Hollon makes five gun safe series, and choosing between them can be confusing. The names don't tell you much. So here's a direct, side-by-side breakdown of every series: what's different, what's the same, who each one is built for, and which models we recommend.
We carry the full Hollon gun safe lineup as an authorized Hollon dealer at Secure Zoned.
The Five Hollon Gun Safe Series at a Glance
| Series | Fire Rating | Steel Gauge | Gun Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dominion | 45 Min / 1,200°F | 14 gauge | 14 – 45 guns | Entry-level / first gun safe |
| Hunter | 45 Min / 1,200°F | 12 gauge | 16 – 56 guns | Mid-range protection |
| Crescent Shield | 60 Min / 1,200°F | 12 gauge | 16 – 56 guns | Better fire protection, same size |
| Black Hawk | 75 Min / 1,200°F | 10 gauge | 22 – 72 guns | Heavy-duty, serious long-term storage |
| Republic | 75 Min / 1,200°F | 10 gauge | 16 – 56 guns | Maximum protection, premium build |
Hollon Dominion Series
The Dominion Series is Hollon's entry-level gun safe line. 14 gauge steel, 45-minute fire rating, and available in multiple sizes from 14 to 45 guns. This is where most first-time gun safe buyers start. It's a significant step up from Stack-On or budget safes, and carries Hollon's quality construction at the most accessible price point.
Standout feature: Built-in LED lighting on most models. Good interior organization with adjustable shelving and door organizer panels.
Best for: Homeowners buying their first real gun safe. Anyone protecting 1–8 long guns and some handguns without a heavy budget.
Hollon Hunter Series
The Hunter Series steps up to 12 gauge steel with the same 45-minute fire rating as the Dominion. The thicker steel means more pry resistance and a heavier, sturdier feel. Interior capacity is comparable to Dominion at the same size — but you're getting a more robust safe overall.
Standout feature: 12 gauge body and door construction. Multiple locking bolt rows. Heavier anchor points.
Best for: Buyers who want mid-range durability and aren't ready to jump to 75-minute fire protection pricing.
Hollon Crescent Shield Series
The Crescent Shield Series shares the same 12 gauge steel as the Hunter but bumps fire protection up to 60 minutes at 1,200°F. If you're in an area with slower fire response times or you store the safe in a basement or garage farther from exits, the extra 15 minutes of fire protection can make a meaningful difference.
Standout feature: 60-minute fire rating over Hunter's 45. Same steel gauge and capacity range — just more fire protection.
Best for: Buyers comparing Hunter vs Crescent Shield who want more fire coverage without moving all the way up to 10 gauge pricing.
Hollon Black Hawk Series
The Black Hawk Series is built with 10 gauge steel and a 75-minute fire rating. This is a heavy-duty safe that starts at 22-gun capacity and scales up to 72 guns — making it the right choice for serious collectors or households with a large number of long guns. The weight alone deters most thieves without anchoring.
Standout feature: 10 gauge steel body and door, 75-minute fire rating, large-capacity sizing up to 72 guns, extra locking bolt rows.
Best for: Serious collectors, large households, or anyone who wants the heaviest non-commercial Hollon gun safe at a reasonable price.
Hollon Republic Series
The Republic Series is Hollon's premium gun safe line. 10 gauge steel, 75-minute fire rating, and the most refined interior organization and exterior finish of any Hollon gun safe. If Black Hawk is built for capacity, Republic is built for the buyer who wants the best — and is willing to pay for it.
Standout feature: Premium finish options, upgraded interior with full door organizer and adjustable shelving, 10 gauge construction with 75-minute fire protection. This is Hollon's flagship gun safe.
Best for: Anyone who wants the highest-tier Hollon gun safe and prioritizes build quality, aesthetics, and long-term value.
