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 stars

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. 5 stars

This product is well-made and works as described. It would be nice if a keyless version were available (i.e. with a push-button combination lock). 4 stars

This thing is sturdier than I expected. It appears to be made of powder coated steel, with a decent lock (2 sided key). I like that it comes with security cable, and you don't need to spend more $$$ to buy that separately.

The only "wish list" I could think of for this unit are:

1 - A push-button lock that requires a key to open, but just pushing in the spring-loaded lock to secure the box. Not a biggie.

2 - A security cable slot on the other side of the box. As supplied, the cable fits in a slot on one side of the box. There is no slot if you want to run the cable in through the other side.

3 - Some quick & dirty instructions on how to secure the box to your vehicle, for the users who need them. No instructions were provided.

As to this thing being easy to break into, I doubt it. Today, I used a Dremel tool with abrasive cutting disc to cut a cable slot in the other side of the box. It was NOT easy going. On either of the long sides of the box is an extra sheet of thick steel (approx 0.05-0.07" thick). When added to the already significant wall thickness, this was not simple to cut through, even with the Dremel tool. This steel reinforcement would make it MUCH harder to twist or pry the box open. Yes, if you cut the aircraft cable (?portable Dremel tool with cutting disc?), take the box home, you could chop open the hinge side of the box with your Dremel, but that's much more work than your average crack-head thief wants to hassle with.

For a fairly small amount of money, you can secure firearms in your vehicle much better than just stashing them in the flimsy glove box. 5 stars

I would easily be able to rip this box open. I refuse to put a 600 dollar hand gun in a piece of garbage like this. Any criminal with a little hand strength could easily get into this box quickly. 1 star
