Best 12 Gun Storage – Gun Safes for the money

How’s it going, guys? Sheepdog 88 here and today we’re doing another review and this review is gonna be on the Liberty HDX-350 now. This is one of the biometric safes that Liberty offers which are pretty popular nowadays. One they allow you to access your safe without having a key and then make it a lot quicker in order to get into your safe whether you have a firearm or any other valuables locked away.

This one is huge. This is their 350 this is a part of their defender series and I believe this is the biggest one they offer so you have plenty of room on the inside. It does have a lot of cool features too which I’m going to talk about but starting off right here. As you can see is the fingerprint scanner or the biometric scanner now.

The 350 allows you to store up to 30 different types of fingerprints now. In the manual or in the instructions I do recommend storing the same fingerprints more than once. So what I do is I saved my same fingerprint on each finger my left hand and my right hand. I do that three times; I enrolled it so that way I don’t have to worry about it not recognize my fingerprint immediately so i did that so.

Let me go out and open here, just to show you the inside of it. So, right now I do have it plugged in. It opens in one second. This does have a battery backup so if your power goes out in your house or anything like that you could still access it with the battery. It comes with a nine volt battery and you have a key to override. It as well comes with two keys.

Let’s go ahead in take a look at the inside just so I could show you how much space you really have in here. All right, right now I got a pistol, a spare magazine, and a flashlight. You noticed when it did open up right away it does have the lead light in orbital in order to light it up in there. So right here also another cool feature is a drawer. I don’t have anything in there right now but you could put any kind of documents, your passport, jewelry, anything like that you do have a small drawer. That’s really not in the way it’s kind of high here but it does slide back and forth.

Look at the size of this thing. I could easily fit two pistols in here right now. I like I said you said one sig. P320. It’s a medium sized pistol. I got a spare mag, got a flashlight right. I had this set up for home defense but if you look back here a really cool feature that they added is a USB port with an LED light on it, so I’m able to charge something inside the safe locked away. Also they do give you two USB ports on the outside to charge your cell phone or anything like that but just showing you the size of this. It’s pretty big. And when this safe opens up here open it again. Just listen to how quiet it is. So it doesn’t slam down. I know there are 250. Oh, there’s smaller one.

When that door comes open it’s pretty loud. I mean it opens quick which is nice but if you have a break-in and you want to get to your pistol you probably don’t want to give away your position or make a lot of noise. You want to be quite so that’s a nice feature that they added. It still opens very quick but it softly opens and does not slam down showing you the outside here. So right here you can see they have the two USB chargers right now. I just got a battery by external battery backup charging right now and it’s plugged in. So I like to keep this plugged in this right now.

It’s on my workbench but I keep this on my nightstand right next to my bed so I have quick access to my firearm and it’s locked away. Don’t have to worry about anyone getting to it. But this thing is awesome. It’s a nice size, it’s solid, right here is the lock for the key override. Let me show you that. So it does come with two of these keys right here real small keys. I keep one on my key chain and I actually have the other one in my big safe for my other Liberty safe.

As you can see, opens up right away. Don’t have anything to worry about now. This battery compartment, it’s kind of hard to see. Let me see the look at the flashlight on it. So, it’s right up here on top that’s where the 9-volt battery sits and then right here that yellow button. That’s what you use to program it if you hold it down for, I don’t know, five to ten seconds – all these lights, there’s already a green, a yellow and a red light walt flicker. Look at Christmas tree, that resets all the memory resets all the fingerprints and then you could register each fingerprint one at a time.

You hold that button down for a few seconds. The green and yellow light will come on and then you slowly swipe your finger over about five times and when the green light flickers that means it’s registered now. This one is cool because you could either push your finger forward or pull your finger back. It’s either/or which is another nice feature this safe and I mean this thing is solid. If someone were to try to break into this, they don’t need some tools. It’s gonna slow them down. It’s gonna take a while and this will prevent somebody from gaining access to your firearm really quick.

Alright. So some other features… This Liberty safe is amazing. Liberty makes really good quality products. As you can see, they’re made in the USA. Now you guys might have seen my other video where I do a review of my Liberty Centurion 24 gun safe. So I’ve been extremely happy with the Quality of Liberty. I mean they’re really second to none when it compares to safe makers.

I know there’s a lot of other state companies out there that are a little bit less expensive but you get what you pay for. I will gladly pay a little bit extra as long as I know I’m getting a really good quality product. It’s made in the USA that actually means a lot to me. Why would somebody get this safe? Now I think this is great for somebody who maybe really isn’t that big of a gun guy or isn’t into firearms that much and need something for home defense. Realizes like: “Hey, I need a firearm to protect myself and I don’t need a 24 or 25 gun safe. I don’t want a small lockbox, I want something a little more secure.” So this is a great option for that.

This is something you could hide really close in a closet next to your bed on the nights and the nice stands where I keep it this also. It doesn’t come with it but you could buy a cable to secure it to something, or you could buy a mounting plate. If you plan on keeping this somewhere secure like me. I’m moving pretty soon so I’m not gonna secure it down yet but once I get my new House I’m planned on securing this down that stops somebody from just walking away with the entire state. But if you don’t have mounting options or anywhere to bolt it down, the cable is another great option for that too but this is good for somebody anybody really who has a handgun and wants it. You know, access to it quick.

Someone needs a break-in and you could also get this for stuff other besides firearms. As you know, documents, money, anything like that you want to keep secure but this is more geared towards storing a firearm, especially, with the biometric scanner of quick access. But yeah, I mean this has a lot of room so I don’t plan on running out of room with this thing. I mean it even goes back pretty far. Like I said I could fit at least two pistols, lots of money that drawers a real nice feature they added up there.

I’m glad to have the drawer also. I love that USB charger, so that way I could charge my cell phone, my battery charge, or anything like that I could have charged security my safe. Seeing a lot of these biometric safes on the market and I was happy when Liberty started making their own because I knew the quality was just gonna be ten times better than what any other company has put on the market.

A lot of these biometric readers makes people nervous. I don’t know if it’s gonna read my fingerprint exactly when I need it and this one has been a hundred percent functional. It works every time. I read my fingerprint like I said I did store each fingerprint three times just to make sure. Even in the manual it says Liberty recommend storing it multiple times so I did three times on each index finger on both hands. So that way I can access it with any head and like I said I could store up to 30 different fingerprints.

All right, so if you guys are interested in ordering one of these safes I’m gonna go ahead and put a link in the description. If you want to order one and like I said these things are just awesome. Really good quality. This gives me I mean I know I have my big save to you but for home defense I don’t want to have to run to my safe. Buy big safe and spend time opening that up to get a gun. This gives you the option of having a gun right next to you while you sleep quick access with the biometric fingerprint scanner. I mean it is awesome. Like i said, I also keep a flashlight here and it’s just a really good product.

Hey guys robert with a one locksmith of frisco texas today we’re going to take a look at the liberty hdx smart vault it’s. One of their biometric hand gun safes I’m gonna see if i can show you a little bit more about the product maybe answer some questions that you’ve had about it okay, so we’re gonna dive right in we’re gonna take a closer look alright here we go let’s take the look liberty hdx 150 biometric pistol vaults. Really simple i just want to show you the features it is biometric we’re gonna. Scan a finger the latch is gonna release. The lid it is then able to be open now. That’s all it does and by that i mean it. Does not spring latch open it just. Releases the latch so again just hold it. Down swipe, it drops it good to go so I’m. Just kind of playing with it I’ve got multiple fingers of mine in here just, so we can kind of see i think that’s. Important that you see that it can read multiple fingerprints now and then that. Said if i try to use a fingerprint. That’s not installed in here okay it’s. Going to give me a lot of red flashes so. My pinky not in here. Right that’s exactly what that means so on the other hand just, so we can see not. In their okay we’ll go ring finger not. In there however good to go no problems. Right give it a close so that’s pretty. Much how it works you can do up to 15 finger prints inside of here and i strongly recommend you do you never know what finger need to put on there let’s open it lets’s take a look on the inside here we go. So to move things along i went ahead and. Set a weapon in there so you can see about size-wise what you’re dealing with this is a small compact weapon as you. Can see there’s still a lot of room for much longer barrel so i have put. Full-sized 45s in here and they fit. Absolutely fine this is a narrow weapon okay so I’m okay with the foam that’s on. The lid I’m okay with the amount of foam that’s in here however let’s say that i wanted to use a larger weapon well there’s actually dual layers so i can. Remove one and then we can try to fit. The larger weapon in here i haven’t seen anything that really doesn’t fit too well and put a 44 magnum though to be honest with you so I’m not sure it does not come with redrilled holes for mounting it to cabinet or shelf or an internet table these are a little rubber. Feet you probably knock those out and use those if you want to run screws or you can probably drill your own and set those in there as well okay i just throw. This back in just like to leave it in. There looks nice right here this thing. Is running off of a 9 volt battery right. Now and that battery is hidden behind. This little tray right here easy to remove screw replace your 9 volt battery. I strongly suggest Duracell it’s not a name-drop I’ve just had much more success with small electronic parts like biometric readers and keypads and safes. With Duracell products right here this. Unscrews as well and that reveals to us. Our admin button here’s a little pushpin. That they give us in the package and so. What that is that you just reach in there to push and it lights up so now. I’ve got all these lights blinking let’s do this lets’s go 1 2 3 4 & 5. That was five successful swipes green. Light tells me so every time that it. Blinks yellow that means success swipe it again i would have got a red light if i was off it’s just that easy so now i should be able to walk up green light yellow light swipe we hear the motor. Turn we’re good to go set the screw back in there, so we don’t lose it and it keeps the button from being jammed right there i have a slow blinking red life if. You look in the manual that will tell. You that mean batteries getting low okay so in doing. These videos I’m not gonna lie to you there’s a blooper reel you’d enjoy it I’ve had to do this several times to get the videos right so I’m wearing that battery out not to mention this is my demo so i use this often okay but um if. I replace that battery I’ll be fresh and good to go real quick before we get out. Key override I’m a locksmith i like key. Overrides because if this thing fails battery wise you’ve got away in comes. With two keys they are the ace and/or tubular keys, so they’re much more tamper proof than a. Standard single sided key that might be on your manual dial on your safe okay. That’s a little bit more tamper proof i. Appreciate that as a locksmith we can close that stays away it’s out of mind i like that a lot now don’t want to run a battery don’t run to run the key here is. The ac adapter offered by liberty safe. You can plug this in and then you’ve got constant power to the reader at all times i like that option a lot several. Of my customers swear by this product over just running the nine volt battery i personally only run the nine volt battery but i changed it pretties frequently I’m kind of you know I’m anal. About that so there’s that there’s this. If you have questions please comment below lastly I’m so sorry it does come. With a cable lock so you can run the cable through here, and they got these cutouts on both sides of the box so if you want to wrap that around a table or something you have that option as well there it is liberty hdx 150 biometric pistol vaults. Leave your comments and questions below thanks so many guys.

Hey there! This is Matt with Defense Innovations and this evening I wanted to do a video not like any of the other ones we’ve really done before. I really wanted to start doing a set of videos on how to protect your firearms and I wanted to start off here with the Liberty HD 200 Quick Vault. And I wanted to get this for a couple reasons but the main reason was is I’ve got two small children, and the last thing I want is for my kids to get a hold of weapons that they have no business touching at this age. Every intention of teaching them when they’re older how too safely operate and be around firearms but at this point they’re just too small to even start that process yet.

I as well wanted a secure environment for my home defense handgun in my bedroom and I thought that this would be one of the best setups to go with. Heard a lot of good things about Liberty I have family members who owned Liberty safes. They just rave about them good quality, good workmanship. They’re not always the cheapest, I will say that but what I tell people in the firearms industry or in the market, who are looking at new items to get sometimes cheapest isn’t always the best. Some people don’t get that or they refuse to get it but I always say if you buy cheap you buy twice.

That has been my experience in this field of interest in my life so I want to go ahead and dive right into it and talk about this HD 200, and we’ll go ahead and move into it. Okay, so this is what the Liberty HD 200 is going to look like when you bring home from the store. Very simple to use, very simple to do. They actually include a QR code here. You can scan your smartphone or tablet.

I’ll take you right to their video online telling you all the features and benefits. As you open it up here to be your standard plastic baggie of parts silica packed, backup keys, mounting screws, instruction. This sticker was on the front before. I took it off very simple. You know, two or three steps to get in there and then it goes into everything else you know that the safe is featured with which you will need immediately or the keys. The backup keys here and you’ll need that too, actually, get into the vault itself.

Okay, so this is what it looks like out of the box. Very similar to the picture. It’s got a nice finish on. It’s a heavy-duty, it feels like its powder coated but it’s a very, it just feels rugged. It’s got a rubberized pad here. It’s got you little physical indicators. I don’t know if this is braille or this is how they do braille but it’s its very. You can feel it pitch black which numbers which okay, very positive feel feedback.

There you have four buttons. As you can see with a five combination code system in here so the baseline code is what’s plugged in here right now. And we’ll go ahead and open it. So this is the default code. This thing springs open. It’s probably hard to see with the lighting in here but it does have a led light inside.

The one thing that really made me happy about this vault was the fact that it’s padded on the interior all the way around. If you don’t mount this it’s just sitting on your nightstand and it gets knocked off the nightstand. Your guns not gonna be all marred up in it and yeah so. Pretty much it very easy to set up back. Up under here and the instruction manual once you open it with the there’s a reset button it beeps you plug in your new custom code and you go from. There’s also an option to mute the beeps. Which some people might want if they’re. In a smaller home or an apartment, and they don’t want someone to hear them necessarily getting into a vault or a. Little safe then you can mute that function as well again this is there. Single model they do make a double that. Actually is a little shelf in it’s much taller though and for my application if i can’t solve the issue. With a single handgun and there’s there’s some bigger issues at play so.

Really all i needed for the nightstand and it works for me again it’s just. Something nice that i can come home after I’ve been out all day and i need. To go ahead and take my concealed carry off just a good place for me to put it. And not have to worry about the kids or anybody else getting into it and just to give you a concept here of the size of this when you’re actually working with it I’ve gone ahead and put in my carry. Gun and my home defense gun of choice. And i put a glock 19 in here with an. Extra mag and it’s got extended mags in. It just so you can see the size at which. It takes up so there’s the glock 19 with. The light on it and the extra man so. Again pretty straightforward overall.

I’ve been impressed with it so far it feels and sounds solid this is I’m not. Sure exactly how thick this is it’s probably i would imagine in the 10 to 8. Gauge range i would be surprised if it’s much thinner than that just due to just. How solid it feels so overall I’m very. Impressed so far with the liberty hd 210. Some more liberty products in the future please subscribe please leave any comments indicated below and thanks. Again for tuning in have a great night as we wrap up this video i did want to. Share some screenshots from amazon cabala’s and liberty’s website and show you that this vault runs anywhere between 120 and 130 dollars and that there isn’t really a price advantage buying from one or the other.

Alright guys want to take a really quick. Look at the hd 100 quick vaults from. Liberty so let’s see what’s in the box. First cleaning up looks like you can get. A couple keys tubular design. Next up oh instructions those are. Important telling you how to you know how to set your code and your warranty. Information by the way you get two years on this guy please look at it just like. That’s all that’s in the box set that off to the side so whoo. That is really heavy for its size wow that’s beefy so it looks like you got your manual opening your key right. There get your tether port right there and. Then you have your known look it’s got some braille right here at the top entry. Now one thing that’s really interesting about this guys not only is it spring-loaded but you have to put five digits in this guy most of the gun volts and the bulldogs you only have to put four so this has an extra digit that you have to put in there it makes it more secure but it. Also takes a little bit longer to open it not that big of a deal but something’s you might want to know about it’s got the hydraulic ram it’s got. Plenty of padding it does have a mute. Button and the set up button is what you use for when you want to when you want. To change the code it does have a led. It looks like on the inside here and it. Also has comes with some mounting screws and the tether or the security cable so. That you can put it around things like you know your car seat or chained it to a desk or whatever you might want to do. But there you go that’s it rights there. In a nutshell now a lot to it’s got. Two holes in the back so you could screw it to something say a wall or a desk. So you know i think for the money you’re. Looking at about a hundred and twenty-five to a hundred and fifty bucks depending on where you buy it from it is. From a major manufacturer and the. Safe world i think this is a you can do. A lot of worse so it’s very nicely made i. Mean it’s really beefy it’s pretty small. Which is nice oh there’s lead as you can. See right there so it lights up when you. Enter it so you can see what you got and. Then if we take a piss allah says. Here’s a here’s my laser light training. Pistol and as you can see there’s there’s quite a bit of room although it doesn’t look like there’s a lot of room in there for big size pistols let. Me dig 91911 out of the safe, and we’ll. Take a look at it okay so let’s check. Out with a full-sized handgun what. It can do so no mag in this weapons empty weapon. So it will accept a full size handgun. Which is great there’s not a lot of room there and i doubt that you could. Get this gun in its holster in here you. Might but there’s not a lot of room here as you can see that is not a lot of. Playing their back and forth now my. Carry piece the xds fits in there. Perfectly with its holster so if it’s a small carry gun i would imagine you’d be. Able to get the holster in there you might even be able to get a knife and a flashlight or a spare mag in there but. Either way i think it serves its purpose i think it’s a nice bedside rig i think. It’s a nice car rig it’s certainly well. Made it is definitely beefy so what do i. Think about the hd 100 from liberty well. I think for the money it is kind of in. The middle i think the bulldog is a little bit. Cheaper and price and probably build construction just by a little bit though and then i think the gun vaults they’re. Lying is probably a little bit above it in build quality and certainly in price but. For the money for a bond of 150 give or. Take a few dollars i think this guy is i. Think this guy’s really built really well i mean i this is beefy it’s really. Heavy for its size you know it has. Everything you need in it has the lead it has the no-look opening as the. Spring-loaded door i think that this would serve you well whether you’re going to use it for a gun volt or not so obviously the cons are that it’s. A little small you know but that actually probably is. What it was designed to do that’s why it probably competes so well in the market you know it’s not as big as some of the gun vaults that you know say bulldog. Makes or even gun vault themselves so on. Final note on these quick access gun safes you know as a parent it’s really. Important for me that i have access or my wife has access to our firearms out. Primary defensive firearms but my. Children don’t it’s really. Important that people who shouldn’t have access don’t have access so these safes. Give you a tool that won’t break the. Bank that allow you to have your gun near you. In your car besides your bed maybe in. Your desk and you don’t have to be near your big primary safe wherever that is. And that gives you an ability to be safe. And keep them safe so as always i. Appreciate your support if you could like comment share and subscribe that would be fantastic thank you very much. As be always safe and be good.

All right everybody can you believe it’s in the lambo already it’s a middle of november time flies anyway just a quick little. About little safe i was forced to buy i. Was driving to new Hampshire i realized i still had my edc gun on me and i had to cross the Massachusetts so. A little stop at cabala’s and wound up. By bees this one instead of just a cheap. $50 lockbox i figure this is something. That can mount in my truck mounted my house believe it was $$139129 so it was. It seemed like a good value. The dimensions are 5.4 by twelve. Point four by eight point five so it’s a fairly large battery backup it’s battery. Operated with a key backup spring-loaded padded interior he’s my 365 it is my infinity as you can. Tell it fits my problem and my 365 fits. There so two guns one big one small to. Compact no issues you can put your. Valuables in their five digit. Code that you set up your program yourself it uses nine volt battery that’s inside and it’s redrilled with. A three mounting holes to be secured. Whatever you want so fairly good. Valid for the money in my opinion like i. Said I’ll probably mount in my closet and i can put when i have a. Company i can just put my home defense gun in there so it’s not lying around just a quick and dirty review liberty. Ht5 200 quid vault there’s always the. Phone picture.

There, youtube! This is just a quick review of my gun safe I’ve just bought. I don’t have a lot of firearms or a lot of stuff I need to store so it works for me. It is a Liberty Centurion 12 gun and they stay 12 guns and that’s optimistic. Let’s give you a quick shot of this safe stands about almost six feet tall I have bolted to the floor. It features this really excellent. This mechanical dial lock and this thing is smooth and it’s very high quality. I mean it’s a really high quality single handle, opens it like I said it’s Android level safe.

It’s a basic safe for the money. I mean where else are you gonna find a fireproof safe i paid $300 for it at. Lowe’s it was the floor model, so they gave it to me with four twenty-five percent off including my lowest card once you have. Your dial once you have your combination set opening is just a matter of using this latch and it opened it swings right. Open it has five locking bars that. Protrude better the flat style bar they. Are not that they’re not the round bar i. Mean i feel just too secure with these as with the round bar i mean if i were a burglar i would think that these would be just as tough to get through as a round bar I’m not a thief like i said i. Don’t know if they are the hinges on this i mean it could be a bit of a pitfall you got your hinges here on the. Outside if those are cut through i imagine that would probably be the first place i would try there are the interiors. Locking bars and this is just something i wanted to show you they don’t have they don’t they don’t retract these bars.

Right here there’re these bars it’s kind. Of hard to get a good camera angle on it but these bars don’t retract these are. Stationary bars and there’s five on this. Side as well and they just roll into. This edge right here they fit right behind this edge right here okay so if. Someone were to remove the hinge and try to remove it would this would prevent them from opening it that way and there are five, and they’re made of the same material, and they’re welded actually. They’re welded, and they come through the fan if you were to remove this carpeting. They would be mounted inside here as. Well this door is hollow I’d like to point. Out it’s removable it’s very handy i. Brought this safe weighs close to 300 pounds i brought it up the stairs. Myself i couldn’t bring it up but just that with the door attached it was too heavy and i had a commercial dolly with a 10-inch wheel inflatable wheel on it and i could not yank this thing up to stir it was just too heavy i removed the door my legs were still burning trying to press this thing up the stairs i did give it up by myself. Though but you can remove the door with. These set screws when you want to remove it watches out for these dull one these. Dull and load-bearing washers or. Bushings and they will come out and. There’s a solid steel rupp pin that holds them so it’s very solidly made and i feel very confident in this safe the. Shelving its adjustable this upper. Shelf here it has a cutaway so you can. Fit your lung guns i have a shotgun right here full-length shotgun a 28 inch. Barrel and it would fit back there but. I’d like to keep that in as close as possible for home defense needs.

There’s a little roomy. I mean I’ve got room in there for more stuff but there you basically have it yet if. You remove this shelf here removing this. Shelf here if you’re to remove it. Here’s one for your other six arms right there and this has velcro on the bottom. So it sticks right on there it’ll stick. Into place there’s room for your other guns i have it covered now use it as a padded as a shelf as a place to put stuff securely it’s its a nice safe i. Mean if you felt the density and the thickness of this material you. Would know that it’s a really well-made very solid solving made safe. Now the next shelf here I’ve got I’m. Just using it for like some ammo storage.

This shelf is removable and it removes the sley there’s some there’re pins under here that below here don’t. Now if you can see them but it mounts them out there pretty securely this. Is also removable shelf so you have a lot more many more options the bottom. One is basically just goes right to the floor i keep my long guns over on this. Side here i have a 22 inch or 20 inch. Barrel ar and a 18 inch su 16 cal tech. And a full set flint shock and i have a lot of guys without a huge gun collector i do like them this safe is ideal for my. Needs as i said i you know if you have. Like a lot of guns you have 12 guns its optimistic i think honestly look at that. Six guns max i mean the handles the. Pistol grips on this on these arms if they’re if they. Protrude if anything but roode’s past that point there the door will not close. So i mean they’re very optimistic when. They say it’ll hold twelve rifles maybe twelve 22 long rifles but the door is. Very thick as you can see this tape is. Fireproof 1200 degrees for thirty. Minutes really good bike and just shuts. Really well and then it’s locked close the closet door nobody even knows. You got it thanks you.
