When I bought my first safe, I just got what I needed at the time.....I should've bought one 3X what I needed. You will be amazed at what goes in there.

That said, before I bought the 1st safe, I checked my local gun shops to see what they used, and bought based on that.

The best advice I can give is get the best you can afford because any safe is better than nothing. Then you can upgrade when your needs demand.

If you can keep the perps out for 2-hours, they may get tired, ruin their tools or scared that somebody will be home soon. It may help also if you build the safe(s) into a closet or something that you can shut the doors on so people can't see them. Makes them harder to remove when they're bolted down, bolted against the wall & framed in. A BIG dog also helps.

Just my$0.02 worth, but do something.
