I decided that storing my pistol when I leave the house on business trips is not working. I have grandkids that visit so locking them up when I am gone is essential.

Yes, I did do a search here and there are lots of reports on the Gunvault brand of pistol safes (and others of course). I am not looking for anything other than a case that will safely hold my Colt 1911 Government and one mag. Does anyone use one of these: http://www.gunvault.com/minisafe.nxg, the GV1000C, or this one: http://www.gunvault.com/multisafes.nxg, the GV2000C, with a full size 1911? If so, are you happy with this as a storage device? Any complaints?

I am open to other ideas, but I really like the idea that this has a forward opening door that drops down and has finger grooves for the code. I don't think that I want an upward opening door but what other features are great to have?

Thank you in advance.
