Blacksmith Bedside Pistol Safe with Rapid Biometric Access

October 29, 2023 by Erik Meisner Leave a Comment

When an emergency comes up, or something goes bump in the night, it’s comforting to know that first responders are typically only a few minutes away. The average response time in the top 10 cities in the US range from 5.46 to 9.5 minutes. But that’s if you live in the city. Rural areas like mine may only have one or two officers on patrol throughout the night. Since every second counts in these instances, you can’t rely on a first responder to stop a home invader. This is why having a gun safe nearby with quick access to a firearm is my first line of defense.

Blacksmith offers a diverse line-up of affordable and reliable biometric gun safes. The Bedside Pistol Safe allows 0.1 second fingerprint recognition. And a strong gas strut to quickly open the lid to access the contents. Which can be the difference between life and death unfortunately. Wether you’re looking for a long gun safe or a pistol safe, Blacksmith has you covered.

Blacksmith Biometric Gun Safe Overview:

“Safeguard your family with Blacksmith’s quick-access gun safe. Protect young children and limit unsupervised access to valuables. The Blacksmith advanced upgraded 2.0 semiconductor 0.1S fingerprint recognition tech gun lock box grants rapid handgun access, affording more time in perilous situations”. ~ blacksmith official.com

4 Ways to Quick Unlock the Pistol Safe

Open quickly and quietly by unlocking your firearm in just 0.1 seconds via fingerprint tech. Use a 4-10 digit password or spare keys for rapid access to firearms at any time. In addition, when you have correct password or fingerprint, but the battery has run out, you can use the USB-C cable to open the gun safe. And finally, a key is included to open the safe if all else fails.

CNN — “Most children in the US who die from an accidental shooting are playing around with guns at home or mistaking them for toys, according to a new study. And the research suggests that over 90% of guns used in such shooting deaths were left unlocked and loaded.”

“The study, published Monday in the scientific journal Injury Epidemiology, looked at cases over a nearly a decade in which children under 15 accidentally killed themselves or another child with a gun. Most of the shootings happened at the victim’s home, where, in 8 out of 10 cases, the gun belonged to an older relative.” ~cnn.com

Final Thoughts:

At this price, it’s hard to miss with the Blacksmith SF0201 Pistol Safe. Currently $84.99. A small price to pay for both security and piece of mind. Especially if you have children or friends in the house. You can fit a single full frame pistol in the safe. Or a couple of mid sized (Glock 19) pistols. The quick fingerprint reader, rapid opening of the lid and interior LED light are my favorite features. Additionally, there is an included security cable that can be locked to a piece of furniture or something solid to secure the pistol safe. If you decide not to screw it in place from the interior.
