After a lot of research, high and low, I settled on the newer Moutec biometric safe to house my (1) long gun, ammo, accessories and pistol. This was an excellent choice. I did not want a professional safe to house my small collection, however needed to at least deter theft.
Much heavier and beefier than I expected. Although I did just eat a cheese steak prior getting this into my house in a dolly, so.Fingerprint scanner was easy to set up, as was changing the numeric code straight away. Mine came with the foam barrel rests, but others looked like they got the plastic rest. At least you can cut the foam if needed, so Im glad I got that. The lockable shelf is small but useful. I was able to fit all of my JHP in that for extra safekeeping.
I added two motion sensor LED lights and a magnetic pistol holder under the shelf ledge. Sometimes I need to scan my finger twice—the unit will beep once and turn green but the lock wont open. I suspect that I need to add more angles of my single print into the database to stop this from happening.
Overall, a fantastic safe, and a great value as a first starter safe. While it does not have a fire or water rating, the range of opening options, the large open space and the lockable interior area more than makes up for it. Thumbs up! recommend!
