The RAPiD Safe was provided to the author for review.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dropcap\">C<\/span>an you ever have too many guns? If you answered anything but \u201cno\u201d to this, we need to have a serious talk. But of course, with more guns in the collection comes the need for more gun storage. Huge refrigerator-size safes are great \u2014 if you have the budget and the space and several body-builder friends to help you get in set in place. Not everyone can choose that solution for a number of reasons. And even when you do have the ginormous safe, you\u2019ll eventually either outgrow it or need an annex storage solution elsewhere. This is where the Hornady RAPiD Safe product line shines. Available from single handgun secure boxes to large, multi-gun vaults \u2014 they offer an affordable and tech-savvy way to secure your firearms almost anywhere.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52292\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-review-1.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-review-1-800x800.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-review-1-400x400.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-review-1-768x768.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-review-1-600x600.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hornady RAPiD Safe Ready Vault is compact enough to fit into many spaces while its understated appearance allows it to blend with many environments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And there are more reasons to have multiple secure storage solutions in place. One primary reason is availability. If you have a large gun safe in the garage or basement, it doesn\u2019t do you much good when you hear the glass break at 2 AM. The more I consider home defense scenarios, the more convinced I am that multiple options in multiple locations is the wise move.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Solution<\/h2>\n<p>For reasons noted above, the Hornady RAPiD Safe family of products really shines. More specifically, the Compact Ready Vault with Wi-Fi. This upright unit is designed to store multiple long guns, multiple handguns, or a combination of both. Its compact size allows it to be located in places that are convenient to access, yet inconspicuous. And, at just under 80 lbs. \u2014 it is easy to move as needed. Its footprint is 10\u201d x 10\u201d square and it stands just over 52\u201d tall. There are even pre-drilled mounting holes on the back so that it can be fastened to a wall stud for extra security and stability.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full flush no-min-width\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52293\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-open-door.jpg.webp 786w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-open-door-449x800.jpg.webp 449w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-open-door-225x400.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-open-door-768x1368.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-open-door-561x1000.jpg.webp 561w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"1400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-open-door.jpg\" alt=\"In this photo, the author opened the door to his Hornady RAPiD Safe Ready Vault to show his Springfield Armory, Inc.

You can also configure it to store more pistols, ammunition or other valuables.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Compact Ready Vault is constructed of steel with a nice painted finish that won\u2019t show marks and prints. The door is secured with a full-length piano hinge that is also adorned in the same finish and is nearly invisible. The locking lugs \u2014 of which there are five \u2014 are hardened steel. It is built to specifications that exceed safe storage standards set forth by ASTM, and is approved by California for firearm storage.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Works<\/h2>\n<p>The Hornady RAPiD Safe system offers you several convenient yet secure ways to access your vault. For starters, there are two barrel keys supplied with your unit, which you\u2019ll use for initial access and want to keep handy while you set up the vault. It is highly recommended that these keys later be stored in another safe location, as a backup access method.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52294\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories.jpg\" alt=\"Shown here are a 12v power adaptor, RFID key tags and other accessories for the Hornady RAPiD Safe Ready Vault.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hornady-Rapid-safe-accessories-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hornady RAPiD Safe Ready Vault comes with a number of accessories for powering and accessing the storage container.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Other than the keys, the safe is accessed via a motorized locking system driven by an electronic security system. That system can use any of a combination of entry options from a programmed combination via the external keypad to several RFID devices included by Hornady. RFID is radio-frequency identification, a system that automatically identifies tags for tracking, or in this case, access to secured contents.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you use a combination or RFID device, each access method must be programmed by the user. The system can store up to five tags in addition to a programmed combination. These include the watch band tag, two stick-on tags, and a keychain tag.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter inline\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"logo-tal-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/thearmorylife\/img\/logo-tal-tm-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our <a class=\"ajax-giveaways\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/giveaways\/\"><strong>monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Setting up the RFID tags to be recognized by your vault is a very simple process.

It was a cinch to set it up for the Compact Ready Vault, and now my tag opens both. This is the beauty of the Hornady system, relating back to my earlier point about several storage devices in different locations. You can use a single RFID to access them all. Of course, you are not limited to a single RFID tag, which allows multiple methods or multiple authorized users.<\/p>\n<p>The vault comes with an AC power supply to provide constant power to the system, along with a battery compartment in the door panel for backup in the event of a power loss. The Wi-Fi option lets you configure the Hornady Security App (a free download) to notify you when the vault has been accessed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organization and Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Hornady Ready Vaults use a trademarked system called SQUARE-LOK as the empty canvas on which you paint your ideal storage picture. Several mounting tools and accessories are available for the system, from shelves and lights to handgun and rifle hangers and racks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52296\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/access-pad.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/access-pad-800x449.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/access-pad-400x225.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/access-pad-768x431.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/access-pad-600x337.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/access-pad.jpg\" alt=\"The Hornady RAPiD Safe Ready Vault access pad is shown here.

Installing the mounting points or accessories is a simple thing to do, but they are rock-solid when locked into the all-steel inner panels. The square holes are located on the interior rear wall and run in even and close rows. This maximizes your options and lets you find the \u2018just right\u2019 spot for everything. Change your mind later? In seconds you can re-configure the space to suit.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full flush no-min-width\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52297\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house.jpg.webp 718w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house-410x800.jpg.webp 410w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house-205x400.jpg.webp 205w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house-513x1000.jpg.webp 513w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"1400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house.jpg\" alt=\"Shown in this photograph is the Hornady RAPiD Safe Ready Vault with a closed door inside the author's home.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house.jpg 718w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house-410x800.jpg 410w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house-205x400.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/safe-in-house-513x1000.jpg 513w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hornady RAPiD Safe Ready Vault is well designed for having locked storage of ready-access defensive firearms in your home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The gun racks are made of very heavy gauge steel rod that is thickly coated with black PVC. This provides strength for anything you need to hang, and gentle protection for your gun\u2019s finish. One rifle rack that is capable of accommodating four guns is included, along with a steel shelf and two double-handgun racks. The latter are available in widths of 2, 4, or 6 handgun size. According to my measurements, the 4-handgun rack would be a bit too wide to fit in the Compact Ready Vault, and a 3-gun option doesn\u2019t currently exist, but would be ideal. I\u2019m keeping my fingers crossed for that future option!<\/p>\n<p>The vault also comes equipped with a pad for the bottom so that your long guns are not resting on hard, slippery steel. A nice touch. At just over $500, the Compact Ready Vault offers versatile firearms storage that combines peace of mind with immediate access without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: Please be sure to check out The Armory Life Forum, where you can comment about our daily articles, as well as just talk guns and gear.
