I'm an avid 2nd amendment and pro carry individual. I've had more training and experience than most folks with a cwp. The military and sheriff's office programs are outstanding. Never settle for those cheap over the counter classes. Find the best and longest classes. You'll learn a lot more. Having said that, the selling point for me here was weight. I have a similar case, all metal made by Hornady and while it too is a great safe, the downside is the 5.6 pound weight before adding contents. In a vehicle not a bother, but in your check in luggage it's a bother and may cause you to pay an extra $100 in overweight baggage fee. Besides that, I don't like drag'n heavy luggage. As the only person who gave this a one star review pointed out, the case has one very small flaw in that the hinge is external. If it was a super big deal I could see a one star rating. But some folks don't know what stars 2 thru 4 mean. If it was a big deal I would have dropped one star down to a 4. But it's not a big deal. You must understand (because he didn't) that if a burglar wanted busted in the car and found the safe, doesn't mean he can get in. Most car burglers want a fast way in and a quicker way out. It's called smash and grab. These guys don't carry any tools let alone the tools necessary to do a fast grab of the contents. It takes too much time and any crook knows that the longer they stay at the scene the more drastic the likelihood of getting caught, shot or killed becomes. Then there's this point "if they don't know it's there and find it, they don't have the tools so they won't get away with it. They'll try though. If someone knows it's there before hand then they will come with the right tool(s). If this is the case th'reen you're the one to blame because you let too many people know about it. Most thefts are caused by people you know so keep yer mouth shut. There's no such thing as a fool proof safe so don't go trying to find one. As you know, crooks don't give a hoot about gun laws. To think otherwise is just ignorant and wishful thinking. If someone wants the safe and access to the contents badly enough, they're gonna get it even if you bolt it down and permanently weld it shut. All a safe is for is 3 things, to make it hard enough to discourage a would be thief and to keep hones men honest. That's it. More education. Snapsafe sells a unit with a TSA lock built in. If tsa needs to open it up they have a common key to do so. DON'T BUY THAT UNIT! IT'S AGAINST FEDERAL LAW for anyone (TSA, AIRLINE EMPLOYEES, HOMELAND SECURITY) to open that safe while yer not present and/or handle the weapon once it's opened. So 1. They can't open it without you being present 2. They can't handle the contents once opened without yer consent. Other problems connected to the TSA lock should be a matter of common sense, but think about the potential for "crooked employees" for starters. So getting the one with the TSA lock is the most incredibly irresponsible thing you can do. I hope this helps you to make a decision on whether to buy or not. My recommendation is, buy metal for the car or truck and buy this for travel and transport (meaning if you have to move the safe a lot). If money is a concern and you need a one to do all then this safe is an excellent choice!

Good Lock Box

This lock box is on the TSA acceptable list for air travel. I was considering purchasing just a cheap plastic gun case but I figured by the time I got a lock for it I would be spending the same amount of money and it's probably only a matter of time before TSA no longer allows the cheaper cases. This weighs a hair over 2 pounds with the keys and security cable. Without the keys and cable it weighs 1# 11 oz.

DO NOT fly with the combo lock

This is not a gun safe! A determined thief (or bored child) can get this box open. Use a different solution for home storage. But, for travel to and from the range, or in your checked luggage, this is a perfect lightweight solution. A 4.5" XDM fits with room to spare. I can fit a second gun in the same case if I remove the end of the flashlight from the XDM. The combo lock is a BIG PROBLEM because it has a TSA key override. Who said the TSA guys are licensed to handle a firearm? If a non-licensed TSA employee removes your firearm from its box, you could be guilty of a felony in that state. I know it's sounds unlikely, but I would rather not be the test case. If the TSA employee wants to go crazy and shoot somebody (God forbid), I would rather him have to break the box open. Better yet, fly with one box for pistols and a second box for magazines (luggage space permitting). I bought 3 of these plastic boxes and keep them in my range bag. I have the metal versions in my car and in my home closet. I intend to buy a set of keyed-alike tubular cam locks and switch them out so I won't have to wrestle with multiple keys. The locks are available from SnapSafe for $10 each, but you have to buy the whole set at once as they will not match locks you already own. I guess that would be a safety vulnerability if you could just order keys by number. I could not find generic locks with the correct sized cam, so I am buying directly from SnapSafe.

I like the box a lot

I like the box a lot. The only problem I had was my unwillingness to completely read instructions. When you are told to move the switch from A to B position look under the first layer of cushioning by the latch inside the box, rotate numbers to what you want your combo to be, switch back to position A. Now you can pretty much ignore the instructions that come with the safe.

Perfect fit for .45 & two clips

Perfect fit for my Springfield .45 XD plus two clips. No issues when declaring it at checked luggage, perfect for traveling.

VERY NICE

Ahhh got this today it is niceee. It is light and has rubber around box to keep from sliding all over and a thick cable to secure in truck and its coated has like 4 foam inserts to keep things from sliding around inside and can remove to suit your needs as far as thickness of what you are putting in tried opening with a screwdriver at the point where cable attaches but button to round to just slip out of knotch but button flat wont interfere with anything inside highly recommend it

A strong case for buying this case...

Needed a TSA approved container for a recent gift. I flew on Southwest Airlines using this container and it was totally painless and hassle free. Had to fill out a slip of paper for TSA, and they asked that I ensure the key was with me - they'd call me over the PA if they had any questions or needed it opened. No call was forthcoming, and my box made it without incident. Note that I packed this, locked it, and stuck it inside another bag that I was checking - this is a small case, not really meant to be checked on it's own. Great product, recommended. Thinking of getting a second one - especially if I can match the lock and use one key to rule them all.

Very well made vehicle security lock box

This SnapSafe Treklite Lock Box is made primarily for firearms security in a vehicle, home or office, but I do not use mine for firearms. I use mine in my vehicle to store valuables, for when I go in stores shopping, or when I go out hiking in remote locations. This is a well made, high quality lock box that will keep your valuables safe and secure. The price is very fair, in comparison to the heavy duty construction and attention to detail in the manufacturing processes. I did great deal of research and shopping and looked at a lot of these lock boxes, owned by friends, and this brand is by far the best on the market. I recommend this product to anyone needing this type of security storage in their vehicle, home or office. Eugene A. Bennett

This is my third one-- these are great

As a licensed firearms owner I need a way to secure my handgun inside my car to keep it safe if I'm at an event that does not allow me to carry it (we can talk the nonsense of gun free zones another time). One of my cars is a hatchback so it has no trunk the other is a tiny convertible which means anything locked in the glove compartment could be accessed if someone simply cut through the rooftop. I installed one of these in each trunk, using the secure cable to keep it from being grabbed and they work out perfectly. I have a third one which I carry in my range back so that everything is secure. This particular size holds a full sized handgun-- think Beretta 92FS or a 1911 45 caliber-- with no problems. Highly recommended.

Use it to hide my dild0!

Like the headline says. Use this to hide my dild0 and keep it away from my mothers curious paws. Lock box can’t handle the full 16 inches so I have to fold it in half to get it to fit. Word of advice, Don’t leave it in a hot car. I left the lockbox in my car and it was 100 degrees plus out. All Im gonna say is nothing smells worse than this lockbox after My 16 inch friend baked in this lockbox for the whole day. Probably should have washed it first before I put it in there. My mom always said “Son! Make sure you keep that thing clean!” Boy was she right.
