Gun Safe Accessories – What Do You Need?
So, you’ve got your safe, ideally a fingerprint gun safe, or maybe you choose the model and ready to buy. But you’re also wondering if there are any extras or gun safe accessories you should also purchase. Is this it? Well, there are a few, affordable accessories you can add to your safe. These include a dehumidifer, wall panel, lights, and more. But, the most important thing is having a dehumidifer for sure. Without it, your guns could end up becoming absolute junk.
Did you know that humidity is one of the biggest dangers with gun safes. Many people out there will buy dehumidifiers to accessorize their safes and take away dangerous moisture. Many high end, expensive gun safes will naturally come with a dehumidifer built in, but you should check first.
There are two types of dehumidifers you can buy. The economical, non-electronic packs or the slightly-electronic devices. If you don’t want to spend money on any new devices then DampRid will lower humidity by up to 50%. This is important to make sure that rust, mold, and moisture don’t build up inside the safe. These are very cheap.
Or you can buy the Eva Dry EDV 300 which requires no power and is useful in all kinds of small spaces besides just protecting your guns. They recommend areas of around 50 cubic feet. It’s also 100% renewable so you will be going green, haha. There’s an easy color sensor that tells you when you need to renew it, i.e. recharge it by plugging it into an AC power outlet. It usually seels for about $15 or so. It’s what I personally recommend. Cheap, efficient, and rechargeable.
Another suggestion for a gun safe accessory would be a door handgun kit. This helps you use more of your safe space and help with organization. It’s also called a door pistol kit. They are easily hooked up to the back of your gun safe and allows you to hold several pistols or pistol holders on the wall.
One really great version is the SWAT Mount which helps store handguns in an easily accessible manner:
It comes with a few pistol holders too making it really easy to stay organized. Nothing can be more frustrating than trying to find your gun or pistol buried at the bottom of a bunch of items on the safe floor. Sometimes it’s not only frustrating, but deadly as well. If your house has just been broken into, finding your gun as soon as possible is essential, and fishing around for it underneath a ton of crap can mean the difference between life and death.
These two gun safe accessories help to keep you more organized andsafe , very important in the event of an emergency where you need quick and easy access to your firearms and not having to worry about rust or moisture. Best of all, they cost very little compared to your actual firearms and safe. These are the most important accessories I definitely recommend.
