Nice review. I feel like they should just get rid of the code buttons on the front and just use an RFID and back Key option to open it, then make the time lights larger and maybe add lights for "Set Alarm" and stuff like that, even if they don't work. It would just make it look more realistic. The time lights are so small for such a large "clock" that it looks suspicious to me. Also, like others have said, having their name on the front? They don't need to advertise, put the name on the bottom or something and a fake brand on the front.
I don’t think that it matters that it has the brand on the front. This only looks like a clock up close, it’s obviously a safe when you’re examining it, plus it’s way to heavy to just be a clock. Saying that, I still want one because having any other safe exposed on my night stand would stand out like crazy! This can blend in to a certain degree.
Yeah, I think people miss the point that this is for a quick break in and out situation. If the robber has enough time to look at branding, they're likely going to take more than what's inside a small gun safe.
**The drawer will open all the way with a lil WD-40 on each side of the track. Mine was like that too. It's been fine for 3 years now after just one application.
People are thinking way too hard about it expecting a tiny safe to protect all their worldly possessions or something. This sort of thing is for quick in and out jobs. If someone has enough time look through and be picky about brands, you’re likely not going to be left with much let alone worried about a little clock safe.
Yeah, I don’t get it. If someone is able to get into your house uninvited in the first place, there’s a major problem with your setup to begin with. If you’re really that worried, invest in a nice big secure safe, not a tiny one that barely holds two guns.
I keep a S/A Hellcat w/Optic and an Sig P938 with an extra mag for each. It's a little tight but functional and I can retrieve either firearm easily. I wish it was a little more discreet as to its purpose with maybe a radio faceplate or fake controls over the battery cover and not plastering the Hornaday brand on the front. I think I'm going to 3d print a different cover.
Nice review, but I still prefer the Vara Safety Reach 2. It can be mounted to any piece of furniture or inside a vehicle with a car mounting kit. It's also biometric to only programmed fingerprints, so even tho the weapon is exposed, kids can't take it out of the safe. It can also withstand more than 300 lbs of force and the lock will not let the weapon go. I've got one mounted to my drivers seat in the car and it is literally just under my knee when driving. I've got another bolted to the side of my bed's frame on my side. The wife has one on her side. Similar price too. Car mount kit a little extra, but well worth it. Safe isn't limited to certain weapon sizes either, like this is. Sub-compact up to full size. Your choice.
I like this option better than the radio vault, but think it can borrow some design elements from it. The radio vault is to big, and being it has modern interfaces, probably a stealing target making it more retro like this one does, is better. Thanks for the review, i do like this, but i think it needs 3 changes to be perfect. remove the numbers on the front, make them only light up when pressed, or, make it a clock radio since its retro, and make those buttons up on top like that type of device has commonly, then make them the combination keys as well, only they say things that are appropriate to a clock radio. The spring you already mentioned, and last is, remove the hornady logo from the front panel..... it 100% defeats the purpose of a concealed safe, to advertise its a related to guns manufacturer right on its front.
I have this safe. It works great and you really can't see the Hornady name on the front unless you're really staring at it. It is very inconspicuous in plain sight. That's why I bought it.
I bought it because of the slide-out drawer. But I don't seem to be capable of programming the darned thing. I've followed all the instructions several times. I have gotten all the success signals on entering a four digit code. Won't open. What secret am I missing?
I just purchased one of these. How hard do you have to push your door in to get it to lock? I seemingly have to push it in way harder to get the sensor to trigger than the product videos shows.
That’s hard to say without actually feeling your safe. There’s a spring providing resistance that you have to overcome but I wouldn’t say it’s anything too crazy. Definitely heavier than a kitchen drawer but not like pushing furniture or anything like that.
They shouldn't of put the name Hornady on the front, that gives away that it's a gun safe. Put a model name on it. Put the name on the back or something
I like how people here are complaining about Hornady branding ..... you guys live in a bubble. Even majority of gunowners propably have no idea what Hornady is. Unless they handload.
Definitely a good buy but wish there was another option in colors.. The wife will shoot me if I get a plain black box on her new cream colored nightstands.. I found a similar option with the color I need but sold out. I’ll keep looking…
If a robber really wants something, they're likely going to get it one way or another. It's about preparation. If you're not prepared and put all your eggs in one basket, that's your fault.
Bought the clock safe product and the clock is always off in a short amount of time. Suddenly after several months the green lock light stays on. Called customer service and the call was answered by a sarcastic passive aggressive trash employee. He claimed that I could mail the heavy thing in but the processor has not and will not be corrected as they use the same one and "are trying to find another processor" since it's inception. He also claimed that the green light has always been a constant light although I told him repeatedly that was not the case when I purchased it. He mocked me for saying the green lock light defeated the low profile purpose of the safe saying "oh wow, a giant greenight that's 1/2" tall" This man has represented Hornady as an absolutely disgusting company to deal with. I told him that was **** move and he said I was being "aggressive" Lol find a way to live better Hornady guy...

You should send your recommendations to Hornady 👍🏽

Interesting. Definitely worth a try 👍🏽
WD-40 is not a lubricant. Use gun oil or another light oil.
A thief may not be convinced, but this is perfect for those who have children!
Whatever works 👍🏽
“Hornady “. on front! Yea right!
Yes, that is right. "Hornady" is written on the front.
Great review, Hai! Thank you. Been thinking about this safe for a few days now.
Glad it was helpful!
How secret is it with Hornady on the front?
You’re under the assumption that everyone knows what Hornady is. I had no idea what it was or how to even pronounce the name until getting into guns.
No shit, right?!

Should have Panasonics or Sany or Tushiba written on it lol
Its a really cool idea, but jesus crist Hornady. Way to make it obvious with that logo on the front.

Thanks for sharing!
This is a great review. Good job
Thank you!
I wish the front said SONY or GE on it.
That wish will likely never be fulfilled for obvious reasons.
Im sure you can find a sony sticker to put over the hornady logo. Problem solved.
SANY or GF could work as the letters look similar at first glance.
Yeah, with the rather conspicuous Hornady logo on the front.
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
Put a piece of tape over it. Problem solved.
A great concept but for now I’ve ordered a Vaultek slider series. This is interesting thought.
Whatever works for you 👍🏽
How has the vaultek worked for you?
No snooze alarm? No alarm at all? So I have to keep my alarm clock next to this?
Yes, but I’m more so surprised that people are still using traditional alarm clocks.
good review. helped me find the aaa battery compartment
For future reference, stuff like that’s usually in the manual that’s included with the product 👍🏽
I checked. Two G19’s will fit.
Good to know 👍🏽
Thanks, finally got my clock reset.
You’re welcome!
@@HaiTran I can't set my time. I hold the time button as required in the manual, nothing blinks as suggested. Thanks.
If you're following the manual correctly and the product doesn't work properly, it's time to contact the manufacturer.
Nice review. Thank you Sir.
You’re welcome!
great review! will the keypad still work if the LED is not on?
Would a nfc ring open it? MY SAMSUNG PHONE AND WATCH OPEN THE SAFE BECAUSE OF ITS NFC. wonder if a nfc ring would work.
Might be picking this up soon
Good luck 👍🏽
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great review
Thank you 👍🏽
Nice video and thanks!
You’re welcome!
I bought it because of the slide-out drawer. But I don't seem to be capable of programming the darned thing. I've followed all the instructions several times. I have gotten all the success signals on entering a four digit code. Won't open. What secret am I missing?
If you feel that you’re doing everything correctly then maybe it’s time to contact the manufacturer about the problems.
How do you change the clock
You should contact Hornady. They can probably provide you with the manual.
Discretion is the best security
I just purchased one of these. How hard do you have to push your door in to get it to lock? I seemingly have to push it in way harder to get the sensor to trigger than the product videos shows.
That’s hard to say without actually feeling your safe. There’s a spring providing resistance that you have to overcome but I wouldn’t say it’s anything too crazy. Definitely heavier than a kitchen drawer but not like pushing furniture or anything like that.
I don't see the keypad being lit all the time, I thought I understood from your video that it is lit at all times?
The keypad was barely ever lit in the video. The only aspect constantly lit is the time.
What numbers are on available on the pad or can you just use 1-9
Ya know what I don't like? It has "HORNADY" right across it! It screams gun!
If you know the gun industry. I'm sure I can list a bunch of weird brands that you'll have no idea what they'll be associated with.
A strip of electrical tape to cover the name up would be one of the first things I’d do if I had one.
@@tattooedable even better yet...some anti gun propaganda Sticker lol
@@cz6971 that’ll make it something they’d want to steal 😂
This is awesome 😎
Agreed 👍🏽
I can't get the little light that indicates that the safe is locked to turn off. Does anyone else have this issue...?
They shouldn't of put the name Hornady on the front, that gives away that it's a gun safe. Put a model name on it. Put the name on the back or something
Wish it had an alarm clock function with it.
Suggest that to the manufacturer 👍🏽
I just wish hornady used their brains a bit and put the word "hornady" on the back of the unit. My initial thought when looking at this unit.
This is definitely something I am looking for…my main question is, is it air lock tight?
Are you asking if it's air tight?
@@HaiTran yes I am
It is not.
How do you make the green lock icon disappear after it is closed?
It disappears by itself for me. If it doesn't for you then you may want to read the manual to see otherwise.
I came here for the safe review but the main thing I noticed was the F3.
If you know, you know 👍🏽
Replace the Hornady badge with "Radio Shack."
You should recommend that to Hornady, they’re the manufacturer👍🏽
Can you dim the clock numerals? thanks
You can!
Wish it has physical buttons
It is what it is.
Wish it had a biometric reader instead of rfid
It is what it is.
What are the limitations as far as the numerical code goes. Are the numbers 1-10 or less
There are 4 numbers to choose from.
I like how people here are complaining about Hornady branding ..... you guys live in a bubble. Even majority of gunowners propably have no idea what Hornady is. Unless they handload.
People always have to complain about something 👍🏽
Would be nice if it has a laptop lock chain at the back
It does.
Definitely a good buy but wish there was another option in colors.. The wife will shoot me if I get a plain black box on her new cream colored nightstands.. I found a similar option with the color I need but sold out. I’ll keep looking…
A can of spray paint can do wonders.
Midway USA has it in cream
Does it have alarm clock settings
If I'm correct, then no.
You think ther'se enough space for a x300 and RMR?
I suppose it depends on what you attach them to. Just measure your setup and compare to the listed dimensions.
Is the Time real time though ?
As in, is it a real clock? Is so, then yes.
Do you know if the drawer is removable? I have something caught behind the drawer
I’ve never tried removing it so can’t confirm but I would imagine that the manufacturer had to get it in somehow so it probably is removable.
Subbed
Thank you!
Decent
Descent
What if the robber want to steal
those camera & the clock?
If a robber really wants something, they're likely going to get it one way or another. It's about preparation. If you're not prepared and put all your eggs in one basket, that's your fault.
How do you change the time?
You press the button that says time then adjust with arrows. This was listed in the manual.
Can it be bolted down?
It can be tethered to something. If you want to bolt it down you’ll have to drill some holes.
It would be better if you didn’t have the word Hornaday on the front to
It is what it is.
*its glock o’ clock*
It is ALWAYS Glock o’ clock!
👍
👍🏽
great if you have roomates for your wallet , money , drugs, etc
Anything that fits in it…
Horn daddy?
All day, every day.
They should NOT have put their logo on the front!
