Pros: solid construction, easy to program, fits my guns no problem, bolts down. Cons: light inside is lame (could be brighter), uses 8 AA batteries So, I was on the fence about which to get, this one or the eV600. I read the reviews about how small the eV400 is and that its hard to do the batteries. I'm 6'4, my hands are large. I used some tape to keep the batteries from popping out and held the safe upside down like many have said. This safe is perfect for me. I have two subcompact Glocks (G27 & G30). I can fit both in or one and two extra mags. Now when I go some where I can't carry, these will be bolted to my car instead of "locked" in the glove box. Comes with a template to use for marking your drill holes. Comes with three screws to use. I'm very pleased. I put it on the floorboard in front of the passenger seat for easy access. People can sit comfortably no problem. Also, shipped super fast.

Overall this safe is well designed and operates smoothly. Buttons are easy to find in the dark, the safe is easy to program, and the internal LED light offers just enough light in the dark to see what is inside. Only down side is that there is no ability to have an external power source. However this is available in all the larger models with the external LCD.

The size of this is perfect to fit under console between seats in van. It is not visible from windows and is easy to get to by the driver. Meets CCW requirement to prevent others from access to your gun. I can see where some would have trouble getting batteries in but as women with smaller hands, I had no problems. Key access is very convenient as well as code. It meets my needs perfectly.
