Sometimes the regular old traditional gun safe does not cut it. Maybe you have tried the large upright models, the under the bed models and perhaps one of the “hidden safe” types that you can leave out in the open and people do not even realize it is there. And for whatever reason, you may not have been happy with that.

It might be that an in wall gun cabinet or safe is more along the lines of what will fit your personal firearm style. Several different kinds with a few different features each offer something different with each one.

Stack-On PWS-1555 Long Gun Wall Safe With Electronic Lock Review

Lastly, we have the Stack-On PWS-1555 Long Gun Wall Safe With Electronic Lock. I really like this gun safe, but it doesn’t look like Stack-on is selling it actively anymore, so it’s difficult to find. You can see the listing below, but it isn’t always available. This in wall rifle safe is the safest way to store all your guns. It is designed for the usability and comfort of all gun enthusiasts and does not sacrifice quality for cost.

This Stack-On cabinet is approved by the California department of Justice and meets their standards for safely storing firearms. There are areas inside the cabinet that can be converted to shelving for the storage of ammo, pistols and lots of other items you might want to keep locked away for safekeeping.

My Vote for Best Hidden Wall Safe

Just in order to get on this list, a safe has to be a quality hidden wall gun safe. You can’t go wrong with any of these, but some are better than others.

Depending on whether you want an in wall rifle cabinet or an in wall pistol cabinet will obviously determine which safe you prefer.

Of the two rifle safes, my top pick for personal favorite is going to be the Stack-On IWC-55. It is quality, good looking safe that gets hidden perfectly in a wall. It has a bunch of shelves that be configured to store ammo, pistols, etc., which is really nice. I, personally, like the entry-level pricing point because it allows you to get a few for different rooms or levels of your house.

As far as the handgun safes go, it is really a tossup between the Electric Stack-On and the Barska. They are both quality safes. If you are looking for a simple electronic safe, the Stack-On will work for you, but if you want the added security of a biometric safe, you cannot beat the Barska.
