Thanks so much for this! My brother is trying to convince me to get a wall safe for twice the cost of this one. It’s an electric unit that reads a fingerprint. I have to admit it’s a bit faster in the access to the gun than the Shot Lock vault but a second or two only. I like that this one is mechanical rather than powered. It’s just something else I don’t have to worry about, the battery or recharging it. We do enough of that crap everyday!
Thank you for this video. We have a 3 year old daughter and I will be buying the ShotLock, before I even purchase the shotgun. This will make me feel secure that our daughter will not be able to access it but still will be accessible for home defense.
Thanks for this I just bought a 12 gauge I’ve been wanting to mount on my wall similar to how you have it haven’t done it because of my four boys I’m scared they will get it. This is a perfect solution to that problem great review
I bought one of these because of this review and a few others. It's raked open about as easily as a master lock. I can get in under 5 secs with a bobby pin.
Thanks for the review, I just bought the updated mechanical version of the this type... Food for thought, I also mounted it for a 500, but I have it muzzle down... Keeps the dust out and it comes out in my hands the way I will be holding it should I have to use it
Nice, I saw that they did have an updated version. I can see muzzle down depending on what wall you put it on and your angle of access. Did you only mount it to the stud or dry wall anchors also?
I would never store a shotgun with a round in the chamber. It is not the same thing as storing a modern striker-fired semiautomatic pistol. For example, on a Glock the trigger has to pulled for it to discharge. When the trigger is at rest the firing pin is blocked. This explains why Glocks are considered drop safe. This is not the case for most shotguns. They do not have firing pin blocks. Therefore shotguns ARE NOT drop safe. If there’s a round in the chamber and the shotgun falls down in the closet or it’s dropped, it can go off by itself. Even with the safety on - the safety just prevents the trigger from being pulled, it doesn’t block the hammer, it doesn’t block the firing pin, and it doesn’t prevent the gun from being discharged if there’s some kind of sudden jolt.
Nice video and great review. It's a good product for denying children access to it but if offers no protection from theft. Two tugs on a large crowbar would strip the vault and firearm from the stud and away they'd both go.
john moore It should, they are pretty universal and configurable. Here is the fit chart on their web site www.shotlock.com/Gallery.php Here are new models I just found on amazon: amzn.to/1GXSgRe
Did I hear you right?...one in the chamber safety off? Why do you leave safety off? So risky getting that out of the lock in a very high stress situation and it going bang. It's just a quick push of a button to take it off safe. Something that can be done in total darkness...mind you that it's stored behind a door and could be hit and kids could mess with it to. I would keep safety on while locked. I mean even handguns now with no visible safety have a internal trigger safety.
Sounds like argument against glock trigger. My worries are with safeties on rapid deployment weapon...not carry. To each his own. My safety is my finger.
@@danielarmer579 I know the “safety off in storage” argument is for fast use in a bad situation, but honestly you can turn any safety off almost instantly once it’s in your hands. I’m a safety on kinda guy, but to each their own.
If kids safety is concern it would be best to leave tube loaded and nothing in chamber and shot gun locked and not have rounds hanging on or near gun.Kids tend to be curious.
why would you want your shotgun on such an open display? why not in a closet? seems like an open invitation for thieves to pry it off the wall if they break in when you aren’t home. I keep mine in the closet, out of sight from my guests when people are over. Having a loaded shotgun hanging on the wall is not a good look. And I grew up in a house with 100+ guns so I’m no stranger to having firearms around the house
Storing your shotgun chambered is a bad idea. Using a shotgun for home defense is even worse. You will shoot through your walls and your neighbors walls. Plus, keeping your shotguns tube loaded, will loosen the spring inside. It's a weaker spring, compared to pistol magazines. Just saying!
I like your basic video and explanation, but since I have a semi-auto loader, I'd store it chambered with the safety on. No extra steps. I use all my self defense firearms in condition one.

Hey man really appreciate your review. You answered all my questions. This wall lock seem truly ideal. Thank you for your time.

Indeed! I have two small children now and have no worries about this. Thanks!

Never had a issue giggling mine open. Maybe contact the MFG for replacement?
dR00Ck The key lock itself is just junk. I returned it and showed them on two other models of the same brand.
Maximum Ordinate any suggestions on something with a better lock?
How did you open it I’m trying to open mine bc I forgot my combo?
@@joeyr786 I used a lock pick but you can use any similar sized key. Jiggle while turning.

Can you tell me if a shotgun equipped with a Picatinny rail and rear Ghost-Ring sight would fit inside the ShotLock?
Thanks for the review I've been looking for a safe for my shotgun so it don't fall in the wrong hands
+David Carter Good deal! I just helped my sister install one of these.

thanks for the review. Semper Paratus!
Corey NO GMO Sure thing! I have a few new additions to the mossberg I will make a video about soon.
The window is for a semi automatic cocking handle
Yes
The hole is for the auto loader to fit.
Would a Mossberg 500 tactical work in it?
john moore It should, they are pretty universal and configurable. Here is the fit chart on their web site www.shotlock.com/Gallery.php Here are new models I just found on amazon: amzn.to/1GXSgRe
Sounds like a great idea, unless you want a side rail on your Mossy. Good video though.

The conventional science says that only a full compression and expansion of the spring creates wear on a spring.

Be careful, bro. Just learn how to use the safety.
Seriously? I have to watch 2 minutes of advertising to see your review? Rediculous.
