I am not sure about the 22s. Mine at least would not accommodation them. The wire might be small enough. But there is a bit of a bulge of at the end of the wire where they appeared to have double dipped the rubber coating on the hanger tips. I assume that this is just for durability so that you don't cut through the rubber coating after repeated uses. TAMs pistol rack might be a better option for 22s.C-dub wrote: I would have them strictly for storage. My go to pistol is on my hip, not in the safe and I don't keep any of them in the safe loaded. I do have some loaded magazines in the safe, but they are not in any of the guns.
Do those rods come is sizes small enough for .22 handguns? I now have three and the shortest one is a 4.5 inch barrel.

Re: Too many guns?
I have used these. They work best for larger caliber pistols with longer barrels. My G17 or 1911 are super easy to get on and off. The LCP and G43 are trickier to line up the barrel and rod. I might even call the LCP a pain. I like them a lot for the bigger pistols. They are tolerable but not easy for the smaller ones. The hangers don't pull off of the shelf but occasionally will pull back from their starting point. I don't know that I would want my go to safe pistol hanging on one. In the heat of battle with pressures and tensions you could possibly bring the hanger out with the pistol.C-dub wrote:I do have a couple of the silicon gun socks for a couple rifles, but those aren't the issue. I still have plenty of space for several more rifles. It's the handguns I'm concerned with.
I started thinking about looking for a different door insert with different compartments or one that was entirely velcro or molle, so that I could put whatever I wanted up on it however I'd like and could be re-arranged as needed.
I'm also thinking about those things that slide onto a shelf and the handgun attaches below the shelf by sliding the barrel onto a rod. Does anyone have those? How well do those work? Does the handgun come off the rod easily without pulling the rod thing off the shelf with it? I wonder if the rack like TAM linked might be better.

Re: Too many guns?
Agreed. If you want to be sophisticated (not saying that it is needed) you could do the cheap silicone sock route as well.Weg wrote:I would not store the cases in the safe, waste of valuable space. Just start stacking them in a closet (the cases). Not sure if this is for you, but I have found you can stack handguns like cordwood on your gunsafe shelves if you just put a piece of cardboard in between. I started doing this with the ones I rarely shoot, it keeps anything from scratching and allows you to pack them in there tight.
