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.

Stay Updated

First off, knowledge isn’t just power when it comes to the world of firearms. It’s safe as well. The good news is that there are a variety of resources out there to ensure you have the gun safety knowledge you need for Fort Worth and beyond. The National Rifle Association (NRA), for example, provides firearm training and you can find a variety of articles, videos and other resources to expand your firearm knowledge.

Train Regularly

Whether you have (or are interested in) a handgun, shotgun or other type of firearm or weapon, you should train with it regularly so you know how to use it if a situation ever arises. There are a variety of firearm training classes in Texas, so you have plenty of options.

Invest In A Good Safe

There’s a safety campaign called “Keep ‘Em Safe Texas,” which prioritizes safe gun storage—specifically, keeping firearms out of the hands of kids. Preventing accidents is just as important as keeping guns out of criminal hands, which is why a good gun safe is more important than ever. Consult with a professional locksmith to identify the best safe to meet your needs, as features and quality vary by brand and model. 

Get the Right Accessories

Texas is humid. As such, a safe dehumidifier might be a smart investment for Fort Worth gun owners seeking to keep firearms and ammunition in good working order. You don’t want rust, dirt or debris compromising the integrity of your gun and putting those who handle it at risk, so look into all the safe and firearm accessories available to you and shop accordingly.

Consult with a Professional

At the end of the day, the best way to increase your knowledge is to speak with an expert. Gun safety is no different and there are resources available in government, the military, law enforcement and emergency response. But a locksmith and/or safe technician can be another valuable resource for safety, particularly in the area of safe gun storage. Be sure to speak with someone who knows more than you and you’ll be doing your part for gun safety in Fort Worth.
