Stealth Handgun Hanger Safe vs Hornady Rapid Safe Night Guard Clock

Buy the Stealth if you want a real lockbox that holds several handguns and can be bolted down. Buy the Hornady if the safe lives on your nightstand and you want the fastest possible open in the dark. The Stealth is heavier steel with a 3/8-inch recessed door and anti-pry tabs; the Hornady is a thin 3-inch-deep steel box with a tempered glass front and RFID. Owners rate both highly, but the Stealth has far more ratings behind its score.

  • Choose the Stealth Handgun Hanger Safe if you keep more than one handgun, want a bolted-down steel box with a keypad and silent mode, or need a safe that meets a state standard.
  • Choose the Hornady Rapid Safe Night Guard if it sits on a nightstand, you want to grab a gun by touch with an RFID tag, and you want a clock and USB charging in the same box.

What reviewers say

Stealth Handgun Hanger Safe

  • 4.8 / 5448 ratings

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 448 ratings, buyers mostly praise the fast drop-down access and the keypad. Complaints center on the hanger rods and the light-gauge body.

What people mention
  • Access speedPraisedOwners like that the door drops open and puts handguns in a ready position.
  • KeypadPraisedBuyers find the 6-digit code easy to set and the buttons responsive.
  • Hanger fitCriticisedThe rods will not hold .22 caliber pistols, which limits what can hang.
  • BuildMixedThe steel door and anti-pry tabs feel solid, but the 16-gauge body is lighter than expected.

Hornady Rapid Safe Night Guard Clock

  • 4.9 / 583 ratings

Owners rate it highly and mostly praise the fast RFID access, the discreet clock design and the USB charging. Complaints center on the tight interior and on battery dependence.

What people mention
  • RFID accessPraisedOwners say waving the tag opens the safe faster than fumbling with a keypad or key at night.
  • Discreet designPraisedReviewers like that it passes as a normal clock and keeps the gun out of sight.
  • Interior sizeCriticisedSome say the shallow compartment will not fit a full-size pistol with a weapon light or red dot.
  • Battery lifeMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better for a nightstand?
The Hornady. Its 3-inch depth, clock and RFID tag suit a bedside table, and it runs on batteries in an outage. The Stealth is deeper and wants to be bolted down.
Which holds more?
The Stealth. It takes up to five handguns, three on hangers, against one in the Hornady.
Which is harder to break into?
The Stealth. It has a 16-gauge steel body, a 3/8-inch recessed door, anti-pry tabs and a California DOJ rating. The Hornady has a tempered glass front and no stated burglar rating.
Is the Hornady worth stepping up to over a plain keypad box?
If speed in the dark matters, yes. An RFID tag opens it without looking at a keypad, and the clock and USB ports earn their space on a nightstand.
Do both have a key backup?
Yes. The Stealth includes two tubular override keys, and the Hornady has a mechanical key for when the batteries die.
Can I mount either one?
The Stealth bolts down through four holes. The Hornady ships with a 1,500-pound-rated cable, so it is tethered rather than bolted.
