THanks guys. I don't need a pistol for my job, so it will be stored there full time. The others will remain in a decent Liberty safe. All of the single gun safes seem to either have digital security, or simplex locks. Both of which it appears that a 5 year old can break into in less than 5 seconds according to articles or youtube vids.

I have a budget of $500 for this safe, and it needs to be very easy to open in the case of an emergency, but secure enough to keep someone out that has time to spend cracking it.

I almost picked up a Protex HD20 until I saw the vid on youtube showing folks how to easily compromise digital safes:
