The Locking Gun Rack vs The Gun Safe
Lets just call the locking gun rack ‘David’ and the gun safe ‘Goliath’ of safe gun storage products.
Everyone knows that the gun safe is the big giant of gun storage products so why even bother comparing which one is better. Well, not so fast. Let’s take a different angle at this situation.
The mighty ‘Goliath’ is very large, strong and out weighs the ‘David’ by 100’s of pounds and appears to be no match-up as to which one is best. But wait, the word best may not mean what your think it means in this particular situation. What is best for some gun owners may not be the best for others.
I’m going to break it down for a little deeper study of the facts. If you are a gun collector of very expensive firearms or a collector of antique guns that cannot be replaced, then by all means the ‘Goliath’ of gun storage is the one for you. But if you are just the average ‘Joe’ of gun owners that has just a few firearms (that can be replaced by your insurance) and your main focus is to try to protect them from theft and children, then the ‘David’ of secured gun storage may be best in your situation. Why pay 5 to 70 times more for the safe if this is your situation?
Below are a few of the Pros and Cons between the two:
……………………..Locking Gun Rack……..Gun Safe
Wall Space Needed:……Minimum……………Large
Weight:…………………..6-12 lbs……….up to 2,000+ lbs.
Price Range:…………..$70-$130…………$500-$9,000
Gun Security:……………Good…………….Excellent
Fire Proof:………………..No…………………Yes
No. of Gun Stored:………3-9……………..15 – 70+
Easy to Install:…………..Yes…………………No
So, taking into consideration of all facts listed and depending on the average ‘Joe’ gun owner’s situation, to sum it all up it appears that ‘David’ the locking gun rack can hold it’s own against ‘Goliath’ the gun safe.
