BILLCONCH Smart Gun Safe with Security Cable - Biometric Pistol Safe for Handgun 4 Ways Quick Access with Fingerprint/Keypad/Key/APP Lock, for Nightstand Bedside Home Car with LCD and Voice GuideRecycled Claim Standard Blended

I picked up the BILLCONCH Smart Gun Safe for my nightstand and I’m really happy with it. Setup was straightforward—the voice guide walked me through enrolling my fingerprints and setting a PIN, and the LCD made it easy to check battery status. The build feels solid, the door opens smoothly, and the biometric reader has been fast and reliable for me. I also like that the interior is padded so my handgun doesn’t rattle around, and the compact size slips neatly into my drawer.What sold me is the flexibility and peace of mind. Having four ways to get in—fingerprint, keypad, back-up keys, and the app—means I’m never locked out, and the included security cable lets me anchor it in the bedroom or the car when I’m traveling. The app has been handy for quick setting tweaks, and I appreciate being able to keep the safe locked when kids or guests are around while still having quick access if I need it. Overall, it’s a sturdy, smart upgrade that’s made responsible storage easy.

I have it set up by my bedside for now, but I will be moving it to the closet when I get a smaller Vaultek one. The large one is quite roomy. It fits my Glock 43X in the IWB holster with two magazines and a 50 round case of ammo (with a bit of room to spare).Pro tip: the fingerprint reader is very picky, I ended up saving three different fingerprints of the same finger. One for the top part one for the middle part and one for the bottom part of the finger. When you use your fingerprint it tells you which saved “ID” it used, and I can see it picking a different one each time.

Omg I looove this item. It is perfect for securing a firearm in a way that is safe while maintaining quick access via key, remote unlock from app, fingerprint or access code. I love the fact I can add multiple fingerprints for access and it tracks in app who accessed it and how the box was accessed. It can also be chained down with the provided tether adding another method of security. It fits a standard length 9mil, 2 mags and a box of ammo with enough room for a 3rd mag if needed.

Should I begin with the way it's built like a mini Fort Knox, with 4 ways to get into it? Oh, I know what some of you're thinking: It's a little tabletop safe, they'll just take it. Yeah, good luck with that; unless they can figure out how to get my entire bed frame through the doorways too. Yes, it comes with a security cable that bolts to the inside of the safe, so it can be tethered to an immovable object.You can set fingerprints & combinations for few people; fingerprint opens the spring-loaded lid in about 1 secondary less. Then there's an app that can be used to program & open it, and, of course, 2 keys, Programming instructions seem a bit complex, but scan the QR code and you can watch a video of it being programmed. Watch the video a couple times, then follow the video, pausing for each step, to program it. You can clear & start over if you need to.There is some noise when you open it, One is the female voice talking, the other is the click of the lid unlocking. They aren't exceptionally loud,but someone nearby is going to hear it. If there's a way to turn it off or turn it down, I haven't discovered it yet.It's roomy enough that I have a full size and a compact in it, but with attachments, without them being crowded together.I also keep a couple other small things in there, things I want secured without the hassle of the big safe.I bought this particular one because a friend has it and was telling me about his. I'm very pleased with this and believe it to be worth every penny I spent for the peace of mind it gives me, knowing the weapons are secure but can be accessed in literally a second if needed.

UPDATE:Company is super-responsive and cares about their products and customers. I wrote an email describing in detail the issues - and they wrote back within hours and had done a bunch of research to find out they have a new part with a cut-out that will fix the problem of the ribbon cable getting worn. They even sent a picture of the new part and comms with the engineers. Very impressed with BillConch.It's been a few weeks - safe working great - love it!Hello! My name is Aaron,I own and operate a computer repair and service business for the past 13 years in Richmond, VA. As an electronics technician, electronics hobbyist designer, computer systems engineer and union electrician of 20 years - I would like to offer some constructive criticism to the company, a simple repair/fix on their assembly line, and a fix for current and future owners that may see the following behavior of the BILLCONCH Model:B1 Gun Safe.While it was disappointing to have an issue, I really like the safe, the features, the build quality, etc. I would have given it 5-stars on Amazon if not for my “issue”. Since I was able to diagnose and repair the problem, I’m still keeping it – so, let that be a testament to this product! Thanks!After repair, everything seems to work great, including rejecting fingerprints - which seems to be a complaint - where it "accepts any fingerprint". I did not find this to be true and FP appears to accept/reject fine. I propose that perhaps this issue is also causing issues for others and their unit's ability to recognize/reject their prints.PROBLEM:1. Unit does not turn on or respond/charge with battery or USB cable.2. Unit turns off while pressing on fingerprint reader or on plastic bezel with very little, to moderate pressure (Specifically to the right, or right lower side of the FR).In my specific case, on arrival(!) - the unit worked fine during setup, inserted codes and fingerprints and charged the battery (which came practically fully charged!). I later (same day) observed the unit turn off instantly while enrolling a second user. The unit did not turn back on without somewhat forcefully tapping on the bezel, between the fingerprint reader and the speaker grill. I was then able to repeat the “instant off” condition by applying slight pressure on the bezel, while “lifting” the bezel from the frame ever-so-slightly caused the unit to power back on. Sometimes the unit would “stay-off” while other times it would turn on and off based on if the bezel had downward pressure applied or not.DIAGNOSIS and OBSERVATIONS:1. A SCREW that affixes the PCB to the rear of the bezel may cause a direct-short condition. The screw is one of two screws, located beneath the flat-flex ribbon cable responsible for connecting the GND, 3.3V and LED ring-light power to the Fingerprint reader’s daughter-board. In my case, the small, Phillips-Head screw had “sharp points” that had pierced the flat-flex ribbon cable, direct-shorting the 3.3v and GND lines – causing the unit to turn off.A. The back cover/bottom of the control panel ever-so-slightly bulges at the location of the screw/ribbon cable, indicating there is no extra room between the black “backing panel” and the cable/screw. When the front panel is screwed down flat, the flat-flex ribbon cable is being pressed into the PCB mounting screw, causing rubbing and ultimately, an electrical short. Providing extra room here would solve the issue, but may be unacceptable, as it would increase the overall height of the control panel and require substantial retooling and manufacturing of a new part.B. The screw responsible for the damage has a slightly taller head than the other mounting screws, maybe by a half a millimeter. Using a flatter, thinner screw head would also fix this issue.C. The screw pierced the flat-flex ribbon cable due to what looks like the “witness marks” of the driver that put it in… that is, the screw’s cross-pattern deformed slightly while being torqued down, causing metal spikes at the four inner-corners of the cross-pattern. A better machined screw head or a higher hardness screw would fix this, likely.SUGGESTED CHANGE FOR COMPANY/ASSY LINE:1. Apply a small piece of Kapton tape over the screws, below the ribbon cable.FIX FOR USERS:1. Remove the 4 rubber grommets and screws located on the front panel.2. Remove the back cover by snapping the back cover away from the tabs and expose the rear circuit boards and electronics of the front control panel.3. Unlock the flat-flex ribbon cable from the far-side labeled GND-3.3V-LED by moving the black plastic clip horizontally, away from the connector by a millimeter or two.4. Remove the flat-flex cable from the connector and flip the cable up and back, inspect for damage and identify if your screw has pierced your cable. If so, I removed the screw and used a small metal file to file the screw head flat, eliminating the tiny ridges/spikes that were causing the damage and making the screw less-tall. Then, apply a piece of Kapton tape or perhaps electrical tape over the screws, located below the cable. Reassemble and good luck!
