Who is the Hornady Rapid Safe 2700KP for?

• Bedside home-defense handgun owners — relies on the 14-gauge steel housing and touch-free RFID access system to keep a full-frame handgun secure from unauthorized access while allowing immediate spring-assisted opening.
• Travelers needing TSA-compliant firearm storage — utilizes the 8.8-lb compact steel form factor and California DOJ-approved child-resistant locking system to transport handguns inside checked luggage.
• Vehicle-based firearm security users — uses the included 1,500-lb rated steel security cable to tether the 12.7″ × 8.7″ × 2.9″ RFID handgun safe to vehicle seat frames or interior mounting points.

Less suitable for: Handguns with barrel lengths exceeding 4 inches or accessories exceeding the 2.2-inch internal depth clearance, which require a larger multi-gun locker, as well as primary residential handgun storage under Australian state Category H storage laws that mandate heavier, structurally fixed steel safes.
