This handgun safe from Stealth is a great option for anybody that is looking for a pistol box to keep their firearm safe and secure. Externally the safe weighs 15 lbs. and measures 9 inches in height by 9 inches in width and 12 inches in diameter.
The box is quite affordable and offers a nice set of features which make it extremely worth the asking price. It is a medium sized safe that can hold up to five of your handguns if you have that many.
You can place three handguns in there in the ready position and can also place two more lying flat. The ready position allows you to quickly retrieve your weapon and be ready to attack if threatened by an intruder.
This hanger safe from Stealth offers you a keypad which you can program to create a personalized combination to ensure you are the only person with access to the safe. There is also a key included so you have a backup way to enter the safe if you ever need to bypass entry with a combination.
Features
- The Stealth Handgun Hanger Safe is made with solid steel to make it extra durable. It also has tabs that help to increase its ant-theft capabilities.
- It is a quick access safe with ready access hanging so your guns can be retrieved and ready at a moment’s notice. It weighs 15 lbs. and measures 9 x 9 x 12. The safe has a maximum capacity of five handguns with 3 hanging and 2 lying flat.
- The door is spring loaded and drops down and there is an interior light so your visibility is clear even in the dark. There is a silent mode so you can easily open the door without a sound.
- The interior is lined with high density foam that is scratch resistant along with scratch resistant rods so your firearms will be safe once inside. This is great for your other valuables as well if you use the safe for storing more than just your guns.
- The door is spring loaded and opens down so you can have direct and full access to your hanging firearms. The door is made of two pieces of steel that are 3/8 inches thick. In the back of the safe you will find two shelves where you can store 2 small clips or 1 large clip.
- Because of the spring loaded design of the door it will quickly drop after the correct combination is entered onto the keypad. Since the door is made from heavy steel the manufacturers thought it was necessary to add a reducer to the door so that it will not slam into the surface beneath it.
- The door also features a bit of a recessed design so that it goes into the frame a bit. The thickness of the door and the strength of the latch also ensure that the door is nowhere near easy to pry open.
- The electronic keypad on the device will accept 6 digit combinations and at the press of the initial button it will illuminate with blue.
- The safe also provides you with perceptible sound feedback so you know if the code was correct or not. You have the option to turn off this audible feedback if needs be.
- The safe comes with four holes which can give you the opportunity to bolt it down permanently if you would like. If you don’t want to affix this permanently anywhere you can use the included security cable to secure it to one spot. There is also the battery safely on the inside so you don’t have to worry about anyone being able to tamper with it.

Comparison
- When comparing safes within this price range there is none that has the same capacity and the ready draw storage hangers. You will find other safes with similar features but at a different price. This safe is larger than others which may have biometrics but since it doesn’t then you should consider another one.
- If biometrics is not too important and capacity is more then you will definitely get a better deal by purchasing this one. If you only have one firearm then you may not need all the space this has to offer but otherwise it would be a good idea to get this one as it offers value for money and can be used to store more than just your firearms.
Verdict
If you are considering a safe for storing your personal firearm then you can definitely get this Stealth Handgun Hanger safe. It is made with sturdy material and it has a capacity of five guns and even can store a large clip or 2 small clips along with the firearms.
You can permanently bolt the safe down so it can’t be moved which we think is a great idea or you can use the included safety cable to keep it in place if you wish to have a less than permanent place for the home of your safe.
