Does anyone have this safe? I am looking to install something in my truck. My one concern about this is visibility. Here is the link:

RAPiD Vehicle Safe

Also they are offering two boxes of defense ammo with any purchase.

Thoughts?

Thanks for posting. I have the same interest.

Have you looked at Console Vault yet? I had one in my truck and I now have one in my Suburban. Lots more room than the one you have linked there and they are out of view. The Hornady one looks like it would be really easy for a thief to take during a smash & grab. The console vault is bolted in and locks. A regular smash & grab type person won't be able to get into them but a determined person with a prybar could probably get in after a few minutes.

A pair of bolt cutters to cut the cable, a pry bar to pop the seat rail, or anything else and it's gone.

Even if they can't get it, it screams "I am a thing, break in and try to take me".

I will need to look into the console vault.

Those are my issues with visibility and just a cable attaching it to the seat frame. I just like the rfid tech and it seems to be fairly quick access.

Lock'R Down is out of San Antonio

+ 1 on Locker Down. I just installed one 2 weeks ok in 2016 GMC 2500 and it is awesome.

In my opinion, if you carry, then I see no need for a mounted quick-access safe. I keep an inexpensive cabled safe in my truck for when I have to leave my weapon behind. It's also nice because you can take it into hotels, etc. for the evening to pick up a weapon. My weapon is always on me in my vehicle. Or I wedge it in between the seat and console in a Remora.

Why is the locker down $60 more expensive for the exact same thing?

I have a locking console insert made by Tuffy that is fine, but it does not have solid sides on the insert, just bars. My understanding with the LockrDown is that it is full steel on the sides. My argument against the safe cabled to the seat, is that a lot of them require you to put them under the seat from the rear, as they are too thick and there are too many wires and controls under the front of the seat. Having to get out of the truck and the go into the back seat to stow the pistol and stuff the safe under the seat just screams "Come look in this truck...there is something valuable under the back seat!" to any thief watching a parking area.

Mine slides in from the front under my truck seat, but when I drive a vehicle that won't fit from the front i just leave it close to the seat on the floorboard. It isn't visible through the window that way. I assume if anyone breaks in they will look under the seat, but I could be wrong.

Hopefully you have the key-lock model and not the combination models. They are drastically different in performance
