the EOM Magazine for the Crosman R1 Rifle. Tips are: put Crosman Silcone Lube on the CO2 end and this helps the Cartridge from leaking and per manual put the Left Cartridge in first and engage it.
I am glad there is Spare Magazines for this rifle.

USAMM exceeds my expectations. My father-in-law recently died. He was a veteran of the Korean War. We lost most of his military memorabilia in a house fire years ago. But we wanted to create a memory for his only son from his military records.
We were able to find the Arctic Warrior shoulder patch he proudly wore on this website that exactly matched the one he wore during his service in the In the Arctic. Along with rank Chevron’s and ribbons that he wore during his service.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis First Alert 5100K is just what I need for the car, when I encounter one of those “no firearms allowed” establishments where you still wish to enter but cannot bring your pistol.
The cylindrical key and lock are slow to engage and open this safe, so this is not designed for rapid retrieval of one’s handgun. There are other biometric safes designed for that purpose. This First Alert 5100K is also TSA approved for use in transporting your firearm in your checked luggage.
IšverstiShow in original languageProduct is secure. Foam inside is adaptable allowing user to customize as needed. For example, I was able cut thinner and make “wells” that accommodated a Springfield Mdl 2 sub-compact 45ACP pistol with an extended magazine AND 2 additional magazines (1 regular, 1 extended).
Very nice fit after these slight modifications. Outstanding product and great value.
IšverstiShow in original languageThe price of this item was more than reasonable. I like the sturdiness of the metal case. Knowing that I have the option of a code or a key is a special convenience. The quality, appearance, security and convenience of this item is impressive and comforting.
Thank you First Alert AND Walmart! I expected to pay three of four times more for a case this well-made!.
Ugears will surprise you. Let your stress out or discover your “dark side” with Wolf Handgun by Ugears – one of the most realistic model in our collection. It is made of real wood and without glue. Unite with your colleagues or friends and start the shooting battle.
It is absolutely safe! The Wolf Handgun shoots with stationery bands. It can make up to 5 shots per round and up to 10 meters of firing range. Use the safety lock to prevent unwanted firing. It is easy to assemble (around 1-2 hours) and you can equip your defence force with the real wood mechanical gun just during one evening.
Fine bit of fun! We enjoy shooting (rubber bands) at politicians on television. So much so, I bought a pair for my two adult children. A light sanding and waxing should ensure continued smooth action.
Slightly shorter rubber bands are more powerful (accurate), but are more prone to breakage. Remember that rubber bands are bad for cats.
first a clarification, “is it durable”, it’s a wood model kit, it won’t take your 10 yr old playing in the back yard with it, but the parts are well enough made to enable it to run. I found one of Ugears’s kits at work, a locomotive and absolutely LOVED it, this one too, the detail, the moving parts, all make it a kit unlike any model I’ve ever built in the past and I will be getting more of them in the future, and it looks VERY nice on a mantel or a book shelf for display, I think anyone who likes models, puzzles and making things that move will defiantly LOVE this and many of the other similar kits.
glue not needed – wood kit that is well built with great instructions. It took “57” man hours to complete but time well spent away from electronics. my son enjoyed the mechanical nature of the kit and took his time to accurately build.
I will be looking for other products from this vendor in the future to buy.
The Bulldog Cases Standard Digital Pistol Vault measures in at 7″ X 12″ X 10″ and features a 12 digit key pad. With 12 digits more than 1000 combinations can be created and this creates more secure combination options.
A secure hidden key override is provided as well. The vault is constructed of heavy-duty steel and features a durable powder coated black matte finish. The vault also has pre-drilled mounting holes and a soft bottom to protect the firearm.
When closed the vault is locked by two 3/4″ steel locking bolts. This vault comes with mounting hardware and a low voltage LED light Tamper Alarm for extra security.
I bought one and will be returning it. The 4 AA batteries were a very tight fit, so tight i had a hard time getting the compartment cover on. I opened to install the safe and the compartment door fell off.
The cover had broken. The interior is less then I expected the back of the safe door juts in roughly 1. 5 inches and the door is already recessed from the 8” exterior dimension.
Interior is smaller than expected but serves it purpose. Not purchased for a pistol, needed small safe for other small personal items. Had interior demention a been listed, would have gone with a bigger safe.
I bought this to hold one Firearm, but now it holds 3. I bolted it to a high shelf in Closet to keep grandkids away. Granted if a thief wanted it bad enough and had time and the right tool, they would get it, but I have had no issues with it over the past year and a half.
The book is a complete guide to understanding conflict avoidance & situational awareness; home security and home defense; handgun, shotgun and AR-15 basics; shooting fundamentals; the physiology of violent encounters; and the legal aspects of using deadly force, including knowing what to do in the aftermath.
It’s also a complete guide on gear, gadgets, and ongoing training. “–Back cover.
This handgun book is the one for everyone to read. I have been taking handgun training classes, six so far and this book covers it all. It covers everything you need to know in every situation that may arise.
The content is not actually compelling, but absolutely essential to anyone wanting to carry a gun and understand all there is to know about CC from gun and ammo choice to stance, grip, and post shooting event ramifications.
I have several similar books; this one is by far the BEST of the bunch, with great illustrations and easy to understand information.
Great book for anyone from beginners to advanced handgun shooter. Excellent photographs, graphics. not a textbook format, but loaded with a wealth of information. Highly recommend. Would make a great gift too.

IšverstiShow in original languageAs always, Sportsman guide best place to buy as they deliver as advertised. Safe is great – I expect a long use from the safe. There are some flaws; handles rattle but that is cured by softeners.
No way provided to bolt thru the safe into vehicle body – probably because of liability. I found the security cable not usable in my case. Strong, simple, well made safe.
IšverstiShow in original languageRock solid! I just had an AR-15, a PDW, and a Pistol, as well as associated mags in it yesterday. All that weapons were secured nicely. Have added a couple of magnets to keep pistols from sliding around.

The 4 Up Pistol case provides secure storage for up to 4 handguns and 10 single or double stack magazines. Perfect for law enforcement, military and gun enthusiasts, this case features resistant closed cell PEF foam construction for long term performance.
The case will also accept 1911 style guns and accommodate guns fitted with trigger locks. With 2 eyelets for locking, you can store, secure and transport your expensive handguns with confidence.
I’d been wanting one of these cases for quite some time now. The foam insert is more solid than the pluck out foam offered in most other cases. I love how you can remove the centre compartment to put in your ear protection and/or safety glasses which works nicely for us NOW as we each only have 2 pistols, but it can accomodate 6 for when we acquire a couple more in the future.
It can be carried a couple different ways & rolls nicely on the wheels. It’s is EXTREMELY secure compared to our old flimsy plastic plano case. It’s a little pricey but the quality and security brings peace of mind.
IF you can wait for a GOOD SALE to come around you surely won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend getting this EVEN IF you currently only own 1 pistol!.
Bought two 925 4up’s for 9mms and 22’s. Now my revolvers are jealous and want one specific to their shape. Excellent fit of the {medium density}foam slots and mag cut outs. Trigger locks nestle in snug and secure.
Great latch system. The included Nanuk sticker is already on my gun safe with pride. Great product.
The Vaultek LifePod Pistol and Personal Safes is your new ultimate traveling companion. With a nimble, incredibly sleek exterior and slim design, you’re ready to take the LifePod anywhere. It’s superior strength and lightweight characteristics along with a Vaultek engineered proprietary material blend provide the ultimate in impact protection.
Lock the safe seamlessly with one touch and unlock the safe by using the touch activated 4-digit backlit LED keypad.
So far so good. It’s a very high quality piece of gear. I’d love to see these manufactured here in the USA. I’d also love it more if it was a little bigger. My G-17 fits, but barely. I don’t think any but my smaller revolvers will fit this box.
But, for what I got it for, it works really well!.
I had asked for a quote on an Item and they gave it to me in record time. I did buy the Vaultek LifePod for a travel option for a single hand gun and what can I say but it is fantastic…. my gun is secure and safe.
great company to deal with and a great. product to have… thank you.
