Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For several years we have used an electronic safe to store a handgun for home defense.I always had the disadvantages of electronic safes in the back of my mind; but continued to use it until the point was driven home by the latch motor malfunctioning unexpectedly.
Since I had to get a new safe anyway, I decided to try out the V-Line Hide-Away; and I have been impressed by it so far.Here are the things I like about it:
1) It is easier and quicker to open than our previous GunVault safe.My wife and I both can get this open in probably 1/3-1/2 the time that it took to open the GunVault GV2000.
2) There is no delay or irritating beep if you mess up the combo - I like that I can just start over immediately and try again.
3) Our main reason for needing this safe is to keep firearms away from the kids, and this Hide-Away safe has a solid build and is easily mountable to do just that.
4) The quality of this safe is top notch - it just seems like a solid, well built piece of hardware.
The main downside to this safe, for me, is the slide-out drawer.It seems like it would actually be a bit easier to just have a wider opening where I could reach in and grab what I want without sliding out the drawer; but that's just my opinion.I also added a rubber drawer stop tab to the front of the drawer so the latch mechanism won't scratch the finish and it will close more quietly when the drawer isn't completely pushed in.
I would also say that cost is a downside, but it's hard to complain when comparing the quality of this side-by-side against the GunVault safes (especially the newer ones).
Overall, I highly recommend this handgun safe if you are looking for an option that is secure, easy to access, and doesn't rely on electronics.
