Keep your carry weapon from falling into unauthorized hands--especially your children's--with the Secure-It handgun storage safe. The safe, which fits revolvers and full-size semi-automatic handguns, keeps your weapon close at hand but still safely out of harm's way. You can mount the safe pretty much anywhere, including under the seat in your car or truck or at home in a compact space. As an alternative, you can hide the safe in a purse or briefcase if you know you'll be on the move. And wherever you go, you can rest assured that you'll be the only one who can get inside.
The safe acts like a mobile bank vault, with a heavy-duty, 21-gauge steel construction and a 1,500-pound test security cable that attaches to any fixed object. The 1-inch-thick interior memory foam, meanwhile, provides a snug, customized fit for your gun, including J- and K-frame revolvers (up to a 4-inch barrel) and full-size semi-autos like the 1911. Designed to meet all TSA airline firearm guidelines, the safe measures 9-1/2 by 1-3/4 by 6-1/2 inches (W x H x D) and comes with two keys for the quarter-turn lock.

key lock version.
I recently locked myself out of my place. I had previously put a spare house key in the "secure it" in my truck. I keep a spare truck key in my wallet so getting to the truck was no problem. the problem was that i did not put a spare safe key on my key ring, so instead of sitting outside in my truck for 10 hours waiting for the apartment complex folks to show up to work, or paying maybe a hundred to get into my place, i decided to break into my safe.
i tried to use my leatherman to cut the cable but that did not work out well, i stripped the plastic coating and cut a few strands but not good enough. i only got halfway through the cable. i tried to turn the lock with the flathead portion of the screwdriver. i shredded the interior parts of the lock, but it would not budge. i then used my leatherman to break into the side along the seam. i used the flathead screwdriver part to pry a side open. i attacked for several minutes but the leatherman could only do but so much. however i was able to flex the metal enough to create a gap. then i got the idea to use my vehicle's crowbar. i worked for some time more. the interior side piece (a tack(?) welded piece of metal that happens to be on both sides) eventually popped loose, but remained vertical inside the safe so i could not insert the crowbar all the way across. eventually i popped the safe open and got my house keys.
this all took me 45 minutes.
pluses.
--the lock portion held up under my attack using a flathead
--the interior sidewalls prevented me from getting deeper inside with the crowbar
minuses.
--needs a thicker cable (i went to Lowes and made one using laminated 1/8 in cable, i think this one is 3/32nd).
--needs better welding. the spot welds are weak.
--the locking hasp eventually popped. i mean, it had that appearance as if a tubular piece of pottery had just broken off of a base it was attached to. needs a better weld.
as a lesson, do not leave any tools in your car that will make it easier for someone to break into your safe. (yeah, a no brainer, but the crowbar part escaped me).
