I recently purchased 2 handgun lock boxes from http://www.fas1safe.com and I am quite pleased with their product. The safe has a pneumatic hinged door that lifts up to present your pistol to you. It is made out of 3/16th carbon steel and is powder coated dark brown. It uses a simple mechanical Simplex lock so there is no worry about batteries dying or needing to have a key always handy to get into it. And it's heavy, it weighs in around 40lbs so it's one you're going to secure somewhere for easy access. I found this safe on a thread from http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=466203 Use the discount code below and it will cost about $205 dollars plus shipping.
I looked at Smith & Wesson's QuickDraw but decided on the FAS1 safe due to the heavy steel construction, competitive price using the code and the type of lock on this. I feel the Simplex lock is faster to operate. I really like this and would recommend it to anyone who wants their handgun nearby, but more secure than in the nightstand.
