I figure you guys might know something about gun safes. I've only just recently realized I own things valuable enough to put into a safe. So I've just started trying to research them. I'm surprised that there isn't any consensus on one or 2 "best" safes. Or if there is, then I've been looking in places that were trying not to step on anyone's toes. It just seems to me like the 3 big things you expect out of a safe would be fire protection, theft protection, service, and price. Maybe not in that order, but pretty close, and someoen is bound to do those things better than everyone else.

So anyway, what do you guys use? The only big name safe I've really looked at is Ft Knox, because they have a rep at all the local gun shows. I've had friends (cops and volunteer firefighters) tell me to forget about fire protection based on how many ruined safes they've seen. But they didn't seem to be aware that there's a big difference in fire protection ratings and they didn't know why some safes they recovered from burned houses were OK while so many were ruined.
