Amazon.com Product Description

Keep your carry weapon from falling into unauthorized hands--especially your children's--with the Secure-It handgun storage safe. The safe, which fits revolvers and full-size semi-automatic handguns, keeps your weapon close at hand but still safely out of harm's way. You can mount the safe pretty much anywhere, including under the seat in your car or truck or at home in a compact space. As an alternative, you can hide the safe in a purse or briefcase if you know you'll be on the move. And wherever you go, you can rest assured that you'll be the only one who can get inside.

The safe acts like a mobile bank vault, with a heavy-duty, 21-gauge steel construction and a 1,500-pound test security cable that attaches to any fixed object. The 1-inch-thick interior memory foam, meanwhile, provides a snug, customized fit for your gun, including J- and K-frame revolvers (up to a 4-inch barrel) and full-size semi-autos like the 1911. Designed to meet all TSA airline firearm guidelines, the safe measures 9-1/2 by 1-3/4 by 6-1/2 inches (W x H x D) and comes with two keys for the quarter-turn lock.

5.0 out of 5 stars I had to break into mine, let me tell you about it., August 13, 2009

key lock version.

I recently locked myself out of my place. I had previously put a spare house key in the "secure it" in my truck. I keep a spare truck key in my wallet so getting to the truck was no problem. the problem was that i did not put a spare safe key on my key ring, so instead of sitting outside in my truck for 10 hours waiting for the apartment complex folks to show up to work, or paying maybe a hundred to get into my place, i decided to break into my safe.

i tried to use my leatherman to cut the cable but that did not work out well, i stripped the plastic coating and cut a few strands but not good enough. i only got halfway through the cable. i tried to turn the lock with the flathead portion of the screwdriver. i shredded the interior parts of the lock, but it would not budge. i then used my leatherman to break into the side along the seam. i used the flathead screwdriver part to pry a side open. i attacked for several minutes but the leatherman could only do but so much. however i was able to flex the metal enough to create a gap. then i got the idea to use my vehicle's crowbar. i worked for some time more. the interior side piece (a tack(?) welded piece of metal that happens to be on both sides) eventually popped loose, but remained vertical inside the safe so i could not insert the crowbar all the way across. eventually i popped the safe open and got my house keys.

this all took me 45 minutes.

pluses.

--the lock portion held up under my attack using a flathead
--the interior sidewalls prevented me from getting deeper inside with the crowbar

minuses.

--needs a thicker cable (i went to Lowes and made one using laminated 1/8 in cable, i think this one is 3/32nd).
--needs better welding. the spot welds are weak.
--the locking hasp eventually popped. i mean, it had that appearance as if a tubular piece of pottery had just broken off of a base it was attached to. needs a better weld.

as a lesson, do not leave any tools in your car that will make it easier for someone to break into your safe. (yeah, a no brainer, but the crowbar part escaped me).

update 10 Dec 11:

there is an easier way to get a thicker cable and it just occurred to me. buy one of those laptop cable locks to substitute for the issued cable. you should still be able to run the wire thru itself and you can place the locking portion inside the box. this would be a lot easier than buying a swagging(?) tool, wire, and hoping you get it right. after all, it'd be thicker and of a desirable length where that you could still secure the cable under your seat and still bring it up to your lap to operate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best portable safe around., May 3, 2007

I have used this safe in many locations including my car and plan to buy another for my second vehicle. This isn't a 400 lb gun safe or as technically advanced as the GunVault, but it surely does the job. I have used it in motel rooms to secure valuables when a room safe was not available and did not have any problems. It is made well and is a bargain for the price.

The previous reviewer who left a single star review stated that this would be easy to break in to. I seriously doubt it. If you secure the cable to something secure in your car, it would take a pair of bolt cutters to remove it - don't know many car thieves carrying those around. Chances are your average car thief will have a screw driver to pry things open and remove your stereo. This is 21 gauge steel people, you'd have to have a vice and multiple long screwdrivers or mini-crowbars to pry this sucker open. For an average car thief, this is too much work and would take to long for a smash and grab. Make sure you attach it to something secure!

Love the product, can't wait for my second to arrive!

Here's a little more info about the safe:

A handgun storage safe that fits in a bag, under your vehicle seat or in a briefcase. Memory foam holds gun securely in place. Meets TSA airline firearm guidelines. Constructed of heavy-duty 21-gauge steel. Comes with a 1,500-lb. test security cable.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Frills Security, January 3, 2007

There is no "one" solution to securing a handgun with the exception of a vault, but this little box makes me feel a little better when I need to leave my pistol in my vehicle. It provides safe, secure storage and is not too big or too small. And the "Secure-It Handgun Storage Safe" is very well made with a professional finish and top quality securing cable. You'd play hell ripping one of these things from an automotive seat rail, and even if you did it might take some work to open the safe. This is also an excellent place to store your registration too.
