The Springfield Armory limited-edition Vaultek LifePod is a compact, thin and fantastic-looking lockbox.

The LifePod is built out of an impact-resistant proprietary material blend that is strong and lightweight.

Secure Security?

The compression latch hinges are very well made and quite strong.

For me, that is acceptable since the sole purpose of any lockbox is security and not quick access.

The latches main purpose is to create that watertight and airtight seal to keep everything dry and safe inside.

The keypad consists of a four-button design that can be set to accept a four-to-eight-digit code.

The keypad is more like a touch screen than buttons, though.

You also get a key backup and a micro-USB backup in case the battery dies.

The micro-USB will power the LifePods keypad if you do not have access to the keys.

The thought put into all the methods to open this lockbox is incredible.

I always travel with my Springfield EMP 4, an extra magazine and a knife.

The LifePod makes ample room for it all.

You get square foam cubes that can be removed to outline your pistols shape if you want.

It is best suited for a more compact handgun due to the dimensions of the LifePod.

A full-size 1911 will not fit.

I suspect many of you want more of a carry gun anyway especially when traveling.

The simple answer is, yes.

Handgun safe in luggage

I wanted a lockbox that I could trust during travel.

Something I can trust to keep unauthorized people out.

I needed something that would not rust or break if it got wet or took some abuse.
