Stack-On, an American company out of the great state of Illinois has been manufacturing steel crafted organizational products for nearly 40 years. Among their many products, and likely their most recognizable are their gun cabinets and gun safes. The company has found an effective balance between, quality made, relatively inexpensive, and widely available products built for securing firearms and other valuables in the home.
Any responsible gun owner should own a means of preventing casual access to their firearms (even non responsible gun owners should apply this as a priority). The most common ways of achieving this are through means of either gun cabinet or a gun safe (sometimes both) – two similar, yet totally different things. Gun cabinets are typically designed to be an inexpensive way to keep gun out of the hands of children. Sly marketers and retail sales clerks may attempt to deceive one into thinking that they’re formidable forces against serious burglars, floods, and fires – don’t be fooled – gun cabinets are great for what they are, but you’ll never find one that can stand a chance against flames or a determined thief.
Stack On makes some fantastic steel gun cabinets, loaded to the gills with a lot of slick features at a competitive price. They produce many different models, including those of 6 to 24 gun capacities. Nearly all gun cabinets, Stack-On’s included are operated by key entry, which is standard. If you’re in the market for a cabinet, and you see a good deal on a Stack On, I’d strongly recommend it.
Gun safes are generally far more substantial than their cabinet cousins. They are built heavier, thicker, often with fire board and ceramic insulation, and sealed tightly against theft protection with solid steel bolts. A Stack-On gun safe is a product worth considering, if you’re in the $600-$1500 range. They manufacture cheaper models, however, they don’t offer fire protection, and in my humble opinion, if you aren’t going to invest in fire protection, step down to a gun cabinet. The ‘Total Defense’ and ‘Elite’ models are their finest products, and as mentioned before, heavy contenders in the mid price range safe market.
If you’re looking for a home security solution that won’t break your bank, a Stack-On may just be your ticket.
