12 Must-Have Gun Safe Accessories in 2024

If you own a gun safe, chances are it’s lacking a few vitally important gun safe accessories out of the box.

Most gun safes come with a few features, like built-in rifle racks, removable shelves, and basic lighting (if you’re lucky), while others are featureless black boxes that need some upgrading to get the most out of them!

This article is a wish list of all of the things that I ended up needing to buy to get my safe up to snuff.

By adding these accessories, I gained some much-needed functionality and organization to my gun safe… and with a little investment, so can you.

Must-Have Accessories For Your Gun Safe

When it comes to gun safes, these must-have accessories will enhance security, organization, and convenience.

Here are some of the best gun safe accessories to consider buying to maximize your gun safe’s useability:

1. Dehumidifier: A dehumidifier is essential for maintaining an optimal humidity level inside the safe. It helps prevent the corrosion and rusting of firearms and ammunition.
2. Humidity monitors: These super useful electronic devices display the current temperature and humidity inside of your safe. These wireless devices are oftentimes battery-powered.
3. LED lighting: Most gun safes come with internal lighting, but often it may not be efficient or bright enough. Adding LED lighting will ensure better visibility inside the safe, making it easier to locate firearms and other items.
4. Pistol racks: Pistol racks or handgun hangers help keep handguns neatly organized and easily accessible. They optimize the space inside the safe and protect the guns from scratching or damage.
5. Rifle racks: These are foam and plastic/foam rifle rack solutions that aim to improve the hold and fit of your rifles over the generic carpet-wrapped particle board racks built into most gun safes.
6. Door organizers: Door organizers have pockets or pouches that attach to the inside of the safe’s door. They are perfect for storing small items or accessories like spare magazines, hearing protection, documents, or other personal belongings.
7. Gun safe alarms: Gun safe alarms can be equipped with motion sensors or vibration detectors to alert you if the safe is tampered with or moved. They provide an extra layer of security to deter potential burglars.
8. Fireproof document pouches: It is advisable to keep important documents like insurance policies, passports, or legal papers in fireproof pouches within the safe. These pouches can withstand high temperatures and protect your vital documents from fire damage.
9. Corrosion-proof sleeves & bags: These nifty silicon-coated sock sleeves completely cover your rifles and handguns while inside your safe to keep rust at bay. There are also special plastic bags that aim to achieve the same result for long-term storage in a gun safe.
10. Gun safe covers: Gun safe covers provide an extra layer of protection against dust, moisture, and scratches. They also help to maintain the safe’s appearance and extend its lifespan.
11. Gun safe shelf hanger baskets: Shelf hanger baskets inside the safe can increase storage capacity and facilitate better organization. They are especially useful for storing extra ammunition or other accessories.

Safe Lighting

One of the most annoying things is fumbling around in the dark trying to grab something out of your safe. Enter LED lighting kits!

These kits are designed to light up the interior of your safe, making it easier for you to find what you’re looking for.

Best LED Safe Lighting Kits:

A lot of safes come with some rudimentary lighting but fail to illuminate your guns inside fully. That’s where these aftermarket solutions come into play.

Here are some of our favorite options that we’ve had great experiences with.

#1 Torchstar LED Lighting Kit

These Torchstar LED lighting strips are the best way to get light into every corner of your gun safe.

Easy to install and super efficient, this lighting kit represents a great value and comes with everything you need to install them.

I love these lights! Easy to install, took me about 15 minutes for each safe. The difference is night and day. I prefer the switch to the movement sensor. Buy these!

Chrinstine D.

#2 Litever LED Safe Lighting

Unlike the previous option, the Litever comes with a door switch so you don’t have to fumble around in the dark looking for the switch.

This adds a bit to the cost, but we think it’s worth the added expense.

Very good, the light turns on by itself whenever the door is opened, it took me about 30 minutes to install it

Jay I.

#3 PeakPlus LED Motion Lights

These PeakPlus LED motion-activated light sticks are a quick way to add some light where it’s needed most without spending more money on a full-lighting solution.

Quick to turn on, mount anywhere, and battery-operated, these bright 10-LED motion sticks will last a long time on 4 AAA batteries.

These work good for my safe. Sometimes you have to wave your hand to get them to come on.

Christian Brooke

#4 Hornady LED Gun Safe Lights

Running on 6 AAA batteries, this easy-to-mount Hornady LED strip light provides your gun safe with 70 lumens of white light and is motion-activated. Great for adding spot-lighting to hidden areas within small, medium, or large safes.

Easy install. Bright white lighting. Motion detection varies between the two light bars I bought. One is more sensitive than the other. They only stay on a short time before shutting off if they don’t detect motion constantly. Overall they light the safe very well and I definitely recommend these safe lights.

Richard E.

#5 Vyanlight Motion LED Gun Safe Lights

Like the PeakLights, these Vyanlight motion-activated LED light strips are wireless solution that runs on AAA batteries and can be mounted practically anywhere.

These Vyanlight LED strips are an economical way to spotlight portions of your safe that aren’t covered well by the built-in lighting.

Beyond easy to install, my two month can put these put. They are really bright which is great for me. The motion sensor is not delayed. Great quality I personally feel. Super light weight and durable. I’m not sure about the battery life just yet, but all it takes is 4 Triple A batteries for each light. So far I am super pleased wit this purchase

Ziniyah

#6 Mind & Action LED Gun Safe Lights

Mind & Action has put together a powerful triple LED wireless solution for bringing ample lighting to your gun safe or cabinet.

With 3 large and fully adjustable LEDs, you can dial in this motion-activated LED strip to get maximum coverage.

It’s a fantastic light for a gun safe/cabinet. Motion sensor works great. The only thing I think is flawed is in the mounting options provided. If you were going to hard mount the light with screws there probably wouldn’t be an issue but in using either the velcro provided or the magnetic strip you have to cut them otherwise they cover up the battery door. We all know batteries don’t last very long so in changing them you would destroy either of these options.

Safe Dehumidifiers

You don’t want your prized firearms corroding, do you? Of course not! A dehumidifier, especially the super affordable silica gel canisters, can absorb moisture within your safe, keeping your guns in tip-top condition.

Best Gel Canisters and Silica Bags:

Gel canisters are some of the most affordable ways to keep your guns rust-free and come in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Canisters tend to be larger than bags and are better suited for medium to large gun safes. Silica bags also come in a variety of sizes and the smaller ones are great for really small gun safes that don’t have a lot of interior space.

#1 Hornady Reusable Canister 750G

The Hornady Reusable Canister Dehumidifier 750G, is the perfect solution to keep your large gun safes and cabinets moisture-free.

Works great so far, a little bigger than I hoped but still not huge. Haven’t had to warm it up yet so will see how that goes. Overall happy!

Mark

With its reusable feature, this canister provides a practical and economical choice for gun enthusiasts, offering long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.

#2 Silica Gel Canister 3-Pack 200g

These small canisters (4″ long) are great for medium-sized handgun safes or you can put all three inside of rifle safe to ensure moisture control in humid environments.

I put these in my gun safe. They reduce the humidity by over half. I have a humidity meter in the safe so I can keep an eye on it. Here in Florida the humidity is high so something is necessary. Recharging them is easy so they last several weeks.

Dan Anderson

#3 Hornady Reusable Silica Bag 450g

These rechargeable Hornady Silica gel bags are very popular and affordable solutions to keep your guns corrosion-free inside of a small to medium-sized gun safe or cabinet.

I have been running 6 of these for 2-Years in the safe in the garage which is hot and muggy.. only had to recharge once…and…not a single drop of rust…. let that sink in…..these work and they work very well. Buy with confidence

Matthew

#4 Wisedry Rechargeable Silica Gel Bag 2-Pack 500g

These Wisedry silica gel bags are easy to recharge by cooking them in the microwave, making them more convenient and quicker to charge than the gel canisters.

Works great ,but be careful when microwaving to remove moisture you need a good little scale to weigh pouch until it gets down to it dry weight. A minute at a time in microwave then weigh you might need to let pouch cool down after each cook so you don’t melt pouch

Electronic Dehumidifiers and Dryers:

Two different types of electronic dehumidifiers aim to achieve the same goal using different methods.

The first type includes silica beads and employs electronics to automatically recharge, eliminating the need for manual recharging in an oven.

These models are wirelessly operated, rechargeable, and run on battery power. The second type relies on a heated rod to evaporate any moisture inside the safe.

For this type, it is necessary to connect it to an internal outlet within the safe or use a wire routed through a hole in the safe to an external outlet.

#1 Afloia Wireless Gun Safe Dehumidifier

These affordable wireless dehumidifiers from Afloia are an awesome solution for small to medium-sized safes.

When the silica beads (seen through the top window) change from orange to dark green, just place it on the PTC heating base for about 2H and it’s ready to be reused.

These things are great. I recently bought a gun safe and didn’t want to drill holes for an outlet so I got these for their reusability. It’s about 35% humidity in my basement with my dehumidifier running all the time. These 2 canisters will drop my safe humidity to about 25% with the door closed. They aren’t quite made for that much space but they work well. It takes about 2 hours on the base to “recharge” or dry out the beads.

Justin Burgess

#2 Eva-Dry Gun Safe Dehumidifier

With its built-in wall plug, this Eva-Dry is a convenient way to keep smaller safes moisture-free. When the light turns green, simply plug it into a nearby outlet to recharge the silica beads inside and then it’s ready to reuse.

Rashoxmon here with a solid review of the Eva-dry E-333 Mini Dehumidifier in White Sand. This little wonder is a game-changer for my gun safe. It’s a moisture-busting champ that keeps things dry and pristine. When those orange beads switch to green, a quick 24-hour charge gets it ready for action again. Simple, effective, and a must-have for maintaining optimal conditions. If you’re on the hunt for a reliable dehumidifier, the Eva-dry E-333 is a clear winner.

Rashoxmon

#3 Hornady Rechargeable Gun Safe Dehumidifier

The Hornady rechargeable dehumidifier works exactly like the EvaDry but is a bit larger. Once the beads in the window turn green, simply plug them into a wall outlet to recharge.

Having so many options online it was hard to decide which was the best route to go. The rechargeable feature seemed the best option and has paid off. YES, it does take awhile for the beads to recharge BUT it lasts months. Truly happy I went this route rather than having one of these hot rod sticks in the safe running a risk for fire. Truly a solid purchase for a low price and the comfort of knowing your safe will be dehumidified.

Temp and Humidity Monitoring

Ever had that nagging feeling in your gut that makes you worry about the condition of the guns in your safe? Wouldn’t it be nice to know when the conditions within your safe are running amok?

Well, digital hygrometer thermometers for gun safes give you a digital readout on the outside of your safe!

Best Digital Hygrometer Thermometers:

Designed to ensure the optimal conditions for storing firearms, these thermometers accurately measure both temperature and humidity inside the safe, revealing the environment within.

#1 GoveeLife BT Hygrometer Thermometer

This highly affordable GoveeLife thermometer/hygrometer is equipped with a highly precise Swiss-made sensor that can detect minute temperature changes of ±0.54°F and humidity fluctuations of ±3% RH. It has an impressive refresh rate of 2 seconds.

Additionally, it allows manual calibration for temperature and humidity.

The GoveeLife Smart Thermo-Hygrometer is a good temperature and humidity reader. It accurately measures both temperature and humidity levels, providing real-time data that helps in maintaining a comfortable and healthy environment within your home or any space you use it in.

Jaiser M.

The wireless thermometer hygrometer allows for smart remote monitoring with a Bluetooth range of up to 196ft. It enables you to track temperature and humidity graphs from a distance.

Additionally, if the temperature or humidity levels exceed the range you specified, you will be promptly notified, providing you with the ability to respond to any fluctuations in air quality.

#2 Hornady Wireless Hygrometer Monitor

Unlike the previous monitor that can only be monitored via an app when the safe is closed, Hornady’s approach is to place the sensor portion inside of the safe so you can put the display directly on your safe (using the built-in magnets).

This may be preferable to those who are less technically inclined and don’t want to mess around with phone apps

This is a great way to quickly check the interior conditions of my safe at a glance. No more need to open to make sure the dehumidifier is on. The magnets on the display could be stronger. Sometimes it starts to slide down the door which can get annoying.

Safe Organizers

Want to make the most of your space? Door panel organizers allow you to store handguns, magazines, and other small items on the door of your safe, freeing up shelf space.

These are, by far, some of the best gun safe accessories you can add since they instantly increase the storage capabilities of gun cabinets without a lot of room to spare for pistols, magazines, and ammo.

Best Door Panel Organizers:

The door panel organizers we’ve selected below come in a variety of sizes, so make sure to find the solution that will best fit your particular gun safe and the added features you’re looking for.

We prefer the molle panels with lots of pockets and built-in holsters over the metal door hangers, but the metal panel hangers are great for smaller gun cabinets.

For those seeking to enhance the storage and organization capabilities of their spacious gun safes, SPIKA offers excellent quality, functionality, and value.

Have looked for a door panel or organizer for this safe over 10 years now. This is a very well thought out organizer. Velcro adjustable straps makes instalment a breeze. Was about 4 inches short but knew that before ordering but with 3 clips per side I don’t expect it to be a problem. Even provided alternative clips to fit different thicknesses of panels. Arrangement of pockets, clip holders, and pouches can keep together by caliber with corresponding long gun in front. A place for everything and everything easy to get to.

#5 Liberty Gun Safe Door Organizer

This is a great option for those who already own a mid-sized Liberty safe or similarly sized rifle safe and are looking to add as much storage and organization as possible.

If anyone is wondering like me if the dimensions you measured are going to turn out to be wrong, as is my usual luck with this kind of thing, I have an old 55×17 (outside dimensions) SentrySafe. I can’t find the model as I bought it second hand and have no idea, but I rolled the dice that my measurements were right and it fits like a glove. 

Dan

#6 Liberty Gun Safe Door Organizer

This is a great option with a large variety of pockets and holster sizes. Perfect for those who already own a Large Liberty safe- or similarly sized large rifle safe- and are looking to add as much storage and organization as possible.

I’ve been looking to get my hands on one of these for several years, Liberty seems to always be out, then I figured I’d try Amazon. They had it from Liberty so I ordered it. Came early, set up was a breeze. Took about 1 minute. Now I just need more pistols to fill it up.

Mike

#7 SPIKA Medium Gun Safe Door Organizer

If you have a smaller rifle safe and want to enhance organization and quick access to handguns, the SPIKA door organizer is the perfect solution.

This was the first door work of art? There is nothing bad to say about this. It is a very helpful there’s 1 million places to put whatever you need in there

Francisco

#8 Stealth MOLLE Safe Door Organizer

The Stealth door organizer designed for medium-sized rifle safes is unrivaled when it comes to customization, thanks to its remarkable MOLLE system which enables you to personalize it entirely according to your preferences.

This safe door organizer is great. It fits snuggly and doesn’t move. Plenary of room for future options. Feels like it will stand the test of time. I definitely recommend. Measurements are true to the description.

Brian R.

#9 SPIKA Small Gun Safe Door Organizer

The SPIKA door organizer is a perfect choice for those with limited space in their rifle safes who want to enhance organization and easily reach their handguns.

Great product with plenty of places for pistols and accessories. Fits my safe great with different mounting options depending on the inside of your safe door.

James Fleming

#10 SPIKA Extra Small Safe Door Organizer

Our recommendation for maximizing storage space in a smaller 3-5 rifle gun locker would be the smallest SPIKA door organizer available.

The stand-offs while appreciated are just to flimsy to hold everything securely on a swinging door without shifting a bit and forcing you to readjust it from time to time in order to get the safe door closed again. I ended up, in the end, removing the mounting hardware and screwing it directly to the felt wall of my safe made for a much neater and more secure install…

The Z Family

#11 Lockdown Extra Small Safe Door Organizer

The smallest and most cost-effective door organizer featured in this list provides great convenience.

It serves as a perfect fit for compact rifle lockers, as well as a useful addition for creating additional storage space in larger long gun safes.

Works great holds everything in place. I have additional space in my safe now. More room for more guns.

Handgun Organization

Pistol racks and handgun holders are a gun enthusiast’s best friend when it comes to safe organization.

These nifty accessories not only keep your pistols neatly arranged, but they also make accessing them quick and hassle-free.

Best Pistol Racks and Handgun Holders:

With a friendly and efficient design, pistol racks and handgun holders ensure that your firearms stay securely in place, minimizing the risk of any accidental damage or scratches.

This list contains our favorite foam racks, magnetic holders, and shelf hangers.

#1 Mind & Action Foam Pistol Rack 2-Pack

We love the Mind & Action pistol rack because it is constructed from lightweight foam and features a customizable design.

With the panels easily sticking together using the provided double-sided tape, you can effortlessly tailor it to fit the space requirements of your safe.

I bought the 8 pistol rack and was able to neatly fit 7 pistols on the top shelf in my safe. Neat and organized. I like them…

Ani A.

#2 Adoreal Foam Pistol Rack 2-Pack

The Adoreal foam pistol rack offers a fantastic, sleek design that accommodates full-sized, compact, and subcompact pistols flawlessly with its two height profiles.

Constructed with tough ABS plastic, the frame enhances stability and longevity.

So the top shelf of my safe is not very high due to the lower shelf and long rifles underneath. Needed something to organize the pistols. Some other options looked really cool but we’re too thick on the bottom and I was worried about clearance with my pistols that had optics. These fit my 1911, 2011, CZ and everything else perfectly. The Desert Eagle wouldn’t fit as the part where it rests near the muzzle is too small as well. After this test run I’m going to order a couple more for the rest of the pistols in the safe.

Charlie

#3 Liberty Safe Under Shelf Pistol Holder

Make the most of the space beneath your rifle safe by adding this Liberty pistol holder if it comes with a shelf.

Designed to hold four handguns of any kind, this holder offers a secure and scratch-free grip inside the barrel, thanks to its plastic coating and rubber end cap.

Installed these a couple months ago and they work great for my compact 9mm guns they are currently holding. Easy to install in my safe, and just as easy to hang and remove my firearms from them.

Richard

#4 GPS Foam Pistol Cradle Holder

The versatile GPS foam pistol holder serves two purposes – it can be used inside your safe or carried in a range bag.

Featuring dense and thick foam panels, it effectively cradles your handguns and safeguards them against potential drop damage.

Absolutely perfect. Fits my Sig P320 .45 with laser and Glock 45 with tactical light a little snug but, better than the alternative of flopping over. Just ordered another for my other safe.

JC

#5 Mind & Action Foam 4-Pistol Rack

The Mind & Action 4-pistol rack, crafted with durable plastic and felt-wrapped particle board, is a top choice for showcasing your handgun collection with elegance.

Its taller design makes it more suitable for gun safes that offer ample shelf space clearance.

Extremely easy to put together and has a soft finish that offers good support and will not scratch. Perfect to organize and allow extra storage room. I wish I would have gotten one sooner

David K.

#6 Antreemag Foam & PVC Pistol Rack

Antreemag offers a remarkable foam pistol rack, which consists of seven laser-cut PVC slats arranged together and reinforced with three long security bolts.

When fully assembled, this design ensures exceptional rigidity.

I currently have a few very heavy full sized pistols ( with optics and lights) and revolvers stored in this rack and they all sit nicely and look great. This frees up a lot of room on my safe shelf.

Charlie

#7 UnitedPower Metal 4-Pistol Rack

The UnitedPower all-metal pistol rack boasts an undeniably badass and impressive design.

Not only does it comfortably accommodate four full-sized handguns, but it also includes a foam-lined spare magazine shelf at the bottom, maximizing its functionality.

Very nice rack especially for the price. Very sturdy and the trim is non marring and holds the pistols in place very well, even with a WML. Will be picking up another for sure.

BriBri

#8 BSTTEK Foam & PVC 6-Pistol Rack

The BSTTEK 6-pistol rack bears resemblance to the Antreemag pistol rack in its design, but distinguishes itself with a patriotic touch from its faded Stars & Stripes Motif.

This product was easy to put together, and I really like how it displays my weapons. Really happy with my purchase.

James W.

#9 Adoreal Metal 4-Pistol Rack

The Adoreal 4-pistol rack is built with ultra-durable metal slats that encase a layer of foam and are fastened tightly using robust, extended bolts to ensure optimal sturdiness.

While resembling other racks, this one possesses a sleeker design that does not fully surround your pistols. This pistol rack comes fully assembled, which is always nice.

This rack worked well. It is sturdy. It came assembled – bonus! I was able to put it to immediate use without any issues. I would recommend.

Happy Customer

#10 BenchMaster Magnetic 2-Pistol Holder

The BenchMaster magnetic 2-gun holder offers an excellent solution to utilize any unused space inside your safe.

Equipped with four powerful magnetic strips, this 2-pistol holster securely attaches to any metal surface, ensuring reliable and swift accessibility.

^Velcro versions are also available as an alternative if that’s a better fit for your safe.

My main purpose for purchasing these was to gain some room in my Safe. I am easily using the horizontal model of this product for that purpose and have left details in that review. So quickly here I’ll say that the advertised dimensions are accurate, the foam is more than capable to hold the pistols and hold up to storage use and the plastic dividers/ ends are strong enough for the job also. They are holding a full load of 1911 pistols without a problem.

M.A. Vitale

#11 Liberty Safe Dual Shelf Hangers

Just like Liberty’s under-shelf pistol hangers, this model includes additional top and bottom hangers to optimize pistol storage capacity.

Consequently, there is no necessity to buy a separate gun rack for the top shelf; however, it does reduce some of the space available on the top shelf.

fits neatly on the shelf and enables you to maximize space in your gun safe.

Happy Customer

#12 Gootus Magnetic Gun Holder For Safe

These Gootus magnetic holders can be mounted anywhere inside your safe using four screws per holder and its built-in magnets can support the weight of any handgun with its stated 35 lbs of magnetic attraction.

By placing the slide of any semi-auto pistol into the grips of these magnetic monsters, you can easily achieve a highly secure and swift-access solution.

 What I like about this is it the magnet is very strong it holds your pistol very securely and not only that you can rack the slide with the pistol in the in the magnet mount and that’s awesome. I can’t really think of anything I don’t like about it.

Harry H.

#12 TacBox FS Pistol/ 2-Mag Holder

TacBox presents a highly adaptable product that seamlessly transitions between your safe and your car.

Simply use 4 screws to securely attach it to your safe, or easily remove and relocate it to your vehicle’s center console, thanks to its convenient slot-mounted design.

Both my Beretta 92fs and Glock 48 fit just about perfect, especially when using the extra foam to get the correct fitment. Only complaint is over the 3M tape. I opted to get my own 3M tape with velcro to use instead of the one provided, because I wouldn’t want the box’s placement to be permanent in any singular vehicle. Other than that I’m happy with the product.

Omnirod

Should you prefer a fixed mounting option, TacBox also provides double-sided 3M tape to ensure it remains firmly in position.

#13 Vaultek Modular Dual Pistol Rack

This compact dual pistol rack, made by the highly reputable Vaultek brand, allows you to firmly hold a full-sized semi-auto pistol or revolver. It is specifically designed for smaller gun safes with limited space.

Fits nicely in my Verifi Smart Safe S6000 with room to spare. It’s holding a H&K USP Compact 40 and Glock G45 with standard sights. Seems high quality.

Will2Power

With a low profile, it offers excellent retention for any barrel or slide, ensuring a secure grip on your guns.

Rifle Safe Organization

Let’s face it… most rifle safes could use some additional rifle rack accessories that can adapt to rifles with super short or long barrels.

Or, you may just need an extra mount or two to increase the capacity of your safe while keeping things tidy. That’s where these awesome rifle organization accessories can prove their worth.

Best Rifle Racks and Holders:

Here’s a complete list of the best rifle racks and barrel holders that we’ve come across in our rifle-safe journey!

#1 Adoreal Magnetic 5-Slot Rifle Rack

This magnetic 5-slot rifle rack is a must for organizing your rifles more securely than a lot of built-in racks that come with most rifle safes.

Simply remove the existing rack and be amazed as the strong magnets hold the rack in place.

I wanted something I can adjust to where I can place my long guns in and not have to depend on a fixed mount. As you know, long guns come in different forms, wide, shorter than some, etc… With this magnetic mount, I can adjust the placement with out having to drill holes and do the mount again.

The magnet is strong and the rubber coating is way better than the plastic fixed mounts this safe came with.
I highly recommend.

Noah Guy

Comes in 3-slot options too.

#2 Universal Foam 5-Slot Rifle Racks (2 Sets)

These 2-piece 5-slot rifle foam rifle racks are great for securely holding your rifles inside of large gun safe, gun cabinets, or even a gun closet.

Use the included magnetic strips to attach to metal safes or cabinets.

I don’t have a gun safe, but I have a locking closet. I used these racks in the closet and they function exactly how I hoped. What used to be a little jumbled is now well organized. I am very happy with this purchase.

Steve

#3 Adoreal Foam w/Magnet 5-Slot Rifle Racks

Here’s another affordable offering from Adoreal that adds 5 slots of foam storage to any old gun safe or metal cabinet.

This one has a lower section that adds more stability to rifles. Can be cut to suit your needs and the strong magnets will keep them firmly in place.

These are amazing. They beat what comes with a gun cabinet by miles. They are magnetic and can moved and adjusted for different rifle or shotgun sizes. They can hold/cradle numerous guns without them being all up and each other. They can be attached to a truck or car when out hunting. They are made of of a solid soft covered foam.

Abe F

#4 Gun Safe Bundle For Rifles, Pistols, & Mags

Included in this bundle are 10 Rifle Rods along with a coordinating Shelf Liner, which offers a straightforward solution to effectively display your rifles and shotguns, ultimately maximizing space and functionality.

Obviously my safe needed cleaning/organizing, but I couldn’t have done this layout without this kit.

Adam

Additionally, you will receive 2 Original Handgun Hangers that can securely store pistols underneath your shelf, allowing for effortless access and freeing up closet and cabinet space.

This bundle also includes 1 Mag Minder, which conveniently organizes gun magazines by providing a track underneath the shelf for easy access and optimal shelf clearance.

#5 Peregrine Field Gear Magnet Rifle Caddy

Enhance your safe’s capacity by utilizing this space-saving, compact design that maximizes the number of guns your safe can accommodate.

This works fantastic. Way better than a barrel rod extender. The only thing I think that could make it better is if they added an attachment to make it so it wasn’t as close to the wall that way you don’t have to rotate scoped rifles and can save room. Other than that they are great.

Joseph

With its versatile modular design, the Peregrine rifle caddy is ideal for short-barrel rifles and carbines, providing a flexible solution.

Convenient across various locations, whether in your vehicle, gun safe, or any other space that demands additional support, this product will prove to be an invaluable addition to any safe.

Magazine Organization

Loose magazines in larger gun safes can get out of hand quickly and clutter up your valuable space!

Adding some magazine organization into the mix will clean things up while making everything else in your gun safe easy to find and access.

Best Magazine Holders:

Magazine holders come in several varieties and give you the ability to store your magazines inside your safe in a neat and organized way.

#1 Mind & Action Magnetic Magazine Holder

This product is suitable for mounting on various surfaces such as safes, cabinets, bedside tables, desks, offices, and any other location where needed.

Works great for the price. Held full mags 9 mm, 45, and larger. Will only hold metal magazine, although they will hold up my polymer Glock mags with steel case rounds loaded.

Matthew K.

You can easily apply the provided self-adhesive backing or mount the screws to the location of your choice.

Rest assured that the soft rubber surface will not cause any scratches or damage to your magazines when they come in contact with it.

#2 Keeper MG Magnetic Magazine Holder

The design of the Keeper MG gun safe magazine holder is durable and of high quality, intended to last long with a screwless mounting feature and robust backing magnets.

First time trying to organize my safe. Went with this more expensive model instead of a no name one.The magnets are strong! Had to use a good amount of force to shift it and align on my cabinet door.Holds mags up fine and I can imagine no issues with fully loaded mags.

Mr Neckbeard

It is equipped with powerful neodymium magnets that securely hold firearm magazines, being strong enough to support up to 7 loaded or unloaded metal clips or magazines.

#3 MagStorage AK-47/AR-10 Mag Holder

The MagStorage Solutions AK-47 / AR-10 Mag Holder is a useful tool for efficiently managing your magazine storage, organization, and tactical space.

I love these mag storage holds 6 full or empty mags… have 4 for ar15 and now 3 for ar10 holds 5-30 round possibly the 40 round mags out there… great product very sturdy with several amounting options.

Vince

This accessory is designed to store and organize high-round capacity magazines such as the AK-47, AR-10, and others.

With this innovative Gun Safe Accessory, you can safely and conveniently access your high-round count magazines in a quick and hassle-free manner.

#4 MagStorage Gun Safe AR-15 Mag Holder

Identical in design to the product above, except this model is specifically designed to hold AR-15 magazines. You can mount this inside a safe, on a wall, or even a cabinet.

This is by far the best thing I’ve found to organize my magazines. Mounted them on the door of my safe. They freed up space inside my safe and look awesome! They also fit all my pmags with ranger plates and dust covers!

Torq22

#5 Case Club Mag Holder Insert For Ammo Can

This foam insert by Case Club holds one semi-auto pistol with 11 magazines. This awesome closed-cell foam insert is military-grade polyethylene, which can be wiped clean.

Note: It does not include that ammo can, but is meant to be used in ones you already own.

Very nice, comes as a solid laser cut block allowing one to customize magazine height and gun cutout with the removable foam. The eleventh magazine is in the beretta. That space I used for three ten gram desiccants, Happy thanks.

Benjamin

#6 MytypeMAG Magnetic Magazine Holder

You can conveniently mount the MytypeMAG magazine holder against any metal surface, such as a gun safe or metal corner of a desk, thanks to its double-sided magnet.

The magnet on this is really strong, I ended up just sticking it to the side of my safe. It comes with some screws and drywall anchors, so you have a few options for mounting right out of the box.

With three powerful gun magnets on the back, it can securely hold up to seven loaded magazines without the need for screws.

#7 Adoreal ABS PMAG AR-15 Magazine Rack

The Adoreal AR-15 mag holder wall mount offers ample storage to house smart parts on its top shelf and conveniently holds up to six magazines.

I personally was just try to find a way to efficiently use space and decided that attaching some neodymium magnets to this thing was the way to go. Works great on the safe just needs some rubber pads so it won’t slide with more weight on it.

Though not specifically designed for mounting inside gun safes, some have found ways of mounting them outside (as you will see below).

Firearm Protection

For those who don’t frequently access and maintain their firearm collection, you can add additional layers of rust protection on top of any moisture inhibitors you may already be using.

These come in the form of silicon-impregnated sock sleeves and special corrosion-resistant plastic VCI-treated bags.

Best Sleeves For Corrosion Resistance:

Here’s our list of the most effective products that’ll keep the rust off of your beloved rifles and handguns relegated to “safe queen” status!

#1 Guguluza Silicone-Treated Rifle Sleeve

These Guguluza sleeves are particularly suitable for long-term storage in gun safes, as well as transportation or travel using a gun case.

I highly recommend! These are durable quality as they are thick and you can feel how well the silicon is imbedded. I would definitely buy again or recommend to anyone needing to protect their long arms. Worth the investment, cant beat the price either.

Sunny

Tailored to provide optimal protection for guns during storage or travel, this product boasts a highly elastic 100% polyester fabric that surpasses other brands in thickness while offering enhanced protection for your firearms.

#2 Sumind Silicone-Treated Handgun Sock

Rifles aren’t the only thing that can benefit from these silicone-treated socks. Handguns will share the same benefits when storing them in a safe over long periods without use or maintenance.

A 6-pack of these Sumind handgun socks will keep your guns rust-free!

Use to store items in safe. Not for protection against drops, hits, scratches! Soft crew sock material. You can add pure silicone spray to material if you need to resupply protection. I buy pure silicone at local auto parts store.

Designed to accommodate scope-mounted rifles, this GMW silicone-treated sock sleeve offers all of the same benefits as the sleeves above. Comes in several colors to suit your taste.

these seem to be good quality and fit perfectly on all my scopeless guns. I was able to get one on a gun that had a scope but it took me a while.

#4 Flyfan Silicone-Treated Rifle Sock Sleeve

These Flyfan silicon sleeves come in the most attractive colors and there are a few to choose from. They look a step above quality and should perform as you would expect them to.

This product offers protection for rifles, shotguns, handguns, ammo, reloading supplies, survival, and prepper tactical EDC tools.

These rust prevention storage bags work amazing. I live close to the coast where there is lots of humidity, a pretty corrosive environment for my firearms, especially the ones that have blued steel and can rust easily. I have been using these bags for quit sometime with no signs of rust on my firearms. 

Happy Customer

It provides full enclosure coverage, safeguarding even inaccessible areas that are difficult to reach. Therefore, there is no need for oils, desiccants, emitters, or diffusers. Also, you can easily customize and cut it to fit smaller parts and accessories.

#6 Arms Preservation VCI Anti-Rust Pistol Bags

These bags, unlike single-layer ones, are designed with multiple layers. Arms Preservation VCI pistol bags include flexible packaging barrier layers to prevent the external atmosphere from seeping into the bag.

Similarly, they effectively seal the anti-corrosion VCI chemistry within the bag.

This is a very heavy duty bag with thick layers and a very strong velcro opening. I bought it as an easy way to keep less used guns rust free and liked that it came with a closure that didn’t require zipties or tape.
The bags are easy to use, shipping was fast, and they’re made in the USA
