Hornady RAPiD Gun Safes with RFID Technology for Quick Access to Guns and Valuables - Heavy Duty Construction, Touch-Free Entry Handgun Safe Gun Lock Box for Home, Bedside, Nightstand, or Vehicles

This is a 3 year Review: I’ve now had this as my bedside vault and I continue to love it. As with all bedside safes it depends on your situation. With this safe you can have anything you want in front of it - a clock, books, whatever - because it opens from the top. It also has a big opening allowing very easy access to you firearm(s). The interior huge unlike a drawer which is not very deep and the sides or top of which can get in the way when you’re in a hurry. Access with the RFID is immediate plus you have a push button or key access as alternatives. AND with the battery backup it’s portable. This is the best bedside safe that Hornady makes. I’d give it more than 5 starts if I could. The safe is well built and of good size. The RFID provides quick access to the contents because just a touch to the top and the lid snaps open. Yes, it’s pricey but think about what you’re trying to protect. My one huge disappointment was the length of the cable...it’s way too short. Hornady could have provided and extra couple of feet of cable for pennies but instead they went cheap. Also, when the lid snaps open the security cable, I use the side mounted position, bounces out of the groove in the side of the box. I attached two small Harbor Freight rare Earth magnets to the inside of the case to hold the cable end in place so I’m not forced to remount it after each opening. These are somewhat small problems easily worked around or overcome. IT ONLY COSTS A LITTLE MORE TO GO FIRST CLASS. For the money it’s great piece of mind.

So, first off the case is solid! And heavy! Both good things, but be aware if you want to use this for travel it will add significant weight to your luggage. OK on to fit and function. I have a Sig P320 XCarry. It barely fits the 2600KP. Had I checked dimensions a bit more close I may have opted to go with the XL, but my gun does fit with my extra mag but just barely. See the photo. My wife's gun is a Sig P365 XMACRO and that fits just fine with a bit of wiggle room to spare. So, if your gun is overall longer or taller than the overall height and length of a P320 XCarry you WILL need the XL. I considered swapping my box for the XL but this box is just for my truck when I absolutely have to go somewhere that would land me in jail for carrying a sidearm. Since my P320 does fit and with the extra mag I opted to save the extra 90 bux the XL would cost. About the only place I go that I can't carry is when I go to the VA or the very rare occasion I visit someone in a hospital. Set up was easy, follow the instructions and pairing the RFID tags was a snap. In conclusion, this is an exceptional lock box, and the fact you can plug it into the wall if used in your house is pretty awesome. Side note: when you select an object to put the security cable around keep in mind 2 things. Make sure it's strong, and equally or more important, don't put it around something that it can just be lifted off of. I've seen this happen before. Just PSA.

I bought this to carry in my car for securing my gun when going where it is not allowed. It is fairly heavy duty which is a good thing. I have several other small safes and I never realized how lightly built they were until I got this Hornady safe. It is fantastic the way it can be opened with an RFID (included) tag that I put inside my phone case as well as by a combination that you can set yourself as well as a key (only needed really if the batteries go down). I had a little trouble getting it programmed which may have been my fault or may have been slightly confusing instructions. (I'd hardly ever admit to it being my fault). I was all set to call the company but luckily it was after they had closed and so I tried one more time guessing at what was being said. It worked like a charm! The fact that it comes with a bracelet is nice. The RFID tag is opposite the clasp and foolish me I kept trying to make it work with the clasp. The cable that comes with it is quite strong and relatively thick. It makes the cables on my other small safes look like cheap wire (and I thought before they were pretty good). The wide variety of ways to open this safe make this a real winner along with how well built it seems to be. As an add on it comes with 2 RFID tags, and RFID key fob, a bracelet (with RFID) and if you are using it indoors in a fixed position a plug in so you don't have to use batteries (or you can). Very complete set-up and very well designed.

I purchased this gun safe to put under the seat of my car. I already have a polymer version but wanted something more robust. This safe is very robust, heavy and secure. The two issues I have had with it are due to it being used in a vehicle. First, the cable does not latch into the safe. It drops into a slot and it often falls out when opening and closing the safe. Countless times I have closed the safe and then realized the cable is not attached and must then re-open it and put the cable back in. I am going to try to zip tie the cable and see if that helps. The second problem is much more serious. After about 2 months of the safe riding around in my car it stopped working and I was only able to open/close it with the key. I opened up the safe and disassembled the lock mechanism. Once I did that I could see that one of the battery cable connections had disengaged from the control board. They put glue on them but this connector had glue in the wrong place. My solution was to use RTV and put a blob on each connector. Once I did that the safe started working and has not failed since.

This is more expensive than some other options. but I find it to be high quality. It is made of a strong metal. I only use the keypad lock, with a 6-digit combination (with the physical key as a backup), and once a week I open it to make sure the batteries are good and I remember the combination. I feel sure the RFID tags work fine, but I think the simpler the better; the last thing you want is a technical malfunction in an emergency. Responsible gun owners should keep their arms secure, especially if there are children in the home. I highly recommend this device.

works well and accommodates small firearms. Cable lock secures safe. Nice to have something to keep young prying hands off. Especially like that u can either swipe the fob/ punch in the combination or use the wrist strap. Am considering buying another one.
