Peacekeeper: meet safekeeper - GunVault MicroVault XL Digital Handgun Safe

The GunVault Microvault XL 1000 Digital Handgun safe arrived well packaged and precisely as described. Clear instructions and simple set up made for painless initialization. Scratch-free foam interior will not mar your keepsake. Slim and well-contoured, I actually have it resting in plain sight on a stereo rack rather than in a drawer. The black exterior makes it less noticeable. I was also happy to note the pebbled exterior...no fingerprints! Being somewhat casual about replacing fire alarm batteries, I am happy to see there are both visual and audio alerts that the nine-volt battery is starting to fade.

The item responds well to the customizable button sequence you choose, and the company offers a wide choice from simple to more complex combinations, depending on your level of paranoia. The safe even passed its initial test. I wanted to show my son when he dropped in, and while I was pouring a couple of drinks, he attempted to open the GunVault to see its interior. He said it had "beeped" at him and he gave up after a couple of tries. I told him that was just as well because it had a cool-down lock out system.

If you want a well priced, attractive, sturdy gun vault that works as advertised, I do not believe this product will disappoint you.
