The clock looks good in my hall However the were a couple of problems initally. The Second hand got hung up on the minute hand. The clock stopped until I disassembled it and bent the second hand.

The second problem is with the magnetic latch. It did not cover both magnets. I moved the strike plate but the magnets are still too weak.

Lastly, the cheap clock mechanism stopped working some of the time. It wasn't right even twice a day! I called the company, and was told to return the clock and a replacement would be sent. They sent a prepaid UPS label and I returned the clock. After UPS had notified me of the arrival of the item at the seller, they refunded my purchase price (less the shipping charge) but refused to send me another clock. The customer service representative told me to go back to Amazon and order another one (and pay shipping again).

Beware of the white anchors and screws that come with this clock. The holes for the anchor where the screw goes into is too small. Thus when you think you have finished mounting the clock to the wall; you have not. The anchors spin out of the wall from the tension caused by the screw hole on the anchor is about 1/8th of an inch too small. The end result is that you will encounter 3 really nasty holes in your wall left by the white anchors and no clock mounted to the wall. It is really a shame too because the clock itself is a nice quality for the price. This is so typical of hardware that comes with these type of clocks made in China. Best thing to do now is go to the local hardware an purchase good quality anchors and heavy duty screws that match. That is the end state. The manufacturer needs to make the requirement change of the included hardware is all to fix the problem. The instructions were crude pictures and arrows. In addition...We have had our clock for 2 weeks. It is a beautiful clock but they installed a cheap Taiwan clock mechanism and now it doesn't work properly. The second hand gets stuck. I am so disappointed because the clock itself looks like a nice value and made pretty well. Why they went cheap on the clock mechanism makes no sense at all. What good is a clock if it cannot keep time despite the fact that you can conceal a firearm in the clock. It brings attention to itself by not working. What is the point of that if you are attempting to conceal a firearm. The "DAH" factor is unbelievably stupid.

Found the clock to be just as advertised. Plenty of room for a revolver or semi. I did upgrade the anchors that came with the clock. The ones you get are a bit small. Overall, it was a good deal for the money and I would buy it again if I needed another one.

Overall, this is a very well made, solid, and attractive alternative to putting your handgun under your pillow at night, or under a table during the day. Home invasion is on the rise, and having your handgun "at the ready" is smart and necessary. Be aware though, that you are NOT able to lock this, so if you are going to keep your handgun loaded (and it is useless if you don't), you MUST mount this up and away from the reach (even from a chair) of children. Also be aware that if you are going to mount this near your bedside, the ticking of the clock, in a silent room, can be a bit annoying.

I purchased the gun clock for my husband. He was surprised and thought it was a great idea and very stylish.

There were very few surprises this Christmas so this was a nice touch.

Thanks for showing it on the "customers who bought this also bought ... "

Merry Christmas!

Octagon Gun Clock Dark Oak

Got this for my dad and he loves it!!! Looks great on the wall and you would never know that it opens up! What a great buy!!!

The clock is beautiful and holds my 9mm perfect. I noticed that the time was off and we changed batteries and it never started working again. We have it bolted to the wall so I haven't decided if I am going to send it back for a replacement or just go to Michaels and get another clock to replace the broken one.

Revision:I emailed customer support to see if they would send me just the clock mechanisim. They responded by telling me they just shipped out another clock that should arrive within 7 days and provided me a return shipping label to send the broken one back! Very Impressive!!

I recieved the clock as a birthday present. It was missing parts that were supposed to be included. I contacted Sportsman Guide and they said that I could return it, but I would have to pay shipping or they would send me a $5.00 coupon for a future purchase. I have yet to recieved it. After all of that I went to put a battery in the clock and the battery holder was cracked and would not hold the battery. I figured I would try and hot glue the piece back togetther as I didn't want to have to try and return it and go through that hassel. It worked and held the battery.The clock worked for less than an hour. I then put a new battery in it. It worked for less than an hour. Bottom line is I am very disapointed. I would NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I bought this clock for myself. I love it. It looks great on the wall. Good quality craftsmanship. I put it up high on the wall so that the kido's can't reach it and they have no idea that it holds a gun. Very good buy. The Sportsman's guide sells great products at great prices and they stand behind their products. Fit's my 1911, a small flashlight and a few spare magazines very well. I highly recommend this product.

product is very good, larger than I expected.

received product very fast. the person that

received the gift was impressed!
