Wouldn't want you to do anything less...

BTW, they do offer the option that if you buy more than one box, have them keyed alike...

I bought two originally keyed alike, one for my truck and one for my wife's car...

I later bought one for my Dad, and had that one keyed like ours...

So I am kinda partial to how well these folks worked for us...

Keep us updated...

Totally, totally agree!!!
I like the COM boxes alot and hear good things about them, and
recently exchanged emails with the COM folks about a version
with a pushbutton (blind/in-the-dark) combination lock rather
than a key lock, but I don't think anything will be forthcoming.

I have a pretty strong aversion to gun storage where keys are
involved. It's just trading one problem for another (where do I
put my gun so it's safe, vs. where do I put this key so it's safe)
and I'd hate to have to need to get at my gun and for whatever
reason, not have quick access to the key.

I presently use pistol cases with pushbutton padlocks designed
for use by blind people, which can be opened by feel alone, e.g.
middle of the night, don't want to either attract attention by
turning on a light nor take your eyes off someone/some area,
etc.

I've been trying to figure out how to put one of the following
in my Jeep. Both have the benefit of not relying on
any batteries, etc. and as long as you're memory is OK, you
will always have the key handy and out of the hands of others
(kids, or anyone who gets ahold of your car keys, etc.).

If you're cool with keys, though, the COM products look great.
I would say that this method, like some others, are not totally fool-proof...

They are though somewhat of a slow-down to your average "smash-and-grabber" thief...And thats about it...

If the vehicle is stolen, well then thats not much of a comfort...Regardless of what you have in the vehicle...

I would point out that this particular system is flexible enough to be used not only in your vehicle, but the safes are airline and TSA rated as acceptable to secure these items for flight in your check in baggage...They don't take up a lot of room in your baggage, and can be secured in your room if you can find a suitable part if the structure to loop the cable that comes with the safe to that...

Just some additional things to think about...
