Hornady Security RAPiD Safe Night Guard

The latest security product to leverage the company’s RAPiD Safe touch-free radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, Hornady Security’s Night Guard is a ruggedly built handgun safe sized perfectly (12"x10.5"x3") for use atop your bedside nightstand—ensuring that overnight protection is always close at hand and easily accessible. While entry can also be gained via either a user-programmable access code or a physical barrel key, the fastest way to open the Night Guard is using the RFID reader located in the face of its clock display, and four included tags can be linked to the safe for that purpose. Other features include a spring-assisted drawer, a padded interior, pre-drilled mounting holes and a pair of USB-A ports for charging your devices. Price: $340. Contact: Hornady Mfg. Co.; (800) 338-3220; store.hornady.com.
