Do you have a gun safe but not enough space in it to store your firearms properly? I just came across an interesting small business that offers a smart and low-cost solution for exactly this problem.

The company's name is StoreMoreGuns.com and their mission is "to develop a safe, usable, maximized storage space for your gun collection. Utilizing your shelf, the products from Gun Storage Solutions make even the smallest space store more guns. Transform your gun safes, cabinets, and closets to satisfy your gun storage needs."

StoreMoreGuns.com offers - besides other items - two very practical items that in my humble opinion almost every gun owner can use.

The first one "Handgun Hangers" - here's a picture to give you an idea how they look:

Clear off the shelf space in your safe and expand the capacity with Handgun Hangers. Handgun Hangers are a one-gun pistol hanger that will slide under any standard, ¾ - ⅞" thick shelf.



They are powder coated steel with rubber ends so they will not damage guns. Handgun Hangers fit as small as a 22 caliber gun and are made to slip in anywhere there is a little extra space.










The other product that caught my attention is "Rifle Rods". They are ideal if your gun safe is getting full. Rifle Rods will stabilize your gun in the upright position, opening up room for up to fifty percent more guns. To install, staple the loop fabric - which is included in Starter Kits - under the top shelf in your gun cabinet. Then drop the Velcro™ headed Rifle Rod down the barrel of the long gun and pull up to attach the hook and loop.

This works not only with rifles but also with scopes, double barrels, even bazookas! Rifle Rods are simply a sturdy plastic rod with a Velcro™ head. To install, staple the loop fabric (included in Starter Kits) onto the underside of the top shelf. Drop the Rifle Rod down the barrel of the long gun, set the stock in place and pull the Rifle Rod up until the Velcro™ attaches to the loop fabric. Rifle Rods will stabilize your gun in the upright position. Continue this process until the safe is “straightened up”. Rifle Rods are very versatile, so feel free to be creative when placing guns.

The products are made in the USA - and very affordable.

So you purchased your new gun. You're all excited. But how can you keep your firearms from unauthorized use? You're right! The solution is gun cabinets for a safe and secure storage of your weapon. But what should you look for when buying a gun cabinet? Well, relax because this article offers three excellent tips on choosing the right one.


Three Tips on Choosing Gun Cabinets

Gun safes are great tools for keeping your guns, valuables, and home secure and safe from criminals and accidents. If you own one or more firearms it is important for you to keep them locked up and away so that they do not pose an accidental hazard to your children and loved ones. Firearms are also sought after items by thieves as a stolen firearm is also an unregistered firearm and can be used for violence without much worry of repercussion.

As soon as you purchase a gun, whether it is a handgun, shotgun, or rifle, you should soon after go out and buy yourself a decent gun safe. There are all different kinds of handgun safes out there to choose from and there are a few brands that are good and a few that are not worth your while.

You will probably need to think about your budget before delving into the massive variety of gun cabinets out there because some of them can get a bit expensive but for the most part you will be spending around eight hundred dollars if you have a large gun collection and maybe one hundred to two hundred if you have a small collection. Firearm safes are not cheap, but they are worth every penny for the piece of mind and security they provide.

When selecting gun cabinets here are a few aspects you should be looking for in a safe that will keep your valuables and weaponry out of the hands of smash and grab criminals and out of harms way with your children and their friends. You'll want to find a safe with external hinges. External hinges are more fortified than internal and won't be easily destroyed or pried open with a crowbar. Get a dial lock as these are more difficult to crack. Finally, find a safe that has at least 10 gauge steel walls.

If you follow all of those tips when purchasing gun cabinets, you will be able to feel confident that you have purchased a great safe. There are a few brands that I would recommend as well. Big Horn gun safes are generally a good investment, Fort Knox safes are always good, and if you're on the tighter budget side you could do worse than purchasing a Homak safe. Good luck with your gun cabinet shopping and remember to always be careful with your guns.
