Do you think you'd be able to fit a second gun in alongside that Glock 19? I have a LC9 and am looking at getting a Glock in the near future. When I buy a safe, I'd like it to be able to fit both so I don't have to buy a second one later.
Most of them are easily defeated crap. The electronics are meaningless if it is easy to defeat the container itself. Both of the 'pistol safes' in this video are junk. Not cheap junk but junk none the less. No special tools required, just persistence and a bit of cleverness. There are major design flaws in both lock boxes. I won't call them safes. If you know what you are doing, both can be opened in less than a minute and it is not hard to disable the alarm in the Stack On garbage. A couple of years ago, a three year old, in Washington state, opened the Stack On and killed himself. A three year old got it open, knowing nothing about such things.
Looks good. I would bolt it down to something solid. The lid looks like it could easily be pried open with a crowbar or large screwdriver if a thief would grab the box and run off. I don't have kids in the house, so I can leave my gun out when home and put it in my safe when I'm out (or carry it).
Remove the plastic bumper on the right side and you will probably find three holes in the box that will allow you to put a bit of clothes hanger wire in and activate the latch. This is a Chinese design used by a number of Chinese manufacturers. It has several design flaws that will allow a clever 12 year old to open it and or even change the access code, again using a stiff piece of wire. The back up key lock is probably a wafer lock, that is very easy to defeat with very little skill. I think it is a terrible design. That is not a criticism of you. Most people do not know how poor the designs are for these pistol safes and gun locks. Most are actually junk that any clever persistent kid could get into. Stack On safes are notoriously bad. That sticker that says it is California DOJ approved is fake, same for the new one. Those designs are not approved. You can get the list of companies and models that are approved. Not that it means very much as their standards were written by politicos and lawyers instead of lock smiths and professional penetration testers, who are hired by many companies and organizations. I am not a fan of bad gun safes and crappy gun locks that can be defeated so easily. The consumer can spend a lot of money for nothing but a false sense of security. Sorry, but the Ardwolf is crap.

Biometric gun safes are awesome and great for home defense

Awesome, nice product. not sure witch brand I have but the batteries don't last long. How is the battery life on that product?
+EastTexasOutLaws not sure yet, had it for three weeks so far. Using rechargeable batteries though to save money hopefully. Thanks for watching!
Would be good to know how long the batteries last before needing replacement
Still using the batteries I installed at the time of making the video, so the battery life has been very good! thanks for watching!

I'm gonna get a safe like this at 21
If you would like, I can give you links to a couple of people that test and research these products.
