what's the best truck/car pistol safe?

[Randy Milligan]

How about what I have in my Tahoe? It might be a little overkill for just a pistol. It's a magnum height dual drawer Truck Vault.

Nice. I agree it might be a bit of an overkill.

Now that is sweet!!!!

very NICE!!!

thought about putting a rifle vault in the pickup bed ... but my truck gets used for too many other functions to dedicate that much space.

a slimline case over the wheel well may be the ticket for me. but that still would solve issue of protecting a pistol. it'd be bad to draw attention to yourself putting pistol in the bed.

looks like a trip to Sportsworld before ordering is next...

I got one of those little pistol safes that have a cable that connects to the frame of the seat.
I don't leave my pistol in it all that often or all that long. But it works good enough.

I use these products. I really like them so far.

I wouldn't call it the best but it works. I also op'ed for the key lock.

This is what Sports World has, a keyed and or comdo model.

Randy I really like that setup. However can you legally carry your AR15 in your truck like that where ever you go? Again I am new to guns so pardon the ignorance.

been reading about all the recent pistol thefts from cars....

getting ready to order a "Gunvault GV1000D-DLX Mini Vault Deluxe Gun Safe" at Amazon for $91 w/free shipping.

only need to store one pistol safely in the rare instances. there's a need to briefly leave my pistol inside my truck.

this one has the very desirable feature of opening with a combination by touch. are there any better options out there?

I have that very safe, under my bed rather than in my truck though. It has both the combination lock, as well as a key.
Mine is still on it's first set of batteries, I've had it for 3-4 years now (admittedly, it doesn't get opened real frequently).
For an additional $9 you can get a cable from Academy to secure it, that hooks through an existing hole in the gunvault.

I can since the Tahoe is used as my patrol vehicle sometimes. I think that magazine loaded long guns are accetable in the trunk of a vehicle for everyone else.
