fingerprint handgun case

JasonV

What brands are good or bad. Any other opinions of these?

Looking for a case to screw to the side of the bed to put a handgun in. Prefer fingerprint entry.

The ones I have tried all have a very precept able delay while scanning my print. Not sure I'd want anything with a built in delay.

JasonV

Good to know. I assumed they were instant

Have you looked at biovault?

Are you after a case or a safe?

JasonV

Handgun size so small. Something to bolt to the bed frame or under the table next to the bed.

This is the one we have attached to a night stand;

We too asked here before we bought. A couple points we learned about the bio vault is:

Delay
Recognizes over 1000 prints (one of which may be yopur child)
will not read your print should you have a cut,a band aid,just used a solvent that temporarily removed your prints,wrinkley fingers from soaking in hot bath/tub,after swimming

we chose the speed vault with key pad,has performed as we hoped.

Montanajoe does that have to be mounted vertically for gravity to open or can it be mounted on its side horizontal and still open?

I'm not sure,never tried it on its side. Let me see if I can find info in instruction manual.



Owner manual states, must be mounted at 90 degrees as door is gravity activated.

perhaps a 'desk mate' by V-Line;

My preference is a wall mounted lock box with a high security lock cylinder, mounted to the wall inside a closet. By the time you get the box open & have the gun in your hand, you will have had time to wake up (& you won't shoot the family member who you weren't expecting to come home at 2:00 am).

Not a fan, personally.

The fingerprint ID on my phone works about 95% of the time.

That 5% that may keep me from a handgun when I need it could be a problem.

Thanks all for the input!

Do NOT get a fingerprint vault and expect instant access. At best 5 seconds access if everything is perfect. Water, sweat, finger cut, dirty fingers, band aid, you name it..........what ever changes your original scan....WILL definitely prevent opening.

DON'T do it. I'm getting ready to throw mine in the dumpster.

I have a mini vault by Gun Vault.
It's got the finger tip combinaton thing rather than a fingerprint thing. Works every time, long as you touch the right combination!
Mine's bolted to the top of the big safe.
