I picked mine up at Dunham's at one of their Black Friday sales a few years back. Had my budget been what yours currently is, I definitely would have went the Johnson route.
Another poster mentioned this earlier, and I will echo what he said. When you think you have found the safe that is for you, dig deeper and go bigger. It's amazing how fast a safe can fill up in just a couple of years.
With the Johnson's safes, I got onto his web site an I could maybe swing the second biggest JS series he has avalible but the BR line seems like it would be worth downsizing a little for the extra steel
No offense to the cheap safe guys, before you pay good money for those, you could have a Johnson for a few hundred more... And they make cheap safes look like they're made of tin foil... Because they almost are.
Cannon's Winchester's and most Liberty's are 12 or 14 gauge sheet all around. Johnson start at 10 guage (1/8 inch) plate steel and 1/4 solid plate door. Those big bolts are mearly held on with a 1/4" bolt to a piece of sheet metal inside the door. Johnson safe's bolts are welded to a solid piece of 1/4" steel
Here... look at Liberty...

Very happy with my Big Johnson! Jeff is a great guy as well, we had some great laughs getting the safe in my closet, then me trying to wedge myself between wall & safe to get out! (Shut it pervs).
Yes, but to make it clear to receive an Underwriters Laboratory cert. it can cost anywhere from 10k to 80k so that would be a huge profit motive? No?To 05Wrangler,
To you want to "feel" safe or do you want to "be" safe? There can be a big gap between the two, and you won't know until the guns are gone.
I would never go with a safe that has not been UL tested. UL has consistent, methodical testing that truly determines whether or not the safe does its job. They have NO profit motive in whether or not you buy.
