BILLCONCH Gun Safe for Handgun - Biometric Gun Safe 4 Ways Quick Access with Fingerprint/Full-digital Keypad/Key/APP Lock Handgun Pistol Safe for Nightstand Bedside Home

This is very well made, but too small for me. It would not work for my purpose, which is locking up my fanny pack in the trunk of my car with my Sig P229. I returned it (B2 Model) and bought the larger version (B1 Model) and it fits perfectly. This product is very well made, everything is top quality, great instructions, many ways to get into it and well thought out. The only issue is the size is a little misleading as it is limited by the box smaller opening and hinges at the back. The effective useful size for me of this smaller (B2 Model) unit is about 2'X5"X8". The larger unit (B1 Model) is about 2.5'X6"X11". The box opening is smaller than the box and fumbling to get your CCW out in the middle of the night will hit the metal edges and alert the intruder with the loud metal to metal sound. I returned this smaller unit (B2) and bought the larger one (B1 Model). As you can see, my fanny pack would not fit in the smaller one but would fit in the larger one with my Sig P229. These pictures are my 44 Mag and my Sig P229. I programmed 3 fingers on both my strong and weak hand for multiple backup access. The finger print reader works perfectly, every time.

I just received this new gun safe today so my review is based on my impression of the item after about an hour's time. Can't speak for longevity at this time.First, there are plenty of similar gun safes on Amazon for $59 that have biometric (fingerprint) readers. I wanted a safe that had that feature. The integrated phone app feature is what caused me to spend another $10 for this item and for the reason I state below it was well worth it.My purpose for buying this safe was to store the gun safely now that we have grandkids in the house while still allowing me quick access since the gun I bought the safe for is intended for home protection. The safe will be placed on a night stand next to the bed.Out of the box: well packed, sturdy, nice finish. Comes with battery, USB charging cable, 2 keys for manual opening of the safe, tools (phillips for the battery cover, small wrench for attaching the included "safety cable" that allows you to secure the safe to a table leg, etc), foam pad for the bottom to protect the gun(s), cards to record passwords and instruction manual. My manual indicates this is the B2 model. It is the smaller version of the two safe sizes offered on the Amazon product page. This one holds 2 guns while the larger version holds 4 guns.The instruction manual is typical of what is provided with products made in China. Nuff said :)First I opened the safe with the provided key and installed the battery. The battery orientation is not shown in the manual but if you look on the inside of the battery cover it is shown there but kind of hard to see. It also has the typical spring conductor for negative end of the battery. The battery came with 80% charge. The manual calls for a battery with a minimum of 2000mAh capacity. I'll probably buy one with a much higher rating (saw some 9900mAh on Amazon) just so I don't have to charge it so often.After the battery install I started reading the instructions for setting non-default passwords, fingerprints, etc. and quickly decided to download the phone app (which is recommended in the manual) and see if that streamlined the install process. After connecting the phone to the safe via bluetooth the rest was a snap. I would recommend this method vs. the somewhat clunky push button setup methods found in the manual.I read a few reviews that said the fingerprint reader was troublesome and would open with any fingerprint including those not stored in safe memory. I did not find that to be the case. I used the phone app to set thumb, index and middle fingers on both hands. The process was simple and worked well. I tested each finger after I was done and the three fingers from each hand that I had entered each opened the safe on the first try. I then tried the fingers I did not enter and none would open the safe. When the correct finger print is used the safe opens very quickly and the interior light illuminates the contents of the safe. The phone app makes this really easy and allows you to name each finger print and displays a list of the prints you have entered. I believe it will store up to 40 fingerprints. I will add my wife to the fingerprint list later.I saw another reviewer state the safe was too small for his guns. The product description is pretty good at describing the size for both 2 and 4 gun safes and shows examples of each. I put a Sig P320 and Sig P365 in the safe and there was plenty of room for those two guns. One is full size and one is compact.I also saw a review that said the safe did not come with any way to secure it to a night stand, etc. Maybe the safe did not originally come with the safety cable but this version does and I think the cable is a reasonable way to secure it. The cable is much like a bike cable lock with a loop on one end and a threaded end that screws into the safe. I have not tried to use the safety cable yet and probably won't. When I travel the gun goes with me or it can be stored in my large gun safe in the garage if I need to secure it.The keypad will also allow access to the safe as well as the keys and the phone app but they are much slower methods for opening the safe. I prefer the fingerprint method.The bottom line is this gun safe meets my two primary requirements: 1) prevent grandkids (or anybody else for that matter) from accessing the gun, and 2) provide me with quick access to the gun for home protection purposes. I found no fault with this product and I would recommend this safe for the reasons I've mentioned.Hope this helps.

I've had this safe for a month now, it's sturdy for such a small safe at this price point. I've been using it as much as possible opening it 10-15 times a day purposefully, I've had very few fingerprint read issues and the battery has only dropped 3%. This thing is the real deal.

Awesome, sturdy gun safe. The finger print entry and code button option work extremely well. The door opens up very quickly, very responsive. Fits your firearm and a few magazines and maybe a tac knife. I may buy another one for my other end table. Highly recommend!

This is a very good, simple, affordable small safe that can be opened with fingerprints, number combination, or by a key.The manual states 40 fingerprints can be stored. I think you can only store one fingerprint using the safe (without the app), but you can record additional fingerprints and assign alphanumeric names to the recorded fingerprints.The number combination is 6 digits, and it doesn't look like this can be changed. If you prefer four or five digits, maybe this is a deal breaker. I don't personally think that a small safe like this requires the increased security of having a 6 digit combination. I would rather be able to get into the safe quickly. Thankfully, it has a fingerprint scanner on it, and I think using the scanner is faster than punching in 6 digits.For my knowledge and yours, for n=10 (being able to select either 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 for each spot), a 4 digit length has 715 possible combinations, a 5 digit length has 2002 possible combinations, and a 6 digit length has 5005 possible combinations.It comes with two laser track keys.Thankfully, it has loud beeps that can be turned off. The Q&A section of the Amazon product page states:"Please press the 'Enter' key on the keyboard to wake up the device, type '1' and press the enter key again, the device will enter the mute mode. If you want to return to the normal voice mode, please repeat this operation (sic)." (There is not voice activation or voice prompts whatsoever.)The included battery is a rechargeable 18650 battery that can be left in the safe and charged using the micro USB port on the front of the safe. Aesthetically speaking, I wish this port was to the side or to the rear, as the USB cable can be left connected.Having the port in the front, the cable gets in the way a bit. I'm sure there's a battery regulator on the circuit, and it should be fine to leave it plugged in. While connected to external power, the light around the fingerprint scanner glows red while charging, and blue after fully charged. It's a little bright, but it could become a night light to indicate where the safe is and the fingerprint scanner is in the dark. I use magnetic charging cords for USB powered items, so I placed the micro-USB bit into the port as you can see in the photo.The interior of the safe is not very well padded. The bottom padding is extremely thin.Don't be mislead by the two H&K USP full size in the Amazon picture. It's photoshopped, and there's no way you could fit two USP full size pistols in that manner. I could barely fit a holstered G43X and two magazines in it. Apparently unholstered, you could fit two G43 in it. I don't have a G43 or know the dimensions to confirm this.I wish the lid opened a bit more. The LED inside the unit is nice.The Billconch app is OK, but very clunky. The app connects to the safe by bluetooth. Being able to change settings such as turning the beep on and off would be nice. The access log is quite simple, and takes a bit of deciphering. The alphanumeric name assigned in the fingerprint section of the app doesn't carry over into the log, so you'll have to go back and forth between the log and the fingerprint section to see who unlocked it using a fingerprint.****UPDATE 2025/02/27****Maybe it's too much to ask for when the safe is sub-$100, but here are some features that I think is needed to make it a 5 star item.~ Make the safe accessible via the Internet so that the access log can be viewed while away.~ Make the safe accessible via the Internet so that it can be opened remotely.~ Make the log record every single failed attempts to open the safe.****UPDATE 2025/04/29****I noticed some time ago that the silence feature resets itself. I've been trying to figure out how that happens and I finally did. When I attach a charging cord to the charging port, it beeps and seems to reset the silence feature for some reason. Maybe it's a software bug. It's not often it needs to be charged anyway, so it's not too big of an inconvenience.
