I bought this to keep my handguns in when not being carried or out for home defense. I considered less-costly, more traditional combination safes including the finger-touch models; but after reading reviews that called reliability into question decided against them. I couldn’t be happier with this safe.
For $50-$75 more than you’d pay for an inferior safe, this one is extremely well-built. The programming of the lock is simple and fast, the back-up system sufficiently easy-to-use (IF you are the owner and know how); and the capacity abundant. The safe opens quickly with just the touch of the (programmed) finger.
I have two full-size handguns, ammo, and several spare magazines in there and STILL have room for important documents and some other valuables. I bolted it to a wall in a seldom-used closet (easy, fast and secure), but you can just as easily bolt it to the floor with the pre-drilled holes the manufacturer provides. In terms of size, the best way to describe it is hotel room safe-sized.
If you want a well-built, well-priced, dependable safe that is easy to program, fast and easy to open with an excellent fail-safe, this is for you.

This is the only way I could think of to have quick access to a gun but keep it totally safe from kids. The safe has NEVER opened for anyone who has tried it without thier prints programed in it. The only times it has failed to open for me is if my finger is at quite an angle to the reader or not in very far, its not picky but you can also program it with your fingers at angles to avoid any problem. My only complaint would be that I wish there was a way to not have the loud beeper go off as you open it, kinda defeats the stealth effect.

I purchased the Barska Biometric safe because I needed a safe with easier access. My original safe was based on a key. It was a challenge to find a location for the key that would allow easy access quickly. In addition, how does one open the safe in the dark. This safe is much better. The safe is large enough to fit several weapons, ammo and magazines. The safe is sturdy and well built. The only drawback is the actual size. It’s to big to fit into a standard size night stand. The door swings out to your right. It might have been better if the door swung down or up. Access would be easier. You either have to put it in a closet, mount it in a wall or under a bed.
In terms of registering of fingers, you can register several sets of fingers to get into the safe. There is also a back up key system behind the logo. The biometric system is easy to setup and easy to use. The instructions are on a sturdy cardboard which can be stored for later use. Once the fingers are registered, you can test to see how quickly access can be provided. I was very impressed with the access. The finger portal lights up where you put your finger. Especially good for the dark. It takes approximately 3 to 5 seconds to gain access to the box. The count is from the point of pushing the button to placing finger on the biometric scanner to accessing the weapon. Very impressive.

I agree with most reviews previously given.
The print reader is picky. At first I only programmed one print. Recognition of this print was hit and miss. Programmed a 2nd print, same finger. Recognition is now probably 95%. With 3 or 4 prints programmed, recognition would be flawless. It has NEVER opened for an unauthorized print. I tried, I bought it 3 months before my handgun and tested it often. I can reliably get into it within 3-5 seconds.
It is very loud, particularly the long beep it emits when unlocking. I’m not concerned about it alerting a criminal. If they come to me, I already have my handgun out. If they leave, Fantastic, no blood stains on my carpet or conscience. 2nd, if my child or someone else starts messing with it or actually makes their way into it, I’ll hear the beep from anywhere in the house. Also, if left unlocked after opening, it will start beeping at about 5 second intervals. There is around a 2-3 minute delay before this starts. A surprise feature that I appreciate.
Great amount of room inside. My subcompact, 4 boxes of ammo, 2 magazines, and personal documents fit just fine with room for a couple more handguns or other miscellaneous items. It is large and heavy which would prohibit it from being placed on all but the stoutest closet shelves.

After a lot of research I decided to buy this safe for my handguns located in my bedroom. There are cheaper biometric safes out there but the reviews on them were shaky compared to what I read about the Barska.
After several months of ownership, I cannot be happier with this safe! This controls are simple to use. It allows you to program in a fairly large number of fingerprints (always smart to capture prints of a couple of fingers on both hands…just in case you have an injury to one hand). The directions are clearly written. The safe has worked as expected every time. No problems.
Yes, this safe does have a key backup system. I write this because at my time of purchase none of the Amazon literature or reviews mentioned this. Barska does describe this on their own website. I like the key system; it is not a quick release system for emergencies, but more designed in case you let the batteries die and need access for that reason. The key back is located behind the silver plate on the front of the safe. First you have to remove one of the screws on the front with a hex-wrench (provided with the safe) and then you have access to the key cylinder. This should also be a deterrent to kids.
The safe is large enough to hold important paperwork and some boxes of ammunition in addition to a couple of firearms.
