Gun Cabinets for Gun Enthusiasts

Show off the beauty of your rare pieces with a beautiful and safe cabinet

Gun enthusiasts are one of kind. They are a special group of individuals who appreciate the beauty and use of a firearm. In that vein, they have special storage needs for their firearm collections.

Safety first

One of the biggest storage considerations for gun enthusiasts is safety. There are a variety of options when it comes to gun safety, the safest being the gun safe. For example, a top-of-the-line safe can hold up to 39 guns, with extra compartments for accessories. They are made out of Steel and Pryro-Block, with the door being 2.25 inches thick with 10 1.5-inch door bolts. A well-constructed safe can withstand fire temperatures up to 1800 degrees for more than an hour. There is keypad entry for additional security -- perfect for the serious collector who needs the ultimate in security. The only problem: the collection is hidden away.

Rare finds

For the gun enthusiast who wants to show off his gun collection -- perhaps a series of antique guns, cowboy-action revolvers, or custom-finished over/under shotguns -- a gun cabinet proudly displays its owner's discriminating taste. Gun cabinets are typically crafted from wood, and double as home accents. These can range from a simple gun rack on the wall over the fireplace to a beautifully carved oak cabinet. Gun cabinets typically have glass fronts so guests and admirers have a full view of the collection. You can purchase these glass fronts with tempered glass or an acrylic inset for added protection. Quality gun cabinets include locking display doors. However, because of the display aspect of these gun cabinets, they aren’t as secure as your gun safe.

If you're a serious gun collector, you may want to consider a combination of both gun cabinetry and gun safes.
