This is easily among the finest personal biometric gun safes on the market. The LockSAFE PBS-001 is everything that a fingerprint reading, quick access handgun safe should be. This model touts an extremely accurate print reader with exceptionally low FAR and FRR scores, meaning, if you have rightful access, you can count on it, and if you don't, you're not getting in.
I'm serious too. You're not getting in. The body of this little beast is constructed with 9 gauge steel. For those of you unfamiliar with the magnitude of that rating, 9 gauge thickness rivals premium gun safes 1500 lbs and $5000 more expensive. If anchored properly, this is one 21 lb little number, you're going to have a tough time breaking into. Fear not, however. You the owner can count on this safe to grant you, and up to 10 additional users access when they need it most.
If you're looking for a biometric gun safe built with incomparable reliability, look no further than the LockSAFE PBS-001
In the world of biometric gun safes, the Barska is a no frills, right down to business, hardcore mother. Other than the rapid access and unique security identifier that it employs through biometric technology, one of its most distinguishing features is its space efficient design. While its small enough to easily fit under a night stand, or tucked underneath the bed for no look access, it's roomy enough to comfortably fit any virtually any combination of multiple pistols, extra ammunition, flash lights, and any additional miscellaneous valuable that you want to keep secure.
The Barska model can also be easily mounted for additional security. Speaking of which, security through rapid access can be granted for nearly any responsible member of your household - up to 30 of them! Yep - its scanner is equipped to recognize 30 different fingerprints. At just under $200, the price is extremely competitive for such a piece of technology driven security. Through its simple design, and streamlined functional dependability, you can rely on the Barska biometric safe to get you armed when you most need it.
This little five pound beauty can pack a whole lot more punch than it may lead you to believe. The GunVault Microvault utilizes biometric technology to provide superior quickness, convenience, and peace of mind all in a small package that can fit virtually anywhere. At nearly 11" long and 2" deep, the foam lined Microvault can easily contain a full frame pistol like the time tested Colt 1911 45 ACP or a high cap ergonomic Springfield XD plus an accompanying magazine.
It allows for the storage of up to 30 fingerprints, should you want to scan in multiples or include other members of your household, and the system recognizes the natural change of your pattern over time. Just to make you feel a little more like James Bond, the GunVault Micro allows features a slick audible confirmation when you successfully open the safe or fail to deliver. As entertaining as this is, I'd recommend switching to "stealth mode" at night, disabling the audio. The safe also includes a safety lockout feature which prevents anyone from accessing the safe after too many failed attempts. If you're serious about home defense, and short on space, you couldn't ask for a better product than the GunVault Microvault biometric gun safe.
A biometric gun safe technically refers to any safe which can be opened through the use of a fingerprint scanner. Thus they are often also referred to as fingerprint reading safes, as well as a slew of other variations. Though they're often a popular lock option on large, full size gun safes like the Browning Platinum equipped with the S&G combination finger reader/keypad, they're most popularly associated with personal bedside style handgun safes like the GunVault Multi Vault.
Though traditional heavy frame gun safes certainly serve their purpose, they aren't terribly practical in a pinch. Say for instance, your spouse shakes you in the middle of the night to bring to your attention the voices down stairs. Scary stuff right? Well, having a split second access to a firearm within arm's reach certainly helps take a little bit of the edge off. Most large 1000 lbs steel safes like the aforementioned Browning model are typically kept in the basement, or at the very least outside of the bedroom. Not to mention they take significantly longer to open and find the gun you're looking for. So what good will that do you in a situation where every second matters. Biometric gun safes make it easy for you to safely secure your firearm from your children, and have it ready in your hand when the time comes to defend them.
When you initially configure your fingerprint safe, you'll scan the finger that you'd like to use into the system for recognition. From this point forward, every time someone runs their finger over the scanner, the system employs a complex algorithm to match the print in question against your original pattern. If it's a match, the door swings open, and you're in. If it doesn't recognize the pattern, it stays locked and secure. Depending on the lockout threshold of the safe, there may be anywhere from three to five failed attempts before the safe rejects any further attempts for a predetermined period of time (usually around 15-30 minutes).
One wonderful feature of many biometric safes, particularly higher end models is that they allow for the storage of multiple fingerprints. This allows the potential for you as well as any other responsible adult in your household to access the contents should you choose to make it available. Even if you don't have anyone you're willing to share access with, you can scan in your individual fingers for redundancy. You never know when one arm, hand, or finger isn't free.
Biometric technology has come a long way even in the past couple years, allowing for more accurate and reliable systems, as well as a cheaper price for us, the consumers. There's no replacement for a good alarm system, tight locks on the doors and windows, and good common sense, but when all else fails, you may be the forced into the last line of defense; utilize a biometric gun safe to ensure that you have the tools you need the second you need them.
