best place to buy a gun safe in the OKC metro

[338Shooter]

The people at Bear Safes are nice and they make a nice product. But, I feel like the prices are a little high with the (lack of) features and niceties. The interiors seem a little chintzy. If you're willing to spend $4000 (HK Chef mentioned Bear's $4k model) on a safe you can get one with at least the same quality of construction (that is actually tested), a lot more bells and whistles, and one that actually looks nice in your house. The Bear, while being a good safe, is an ugly black box.

check out this very informative video on breaking into safes.

flat didn't realize until this vid that ALL electronic key pads has a selenoid to operate. that selenoid is a weak point no matter how good the locking bolts it controls.

all you have to do is drill a hole in the right place...snag the electrical line, put power to selenoid and you are in.

starting to like my Bear safe more and more.

A good safe with hardplate protection around the lock isn't going to be that simple to actuate the solenoid with a battery. Many also have a relocker that once drilled the safe will lock up for good. That is probably very possible on some china safes, but a good safe shouldn't be vulnerable like that video shows.

If we're concerned with drilling, what protection does the Bear Safe have against a drill or torch?

I'm extremely pleased with my bear safe. Armorvaults are really nice too.

Ha!

For 4000 I would go with Amsec BF7250. You should check them out Dustin, they are built well for a RSC and have plenty of features.

Really man RSC's are pretty defenseless against drills and torches.

I'll check them out. I'm also looking at the Heritage Tradition TX4672. They are pretty nice safes for the $$ too.
