I shopped around for a small gunbox/safe about a year ago. Most of the fingerprint and electronic fingerpad ones seemed cheap and flimsy, were made in China, and didn't have the greatest reviews online.
The V-line seemed like a step above those, and I appreciated the simplicity of the Simplex lock. The construction, while better, still was a bit more lightweight gauge steel than I would have liked.
I went with a Fort Knox pistol box. Much heavier duty, made in the US, and enough room for a couple of handguns. No problems whatsoever in the past year of ownership. Eventually I also bought a gun cabinet for the closet to hold rifles and ammo.
Although I didn't buy it, the FAS1 linked above looks very promising as well, especially for bedside or car/truck - I might pick one up one of these days.
