I bought a Stack-On box that opens with a key. But I hated having the key on my key-ring. Just the thought that anyone could grab my keys and open the box while I'm in the shower or somewhere else.
So I bought one of those combination lockboxes specifically made for keeping a spare key in, and bolted it to the wall beside the lock-box.
The only key is kept in there. And only I know the combination.

Got a small keypad entry one at walmart. Key access if the batteries die or you are forgetful. 
Does it ever have problems reading your print? Do you ever have to try it multiple times?

I own an ALS Safe that I bought at a Locksmith shop and it is digital keyless entry. the good thing about it is if the batteries die the compartment is on the outside.
I would say it opens about 98% to 99% of the time on the first try with any given fingerprint. I have never, ever had it fail to open on the second attempt. Each attempt takes less than 5 seconds (closer to 3 seconds) to complete. Be sure to scan your prints in in a "relaxed" (don't press your finger on the scanner too hard) state, and keep the reader clean. It really does work well!

I have a Dac handgun safe.
It comes with a baseplate that you can attach to where ever you want and you can get extra ones to put in your vehicle. It has four "punch keys" and a key override. You can decide on 3-6 presses of the buttons in numerous combinations to open it. If fits nicely beside your bed
If you have more than two handguns, I would look elsewhere. I bought mine specifically for the being beside the bed. It comes with a small plastic shelf so you can have other things in there.
I got a good price from Wanstalls.
Happy Shopping!

Oh be very careful with that safe from Canadian Tire.. The word Safe is used very loosely in the description of those. More like lock box.
Checkout youtube. There are at least 3 very simple ways to open that safe without the combination (or master combination). This link has a youtube video in the reviews on how to open these.

Yes I posted that review cause I originally bought that safe to store my handgun in. It went back.
The safe you linked to is just a larger version of the one in my link.

Those Canadian tire safes are a joke.
Take a look at the override key. It's the same style as the lock on a file cabinet. What is referred to as a "disc-tumbler" lock. They are by far the easiest locks on the planet to pick. A child can do it.
I have seen some others with a "tubular lock" like is seen on vending machines. These locks are infinitely more difficult to pick. If you see one with a tubular lock, that is the one you want.
