I started thinking about looking for a different door insert with different compartments or one that was entirely velcro or molle, so that I could put whatever I wanted up on it however I'd like and could be re-arranged as needed.

I'm also thinking about those things that slide onto a shelf and the handgun attaches below the shelf by sliding the barrel onto a rod. Does anyone have those? How well do those work? Does the handgun come off the rod easily without pulling the rod thing off the shelf with it? I wonder if the rack like TAM linked might be better.

I have used these. They work best for larger caliber pistols with longer barrels. My G17 or 1911 are super easy to get on and off. The LCP and G43 are trickier to line up the barrel and rod. I might even call the LCP a pain. I like them a lot for the bigger pistols. They are tolerable but not easy for the smaller ones. The hangers don't pull off of the shelf but occasionally will pull back from their starting point. I don't know that I would want my go to safe pistol hanging on one. In the heat of battle with pressures and tensions you could possibly bring the hanger out with the pistol.

Not hot enough to hurt guns but hot enough to melt the caess. Salvageable but the labor cost to remove and repair exceeds the guns value. put the plastic cases in a close, attic, garage, etc. and use pistol racks in the safe. Some basic rubber coated wire pistol racks or rod designs as above will more than quadruple your pistol capacity over using the plastic boxes.

Beiruty- can't you are least organize those by caliber, action type, make or model??

Do those rods come is sizes small enough for .22 handguns? I now have three and the shortest one is a 4.5 inch barrel.

As for the title of the thread I don't belive there is such a thing.
In fact, if I someday win the lottery, my new house will have an area bigger than my present house for nothing going but gun and ammo storage. But for now I have to figure out a way to sneak in a larger safe.

Does Mrs. Jusme own firearms? Does she store them with yours?

My ammo and AR get stored in the safe with dads. I only get 1 shelf (why don't we have a crying face to put here?) So I totally get the space limitations. My pistols, I only have 2...so far...almost never go in the safe.

Will this one do?

I think if I got that safe I should make sure there's also enough room in there for me to sleep.

Right now she only has one handgun, it only goes in the safe if we are going out of town. I could get a few more handguns in there but no more long guns.

It's good that it's yellow, that way ya'll will be able to spot my new domicile. I hope it has plumbing fixtures in it.
