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 carry my Taurus PT 111 locked and loaded with the safe on. I've never had a problem. I love my Versacarry, the only complaint is some wear on the slide, but I don't carry a gun for its looks and a little wear doesn't effect the function.

I think its personal preference. I keep one chambered, with the safety on. I guess it also depends on what you carry. My name is Tom, not Deanna btw.

Oh yeah.., Generally speaking silicone sprays, like WD-40, are used to displace water, lubricate and provide some rust protection on locks, tools, and metallic moving parts. I bought it to use on my BB and Pellet rifles. They are both over 70 years old and I didn't want to risk spraying the barrels and seals with something too harsh a solvent. This, I believe was recommended for its relatively benign composition. By the way, both rifles are working astonishingly well for being so old. The seals appear to allow significant air pressure to build so the FPS blast of air fires that BB and pellet with a lot of power. I believe I am getting at least 600 of FPS out of a manufactured design of 760.., way back when. As they say.., 'they sure don't build them like they use to'. Gary

I think for pistols I think it's good. Guns will not in this size safe. I don't own either of then but I am going based on average dimensions. I can confirm the locks and the security of this safe is great and true to its claims. Hope that helps.

The EWL-30 is for places where you really want the lube to stay. If regular EWL is working fine for you, probably not worth the extra cost. YMMV. It doesn't appear to "gunk" up faster.

ordered a 1000 lot, there were a lot of federal brass. The brass only holds the bullet and powder, it does not improve or hinder gun performance. All manuf. tell you that their brass is better than other brands. Have shot six shot groups with three or four different brands, no different result with all same brand.

I've been using it for a nitro piston rifle with lead pellets, CO2 pistol with steel BB's at close / far ranges with no issues. To help "contain" any lead splatter or BBs that try to get out, i sealed the seams with duct tape, and cut pieces of cardboard to the opening size to help keep everything contained.

Here is a great you tube video and review of the safe. I found it excellent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=001syVM1pS8

It will last for a long time. I use it on all of my M&P's, and I had one sit for a year without use and when I took it apart it still looked fresh. Another good thing about the Slip 2000 EWG IS, it doesn't collect debris from shooting, I take most of my M&P's out weekly to the range, because I'm an instructor so I'm always at the range. Last week I put 500 rounds of TulAmmo through my 9mm M&P Shield and at the end of the day when I disassembled the pistol for cleaning, all of the parts were still well lubricated unlike regular oils that burn off, this stuff is great. Can't beat it in my opinion and not messy clean up either. Another good choice is Slip 2000 EWL synthetic oil, also great for the non grease parts. Hope I was a help to you sir.

If the price and dimensions are the same, I would save the money. The safe I bought is just what I wanted and although is not huge, fits everything inside nicely. And, I can pick it up easily when I need to use it. Good luck!

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.

I have two. One mounted under the steering column in my car, used when a gun is not welcome when going inside somewhere. The other on the side of a side table where I sit and watch TV during evenings. I use them both for small and mid sized glocks. They hold so well that you need to determine in advance how to remove. For example, a pre-determined twist of the hand or a push off using the barrel. The same would hold true for any smaller gun.

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

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.

Dennis Wiggins is correct. Take a look at his answer. Also, remember to use BLUE loctite. NOT RED. The sights are good. The tritium works great and Iʻve had these installed on one of my Glockʻs for over a year. This particular gun often sits in my safe for months, and every time I open the safe those dots are glowing!

Of course it depends on the humidity in your house. I have a full size gun safe and I've had my Stack-on since October and I've dry it out once. Not so much that it needed it but more that I wanted to see it work. I keep several rifles, pistols, and ammo in there and I am pleased with the results.
