Canadian Tire has them on special this week.. $19.99 for a small key/keyless safe (via programmable electronic code). You have the option of either using the provided keys (2) or to temporarily close the key hole and use the electronic keypad (however, the key can still be used in case the batteries die or what not).
I picked up two for myself today, this tiny little thing could fit almost anywhere... including a wall or office-style desk or what not. Here are some pics to put things into perspective:
Nice & soft padding so that your gun doesn't get scratched (safe comes with it):
Walther P-38 inside safe (still some room left for extra mags):
Safe closed/locked with P-38 inside:
I tested this with several of my pistols and all my 9mm automatics fit. The best fit is on the Norc M213 (aka Tokarev TT-33), the Walther goes in no problem but has to be positionned as pictured. My Glock 17's grip is too fat, therefore the pistol has to be put 'standing vertically' in order for the safe door to close, although it still fits in there quite well. I'm pretty sure a Colt .45 would fit as well. None of my two 6"-barrel revolvers fit, however (too long).
Anyway, I think that it's an awesome buy for 20$. You're in full compliance of the law and can now store your restricted semi-auto in a tiny, easily accessible safe. Due to its' size, you can hide this little bugger almost anywhere, thus making your handgun(s) much harder to find & steal. I tested this safe several times and the keypad works flawlessly. Despite the cheap price, it doesn't feel that bad actually. The entire body & door are made of steel (not heavy gauge, but sufficient for it's size & purpose - the steel is as thick as any standard $150 gun cabinet, I'd say). Also, It has no exposed hinges which is another big plus.
Note: if you were to stack handguns vertically, I'm sure you could at least fit 3 or 4 in there. If you plan on buying this, make it quick... as both my local CT's were sold out and I bought mine at a third CT which had only 3 left... The special has been on since Friday. Happy hunting!
