Overview
A concealed carry permit holder gets a padded, pry-resistant steel box in this Hornady lock box, closed with a barrel key lock and a dual crossbar latch. A steel cable ties the portable safe to a stationary object.
Portability, a cable tie-down and a padded interior suit travel and in-car storage. The limits are the compact interior and a key lock without any electronics, and it is not rated for water.
Who it's for
Concealed carry holders storing a pistol in a car or hotel room, or anyone securing small valuables, fit the format. Owners with larger handguns, and buyers who want fast electronic entry, should look at other safes.
Pros and cons
- Pry-resistant security band

Performance notes
The housing and security band resist prying, and the cable stops the box being carried away. The lid closes with a downward press and a counterclockwise key turn, and opens with a clockwise turn. Hinge attack resistance is listed.
