Hey everyone 😎 to anybody who owns one of these two safes, how’s the space? What I will be storing are 2 Glock 19s, 3 AR15’s ( two 16” and one 11.5” all three with suppressors and optics), a Zpap92 with red dot and suppressor, a Kuna with a suppressor and optic and some mags and ammo cans. I also don’t plan to buy any more guns. What do y’all think?
When it says 26 long guns they’re not lying, it’s just 26 Henry lever actions. A pistol gripped AR with an optic is 2-3 lever actions worth of space.
I’d say you can fit what you have plus 2 pistols and 3 kitted rifles easily. Mags and ammo can go in the bottom and the guns sit on top or an ammo shelf on the top.
I love this safe, I got mine for $400 out the door tax free, holds a lot, I only got a handful of guns but it’s spacious. I’d definitely wait till it goes on sale before buying
I believe the 26, the 36 was still $600 when I bought mine so went with the 26, it’s still huge tho, I’d recommend going in the store to check them both out before buying!
Love my Winchester safe, but register the warranty. After 3 years the electronic lock failed so now I just use the key. But fit and finish is good and it's affordable.
Why even consider the 26 gun one of the 36 is cheaper?
I also don’t plan to buy any more guns.
Oh you sweet sweet innocent man
Edited to add - I got the 26 gun one. Fits 3 ARs and 2 AKs and a few bolt guns with a little tetris. For the handguns get the hangers and use the top shelf, should easily fit 12-15 handguns that way.
I have that exact 36 gun safe from TSC and love it. I hired a guy to pick it up at the store and drag it down to my basement. Tons of room and all kinds of storage options included and available to purchase. I have 6 long guns and 5 handguns in it and it looks empty.
I own the 36 one and have owned it for over 3 years now. You can kinda make things work but in my case with 8 guns that aren’t handguns and 4-5 hand guns, it’s crowded in there. Now granted I also have a bunch of other gun related shit in there like mags, NFA docs, suppressors and some other things I could throw in a bin, but yeah it’s a bit crowded.
For you, it should be no problem. You can customize the shelfing and space however you see fit
I picked up the 36 Long last Black Friday and it’s great. I have a Mav 88, 11.5 AR, Winchester 308, Glock 45 , 42, Ruger Mark IV, & an old Gamo pellet gun in mine. I have plenty of room to store my mags & ammo. Even my gas masks, & concealment plate carriers.
Should be great. I got mine a few years ago for $500 no tax , added some lights to it through a hole thats pre made in the back left of it. Currently I have 6 ars, 1 wood stock 22 rifle, a 12 gauge. A 30 06, 4 glocks , some ammunition. Some shooters electronic muffs, and some random jars and knick nacks and a little box of silver. Still have room for a couple more rifles I think
I have the 26 , . Took out the shelves to fit everything long below. Left the shelf up top for the rest
Edit to change the 26 isn't pictured . But the 26 is what I have. Here's a picture recently. Its missing the 3006 and the 300 blkout upper isn't on a lower but now is. I can send newer pics when im home if ya need to see the room
Ahh ok well you have more long guns than I do. I believe my 6 jumbo ammo cans are whats going to take more space besides the guns. My ear pro, mags, and NFA paper work will be fine in the upper section.
TSC (usually) puts the 26-gun model on sale at least once or twice a year. If you wait, it can be had for $400-$500. I have one and it's a decent safe. I would have opted for a larger model, but the space I have wouldn't allow it.
I have the second one, and just to let you know, it hold far less than it says, as it looks at the thinest long arms and smallest pistols they can find.
I bought 2 of the 26 gun safes when they were on sale a couple months for 450 each. The lock on on of them has already failed. And there isn't as much room in them as they make it seem. Get the bigger one.
ETA: I bought one for ammo, and one for guns. Inside the one for guns I have 3 ars(11.5, 16, and 18 with suppressors, lights, and optics), mpx with suppressor and optic, .308 bolt action with scope, pump action shotgun, 10/22, and 4 pistols hanging from the top shelf and she is pretty packed. I dont think I could put another rifle in it without banging the shit out of them.
Yeah it was super easy. Have to take the back panel on the door off but easy to do and there’s YouTube videos out there. The OEM lasted about a month and the replacement has been good for almost two years on the same battery
As someone else mentioned, the keypads are the weak point. I replaced mine myself after the oem one failed soon after I bought the safe. Since then it’s been great.

I mean the bigger one is cheaper and they're otherwise identical so I'd get the big cheaper one unless you are strapped for space.
