Pistol Safe

I'm looking for a pistol safe that will hold 4 to 6 pistols. I'm not a rifle or shotgun guy, so I just need something to secure my pistols. I'm looking at this one, but would love input on better units/deals from our members here. Thanks

UPDATE: Pretty bad reviews for this one online, so I need better recommendations more than ever!

My Wife and I picked up this one (or one very similar) at Wal-Mart http://www.sentrysafe.com/products/prod ... p=CartView" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Works good. We were wanting one only for "a couple guns" then got to thinking all the other stuff we should lock up.
This is good sized for 5-6 guns, spare mags, ammo, and other important stuff, like birth certs, checkbooks, etc.

Teamless knows I am a Costco nut but here's a really nice safe that will accommodate a good number of handguns. It's similar to the larger safes you see but half-size and looks to be a really good deal to me for $299.

For quick access I use a Honeywell safe that I have modified to hold 4 pistols (added one since this picture was taken). I picked up the safe at Big Lots for 40 bucks I think, and spend about 4 or 5 bucks on the foam if I recall correctly.

Everything else stays in a big 36 gun safe. The little one is for carry pistols which is accessed every day.

Thanks all. I was going to Cabela's today and found this online.

They didn't have it in stock in the store, but in stock in the system, so I ordered one. No shipping charges. I can pick it up in 5 days. My wife said, "But then you have to come back to here." With a straight face and semi-frown, I said, "Yeah." :lol: BTW, they are overloaded with pistol ammo at very good prices!

I have a Sentry safe as well http://www.sentrysafe.com/products/prod ... p=CartView" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Holds my Glock and HK and extra room for some ammo.

I also recommend a Dehumidifier. I have the Remington version http://www.cabelas.com/p-0034792227686a.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

What are the dimensions (approx.) of the dehumidifier? Thanks.
