Frankly, secure storage with ready access is one of those evergreen challenges for the defensive handgunner.

When the unit is unlocked, the spring-assisted tray slides out and the handgun is ready for access.

A nice feature is the addition of two USB-A ports located on the back of the unit.

This gives you a handy spot to charge your devices.

The digital clock face assists in this.

Initial impressions were positive, so I loaded the safe into the truck and headed to the range.

Times ranged from 1.92 to 2.3 seconds for the first shot to strike the target at 7 yards.

One could undoubtedly work those times down with additional practice.

The time with the bracelet was slightly slower at 2.6 seconds, which may seem surprising at first blush.

Also, there are times and places where on-body carry is less practical.
