Helpful review: "As a responsible gun owner, I purchased this gun safe to secure my pistol from both my children and house guests. What was my primary concern? Well, I really wanted to balance between (1) security and (2) quick access to my firearm. The new blacksmith safe provided me exactly with what I wanted. It’s a game-changer that has surpassed my expectations in both areas.
Let’s start at the beginning. The setup process was quick and easy, and the biometric option is simply remarkable. The fingerprint scanner has proven to be very accurate, allowing quick access to my pistol within a second. This feature alone, which is so important to me, sets the Blacksmith safe apart from other lock-and-key options that are currently on the market. It really provides me with the security I need, as now I have the confidence that I can reach my gun quickly and effectively in case of a break-in.
Now, let's talk about size. For me, it’s really essential that a pistol safe would fit into my nightstand drawer, because a break-in is likely to happen at night. And in the case of a home invasion, every moment counts, right? So, in the very unfortunate event of a burglar breaking into my house, having the pistol next to me is crucial. I needed a bedside safe that would ensure I have the ability to protect my family and myself in a matter of seconds. That’s why I was so impressed with the Blacksmith. It fits perfectly in my nightstand drawer. Its steel construction makes sure it’s securely in place. And the biometric option allows quick access.
The biometric option is really important, in my mind. You see, having a big family and having a lot of people around (guests, etc…), I really needed something that would give me peace of mind. I can’t stand the thought of an unauthorized person reaching for my pistol. So the biometric option, which allows only authorized people to access the safe, calms me down. It provides the confidence I need by giving me that extra layer of emotional security. If you’re a responsible gun owner, you know what I’m talking about.
So all in all, I highly recommend this safe to anyone looking for a reliable nightstand gun safe. The sturdy steel construction and pry-resistant door make the safe rock-solid, and provide me with the confidence that my pistol is protected. And it also has enough room for a couple other valuables alongside my pistol, which is pretty cool:) I really think it’s an indispensable product for gun owners who live with other people in their houses, and who value reliability, as well as the ability to respond quickly. This safe has now become an indispensable addition to my home security setup. Well done, Blacksmith!" — Noah O. Thompson
