Looking for a small safe

JRS11 · June 20, 2013, 02:21 PM

I will just have 2 handguns, so a B rated save with no fire proofing necessary. When I travel I may put in some credit cards that I really don't use often and my check book and check, maybe always on these things. So I ran across the only small safe with 1/2" front and 1/4" sided, Gardall H2, yes it is small but that is not bad for me. Any Amsec with the same gauges of steel are at least twice the price (and yes, bigger). So what is the opinion of this little Gardall?

I can get one for $390 delivered so the price is very attractive.

Thanks

AMSEC MS1414C. Should be around the same price, and should be of slightly better quality.

AMSEC has around 3,000 dealers nationwide. See if you can find somebody near you before looking on the web.

The amsec has 1/8" sides and made in China in the same factory as a similar gardall. This gardall is made in Korea with 1/4 inch sides. The whole things is very confusing, and the gardall uses the S&G combo lock, so again, confused.

Is there a reason that you seem to like Amsec better?

Thanks
