Cannon gun safes are among the most popular on the market. For this reason, many people are obviously interested in how they compare with Remington, Stack on, and other name brand firms.
They make quite a few models, so picking the right one for you can be somewhat challenging. Here is a review of one of their most popular models:
TS6040
This is easily one of their most talked about models, so does it live up to the hype? Here are its' features to help you find out:
Security
Like many larger safes, this one has drilled in holes which enable it to be bolted to the ground. In other words, no one can carry it off. The steel is also reasonably thick, meaning most people will have a hard time breaking in.
Size
It is able to handle up to 36 guns, which is more than enough even for the most avid hunter. However, the negative is that the exterior is very big, meaning you need a lot of room to put it.
The dimensions are 60 by 24 inches, so you have to have a fairly large area to store it. Since it is 24 inches wide, it is one of the widest models on the market.
Fire resistance
This one is built to withstand a 1200 degree blaze for 30 minutes. This is nothing special, as there are plenty of models out there that can do better.
Charging capability
One of the unique features about this model is that it has the ability to charge up electrical devices inside it. Not many other safes can say the same.
Adjustable shelving
This is one of the things Cannon is noted for. Therefore, you can change around the interior to fit whatever you want to inside.
Intangibles
Like every Cannon safe, this one is built in the United States. Therefore, if you are sick of buying "made in China" products and want to support the local economy, this is the one for you.
Warranty
It comes with a lifetime warranty, which you obviously can not beat.
Price
It sells for $ 1000. In other words … it's not exactly the cheapest model around. However, for a safe of this size and quality, this is a relative bargain.
The bottom line – Cannon Gun Safes are among the better ones out there, and the TS6040 is no exception. It definitely is not necessary if you just own 1 or 2 guns. However, if you need to keep either lots of guns or other valuables, this model is one of the best money can buy.
