[QUOTE="soberups, post: 423716, member: 14668"] I would stay away from thumbprint-scanning safes. Too expensive and complicated. Most gun shops, sporting goods stores and locksmiths sell electronic safes with a keypad that you can program with your own 3 or 4 digit access code, and a key for a backup. I have one that cost less than $50 and its perfect for securing a weapon from kids or burglars while still guranteeing quick access when you need it. "Soft" rounds such as Glasers are fine for revolvers but I would never use them in a semiautomatic pistol. Semi's can be finicky with different types and weights of ammo, and will jam up on stuff they dont like. Glasers cost about $1 per round, so reliability testing in a semi-auto will be prohibitively expensive. If you can handle a 9mm, .357 mag or a .40 there is no reason you cant handle a .45. The recoil is less snappy and more of a gentle "push" with the big, slow moving bullets. Recoil starts being an issue when you get into the .44 Magnum class, or when you run hot .357 mag loads thru a snub-nosed airweight revolver. [/QUOTE]
