Hornady Rapid Gun Safe: Unboxing & Review (VIDEO)

In my third Hornady gun safe unboxing & review video, I take a look at the Rapid Gun Safe which has multiple RFID options (bracelet, card, and key fob). Weighing in at 15.65 lbs, this safe has a lot more heft than it’s two smaller cousins.

I liked the RFID options since it was faster and more reliable. I tried entering my numeric key code quickly as if I was under stress and the safe sometimes wouldn’t catch my quick button entries. I would like to see a different button design, one that has more tactile feedback and a positive response so the user can feel more of the button being pressed.

TFB reviewed the Hornady Safe a year ago and so I’ll leave you to the main part of this post, which is the unboxing & review video below:

MSRP is $275.00, but another quick Amazon search shows you can get it there for $204.00.

    For $200 why not just get a simplex lock safe?

    I bought one and the contact wire strips at the battery compartment was pulled loose. It looks like a ribbon strip. It was never glued or soldered. Be careful when removing to battery cover. You can pull them loose yourself if not careful.
