wall safe reviewsLastly, we have the Stack-On PWS-1555 Long Gun Wall Safe With Electronic Lock.

My Vote for Best Hidden Wall Safe

long gun safe in wallJust 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.
