Previously I stated I was going to purchase a safe for handguns. I've done more research which has prompted me to comment about my effort and to ask another question.

Looking at SentrySafe's web site, they state any of their products classified as "fire safe" are not recommended for storage of firearms. The statement goes on to say safes classified as fire safe tend to produce and retain more moisture than other types. They sell "firearm" safes but are primarily for long guns. In fact, guns that are stored such safes are not warranted by SentrySafe. Such comments concern me to the point I have put on hold the plans I had to purchase one.

My questions: Are all fire rated safes in the "same boat".? If so, what type of safe is qualified for firearm storage that is small enough to hold a few handguns and nothing more?

At this point in time, I'm inclined to keep my Lugers where they are, in a desk drawer.
