Our verdict

A bedside handgun safe with fingerprint, keypad and key entry and a gas strut lid. It is not water resistant, and the interior is a single shallow chamber.

Overview

A compressed gas strut lifts the lid on this Awesafe safe the moment a fingerprint or code is accepted, so the hand stays free. Three entry methods back each other up, with a silent keypad and an override key. A pry-resistant door and mounting screws are part of the build.

Quick one-handed access is the point, which suits a nightstand or car where seconds count. The three lock types give a backup if a finger or code fails. The chamber is shallow and the listing gives no handgun size guidance or fire rating, so fit has to be checked against your own pistol.

Who it's for

A bedroom or small cabinet with space for a compact box suits this kind of quick-access safe. Anyone storing a large handgun, ammunition in bulk or valuables that need fire protection should look at a larger rated safe.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Three lock methods for redundancy
  • Gas strut opens the lid
  • Many fingerprints can be stored
  • Mounting screws included
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Fire rating not listed
  • Chamber is shallow
  • Handgun size guide not listed

Performance notes

Fingerprint and code entry release the latch, then the compression gas strut raises the lid without a hand on it. The override key is the fallback if the electronics fail or the battery is flat, though the battery type is not listed. Alloy steel and a pry-resistant door resist forced entry.
