Gun Safes for Sale

Gun owners have a responsibility to ensure their guns don’t end up in the wrong hands. The factors you will want to consider when selecting gun safes are protection, safety, security, and size.

Those factors are your checklist, and you will need to determine which of these you need in a safe. If you want all the factors in a safe, you look for gun safes that provide all of these factors. If you only want to keep your guns out of the hands of thieves, you will need a safe of heavy gauge steel to deter thieves. You can forego water and fire prevention. If the safety of children is your only concern, the more economical 12 gauge safes will suffice. When you have decided the features you require, the choices can be narrowed down to safes for sale that fill your need.

Factors to Look for in Gun Safes

The features that aid in preventing theft are heavy gauge steel, weight of the safe, the ability to attach the safe to a floor, and the locking mechanism.

Heavy Gauge Steel Safe

Heavy gauge steel is an important deterrent for thieves. No safe is completely burglar proof. The goal is to slow thieves up as most burglars want to run in, grab what they can, and be out within a short time. With steel, the smaller the gauge is, the thicker the steel will be. Inexpensive safes most commonly use 12 gauge steel which is easily entered with common tools.

Choose the best gauge your budget allows and, if it is within your budget, choose at least a 10 or 7 gauge steel. A 10 gauge steel gun safe can weigh 1,000 lbs. or more. Due to the weight of a gun safe, you may prefer to have multiple safes, rather than one large safe. Multiple anchored safes do have the advantage of reducing weight for movement, and decrease the chances of a thief getting all of your guns.

Safe Attachment

Attaching a safe to the floor is another safeguard to deter thieves. This will require holes to be drilled into the floor, and you will have to know how many holes, what size holes and the exact distance between them. Before you buy ensure the owner’s manual provides this information.

Use large washers on the inside of the safe around bolts to prevent thieves from simply ripping the bolts out of the bottom of a 12 gauge safe. Another tip is to attach a 4 × 4 post across the bottom of floor joists and attach the bolts through the 4 × 4 and secure with a nuts. Most homes sub-floors are made of ½ or ¾ inch plywood, and the anchors for a safe will easily pull out of this material. The stronger the anchor, the more time it will take them to succeed.

The Door & Lock

The door and lock are the point at which most burglars will attempt to gain access. Pins are used to lock down the door to the safe. One inch pins are standard in most safes and are generally adequate. Larger and more numerous pins are even better, but will increase the cost of the safe. Higher grade safes will also have pins at the top, bottom, and corners as well.

The type of lock is another factor to consider in securing a safe. Your standard lock will suffice for keeping children out of it. For thieves you need the best lock possible. Electronic locks are popular for convenient and fast access; they are also the root of most problems with gun safes. The most common concern is with batteries, which must be routinely replaced.

Mechanical dial locks last and last, but it can take time to open, a negative if you need fast access for home defense. Key locks are the easiest to use but are no competition for a skilled burglar. Biometric gun safes locks are the most secure, but also require battery power and routine replacement.

Fireproof

If you choose a fireproof gun safe, fire rating will be a critical factor to consider. The majority of today’s fire resistant safes meet basic fire protection standards, with the minimum being able to withstand a 1200º F temperature for up to 30 minutes. This means the temperature inside the safe shouldn’t exceed about 275 degrees during those 30 minutes. At higher cost, a premium safe might be rated at 1200° F for up to 100 minutes. In determining the fire rating of a safe you should consider the response time of your local or attending fire department.

Concealed Carry in The Cold

Posted on  | 0 Comments
concealed carry in the cold

You are never too old to learn, and yesterday I learned a lesson. I found that I was completely unprepared for the unexpected snow that fell leaving thousands (and reportedly hundreds of thousands) stuck on iced over highways. Unprepared, that is, from a concealed carry perspective.

Conceal Carry in Any Situation

Bundling up to withstand the frigid temperature left me with the dilemma of where to carry my pistol that provided easy access. Since I don’t wear thermals, I had to make do with some different winter accessories around my house. it was too cold to leave my coat open. In fact I had to wear two coats, a light one and a heavier one.

I wore sweat pants, plus pants, thick cotton wicking socks with leather hiking boots, a sweat shirt, two coats, and a pair of gloves. I felt like a stuffed duck, and walked about like one. My outer coat pockets wouldn’t hold my pistol. If I wore a belt holster access was delayed by two zipped coats, an ankle holster was out period, my carry isn’t a derringer (though I do have a little .38), and even if it had been, my boots would have prevented the carry.

Insulated coveralls would have kept me warm without all the layers, but I couldn’t conceal a weapon, nor could I carry a rifle around in public view without scaring people to death. My goal was to help stranded motorists, not frighten them. Besides, the zipper had broken on my coveralls. A thigh holster or possibly a shoulder holster would have worked but I have never bought one. This spawned an online investigation of holsters for a winter concealed carry, and a decision to update my winter closet to accommodate an icy Deep South.

Concealed Carry Items For Winter

  1. Concealed Carry Coats-Offer pockets designed with concealed carry pistols in mind and provide easy access. Great solution!
  2. Cargo Pants-These have pockets on the thighs, some of which are very large and deep. The ones my son wears would easily hold a full sized pistol. Most of them easily accommodate a concealed carry pistol. Personally, my arms are too short for fast access to cargo pockets.
  3. Coats with Pocket Sleeves-I can see it being difficult to access but it would be better than no access at all.
  4. Faux Pocket Coats- Coats with a false pocket that allows access to belt or shoulder weapons. Another great solution!
  5. Fanny Packs-Any well-constructed fanny pack will work, but concealed carry fanny packs are made for a weapon and provide ambidextrous access unlike a typical fanny pack. Many that I saw provide storage for extra magazines.
  6. Tactical Vests-Great as long as the coat is open. My Ranger vest would have been fine if it would have fit over my coats. I generally wear it in the woods, under an open coat in the winter. Winters are being redefined for the south this year however, and require some creativity.
  7. Hunters’ Vests- These vests are a potential possibility with their pockets. Years ago I had a hunter’s orange quilted fur lined vest with removable sleeves. Warm with deep pockets and much longer than most. It was oversized enough to wear over a coat.

GrabAGun Helps You Conceal

In my region, snow and ice are rare. We don’t get enough snow plinking to count but we do get cold. Shooting with gloves is definitely an adjustment. If you aren’t used to shooting with gloves, try fingerless gloves to start with. Be cautious of gloves, some cause slippage when trying to handle a gun.

GrabAGun has a large selection of gun holsters, including a great selection of winter options including jackets, IWB holsters, OWB holsters, and much more for your concealed carry pistol needs. We offer one of the largest inventories of guns for sale online, optics, and much more. Give us a call, we will be happy to assist you.

How to Care For Your Concealed Carry Pistol

concealed carry handgun cleaning

Cleaning Your Concealed Carry Pistol

Providing maintenance and cleaning for concealed carry pistols is not an option but a requirement. Your concealed carry pistol can’t save your life if it won’t fire and a neglected weapon can indeed let you down when you need it most. Far too many gun owners fail to clean their firearms and some never do until there is a problem. That problem can be one that ends up causing injury or even death. Just carrying your weapon can change its condition and reliability, even if you haven’t fired it since it was last cleaned.

Reliability is one of the likely factors that affected your choice in the weapon you carry, but after purchase it is up to you to provide the maintenance that sustains the reliability that you count on.

Sweat

Sweat is one of the factors that adversely affect guns. It is composed of water, ammonia, urea, salts, and sugar. Sweat will, over time cause a firearm to rust. It’s a good idea to provide a spray with a little Rem Oil and a rubdown with a cloth to lubricate and protect. Go light on the oil as it can gum up the action.

Lint

Lint and other debris from a pocket can cause a real problem in your concealed carry pistol’s reliability. The lint is especially bad when carried in a pocket or purse. The contact with the fabric of clothing, pet hair, dust, grime from the oil in your hands, and our own shedding will find its way into every crack and crevice of the weapon. Routine cleaning will keep it at bay. Using gun holsters is the best protection for your firearm. It will reduce lint and other debris, but you still have to clean and maintain your firearm.

Magazines

Those who carry a revolver don’t have to worry about a magazine. It’s amazing how many people neglect to care for the magazine; yet they also tend to accumulate lint, dirt, and dust. When you clean the gun, you should inspect, clean, and lubricate the magazine as well.

The best way to clean a magazine is to disassemble it and wipe it down. There is no universal disassembly for magazines, though many of them have a removable floor plate that allows the spring and follower to be removed. Some gun owners like to lightly rub the spring down with oil, but keep in mind oil attracts dust. I use a tiny amount on a microfiber cloth, and then go back over the spring with a good rub using a clean microfiber cloth to remove excess oil.

Check For Loose, or Damaged Parts

Most modern guns for sale can take the rigors of carry and abuse. The constant motion of carrying, being sat upon, bumped, and dropped can lead to a cracked grip or loose screws and pins. Routine inspection and providing needed maintenance will ensure your concealed carry pistol will be operable when you need it.

Cleaning Safely

The number one safety factor that gun owners must realize when cleaning and inspecting a weapon is to ensure it is unloaded. Keep in mind, even though you remove the magazine a round may still be in the chamber. Look into the chamber to ensure no round remains there. Then look into the barrel from the back side to confirm that there is no lodged round in the barrel. Do NOT look into the barrel from the front. Do not consider a gun unloaded until you have inspected the chamber as well as the barrel.

The number two cleaning safety rule is to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, treat it as if it were still loaded and keep your finger off of the trigger! It’s a sobering fact to realize that more than half of non-intentional gunshot wounds occur during activities such as cleaning, repairing, loading, and unloading guns. Be safe and don’t be a statistic.

Gun Holsters

Posted on  | 0 Comments

Gun holsters provide protection for the gun, firmly secure it, and can provide for ready access to the handgun. In choosing a gun holster, the user must consider their requirement from a holster. For example, law enforcement personnel require fast access, and secure holding to retain the weapon when taking down a perpetrator. The failure of a holster to provide this may result in severe injury or even death to the officer.
Holsters are generally extracted with one hand, requiring its construction material to be stiff thereby preventing the holsters collapse that can lead to failure for a timely extract as well as difficulty reinserting the handgun.
Individual needs must be considered with securement design. Police as well as individuals often choose a closure to prevent the weapon from being easily removed or the trigger engaged within the holster. A personal handgun in a home where children especially requires close attention to the presence or lack of one or more safety’s on the weapon, as well as consider a hooded closure or other design to prevent children from firing or extracting a holstered weapon.
Holsters also assist in protecting the firearm from dust and lint, the presence of which can cause a misfire. Another environmental factor to consider is when using carry concealed holsters is perspiration. A weapon carried close to the users body can contact perspiration, thus, a good holster that will enclose and protect the firearm is necessary.
Comfort is another consideration with carry concealed holsters. Gun holsters should be broad to break up the handguns outline beneath clothing, as well as to distribute the pressure of the weapon and holster over a larger area. Broad carry concealed holsters will prevent abrasions to the skin.
The fit of the weapon is another factor to consider. Gun holsters that are too tight are difficult to remove. Gun holsters that are too loose can allow the handgun to slip out, and depending upon the weapon, increases the odds of a misfire. An unsheathed weapon in a purse, bag, backpack or briefcase can misfire on certain handguns when items like ink pens, lipstick, mascara or other objects work their way in and depress the triggers on guns without a safety. A well-fitting holster is perhaps the most important of gun accessories you can purchase.

Choosing a Concealed Carry Pistol

Posted on  | 0 Comments

Concealed Carry Pistols

When looking for a concealed carry pistol most people think derringer. Small firearms are generally the gun of choice for concealed carry, and when used in conjunction with concealed carry holsters they are virtually undetectable.

However, some hands are simply too large to comfortably handle smaller handguns. These individuals will generally opt for an option that comfortably fits their hand without getting a finger stuck in the trigger. Many manufacturers now make smaller guns designed to offer more space for large hands. There remains a small number of individuals who are unable to comfortably, or accurately use smaller guns.

Any gun owner is best advised to choose a weapon that fits the hand comfortably and always use the best safety procedure available-practice and more practice.

Many individuals often consider trigger pull as a factor in choosing a weapon. Factory firearms have a trigger pull in the range of less than four to more than twelve pounds. The higher the trigger pull, the harder it is to depress the trigger.

An additional factor to be considered when purchasing concealed carry pistols are the firing mechanism and presence or absence of one or more safeties. A striker-fire gun when loaded is cocked and unlocked with a partially cocked striker. There is no external safety, and many influences can cause an accidental discharge such as the strap of a thumb break holster and zipper pulls can wedge into the trigger guard for example. A good quality and well-fitting holster can help to prevent this.

Other factors that can cause an accidental discharge with a concealed carry pistol are loose items in purses, briefcases, glove box or luggage. Pens, lipstick and mascara tubes are examples of items than can wedge into the trigger guard causing discharge. A striker-fire pistol unquestionably requires a quality holster to keep the trigger guard covered and prevent potentially dangerous accidental discharge. The fewer mechanical safeties on the pistol, the more danger there is of accidental discharge. A light triggered gun with no safeties must be secured in a good holster to reduce the chance of injury or death.

Buy the carry pistol factory of your choice that is a good fit to your hand and abilities made with the accessories you want, and practice every week, and not with just a magazine or two.

A concealed carry pistol is intended to provide you protection. If you are unsure of which weapon is best for you, consult a firearms instruction class that provides certified instructors for classes. Some of these classes provide an assortment of weapons for the student to ‘try out’, helping you decide which firearm is the best gun for you.

Types of Concealed Weapons Permits

Posted on  | 0 Comments

Obtaining a Concealed Weapons Permit

If you are interested in carrying a concealed handgun or other weapon in public, either on one’s person or in close proximity to others, you must obtain a concealed weapons permit. Although most people think of guns when they hear about carrying a concealed weapon (CCW), the weapon doesn’t have to be lethal. For instance, pepper spray in volume of more than 2oz. requires a concealed weapons permit in Florida. Though anyone may legally carry a smaller self-defense device hidden on their person without a concealed weapons permit.

In Texas, residents and non-residents may be issued a concealed weapons permit, which is not the case in every state. There is not a federal law specifically addressing the issuance of concealed carry permits, but all 50 states have passed laws allowing citizens to carry certain concealed firearms in public, either without a permit or after obtaining a permit from local government and/or law enforcement.

There are 4 state-regulated categories regarding the issuance of permits:

Unrestricted Concealed Carry

Unrestricted means the citizen does not need a permit to carry a concealed handgun. This is sometimes called constitutional carry. Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Rural areas of Idaho, Montana outside of city limits, New Mexico in vehicles, Vermont, and Wyoming residents are the included states in this category.

Shall-Issue Concealed Carry

Shall-Issue requires a permit to carry a concealed handgun, but where the granting of such permits is subject only to meeting certain criteria laid out in the law. Typical requirements include residency, minimum age, fingerprinting, passing a background check, attending a safety class, and others. Most states, including Texas, are part of this category.

May-Issue Concealed Carry

May-Issue requires a permit to carry, and the granting of such permits is partially at the discretion of the local authorities. It’s different from shall-issue in that the burden for proof for justifying the need of a permit rests with the applicant, and not necessarily the authority. States in this category are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Guam, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island.

No-Issue Concealed Carry

The last category is No-Issue. This means that only with very limited exceptions, no one is permitted to carry a concealed handgun or weapon in public. American Samoa, District of Columbia, and the United States Virgin Islands are some on the no-issue list.

Concealed Handgun License Classes

Posted on  | 0 Comments

To obtain a Concealed Handgun License (CHL), a person must enroll and finish a CHL certification class. What should you expect from CHL classes? In Texas, law requires a course of at least 4 hours, which includes many different classroom topics as well as handgun proficiency qualification at a shooting range.

CHL classes may include these topics: – Safe handling and storage of firearms – Use of force and lethal force – Handgun use – Non-violent dispute resolution – Civil liability, range commands and proficiency preparation – Concealment techniques – Eligibility, suspension, revocation, and renewal requirements – And other topics

The type of gun you can use for the range qualification is a semi-automatic of at least .32 caliber or a revolver of at least .38 caliber. You can legally carry either one of these after obtaining your CHL. You must also apply to get your fingerprints registered aside from any CHL classes.

The range qualification consists of firing 20 rounds in standing position from 3 yards, 20 rounds from 7 yards, and 10 rounds from 15 yards. The target is a B27 silhouette. If you do not pass the range qualification testing, you may take it up to 3 times before you are classified as failed. You must have 50 rounds of ammunition for each attempt.

You must be at least 21 years of age and not a convicted felon to obtain a license and it is good for 5 years. There is also a discount if you are 60 years old or older.

You will need to bring your license application if you applied online, a handgun that is in working condition, 50 rounds of ammunition, two magazines for a semi-automatic handgun (one is ok), ear protection, eye protection (or eye glasses), and clothing that is suitable for a shooting range and weather conditions.

Choosing The Right Gun Holster

Posted on  | 0 Comments

Gun holsters provide protection to the handgun, as well as providing a ready access to the weapon while securing its retention. The individual’s needs must be considered when choosing gun holsters as access and security are often contradictory. Achieving the correct balance between these two factors is an important consideration when choosing a defensive handgun holster, where failure to access the weapon quickly or loss of the weapon due to insufficient retention could result in serious injury or death to the user.

The design of gun holsters have improved providing a better fit for the carry location using modern ergonomics and providing ambidextrous holsters for users.

Modern holsters are broken down into four broad categories by use: duty holsters worn by police officers and security personnel; tactical holsters worn by military, security and law enforcement personnel; concealed carry holsters worn by plainclothes law enforcement officers and private individuals; and sporting holsters worn by competition shooters and hunters.

Specialty Holsters

The improved design of most gun holsters of today include ambidextrous holsters for left and right handed draw, provide for a smooth draw with contoured and ergonomic design for the best fit and comfort. Holster options include many popular varieties including ankle holsters, paddle holsters, belt holsters, inside the pants holsters, pocket holsters, shoulder holster systems comprised of cross chest carry and tuxedo shoulder harness systems with padded load bearing, sleeveless shirt holsters and thumb drive holsters. Other choices include bedside table, magnetic and fanny pack holsters among others.

Concealed Carry Gun Holsters

Concealment holsters, also called concealed carry holsters are designed to be easily concealed, unobtrusive, lightweight and comfortable. Concealment holsters are designed to be worn under clothing and is positioned close to the body, and designed to distribute the pressure across a wider area and prevent discomfort of the skin, as well as to help break up the outline of the weapon under clothing. For pocket holsters often feature a nap, or rougher surface on the external side to hold the holster in place when drawing the pistol.

Sporting & Hunting Holsters

Sporting holsters cover a wide spectrum of styles: maximum access for fast draw shooting, superbly adjustable holsters used in IPSC and pin shooting, classic holsters used in cowboy style shooting, high retention, maximum protection holsters used for handgun hunting, and simple holsters used to hold a handgun while out plinking. Like any sporting equipment, sporting holsters have evolved to maximize the benefits of the game with game rules observed; as a result the competitive sports have the most specialized holsters.

Holsters for hunting can be unique if they are designed to carry large handguns or to make allowances for telescopic sights. Large handguns are often carried in holsters that are slung across the shoulder.

Choosing a Pistol for Self Defense

Posted on  | 0 Comments

Choosing a self-defense pistol that you will be satisfied with is a lot like buying a car. There are many factors to consider and especially if you have any physical limitations such as arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. If you are shopping for a weapon to carry on your person this guide can assist you in making an informed decision.

First, consider how and where you may use it. Will you carry it in a pocket holster, shoulder holster, belt holster or in a purse? While there are smaller guns ideal for concealed carry pistols, some people simply can’t handle them flawlessly. Those with larger hands and fingers especially prefer a larger gun.

Next, do you have disabilities that affect your hands? If so, keep in mind, the more recoil a pistol has, the more it’s likely to adversely affect a person with hand problems use of it, and higher recoil will affect their accuracy and comfort.

For example, if you have carpal tunnel syndrome the number of shots you are able to fire with accuracy will most likely be limited. In the event of a situation of grave threat of serious injury or death from a violent offender, accuracy as well as the number of well-placed shots you can fire off matters. This said, the less recoil a pistol has the more shots you will be able to fire with practiced accuracy when you have physical limitations.

Practice at the range is another consideration, ammo for larger caliber weapons generally cost more.

Any gun owner does well to practice often. If you are buying your first handgun, or if it’s been a while since you used one, take the time to learn from a certified professional instructor. Learning proper form and procedure will not only improve your accuracy, but will provide safety and legal considerations. If you use a gun incorrectly and lack accuracy it is of no use to you and can endanger yourself as well as anyone within range. Practice is the key to accurate and well placed shots with any gun.

9mm Pistols Are Generally Cheaper to Shoot

Ideally, a pistol that costs less to shoot, is more easily concealed, comfortable to hold, and provides reduced recoil is going to be a better fit and provides greater accuracy. In addition, you should consider the capacity.

For these reasons many experienced shooters prefer the 9mm pistol with its 15 to 17 shot capacity over the 5-8 shot capacity of revolvers and larger caliber weapons. It has the added bonus of being an effective pistol, with sufficient power to stop an attacker, especially when loaded with hollow point ammo. Most 9mm pistols use gun magazines, providing for a faster reload if necessary by carrying a spare.

Many gun enthusiasts recommend a good brand of 9mm pistol for self-defense due to its general reliability, reduced recoil providing improved accuracy and comfort, as well as an effective firearm for self-defense.

Self Defense Pistols at GrabAGun

Ultimately, choosing a pistol is an individual choice, your best bet is to use a professional and certified instructor on the range with a variety of options to determine which pistol is best suited for your personal needs.

Types of Gun Holsters

Posted on  | 1 Comments

Ready for a Gun Holster?

You’ve finally bought the gun you’ve had your eye on for awhile. Now it’s time to think about accessories. The first thing aside from ammunition should be a gun holster. Think about your needs first and if you need ready-access, or concealment. Then look around at the vast array of materials, placements, and types there are available. Above all, you want your gun holster to be comfortable and sturdy, and it’s hard to tell until you’ve tried it.

Typically, you’ll find gun holsters made out of leather, plastic, or nylon. Leather holsters are very traditional, durable, hold their shape, but are also susceptible to moisture. Plastic holsters are lightweight, waterproof, durable, and are generally quick to draw from, but some may find them uncomfortable. Nylon or ballistic nylon are the most inexpensive, are easy to clean, and flexible, but may take on wear easier than the other choices.

Gun holsters can be worn almost anywhere on the body, so keep in mind what your use will be. Here is a brief list:

  • Ankle holsters: made ideally for lightweight, smaller guns
  • Inside the waistband (IWB): some offer “tuckable” varieties where you can tuck your shirt between the clip and the holster
  • Inside the Pocket: best for smaller, thinner guns
  • Belt/Outside the Waistband (OWB): most traditional placement, think westerns and law enforcement
  • Thigh, Drop Leg, Tactical: worn outside the pants, not for concealment
  • Shoulder holsters: a harness that crosses your back and through the arms. Usually has a magazine carrier on the other side of the gun
  • Pancake holsters: look like they have wings. Worn close to the body at the waist
  • Fanny pack: worn around the waist, usually has a pouch and other pockets to carry IDs, money, etc.
  • Bellyband: made of a stretchy material, incorporates a “universal fit” holster. Can be worn around chest, waist, or hips
  • Specialty: this can include underwear with built-in holsters, including bras and undershirts
