Im a first/time buyer of a gun safe. This arrived yesterday, and seems to be sturdy, well/built, and effective for the purpose. Its light enough that I could carry it by myself (100 lbs), which was important for getting it into the room where I want to keep it. My collection is small, so its a perfectly sufficient space for what I need.
I found the instructions around setting up the fingerprint sensor to be slightly confusing at first, but got it working within a few minutes. It doesnt seem to be quite as sensitive or sophisticated as, say, the sensor on my 4/year/old smart phone, but it gets the job done. Note that its important to set up at least one fingerprint, or any will work.
The cover for the battery compartment seems a little flimsy, but thats fine; hopefully I wont have to open it more than every few months. I havent used it yet to the point where the batteries died, but theres a separate battery container (keep OUTSIDE the safe!) that can be used if they die completely.
Finally / the door rattles very slightly. Im going to add a bit of felt to the inside to make sure bumping the safe doesnt make a lot of noise (as it does now).
Overall, very pleased with it! It works.
sturdy, effective storage
