 GUN SAFE ACCESSIBILITY

 

We live in a modern world of convinces. Life is goes along at a good clip, and for the most part you could say it is predictable, but then suddenly it’s not. We want our firearms accessible, but accessible to whom is the question

                                                                   

Reasons Why More People Are Using Gun Safes

Once upon a time it was a fashion statement to display your guns in a glass show case. It was considered brave to own guns and showcase them. However, these days’ things have changed. With the increase in violence, many children have stolen weapons from their parents and have shot people. Hence, more and more people are opting for gun safes since they are the best way to keep guns away from prying eyes and curious children.

Guns are expensive and hence the ideal way to keep them is a gun safe.

Here are some reasons why you should invest in a gun safe:

1. With a gun safe, your guns are away from prying eyes and curious children and teenagers. Thieves will also not attempt to break open a gun safe since it is quite secure and difficult to break through.

2. Even if a thief tries to break open a gun safe, then it’s a lot of work and is bound to attract attention and take a lot of time. A gun safe is thick and strong and will deter most thieves.

3. Gun safes are quite heavy so there is no chance of thieves picking up the whole thing and moving off. Most of them require a refrigerator dolly to move them.

4. Most gun safes are quite good to look at and are well adorned and well painted. Therefore, they resemble a good piece of furniture rather than a good safe; hence they can blend in well with your furniture rather than stand out like a safe. A gun cabinet openly displays all your guns and makes it tempting for children and thieves.

5. A gun safe is ideal for your rare collectible guns which are antiques and simply impossible to replace. So, putting your treasures in a gun safe will guarantee a good night’s sleep.

6. Your fire arms need to be kept in a gun safe which is fire rated. There are gun safes available which have smaller built in safes for documents and other valuables like jewellery, so that all your treasures are in one place and easy to safe guard.

7. There are gun safes available which are burglar proof. These gun safes are the best in the market and it’s virtually impossible for any burglar to break through them.

8. Gun safes have hinges on the interior which have locking mechanisms and can be attached to the floor. The locking arrangement has a shear pin which in case of forced opening can make the handle free spin and keep the locking mechanism safe.

9. A gun safe is also important because the law dictates that your guns remain secured and out of bounds of children and other people.

10. A gun safe can be placed in a space where it is difficult for anyone to attack it or just hidden out of sight, this where floor and wall safes are used.

These reasons make gun safe a mandatory buy if you want to protect Security Safesyour guns and other valuables.

Finding A Holster For The Ruger Sr9

Holster For The Ruger Sr9

Looks like quite a few people are looking for holsters for their SR9.

Scanning the new, chat rooms, forums and blogs I will up date with what others are finding in the way of holsters for their SR9 Here’s what they are saying…

"Looking for Holsters — I’d love a Blackhawk SERPA, but they don’t make one for the SR9 and won’t say when they will. I’ve heard that the SR9 fits in the P345 Holster?"

"I think that this problem can be solved by switching to a poly paddle holster or something similar,  Does anybody have any suggestions for a good holster for the SR9?"

"Here are the models available for the Ruger SR9."

82-SIZE11
83-SIZE11
105-SIZE13/15
100-SIZE11

" I bought the GALCO Cop 3 slot holster, black belt, and 2 concealable magazine carriers for it. Nice fit and comfortable to boot. Thumb release backstrap and the 3 slot holster design lets you carry either strongside or level."

"The Desantis Pro Stealth N87 — the SR9 fits fine, but it carries a bit low."

Finding A Holster For The Ruger Sr9

Introduced by Ruger in October 2007, the SR9 was Ruger’s first attempt at a striker fired pistol. It was designed for civilian carry, self defense, and law enforcement use. With this striker fired design, the SR9 has a pre-set trigger similar to a Glock, where the striker is partially cocked during the reloading cycle, and then fully cocked when the trigger is pulled. Like the popular Ruger P90 series, the SR9 features a fiberglass reinforced frame that is very rigid and resists the flex that usually occurs as the weapon is fired. The SR9 has a steel slide that is available in a brushed or black finish.

A new feature for Ruger, the SR9 has a removable and interchangeable backstrap system that allows the shooter to adjust the size of the grip. This model also features a picatinny rail for mounting lasers and flashlights, along with an ambidextrous manual safety, loaded chamber indicator and striker indicator.

Like many Ruger pistols, the SR9 has a magazine disconnect, so the weapon cannot fire without the magazine in place. Ruger has also noted that if the SR9 is dry fired without the magazine in the gun, it will cause unnecessary wear to the striker block. Should you not like the magazine disconnect feature, it can be deactivated by removing the disconnect link.

Ruger discovered a possible problem where the SR9 could potentially fire if dropped while the manual safety was off, so they initiated a recall in April of 2008. Ruger has designed a new trigger group that eliminates that problem and will most likely be retrofitting most all SR9 models.

As the SR9 has become more popular, more and more holster makers are now producing models for the weapon. In terms of styles, holster makers are doing most every holster style including belt holsters, IWB holsters, and shoulder holsters. Due the the overall size of the SR9, it’s best suited for outside the waistband carry, although IWB is a possibility as well.
