I have a traditional safe by American Security. As mentioned it is now no where close to being big enough. My advice is, if possible, buy a safe that is 4x bigger than what you think you'll need. 1/2 will be the shelf side and will end up holding your pistols, wife's jewelry, and important documents along with maybe some ammo or other valuables. The other side will only hold half of the number of slots unless you have all single shot .22s or are very good at Tetris.

I have been looking to get another safe and came across the various products at http://www.secureitgunstorage.com. While he is trying to persuade you to buy his product he does make some thoughtful arguments against traditional heavy safes.

I have insurance on my firearms and I only have one heirloom. While I don't want any of them stolen or lost to fire I don't have any of great value, monetarily or sentimentally. I am contemplating getting a few of the two-gun kits and making secret hidden gun cabinets instead of another large safe. This spreads them out, makes them more accessible around the house, and doesn't draw attention to a large safe.
