Default Costco - First Alert Gun Safe

Just saw this at Costco in the west end (Edm). In store price is $340. Are these any good?

Default Good by Me

I have one and it is fine. Doesn't hold the number of guns advertised but it is good.

Another option for you, Canadian Tire is putting the 16 gun Stack-on safe on sale this week for 400 bucks, 300 bucks off.

Canadian Tire has been very nice as of late... Witness their current sale on the 8 gun Stack-On cabinet, under $100! Makes a most excellent bedside gun storage solution/additional safe and is perfect for those who live in urban areas. A very nice way to store a single long gun accessible at home, with ammunition (yet unloaded, of course) whilst remaining on compliance with Canada's atrocious firearms act.

The Safe mentioned at Costco in the original post of this thread surely would be a fair enough deal for storage of a few guns at the sale price. I would certainly decline said offering at full price Sir.

Got two, after bobsledding them down the stairs and loading them up with guns if someone gets them out of the house loaded up, well they deserve it and their chiropractor will thank them. Pretty good bet for under $400 bucks and keeps things decently secure. As mentioned I would like to see them hold 14 guns, especially anything long with a scope but will hold 10 and a good bet for the dollar.

Interesting thread to read

Long-time experience shows ... the more guns you pack into a gunsafe, the more 'safe-kiss' damage occurs.

Govern yourselves accordingly,

Mac

I like mine. 6 guns in it, some ammo, 3 lbs of gunpowder, etc I'd say 10 would fit comfortably minus big mags, scopes, etc. Pretty decently made and comes with lag bolts to bolt onto wall to keep from tipping over. Lots of fun getting it downstairs.

I picked mine up about 5 years back and was branded Honeywell at the time. Great deal for the price.
