Handgun Security has Evolved with the Innovative and Heavy Duty Stealth ShadowVault SV1 Pistol Safe Nearly all handgun safes on the market have the same common weaknesses such as thin steel, weak lock mechanism, limited combinations and susceptibility to punch and cutting attacks. The Stealth ShadowVault SV1 addresses all of these weaknesses by taking the strength, quality and security features of a UL RSC Burglary Rated Gun Safe and building it into the size of a pistol safe. This is the most secure pistol safe that has ever been made with a 3/16” thick solid steel door that folds over the 10 gauge solid steel body by 1-1/4”. The safe features two 3/8” steel hooks that lock under the double steel deadbars bolted together reinforcing the piano hinge. This makes the ShadowVault impervious to cutting attacks where if a thief took an angle grinder and completely cut through the hinge, they would still not gain entry. Built from the same platform as the Stealth Original Handgun Safe, this ShadowVault SV1 far exceeds its Simplex Lock predecessor by using the S&G Spartan Direct Drive Deadbolt Lock, a UL Approved High Security Electronic Lock that also holds certifications from VdS, ECB-S and EN. The lock is encased in a steel housing and protected by a drill resistant hardplate to prevent drill and punch attacks, the fatal weakness of the Simplex style safes. With nearly one million possible combinations you can customize the 6 digit code to your preference and disable the beeping to activate stealth entry mode. When you close the door, you simply twist the keypad to extend the deadbolt functioning like a door deadbolt latch operating. The lock's deadbolt secures into a steel housing on the body side also protected by a drill resistant hardplate. The Stealth ShadowVault SV1 is a CA DOJ Approved Firearm Safety Device.
