The mylar "bubble" buttons, in my opinion tend to wear out easier over time, we had to change out the same style of button VAB's (variable action buttons) on our radar consoles in the Navy more times than I could remember...And sometimes they would get stuck on a function and cause a bit more attention to your plight than I cared for at that time...

The keypads on these safes are very similar to the stuff we used, therefore, I tend to lean towards the "old school" tumbler style locks...

I just don't see them wearing out as much...

And I would not consider my big gunsafe to be one of those quick action nightstand type safes for any reason...If I ever needed anything out of the gunsafe, I would have it out already...

Just my reasoning and opinion...FWIW...

And did you notice in rm9792's safe that only one handgun hanger was empty? I'd wager that was his carry pistol that he had on his hip when he snapped the photo...

Ok, yer scarin' me...But that is a good observation!

[Steve looks over at his safe, shaking his head..."One more thing I have to git squared away..."]

Add me to the list of folks here who sympathise with you "CJ"...

I think you have it well in hand what you need to do...Get a larger (heavier) safe with the "dial" tumbler style of lock...Document, and keep records of your property, and keep that backed up off site...

You'll be fine, don't let this get you down either...I know its easier said than done, but you do have a lot of folks here supporting you in recovering from this crime...

Good luck...If anything, be jealous of all these "neat freaks" and their carefully laid out and organized gunsafes! Geesh!!!

Bunch of show offs!
