Thread: Recent E-cat safe deals/inspections?

Planning to finally join a pistol club, and leaning towards a E-cat safe with internal lockable compartment for ammo, rather than getting a pistol safe and a separate ammo safe.

Been looking at reloaders for the extreme security 8 gun ecat safe ($1099), the KILWELL 10 gun ecat ($1299) is on the bulkier side for my tiny collection at the moment.

Anyone had experience with the that safe? Or any recent successful B-cat/E-cat inspection stories?

The police storage guideline using a lot of "shall", "should", making it quite vague.

"A cabinet should be bolted to a minimum of two surfaces, one of which shall be the floor. Bolt shafts shall be a minimum of 10 mm in diameter and when bolted into concrete, expanding or chemical setting bolts may be used. Where the cabinet is bolted to a wooden floor it shall be through bolted to a steel plate which exceeds the floor area of the cabinet and is retained on at least two floor joists."

I'd have the choices of putting the safe in the downstairs spare room's wardrobe (concrete slab), or the upstairs spare room's wardrobe if I can manage to drag that thing upstairs - the only way to put a steel plate under the wooden floor would be cutting open the ceiling in the downstairs room, is that something to be expected or considered safe?

Now think again, I'm leaning towards the downstairs room, just need to get a impact drill n masonry bits I suppose... any thoughts? Thanks...
