RE: Gun Safes: Lessons Learned?
I take it that a mechanical dial is more secure than digital? Thus your comment about ADT and the use of a digital dial? How about the heat wands that combat moisture... how do you power them? Are they battery operated or can you get AC power to them?
Sure is a lot more to these safes than one would think!
Thanks again for the feedback,

MD,this is an AMSEC, they make one even better than this one.
Depends how mush you want to invest in one.
This one has locking dial so no one can come up and just start playing and spinning it.
The reason is you dial a combination you don't spin it. The combo wheels have parts
on them {called flys} that pick each other up when dialing.If you spin them hard, one
might break off. You'll have a complete lock out! And would have to be drilled open.

Any lessons learned out there regarding gun safes? Bought a safe and later thought I wish this safe had a? or I should have bought a safe that holds X number of guns? Please share any positive experiences you've had with a particular brand or model.
Any positive advise you could share would be appreciated.
Tks,
Scott
