GunVault MicroVault MV500 Gun Safe

GunVault MicroVault MV500 Gun Safe

While at the office, I usually have a handgun sitting on my desk. However, having to reholster every time I walk away from my desk is a bit of a hassle. So, I recently picked up the GunVault MicroVault MV500 gun safe. This little safe is well built, and gives me the added security I’ve been looking for.

As you can see from the following image, the GunVault MicroVault MV500 is the perfect size for your EDC gear. Mine is currently storing the Glock 36, an extra magazine loaded with Sig Sauer Elite Performance 45 Auto ammo, and a Spyderco Native 5 G-10 knife.
