SnapSafe Titan

There are a bunch of gun safes on the market, but the Titan has one big advantage — it comes unassembled. And while that may seem like a real disadvantage at first, the reality is that because this safe can be assembled quickly using only the tools provided you can place it in areas of your home or office that would not be accessible to a pre-assembled safe. With a 3/16″ door and 9 gauge steel exterior walls the SnapSafe guards your guns against intruders, and you can choose between two UL Security Listed locks, a SecuRam digital lock or a standard mechanical lock. Eight one-inch chrome steel locking bolts hold the door in place and the adjustable lined interior shelves hold up to 12 guns. Assembled weight (without guns) is 400 pounds, and this safe is fire rated for 2,300 degrees for one hour. The powder-coated exterior looks good and the shelves are adjustable so you can configure the Titan however you’d like. MSRP: $1,249. www.snapsafe.com

Rite In The Rain Storm Sight All-Weather Targets

When I’m at the range testing new loads I write notes on my targets regarding the ammo, atmospheric conditions, and so forth.

Browning Cadence Electric Hearing Protection

Shooting firearms without hearing protection causes damage to your hearing, and that damage can’t be reversed. But some shooters don’t like the inconvenience of having to remove plugs or ear muffs when speaking to others on the range, and for them, Browning has introduced their new Cadence Electric Hearing Protection. These muffs include an omnidirectional microphone that amplifies ambient sound, so you’ll still be able to hear what everyone around you is saying without forcing them to scream so you can hear them. However, amplification shuts off when ambient noise reaches a harmful level (82dB). The rounded earcups and soft cushioned headband allow for maximum comfort and the Cadence’s 24dB NRR passive protection meets ANSI S3.19 standards. Each unit runs on 2 AAA batteries. MSRP: $64.99. www.browning.com
