Compact size

Unlike other gun safes, the NanoVault 300 is not bulky. You won’t have to hassle yourself with carrying a bulky safe when you leave the house.

Another plus is that there is no need to worry about where it will fit in your home. No matter how small your home is, you will without a doubt find a place to keep this gun safe. Its slim size makes it easier for storage.

Can fit multiple types of guns

The Gunvault NV300 Small Safe measures 9.5 x 6.5 x 1.75 inches on the outside. On the inside it is spacious enough to fit two guns, or one gun and an extra magazine. Examples of the type of guns that will fit inside are:

2 Glock 26’s, full sized M&P, Ruger SR9c, Ruger LCP, Sig P226, Walther P99, HK USP Compact, and a Smith and Wesson 642 revolver.

You can also fit a Glock 26 with a spare magazine, Glock 20SF plus an extra magazine, a full sized .45 semi-auto with one magazine or a full size semi-auto with a 4 to 4.5-inch barrel.

Something to remember is to place the muzzle facing the lock as the safe will not luck properly if not positioned this way.

The reason is that the vault’s locking mechanism and the gun’s handle will meet and thus prevent the safe from properly locking up. This is especially the case when you are storing a Glock and an extra magazine.

Solid exterior and padded interior

The exterior of the Gunvault NV300 Small Safe comes with a solid frame. It comes with a 21-gauge steel construction and burglars who would see it would surely think that this is a hard safe to break open.

The interior of the safe has a 1.25 inch padding so you wouldn’t have to worry about getting your gun scratched or damaged while inside the safe.

If you read some gun safe reviews of the NanoVault 300 you will notice comments about the padding’s smell.

This smell is because of the naphthalene that was put in there and this is actually there for a purpose. Naphthalene is a good rust preventive so this will keep your guns rust-free.

The smell is not that bad but if you would really want to go without it, you can just take out the padding and let it air out for at least a day. This would take out the naphthalene’s smell.

Combination lock

The safe comes with a 3-digit combination lock that you can easily program. You can find the instructions to set the code at the back of the package and on the company website. Just a few simple steps and your set.

Security cable

Another great thing about the Gunvault NV300 Small Safe is that it comes with a security cable. So you can attach your safe securely onto anything. You can use it for your car so nobody can just easily grab it. The cable is even long enough for you to be able to work on the vault while on your car seat.
