The Vline Compact Keyless Gun Storage Security Locker is a sturdy metal safe equipped with many great features. While the safe is considerably smaller than many handgun safes on the market, the safe offers enough interior space (for both compact and standard sized firearms) that give enough room for additional magazines, etc.In addition to the sturdiness and convenience in size, the Vline Compact comes equipped with a simplex style lock. Personally, I find the simplex style locks the most reliable mechanical lock in providing both speed, security, and reliability. Not only is the mechanical system far more reliable than an electronic safe system, but the code style lock is simple enough to open in the dark for an emergency, yet secure enough to keep others from gaining access to your firearms. One feature I would appreciate in an updated version would is the additional steel backing behind the interior mechanics of the simplex lock much like the newer Vline Brute. (The Brute would be a much more recommended option if you are looking to store more than one firearm.)In the rear corner of the safe are two holes for either mounting the safe to an object such as furniture, a car seat, etc., or for the ability to slot certain cables through the safe for storing devices such as hard drives.Overall, I would strongly recommend this safe to new handgun owners who are looking for a reliable safe. This is great for room placement or safe travelling.

Just wanted to take a minute to leave a review on the V-Line gun storage security. I received the box and was excited to try it out. We bought two of them. Right off the bat you can see the build quality was excellent. The knob is responsive and the buttons have good tension. You know everything works right out of the box. The inside of the safe has padding, so your gun is not going to just be rattling around.The real test is the ease of use. We purchased the safes with this type of locking mechanism to avoid the need to change batteries or have a spare key lying around waiting to get lost. I must say that I was impressed. The instructions inside are very clear and setting a new code is simple. The default code even demonstrates how many combination possibilities there are, For a safe that is so simple to use, it has a good number of features that will secure your firearm.My only caution for anyone looking to purchase this for a full size gun with any extended magazine is to go one size larger than the compact version. Everything will fit, but just a little tight. I love the compact size, so I made it work. This compact box is a pleasant surprise. It fits perfectly in all my drawers, so it gives me many options if I choose to mount this safe.This is definitely a great price for the product. Less expensive safes just don't have the conveniences that the V-Line Compact Security box does. I am realy happy with the built quality and the ease of use.

I went from a GunVault, which I had for a couple years, to the V-Line. The GunVault worked for a while and then it started "eating" batteries. And there was no warning when the batteries died. In other words, in an emergency (God forbid) there was no access to the handgun! (I contacted GunVault and offered to send the unit in for repairs, which I was willing to pay for. GunVault indicated that they did not repair products and I'd have to buy a new one. Not the best customer service.)What I like about the V-Line:* No batteries! Entirely mechanical, so always accessible.* Compact size.* Able to attach a cable and lock.* Easy to change combination.A couple minor dislikes:* The locking mechanism is not padded, so conceivably the contents could be scratched if the unit were shaken or jostled.* The handgun (Glock 19) only fits in one direction due to the locking mechanism's location. This is a trade-off for the unit's very compact size.Overall, very happy with the product.

Lock works great. No key or batteries is a benefit.
