V-Line Compact Keyless Gun Safe, CA DOJ Certified Portable Quick Access Pistol Safe for a Handgun and Ammo. Mechanical Lock. Great for Single Handgun When Traveling.

Update after 3 years of use:Still a fantastic value and it works 100%, always has. No batteries, no fingerprint readers that can and will fail (not if but when).Read reviews about people figuring out how to defeat the Simplex locks. Well, yeah, if you let someone have access to any kind of lock they will be able to get past it, just takes enough time. This is a pistol or valuable security box, not a safe. If you leave any firearm where other people can get to it for an extended period of time then that isn't really smart or you need some other kind of security solution, no portable or small box type system is going to stop anyone if they have unauthorized access for extended time. There are no miracle solutions for firearms storage security, none. Even your 10,000 pound safe bolted to concrete is vulnerable given enough time. They take the entire safe, rip it from the concrete and are gone in seconds. So be smart, locate this security box out of the way so no one sees it and then back that up with an intrusion security system. If you have friends or family that are allowed unrestricted access to your security or safe boxes and they steal your things that is not the fault of any security box or safe, it's a personal problem you need to fix. Same with children. No one should leave children where they have unrestricted access to safes or security boxes period. You might think your kids are wonderful and trustworthy, are their friends? Kids talk, anyone with kids who also has firearms guess what? Their friends, their friend's friends and all their parents know too. No matter disciplined they are, kids will talk because they do no matter what you think. So, be smart, locate your security boxes out of sight so that visitors just don't see them and to gain access to them they are violating your privacy and deal with that.In your vehicle, same thing, locate it out of sight. Leaving a security box in plain sight invites thieves to break in. Simple.It isn't cheap but it is worth every penny you pay for it.I've tried all the biometric reader and electronic lock boxes, none are 100% reliable and few are reliable to the point you'd trust trying to get inside when you really need it.This works, it works every time. Why would you buy anything that didn't work perfectly every time?Buy this, you won't regret it.

Really easy to set up. Clear instructions. Feature full with this patch that’s supposed to help with keeping the gun well maintained? Foam seems like its quality stuff metal feels real sturdy. Lock also seems like it could take a beating. Dimensions are accurate and perfectly small enough to fit in a night stand or other discreet locations

This is a great little ready safe to have somewhere on your ground floor in case someone tries to kick your door in. I've got my rifles upstairs, and if I need to lay down the law on the fly, my revolver sits nice and safe from children on the bookshelf in the great room.

Not convenient for left-handed gun owners. The thick combination mechanism under the top of the safe is positioned in a way that if the gun is laid more convenient for left-handed users for quick pickup, the safe cannot be closed. The grip of the gun will get in the way of the mechanism underneath. The gun has to be laid in a certain way to close the safe. It's a minor inconvenience, but it would be nice if they had taken left handed users into account when designing.

I purchased this to serve as a quick-action pistol safe to utilize in my home. Before doing so I established my criteria.First, I wanted something that used a simplex mechanical lock. Low-cost digital locks that utilize low-grade electronics seem rife for failure. Plus, I wasn't interested in changing batteries. I'm already bad about changing the air filters in my house, I didn't want to be locked of my life-saving tool because I forgot to swap out some AA's.Second, I wanted something sturdy that wouldn't be easily opened by simply slamming it on the ground. Seriously, watch YouTube. Many of the less expensive safes will just pop open if they hit the ground hard enough.Lastly, I didn't need a massive safe. A small, single handgun, safe was more than sufficient.The Good:In all of those criteria, the V-Line safe was excellent. The simplex lock is easy to use. I'm assuming if I ever need to use this it will be in the middle of the night and in the dark. The audible and tactile response from the buttons give me assurance that I could literally retrieve my firearm blind folded with only a little practice. Furthermore, the thickness and strength of the construction is obvious. The thing is stinking heavy. I have great assurances that you won't be able to pry this thing open. And lastly, while there isn't tons of space in the case, it adequately fits my Glock 17 with a mounted light and a spare magazine (and with a little room to spare even). Hard to complain since that's everything I was hoping it'd store.The Bad:The confines of the case are certainly cramped, even if it does fit my firearm. Now, that's not a major complaint for me. As I said, it fits exactly what I need it to fit - including a tactical light and a spare magazine. But it did take a little trial and error to determine how to place the gun in the case in order for it to close. The simplex lock is on the lid of the case, but it needs a space for it to come down into the case when closed and locked. This means that just because things fit in the case it might not close. Still, once I learned to just put the hammer (or where the hammer would be if it weren't a striker-fired pistol) as far as I could in the upper right-hand corner it was a non-issue. Still, if you're looking to store more than one pistol in the case it's probably going to be a struggle.The other concern I had was a lack of mounting options on the bottom of the case. It has a slot cut through the steel where a cable could be attached (not included, you must buy that separately). But I was hoping to physically mount this inside a drawer or to some other solid surface. No dice. Honestly, that's a very easy feature to add and it's unclear why they didn't just cut a few holes in the back to provide this option.Practical examples:I've tried to upload photos with this review but Amazon is being goofy and won't let me. But below are the pistols that I tested with this case. All of them were able to close and lock without issue with a magazine in the weapon.Glock 17 - with mounted light plus 1 spare magazineGlock 43 - with finger extension magazine in the well plus 1 spare magazineRuger LCP - plus 1 spare magazineKimber 1911 TLE II (full size 1911) - plus 1 spare magazineM57 Tokarev (Yugoslavian model with longer grip)Canik TP9SF
