My husband has been using the silica beads. Is this product the best on the market for a small gun safe? Also, the E-333 vs. the larger one?

I have two of them in a 14 gun safe and they hold the humidity to less than the ambient humidity in our house by about 10% as long as I plug them in when they go pink. I would go with the larger one, if you are buying one for a rifle safe (5' high, 2' wide or so) but my two can be cycled one at a time to maintain the low humidity. They are inexpensive so why not get two?

I put 2 drops of case lube in a large Tupperware bowel. I add 150-200 9mm case's and mix by hand until they feel even. Less oil is better than too much. As for a .308 round. Isn't that a rifle round? Might be a bit tall. Not sure. .380 dies will work.

It's been awhile since I've had mine but to reply without going to confirm I seem to recall it's the pick & pluck foam what made the difference. I made some 'throw and go' out of several of these to hold a firearm, magazines (2), and a box of ammo in each. My only recommendation preference for them was to provide a better latch to prevent accidental opening.

There are real book gun safes here on Amazon. Search for BARSKA Hidden Real Book Gun Safe. If it doesn't need to be real, this one might be big enough for a small gun: Barska Book Safe with Combination Lock. You could open that very fast. Please lock your gun up. Someone could find this. A friend could be bored and take a look at your books while you're in the bathroom or something.

I have used both because there wasn't a bead fireline when I started using fireline. I have not noticed any problems, however other beaders insist the items with just the fireline will not last.

I'd say it works better than a nut gatherer the tines are closer together I haven't had any fall out I'd guesstimate about 100 to 130 pistol cases depending on caliber and size maybe more never counted to be honest. We practice and qualify on sand and this works just fine. The emptying attachment that comes with it works great. Picks up .223/.) 556 just fine. I love mine saves my back at the range after practice and qualifying I have the caliber sorters for the bucket too and love that also

I would go with the pull through cleaning system. That is the one i got and it is very easy to use and cleans my .22 and 12 gauge awesome. I would recommend this cleaning kit in the pull through. Fricken love mine. Use it every time after i go shooting.

Yes and No... It definately can hold your pistol on its own shelf and a few hundred rounds of ammo. The only problem I see is ease of access... The dial takes time to "dial in", and would be impossible at night (or high stress situation). If you are going to store your main means of home defense, I would go with a different safe (maybe the same model but the back-lit number key style). Just my opinion.

Barsca would have my first choice, but their customer service really sucks. I have one for my cust .45, but the adjusting screw broke out and they would not fix it. But Barsca is good, depends on what you are using it. Mine was on a pistol only so the rest of I am not sure of. Hope this helps and works out for you.

No. It will not fit. There is a deeper version of this gun safe. Husband thinks you might be able to fit it in there but it would be at an awkward angle and may interfere with electronics. The area behind the electronics is exposed. Gun may hit them as you try to remove the gun, especially if you are in a hurry. You will likely scratch the gun working it in and out. Highly recommend bigger safe or smaller gun.

I've used ammo can locks from http://ammolock.com and they have worked great!

It will hold an entire container of brass media and clean 400-500 rounds at a time. I have used it for both pistol and .223 caliber brass. I have not owned another one and do not have the info to compare, but I have no complaints with this one in particular.. My dearly beloved (wife...the acct is in her name but she had me to answer the question) bought it for me and I have no idea how I have gotten by this far without a tumbler!

A gun safe is about the size of a closet and it works great. My motor home is a little larger than that.

I purchased the extra small for a springfield XD9 subcompact. And it worked fine. Then purchased a leather for OWB. And now use it for a Sig P232SL, and it works great. Doesn't take up much room IWB. But once you remove the hand gun, I have to undo my belt to replace the gun. But works well. They recommend not having a round in the chamber when carrying.

motion detector works fantastic in my 24 gun safe mine is an ELITE STACK-ON if your safe is bigger I would get two made my safe look like it cost a lot more for those that don't know I did not screw in instead I used the Velcro that came with it. it also comes with screws. I just peeled and stuck on the ceiling of safe you cant even see it, but as soon as the door opens the light goes on don't forget batteries. good luck John

If you do put gun or ammo in the safe be sure an add something to absorb the moisture. They have so many things on the market these days i wont list them out. Any time you have a water proof safe its almost guaranteed to build up condensation on the inside due to the combination of ambient temperature changes and being air tight.

Mechanical lock - Best for long term use . I've had bad experiences with the reliability of the cheap electronic safes.
