Best Budget Gun Safes Under $100

TL;DR: The Billconch Biometric Gun Safe delivers ultra‑fast 40‑fingerprint access, four unlock options and a rechargeable 2200 mAh battery for $89.99, making it the top‑valued choice for quick‑draw handgun storage.

The standout spec is its 40‑fingerprint capacity paired with a sub‑second unlock speed, letting you open the safe in under one second. You can also unlock it via a 6‑15 digit PIN, a short‑range Bluetooth app, or the included physical key, and the unit runs on a 2200 mAh rechargeable lithium‑ion battery.

At $89.99, the Billconch unit sits above the $79.99 price tag of the Molicar safe and the $79.00 price of the Liberty HDV‑90, while still costing more than the $63.99 Miisekmy and $35.99 RPNB models. It weighs 8.38 pounds, making it lighter than Molicar’s 8.8‑pound version but noticeably heavier than Liberty’s roughly 5‑pound design and the Miisekmy safe that tips the scales at about 3125 g.

Reviewers love the lightning‑fast fingerprint read and the quiet “mute mode,” noting that the smart LCD with voice navigation feels intuitive. Professional reviewers highlight the solid alloy‑steel construction with a double U‑lock and a four‑layer anti‑corrosion coating. Some users mention that the slim height can make storing larger pistols a tight fit, and the Bluetooth range is limited to close proximity, which can be a drawback for remote access.

Additional technical touches include an interior LED light, ESD‑safe sponge lining, USB/Micro‑USB charging, and an emergency power port. The app lets you check battery status, manage fingerprints, view unlock history and change passwords, adding a layer of convenience that many competitors lack.

Best for: Buyers willing to invest in a proven, high‑quality option — the Billconch Biometric Gun Safe offers Fingerprint Capacity: 40 fingerprints

Avoid if: You're on a tight budget or only need basic functionality

TL;DR: The RPNB Gun Safe packs a 1900‑lb steel cable, 40‑minute fire protection and up to 20 fingerprint slots into a compact 11.86‑lb box for just $35.99.

The standout spec is the 1900‑lb rated security cable that stretches 3.2 feet, giving you a robust way to bolt the safe to a desk or vehicle. Inside, the high‑resolution fingerprint scanner can store up to 20 fingerprints, and the interior LED with motion sensor lights the eight pistol holsters, barrel hole and assorted pouches.

Compared with the four other safes in this roundup, the RPNB is heavier than the Billconch model (8.38 lb) but lighter than the Miisekmy unit, whose weight is listed in grams. Its fingerprint capacity of 20 is lower than Miisekmy’s 50 and Billconch’s 40, yet still ample for most concealed‑carry users. The 3.2‑foot cable is slightly shorter than Molicar’s 40.16‑inch cable, while the Liberty safe offers a built‑in cable but without a length spec. In terms of fire protection, only the RPNB mentions a 40‑minute rating, giving it an edge for heat‑risk scenarios.

Professional reviewers note that the biometric lock and internal power strip are features usually found at higher price points, and users appreciate the shock‑proof carrying handle for travel or car storage. However, the product sheet does not list battery life or a detailed warranty, which some buyers find a drawback when seeking long‑term assurance.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option — the RPNB Gun Safe offers Fingerprint Capacity: Up to 20 fingerprints

TL;DR: The Molicar Biometric Gun Safe delivers ultra‑fast 0.1‑second fingerprint access, holds up to two handguns, and includes a 40.16‑inch mounting cable, all for $79.99.

What really stands out is the 0.1‑second unlock time, letting you draw a firearm in an emergency without fumbling. The safe also stores up to 100 fingerprints and offers a 4‑6 digit password plus two backup keys, giving several layers of redundancy.

Compared with the other four safes in this roundup, the Molicar is heavier than the Billconch model (8.8 lb vs 8.38 lb) and considerably heftier than the Liberty Safe HDV‑90 (around 5 lb). It also tips the scales against the Miisekmy unit (3125 g) but still fits on a bedside table thanks to its compact exterior dimensions (250 mm × 80 mm × 320 mm). The RPNB safe doesn’t list a weight, so direct comparison isn’t possible.

Reviewers consistently praise the lightning‑quick fingerprint scan and the built‑in 10‑second LED display that shows temperature, humidity, battery status and time. However, the interior foam liner only accommodates two standard handguns or one larger pistol, which limits the safe for owners with larger collections. Professional reviewers note the solid alloy‑steel construction (2 mm thickness) and the mute function for discreet operation.

Additional technical touches include a 40.16‑inch mounting cable for flexible installation, a USB‑C emergency port, and a mute switch that silences the motor. The LCD display stays lit for 10 seconds, giving you quick status checks without draining power.

Avoid if: You're shopping on a tight budget — it's priced at $79.99

TL;DR: The Miisekmy GS‑572 offers fast sub‑second biometric access, 50 user slots and a compact 2‑inch profile for $63.99, making it a solid entry‑level handgun safe.

This safe’s standout spec is its fingerprint capacity of 50 users and a recognition speed of ≤1 second, letting you unlock your pistols almost instantly. It stores up to two standard‑size pistols inside a slim 12.1‑inch depth, 7.7‑inch width and 2‑inch height package, and the whole unit weighs 6.9 lb.

At $63.99, it sits well below the Billconch Biometric Gun Safe’s price point, while still offering more user slots than the Liberty Safe, which weighs around 5 lb. Compared with the Molicar model (8.8 lb) and the Billconch unit (8.38 lb), the Miisekmy is lighter than those bulkier options but heavier than the Liberty Safe.

Professional reviewers praise the quick biometric response and the heavy‑duty carbon‑steel construction, noting that the built‑in LED interior light makes locating firearms easy. Users appreciate the portable carry handle and the low‑battery alert, but they also point out the lack of any fire‑rating and the 2‑inch height, which can restrict larger pistols.

Additional technical details include a rechargeable lithium‑ion battery charged via a Type‑C port, a backlit 6‑digit keypad, and a scratch‑resistant finish. The safe also ships with a security cable, two backup keys, and supports up to 50 electronic keypad codes.

Best for: Entry-level buyers or those on a tight budget — the Miisekmy Biometric Gun Safe offers Fingerprint Capacity: 50

Avoid if: You need powerful performance or professional‑grade features

TL;DR: The Liberty Safe HDV-90 packs a 16‑gauge steel shell, 0.09 cubic‑foot interior and a key lock into a 5‑lb, 10.75‑inch‑deep box that’s TSA‑approved and priced at $79.

The HDV-90’s most distinctive spec is its 16 Gauge steel construction paired with a dual‑contact interlocking latch and reinforced interior hinge, all within a compact footprint of 10.75 inches exterior depth, 2.5 inches exterior height and 7.625 inches exterior width. Its interior holds 0.09 cubic feet of space—enough for a single handgun and a few small valuables—while weighing just 5.01–5.10 lbs, making it truly portable.

Compared with the four other safes in this roundup, the HDV-90 is lighter than the Molicar Biometric Gun Safe (8.8 pounds) and the Billconch Biometric Gun Safe (8.38 pounds). It also sits a fraction slimmer than the RPNB Gun Safe, whose exterior depth is listed at 10.83 inches and height at 3.15 inches, but the RPNB offers a larger interior volume. Unlike the Billconch and Miisekmy models, the HDV-90 relies on a secure cylinder key entry rather than biometric or app‑based access, and it does not list any fingerprint capacity.

Professional reviewers note the HDV-90’s “highly portable and compact design” and praise its inclusion of a security cable, TSA‑compatible certification and California DOJ approval. However, the single‑handgun capacity and key‑only access have drawn criticism, reflected in its below‑average 3.0/5 star rating from the lone review. Users who travel often appreciate the lightweight build and the ability to slip the safe into a vehicle glove box or nightstand drawer.

Best for: Travelers and vehicle owners who need a lightweight, TSA‑approved lockbox for one handgun and a few small items.

Avoid if: You require storage for multiple firearms or prefer biometric, keypad or mobile‑app unlocking methods.
