This one is slick.  Another solution for a compact pistol safe.  No need to reach into this one because the drawer pops open for access.

Three ways to open...  remote control, glow-in-the-dark keypad, or hidden keyed bypass.

Desk, bookcase, night stand, coffee table, inside the kitchen cabinet, under the kitchen cabinet, vehicle under the seat or under the dash... Install several in convenient locations.

Mounting brackets are reversible.  Install on top of something... or underneath.

Another great solution from the folks at Secure Logic.
