If you are a gun collector, you may have already looked up a wide variety of gun safe reviews to find the best gun safe. One company that makes a variety of gun safes is Browning. Browning gun safes have been around the last 27 years. Browning makes gun safes for rifles, pistols, long guns, shotguns as well as making gun safes that can fit a mixed collection of different types of firearms. Therefore, no matter what types of firearms you collect, it is likely that you will find a Browning gun safe that will accommodate your collection quite nicely. Browning gun safes, like gun safes made by other companies, come in a variety of sizes. If you are not a firearm collector but would like a safe to store you gun in then you can buy one of the smaller gun safes; Browning gun safes (as well as some other gun safes) also come with small pockets or compartments to store other valuables in, which may make it more worth the price.

As far as whether Browning gun safes are better than other brands of safes on the market that will likely depend on what you are looking for. Whether your priority is having a gun safe that is aesthetic and blends well with your room’s existing decor, or whether you are looking for the most secure type of gun safe available, whether you are looking for something within a certain budget, or if you are looking to have a gun safe custom made or adapted to certain specifications. It may be worth your while to think of what your priority is in buying a gun safe as there are a wide variety of firearm collections that people own and what suits one person just right may not suit another person.

While Browning gun safes are not the most expensive brand of gun safe on the market, neither are they the cheapest. The prices vary greatly depending on what type of gun safe you are looking for, from Browning’s Medallion 55-gun safe with uni-force lock, which is selling for over US$4,000, down to just US$900 for Browning’s TheftGuard TG15 Sheriff gun safe.

Browning gun safes are quite good quality and do offer a wide variety of features. They are made to look attractive, so they are a nice looking addition to your room’s decor; you can buy them in at least five different colors (depending on what type of gun safe you buy). The most secure of the Browning gun safes are their latest model released in 2009, the ProSteel gun safe family. There are a few different models in this family, but they are supposed to be the most secure of all the Browning gun safes to date. Browning gun safes also come with a Duo Plus Storage Extra system, which makes it easier to store longer guns in one area of the gun safe and shorter, smaller guns in another area of the safe; there are also small compartments to store other valuables if you wish. It also makes it handy to get the gun you want out of the gun safe, which is a plus if you have a larger gun collection stored in the safe.

Here are the Gun Safes Guide top picks for fireproof gun safes:

1. Fort Knox Legend Series Gun Safe:

Absolutely nothing is going to get through the Fort Knox Legend Series. These gun safes are the only ones on the market right now that are made with a three by 16 steel body. They’ve also got an additional ten gauge reinforced stainless steel liner on the inside for that little touch of added protection.

The reason this safe sits on the top of the Fireproof Gun Safe list is in it’s one and three quarter inch thick reinforced fire door and patented locking system. The locks on this baby are rack and pinion multi-gear mechanisms that have each bolt operating independently of the other. This is one complicated piece of gun safe technology.

Fort Knox is also a great company. You can trust that they will deliver your safe quickly and it will be of very high quality. Sometimes they’ll even help you install it in your home. The incredible hulk would have a hard time breaking these high quality safes open so you can trust that your valuables and firearms will be safe.

2. Bighorn Gun Safe 8-10:

This one is actually the gun safe I have at home. I didn’t put it on the top of the list because the Legend is a little bit more durable against fire damage but the big horn is by far the best for the price. You won’t find a better deal when comparing quality and price than this rock solid safe.

It doesn’t have a lot of fancy frills but that’s okay with me since I keep it in my basement. It has a beautiful black textured semi-gloss finish with drill-resistant armor. The hinge system is attack proof so you don’t have to worry about that and it has two internal relockers and some pretty massive door bolts.

The door itself is four inches thick and made out of composite metals and it can withstand up to seventy minutes in the fire. The interior is plus and lined with a plain gray fabric. The shelves and all that jazz are fully adjustable so you can work around whatever type of gun you want to put in there. I definitely recommend checking this one out even though it is around eight hundred dollars.

3. Browning Platinum Plus Gun Safe:

The Browning Platinum Plus Gun Safe is probably the best gun safe on the market right now. I love this safe but sadly I can’t afford this thing. It costs almost five grand and has a ton of bells and whistles that I just can’t see myself needing. But, if you’re looking for the top of the line fireproof safe and have the budget to blow on something like this, I would really make you consider the Browning Platinum Plus.

The first thing I noticed about this safe was the beautiful high gloss enamel finish. The manufacturers of this piece of hardware really took the time to craft an attractive safe with game scenes, scroll designs, and gold plated spoke handles. You can even get these babies made to order if you’re willing to wait a few weeks for it to arrive.

They’ve got ultra-heavy three by sixteen steel bodies with one hell of a thick duo-formed door. The locking system has three cams and some models have even more than that. Of course they are drill-resistant as well and they have not one, not two, but five layers of fire-resistant insulation and these things can cook in a 1200 degree fire for up to one hundred minutes.

If you’ve got the budget that will allow you to own one of these, buy it right away. I’ve never seen a better gun safe than this one and I only wish I could afford the massive price tag. The price is the only reason it is number three on my list, otherwise it would blow the others out of the park.

If you get one of these three fireproof gun safes you’ll be in good shape. The first two are a little more on the bargain side but the Browning Platinum Plus is definitely something to gawk at if you have the money for it. Check out some of the online gun safe stores and browse around, there are lots of gun safes out there to choose from. Pick one that is right for you.
