Best Gun Safes with Biometric Fingerprint Access

TL;DR: For $69.99, the Billconch Biometric Gun Safe delivers 1‑second fingerprint access, 40‑fingerprint slots, and a rechargeable 1800 mAh battery in a compact 6.17‑lb package.

The standout spec is the 1‑second unlock time paired with a high‑resolution scanner that stores up to 40 fingerprints, letting you draw your handgun in a flash. A 1800 mAh Li‑Ion battery powers the LCD voice‑guided interface, LED interior light, and silent mode, while the double U‑lock with a security cable adds a physical barrier against prying.

Compared with the other seven safes in this roundup, Billconch is lighter than the Molicar model (8.8 pounds) and dramatically lighter than the Barska safe (62.0 pounds). Its exterior depth of 8.66 inches is shorter than the FlyDzrewt’s 11.81‑inch depth, and its interior width of 10.62 inches comfortably exceeds the Miisekmy’s 195 mm width, giving you a bit more room for a large handgun or two standard pistols. Price‑wise, it sits well below the premium options, making it the most budget‑friendly entry.

Everyday owners rave about the rapid fingerprint recognition and the intuitive voice‑guided setup, noting that the app lets you check battery status and manage fingerprints on the go. Professional reviewers highlight the 6‑12‑digit PIN (using only digits 1‑9) as a solid fallback, though they point out that the limited digit set reduces the total combination pool. Users also mention occasional false rejections when fingers are wet or calloused, and the 3‑minute hibernation lockout after ten failed attempts can feel like a delay in an urgent situation. The reliance on a rechargeable battery means you’ll need to keep the micro‑USB port topped up, though the USB emergency power port offers a safety net.

Beyond the core features, the safe supports four unlock methods—fingerprint, PIN, physical key, and smartphone app—so you always have a backup. The LCD display provides voice prompts, and the LED interior light makes it easy to see your firearm in low light. Silent mode keeps the unit discreet, and the rechargeable battery’s 1800 mAh capacity ensures several weeks of standby between charges.

Avoid if: You need a permanently mounted, heavy‑duty safe with extensive bolting options

TL;DR: The Billconch Smart Gun Safe offers one‑second biometric access, holds up to four pistols, and includes a Bluetooth app, all for $129.99, making it a fast, feature‑rich mid‑tier option.

The standout spec is its 1 second fingerprint unlock, backed by a high‑resolution scanner that can store up to 40 fingerprints. Inside, foldable brackets and a removable shelf accommodate up to four pistols, while a 2200‑2800 mAh lithium‑ion battery keeps the unit powered for extended periods. At 3810 g (8.4 lb), the safe feels solid without being overly cumbersome, and its 0.8 cubic‑foot volume fits comfortably on a nightstand or bedside table.

Compared with the other seven safes, the Billconch model is slightly lighter than the Molicar Biometric Gun Safe (8.8 lb) but heavier than the Vaultek LifePod 20 (1497 g). It also carries a higher price point than the budget‑friendly Molicar, yet it delivers more connectivity—its Bluetooth app isn’t listed for most peers. The double U‑lock and four‑layer powder coating give it a sturdier feel than the Miisekmy safe, which relies on carbon steel without a comparable coating.

Users consistently praise the instant fingerprint response, noting that it saves crucial seconds in emergencies. However, several owners mention occasional recognition hiccups in humid or dirty conditions, prompting a fallback to the PIN or physical key. The keypad’s restriction to digits 0‑9 is another frequent gripe, as it limits the total number of unique PIN combinations. Reviewers also point out that the 8.4 lb weight, while reassuringly solid, can be a drawback for those who need to move the safe frequently.

Beyond speed, the safe auto‑locks as soon as the door closes and enforces a three‑minute lockout after ten failed attempts, adding a layer of passive security. An LCD screen paired with voice guidance walks you through setup, while a silent‑mode option keeps alerts discreet. Interior LED lighting automatically illuminates the contents, and the ESD‑safe sponge lining protects firearms from scratches. The included security cable lets you tether the unit to a fixed point for extra peace of mind.

Best for: Most users looking for a well‑reviewed, reliable mainstream option — the Billconch Smart Gun Safe offers Failed Attempt Limit: 10 attempts

Avoid if: You have limited desk space or need portability

TL;DR: The Molicar Biometric Gun Safe unlocks in 0.1 seconds, holds up to two handguns, and includes a 40.16‑inch mounting cable, making it a fast, compact entry‑level option.

The standout spec is the 0.1‑second fingerprint unlock, which is dramatically quicker than the 1‑second unlock time listed for the Billconch Biometric Gun Safe. With a capacity for 100 fingerprints and a 4‑6 digit password option, the safe gives you plenty of ways to open it, plus two backup keys for emergencies. It weighs 8.8 lb and measures roughly 6.9 in × 2.9 in × 11.8 in inside, enough for two standard handguns or one larger pistol.

Compared with the seven other safes in this roundup, the Molicar sits in the middle of the weight range: it’s heavier than the Billconch (6.17 lb) and the Miisekmy (weight listed in grams, which converts to a lighter unit), but far lighter than the Barska model that tips the scales at 62.0 lb. While Billconch offers a lighter chassis, its unlock speed is slower, so the Molicar wins on rapid access. Other peers either lack a mounting cable length or list fewer dimensions, making the Molicar’s 40.16‑inch cable a useful flexibility point for bedside or vehicle mounting.

Reviewers consistently praise the ultra‑quick access and the combination of fingerprint, digital password, and backup keys. Professional reviewers describe it as a “perfect blend of modern technology and top‑quality construction,” noting the high‑elasticity foam interior that cushions firearms. The main criticism is the limited interior space, which restricts storage to two handguns, and the fact that its price‑to‑value ratio falls short of some similarly priced competitors.

The safe also sports a 10‑second LCD display that cycles temperature, humidity, battery status, unlock status, and time, plus a built‑in LED that stays on for 10 seconds. A mute function keeps it quiet, and an emergency USB‑C port provides a backup power outlet. Password capacity is set at 10 codes, each 4‑6 digits long, adding another layer of redundancy.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option — the Molicar Biometric Gun Safe offers Mounting Cable: 40.16 inches

Avoid if: You want the best value‑per‑dollar in its price range

TL;DR: The Vaultek LifePod 20 costs $209.99, holds up to four full‑size pistols, unlocks via 20 fingerprints or 8,000 keypad codes, and survives drops and three‑foot water submersion while weighing just 3.3 lb.

What really sets the LifePod 20 apart is its biometric capacity—20 unique fingerprints stored in a capacitive scanner—combined with a back‑lit touch keypad that offers 8,000 possible combinations. The case also boasts an airtight seal, dust‑proof construction, and a drop‑tested T3 polymer shell that can be floated, making it one of the most rugged portable safes on the market.

Compared with the other seven safes in this roundup, the LifePod 20 sits in a higher price tier than the Billconch models, yet it’s noticeably lighter than the steel‑heavy competitors. The Billconch Smart and its $69.99 sibling weigh over 6 lb each, while the Barska Biometric unit tips the scales at 62 lb. At 3.3 lb, Vaultek feels more like a travel‑ready case than a stationary safe. Fingerprint capacity is modest—20 prints versus the Billconch’s 40 and Barska’s 120—but the dual‑access design (biometric, keypad, and two backup keys) still provides ample flexibility.

Users consistently praise the LifePod 20 for its TSA‑compliant design and its ability to protect pistols during flights or outdoor trips. Reviewers love the interior LED that lights up on opening and the removable dual‑layer foam that snugly holds firearms up to 9.25 in long. The main criticisms focus on the reliance on a 9 V alkaline battery (not supplied) for electronic locking and the interior height of just 2.13 in, which can be too short for optics‑equipped handguns. Professional reviewers highlight the case’s waterproof rating—submersion to 3 ft for 30 min—making it a solid choice for rainy‑day travel.

Technical details reinforce its premium feel: exterior dimensions measure 12.24 in L × 8.5 in W × 2.87 in H, while the interior space is 9.61 in L × 7.24 in W × 2.13 in H, giving an interior volume of 0.09 cu ft. The unit includes a steel security cable, two backup keys, and an AirTag‑compatible pocket (AirTag sold separately). An emergency micro‑USB port lets you charge the battery if it runs low, and the LED interior light activates automatically when the lid opens.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Vaultek LifePod 20 offers Included Keys: 2 backup keys

Avoid if: You're on a tight budget or need storage for pistols equipped with large optics

TL;DR: The Barska Biometric Gun Safe offers a 2.5‑second fingerprint scan, 120‑fingerprint capacity and a solid 5‑point deadbolt, but its large 62‑lb weight and limited rifle depth may restrict some installations.

The standout spec is the rapid 2.5‑second scan time, which lets you open the safe almost instantly with an authorized fingerprint. Combined with a 120‑fingerprint capacity, the biometric system is designed for households with multiple users. The safe also features a 1‑inch steel deadbolt and an optional silent mode for discreet access.

At 62.0 pounds, this model is considerably heavier than the Billconch Smart Gun Safe, the Billconch Biometric Gun Safe and the Molicar Biometric Gun Safe, all of which weigh under ten pounds. Its exterior height of 52.17 inches makes it taller than the compact Billconch Biometric model, yet shorter than the FlyDzrewt safe, which stands over 57 inches tall. In terms of depth, the 8.6‑inch exterior dimension sits between the shallow Billconch Biometric safe (8.66 in) and the deeper FlyDzrewt safe (11.81 in), meaning it may not accommodate rifles with large scopes.

Professional reviewers note that the California DOJ approval adds confidence for compliance‑focused owners, while the optical scanner’s “advanced” analysis is praised for security. However, a SecureIt Gun Storage review flagged the model for failing basic function in its smallest configuration, and users have reported depth‑related compatibility issues when trying to store rifles with accessories. These concerns suggest the advertised four‑rifle capacity is realistic only when rifles are stored without scopes.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Barska Biometric Gun Safe offers Exterior Depth: 8.6 inches

Avoid if: You're on a tight budget, need a lightweight solution, or plan to store rifles with large scopes or accessories.

TL;DR: The Miisekmy GS‑572 is a compact, $63.99 biometric gun safe that stores two pistols, unlocks in ≤1 second, and weighs just 6.89 lb, making it a budget‑friendly, portable option.

The standout spec is its depth of 307 mm (12.1 in), giving enough room for two standard‑size pistols while keeping the overall height at a slim 51.6 mm (≈2 in). It can hold up to 50 fingerprints and 50 keypad codes, and the biometric reader promises recognition in ≤1 second. A built‑in carry handle and a scratch‑resistant carbon‑steel shell add to its portability.

Compared with the other seven safes in this roundup, the Miisekmy is lighter than the Molicar model’s 8.8 lb but a touch heavier than Billconch’s 6.17‑pound unit. Billconch also unlocks in about 1 second, so speed isn’t a differentiator, but its heavier build suggests a more rugged feel. The Miisekmy’s deeper profile (12.1 in) exceeds Billconch’s 8.66‑inch depth, giving it a bit more internal space despite the same two‑pistol capacity.

Reviewers highlight the rapid biometric access and the convenience of the portable handle, noting that the LED interior light makes it easy to see contents in low light. Professional reviewers point out the heavy‑duty carbon and spring steel construction as a solid impact‑resistant choice. However, the 2‑inch height can restrict larger handgun frames, and the safe lacks any fire‑proof certification, which some users consider a drawback for long‑term storage.

The unit runs on a rechargeable lithium‑ion battery accessed via a Type‑C port, and it alerts you when the charge runs low. A 6‑digit backlit keypad offers a secondary access method, and two backup keys are included for emergencies.

Best for: Entry-level buyers or those on a tight budget — the Miisekmy Biometric Gun Safe offers Depth: 307 mm

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

TL;DR: The Barska Biometric Rifle Safe offers dual biometric‑keypad access, a roomy 13‑inch depth and sturdy 82‑lb build for $677.20, but its high price and modest 3.6‑star rating may give budget‑focused buyers pause.

This model’s standout feature is its dual‑access system – a fingerprint scanner paired with an electronic keypad and a mechanical key backup. At 52.25 inches tall, 13.0 inches deep and 13.0 inches wide, it provides a generous interior that can accommodate an 11‑position rifle layout while the 82.0‑pound weight adds a solid, tamper‑resistant feel.

Compared with the other seven safes in our roundup, the Barska unit sits at the premium end of the price spectrum and is markedly heavier than the Billconch Smart Gun Safe, which weighs only a few kilograms. Its height is just shy of the FlyDzrewt Biometric Gun Safe’s 57.09 inches, making it slightly shorter but still comparable to the standard Barska Biometric Gun Safe’s 52.17‑inch height. Width-wise, it is narrower than FlyDzrewt’s 13.78 inches, yet broader than the compact Molicar and Miisekmy models.

Customer feedback reflects a mixed picture: the 3.6‑star average from 97 reviews points to some satisfaction with the California DOJ approval and the convenience of dual access, but several reviewers call out the $677.20 price tag as steep for the feature set. Users also note that the heavy construction, while enhancing security, makes relocation a chore.

Additional context includes a 1‑year warranty, black finish, and a backup key for emergencies. The manufacturer does not list details such as material composition, battery type, or interior dimensions, so those specifics remain unknown.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance — the Barska Biometric Rifle Safe offers Depth: 13.0 Inches.

Avoid if: Reliability and user satisfaction are your top concerns.

TL;DR: The FlyDzrewt Biometric Gun Safe offers a tall 57.09‑inch profile, solid alloy steel construction, three lock options and a perfect 3‑handgun capacity, but it sits at a premium $185.99 price point.

At 57.09 inches tall, this safe is the tallest unit in the eight‑product lineup, giving you ample vertical space for rifles and shotguns while still fitting a standard handgun rack. It holds up to 3 handguns, 4 rifles and 4 shotguns, so you can secure a mixed family arsenal in one box.

Compared with its peers, the FlyDzrewt’s dimensions stand out: its height dwarfs the Barska Biometric Gun Safe’s 52.17‑inch height and far exceeds the Billconch Biometric Gun Safe’s 2.75‑inch height. Its width of 13.78 inches is slightly wider than the Barska Rifle Safe’s 13‑inch width and broader than the Molicar’s 320 mm exterior width. Depth at 11.81 inches is comparable to the Vaultek LifePod’s 311 mm exterior length, giving it a more spacious interior than the Vaultek’s 8.6‑inch exterior depth.

Customer sentiment is uniformly positive: the three reviewers who posted feedback gave it a flawless 5.0‑star rating, highlighting the reinforced thick‑gauge alloy steel and the anti‑pry door as confidence‑boosting features. No complaints appear in the limited feedback, and the integrated LED lighting receives particular praise for making gun retrieval easy in low‑light conditions.

Beyond size and reviews, the safe ships fully assembled, includes mounting hardware, and offers three access methods—biometric scanner, digital keypad and a mechanical key backup. Adjustable, removable shelving lets you reconfigure the interior, while the scratch‑resistant finish and protective lining keep your firearms looking pristine.

Best for: Most users seeking a balanced, mainstream option — the FlyDzrewt Biometric Gun Safe offers Capacity Handguns: 3
