Best Nightstand Gun Safes: Bedside Gun Safe Reviews

Everyone has a particular place they like to keep their firearms and weapons for quick access as well as safekeeping. For some, it’s an under bed gun safe, while others prefer to keep them in the closet on the top shelf. Still others enjoy the gun rack over the bed that houses the guns as well as the ammunition and other firearms accessories, all at arm’s reach at any time they happen to be needed.

Some people may not even know that there is another option: the nightstand gun safe. A gun safe nightstand looks just like a regular nightstand, or is made to work with one, so that anyone who does not know exactly what it is will have no idea what is inside. While each one is different, they all have similar aspects as well. The determining factor will be how much protection you are wanting, what kind of entry mechanism you choose and what types of cosmetic features you will take an interest in.

My Vote for Best Nightstand Safe

My personal choice for top pick of these six items is going to be the SentrySafe QAP1BE The first thing that makes this particular safe more appealing than the rest is that it is combines a biometric, digital keypad, and keyed entry.

With the combination of all of these, you will not be left stranded when trying to open your safe. You will always have a method of opening it during an emergency situation, which is one of the most important features for any nightstand safe.

You can bolt, secure, and mount this anywhere in your nighstand and the quick-open gas strut is a great addition.
