"Most" are thinking of a $15000 safe.................LOL
That's funny since all I carry are Glocks. I would never consider spending more than $1500 on a 1911 if I ever went back to that platform that is. I guess you didn't carefully read what I said about Safes vs Residential Security Containers (aka gun safes). I don't think many of us on this forum keep our guns in $15,000 safes, $1,500 gun safes is more in line with what I was thinking. But your point is well taken. If all you have to protect are one or two pistols, a bolted-down pistol safe is better than a dresser drawer.
