Anyone have suggestions for storing handguns in a safe built for long guns?
I have a safe made for 8 long guns; it is felt lined and I currently have 1 shotgun in the rack, 4 handguns laid on the floor of it, and 2 more on the top shelf.
The problem will be arising this weekend when two more handguns will be arriving (like thats a real problem[smile]). I was thinking of building another shelf or installing hooks on the inside of the door....just fishing for suggestions before I ruin my safe.
Also I have 2 separate lockboxes for storing ammo so that takes up no space in the safe.
Any advice will be helpful.
(please don't say get another safe...this thing is huge and I only have one long gun)
 
Add some peg board to the door and peg hooks and hang your pistols from the hooks.
 
i bulit a shelf into the top of mine that extends out in the middle... lemme know if u want me to take a pic of what i mean...
 
Hurry up, I heard that pegs and peg boards might be declared illegal in Mass soon...[wink]
 
a cut to fit peg board on an interior side may work well also

BINGO!

This is what I've done with mine...
