Good pistol safe for in vehicle

[Nathan_Bell]

Ohio's CCW laws are such that I have to leave my pistol in the truck fairly often. Considering that the glove box is made of plastic and a few good kicks would break into it, I need a strong, easily accessible pistol safe for in my vehicle. Who has experience, good or bad on the products out there.


Thanks

What kind of vehicle?

Tuffy (http://www.tuffyproducts.com/) makes boxes primarily for Jeeps and open-top SUVs but they have some miscellaneous boxes that might work well. Pistol might fit well in this one. (http://www.tuffyproducts.com/lockbox/029.html)

I like these. http://www.center-of-mass.com/ they come with a cable that is useful in attaching them to the vehicle.

I have pistol safes similar to these, but made by Cannon. However, I think that they are identical to the V-Line safes. They use a simplex lock and can be cabled or bolted into the vehicle. I have six or seven of these safes and have not had any problems with the locks. However, I don't think it would be too difficult to open the safe or rip it out with a simple pry-bar. Better than the glove box, though.

These are supposed to be very sturdy.

Here are some console safes for F-250 series pickups, but they are pricey and do not appear to use a simplex lock. Oops, probably won't fit the split seat, I think, but I'll leave the link for reference.

I'm glad you left the link. I just bought an Escalade and they have a center console vault for my truck. The picture doesn't quite look right, but I can contact them to work out the details. Thanks.

Interesting looking, has anyone else used one with a G21?

I've got a 4811-S (http://www.handgunsafe.com/safes.htm), and it's rock solid. A little big, but you'd need a few minutes and a big hammer to get into it.
