How to Choose a Bedside Gun Safe

A bedside or nightstand gun safe has one job: open fast for you and stay shut for everyone else. Look first at how it opens, then at how it fits your nightstand or bed frame.

Entry typeStrengthsWatch for
Biometric (fingerprint)Fastest in the dark; no code to rememberEnroll several fingers; keep the backup key away from the safe
KeypadReliable and easy to share with a spousePractice the code by feel
RFIDOpens with a tag, card or braceletKeep the tag where you can reach it
Mechanical push-buttonNo batteries to failSlightly slower than biometric

Size and Mounting

Measure the inside of your nightstand drawer or the space beside the bed before you order. Top-opening safes such as the V-Line Top Draw and Hornady RAPiD Safe fit inside a drawer; slider and drop-down designs mount under a nightstand or bed frame. Bolt or cable the safe down so it cannot simply be carried off. If you also need room for long guns, see our small gun safes.

What is the best type of bedside gun safe?

For most people a biometric or keypad safe with a mechanical backup key is the best balance of speed and reliability. Choose a model that fits your drawer or mounts beside the bed.

Are bedside gun safes California DOJ approved?

Several models here, including V-Line and Mesa handgun safes, are listed as California DOJ approved. Check each product page if you live in a state with storage requirements.

Are bedside gun safes fireproof?

Most quick-access handgun safes are not fire-rated. For fire protection, store valuables and extra firearms in a fire-rated gun or home safe.
