Here are a few of the most popular types of Browning Safes so you can narrow down which type is right for you.

1. Large and Medium Gun Safes

Browning is a renowned brand with a rich history in firearms, outdoor gear and safes. As such, the company offers a variety of safes for different types of firearms. There are long-gun safes for shotguns and rifles, smaller safes for pistols and everything in between. These safes come in different fire and security ratings—and dimensions vary, even if the safes are the same type—so you can choose one that fits your preferences.

2. Home Safes

Home safes aren’t that different from gun safes, but they don’t come with as many firearm-inspired features. Instead, their specifications are designed with security and convenience in mind. These can also vary in size, but all carry the same craftsmanship, durability and quality you’d expect from a Browning safe. Also, Browning has different lines of both gun safes and home safes (e.g., Core Series, Pro Series, etc.), so be sure to consult with a professional or look at online product descriptions to understand the differences.

3. Compact/Small Safes

If you’re looking to store handguns or pistols, a smaller safe might be the best option. This is especially true if you want to keep a handgun near you while sleeping, or in another area of your home for convenient and secure access. These can range from models that hold a single firearm and some ammunition to multiple firearms. It just depends on your desired dimensions and how you want to mount/store it.

4. Vaults/Vault Doors

Browning also has a selection of Vault Doors for those with the biggest storage needs. These provide protection for entire rooms of firearms and other valuables and models can swing outward or swing inward. Materials and features can also vary on these, but they’re usually available in most standard door frame sizes.

5. Rated Safes

For those with higher security needs, a fire or TL-rated safe may be in order. These safes are designed to withstand sophisticated criminal attacks, explosions and fires. For example, a TL-15 safe is tested to withstand 15 minutes of intense attack, while a TL-30 is designed for 30 minutes. Both gun safes and home safes can be specially rated. Again, a Browning safe expert can help you decide if a rated safe is right for you.

But did you know Browning is also a top-tier name in the safe world?

Let’s take a look at how the company got started, when it started producing safes and what Browning safe options are available today (plus where you can get one).

How It All Started

As mentioned above, John Browning founded the company with his brother Matthew Browning in 1878. They started out in Ogden, Utah, where they initially had the goal of promoting John’s innovative firearm designs—which included pistols, shotguns and rifles. John’s designs have since been manufactured by several other companies (e.g. Winchester, Colt, Remington) and Browning as a company has expanded to other products like fishing gear, knives, bicycles, bows and more. But they started out with firearms.

The Transition to Safes

One area the company expanded to after it started experiencing success was security. As a predominantly firearm and ammunition company, it makes sense that Browning would want to create safes for storing guns and ammo. A few decades ago, they did just that, contacting another Utah company, Provo Steel & Supply (aka ProSteel) to team up and start making a line of gun safes. 

Browning ProSteel Safes (as the partnership was called) separated itself from other safe manufacturers with a unique door storage system that allowed for the storage of long guns on the door of the safe itself. Another unique feature of Browning safes is a patented door-locking system that deflects force, making it more secure. Because of these differentiators, Browning rose in popularity among firearm owners looking for a reliable gun safe.
