Been seeing a few safe modifications. Thought I post my own project. A way to organize my pistols and mags without taking up precious shelf space. Ordinary pistol stands take up shelf space. Under shelf hangers are just cheap bent epoxy covered wire that are loose and still take up some space topside of shelf. Magnetic holders are expensive at $20 per pistol. Plus magnetic mats to organize your magazines also $20 each with not much real estate.
My answer came from Harbor Freight. These can be had for as low as $3.99 each when on sale. Usually I see them for $6.99 all the time. Went out and bought 4 of them.

Attached two sets underneath the shelf. Another two installed on the door. Though it didn't look like it needed it, you can always tape up the edges with electrical tape if you're worried about scratching the pistols. The pistols were too heavy with loaded mags to be hung. Mags attached really easily. Though loaded mags are a little off balanced and naturally twist vertically as you can see in the photo. I can aggressive open and close my safe door with nothing falling off. My P226 was the heaviest and still attached securely. My wife's Ruger SR22 can't be mounted because the slide is aluminum. The picture doesn't show many mags, but I have about 17 mags total now, and it holds them all no problem. Many of you will mention that I don't need keep mags and ammo in the safe. But I am able to organize them all in the safe with our many pistols and few rifles with no problem. All easily accessible and none stacked in tandem. Also a range bag on the bottom of the safe.
I'm working on modifying a mini dehumidifier to magnetically attach to the wall of the safe if anyone is interested in seeing how that is done.
