Hayman Safe Minuteman Quick-Access Safe

During a forced entry, when seconds count, you may not have time to get to and open a standard gun safe before the threat is inside the building. But the novel design of the Minuteman Quick-Access personal defense safe provides immediate access to loaded firearms in your bedroom, living room, foyer, or hallway (or anywhere else where you might want quick access to your firearms) while securing the guns safely.

The safe mounts discretely between standard wall studs and features a top-lit electronic lock and can be upgraded with a biometric lock system. Once the code (or fingerprint) is activated, the safe is unlocked and the door tilts out (opening from the top). Long guns are stored in a muzzle-down position, attached via quick-release straps to the inside of the door, ready to be deployed.

In the event of a nighttime emergency, the Minuteman features a luminous tape strip surrounding the recessed keypad, for ease of locating it in the dark. Once opened, an interior motion-sensor light illuminates the safe contents in low- or no-light conditions.  SRP: MM 4814E, $795; MM 5020E, $1,040. (haymansafe.com)
