Questions and answers

Is the Night Guard worth it over a plain keypad safe?
If you want to open the safe by touch in the dark, the RFID tag is the main draw and is faster than typing a code. A basic keypad safe costs less but gives up that speed and the alarm.
Will a full-size pistol with a light fit?
The drawer is about 2.2 inches tall, 9.2 inches deep and 6.9 inches wide. A full-size pistol usually fits, but a mounted weapon light or red dot may not clear the lid.
How is it powered?
It runs on batteries, and the RFID reader, keypad and alarm all draw from them. Check the battery level regularly, since a dead battery means falling back to the key.
What comes in the box?
The safe, an RFID watchband, an RFID key fob, an RFID decal and a backup key. Mounting hardware is included for bolting it down.
Is it child resistant?
Yes. It is certified child resistant and California DOJ approved, though the keypad code and RFID tags should still be kept away from children.
When is it cheapest?
The $216.95 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026 is already near the bottom of its recent range. Watch for holiday sales, when it has dipped lower.
Where is the Hornady Rapid Safe Night Guard cheapest?
At Amazon, for $216.95, 19% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
