For firearm owners who want a dependable, no-frills storage solution, the AMSEC PS1208EZ is a proven pistol safe worth considering. Built from durable 14-gauge steel and equipped with a trusted Simplex mechanical lock, this safe provides security and convenience without relying on electronics or batteries.
Durable Steel Construction
The PS1208EZ is made from 14-gauge steel, giving it a sturdy build despite its compact size. At just 11 pounds, it’s heavier than most small pistol boxes, yet still light enough to travel with. A continuous welded hinge adds strength, while the folded-over lip design makes it more resistant to prying attempts.
Mechanical Lock Advantage
Unlike electronic safes that require batteries or charging, the AMSEC PS1208EZ uses a completely mechanical Simplex lock. This lock system is widely trusted by locksmiths for its durability and reliability, even in outdoor or high-use applications. With no electronics to fail, you get long-lasting performance and peace of mind.
Travel-Friendly with Secure Options
The PS1208EZ includes a carrying handle, making it easy to transport in a vehicle, RV, or boat. While its construction meets TSA standards, the lock itself may not, so it’s best not to rely on it for air travel. For home or on-the-go security, you can use the pre-drilled anchor holes to bolt it down to a surface for added protection.
Interior Protection and Flexibility
Inside, the safe features foam padding on both the top and bottom to protect firearms from scratches. The foam is pluck-style, so you can customize it to fit handguns like a P365 XL, a full-sized 1911, or even multiple pistols. If you need more space, simply remove one foam layer to increase interior height for larger firearms or valuables.
Combination Options
The Simplex lock allows you to set a custom combination. While combinations can’t include repeating digits like “1225,” you can press multiple buttons at once for more creative and secure codes. It’s a straightforward system designed to balance simplicity with flexibility.
Pricing
The MSRP of the PS1208EZ is around $360, but at A-1 Locksmith stores you’ll often find it closer to $270. For a mechanical pistol safe with this level of build quality and reliability, it’s a fair investment—especially when you consider the long-term savings of avoiding electronic failures.
Who It’s For
This safe is perfect for anyone looking to secure a handgun or small valuables in a nightstand, RV, or office. It’s not designed to be Fort Knox, but it’s an excellent way to keep firearms away from children and guests while ensuring quick access when needed.
