Whilst the most attractive way to store your guns is to buy a beautiful wooden gun cabinet, it is by no means the most secure way; any competent criminal could smash the glass or cut the wood and be away with your firearms within minutes. They are perfectly sufficient at keeping kids and guests away from your weapons, but if you are genuinely concerned about security or live in an area which sees frequent burglaries then you need to think about investing in a good quality gun safe.
If it is only handguns that you want to lock away then check out our selection of the best gun safes for pistols. This page features a selection of what we consider to be the best gun safes for rifles and shotguns, some of which are also suitable for storage of your handguns! To buy at rock bottom online prices simply follow our links to Amazon, where thanks to the free shipping given to most items shooting accessories are generally at their cheapest!

SentrySafe G1459E 14-Gun Electronic Lock Safe
Of course, some shooters have a lot more than five guns to store and for those SentrySafe do a much bigger 14 gun safe. This electronic lock safe meets California Department of Justice requirements for approved firearm safety devices. Three steel live locking bolts and three dead bolts will prove near-impossible to break, whilst a hardened steel plate protects against drill attacks.
A carpeted interior protects your expensive guns against scratches and scuffs. A small shelf at the top is perfect for a few boxes of ammunition or perhaps a handgun or two.
This top rated gun safe has an average customer rating of 4.5/5 on Amazon, but at $549 it doesn’t come cheap (normal retail price $609.99), you do get free shipping though and that is very unusual for an item as heavy as this!
