I have had these mounted on both side of our headboard for several years now and have been pleased with them..

I have a GunVault Microvault. I use it mostly for when I travel and need to leave my gun in my car, but you could easily use it for a nightstand, which I‘ve done on occasion. I don’t have kids in my house, so now I normally leave my gun on my nightstand in an unzipped gun rug.

I have three Vaultek safes, 2-up to 8 gun versions and one 1-2 gun version. About once a month I do everything I can to convince myself I need another version of their product 😂.

Yep, have a G17 and 19 with a Streamight TLR7 on them. You just cut the foam out to fit.

I have a Hornady Snapsafe.
It works extremely well, can hold 2 pistols, and is fun when the front snaps open. The only downside is that it eats through batteries and I have to replace its four AAA’s every 5 months, so getting some rechargeables is my compromise. Has a backup key included.

I’ve had a few Gunvault and they've been fine. I’ve switched over to Vaultek lately. I have 5 scattered around the house. (Teenage kids, so everything is locked up) I’m a big fan of Vaultek now. They can be plugged in which minimizes the worry that the battery will be dead. It has a battery that is used for backup in case of a power outage. I’ve never had one fail to open on the first try. Speaking of which, I have yet to see a fingerprint one that opens consistently enough for me.
Good luck with your search.

Which model do you have? The option to plug it in is appealing to me

Great option also, and just a mechanical simplex (think that is the correct term) lock, right? I gave mine to my little brother and he really likes it. I had one similar made by Aegis years ago but when I went to get another they’d gone out of business. Still have that in my closet somewhere.

I like the V-Line options if you have a place to mount them.

Simplex lock. No batteries.
In a prior home I had the in-wall model. Currently I have a Top Draw bolted into an armoire next to my bed.

I went through a few of the Gun Vaults when I started buying them, they just didn’t last much past two years. I have had great luck with Hornady. I keep them around the house, others are stashed on magnets.
My nightstand gun is on the nightstand, if I have to get up at night I don’t want to screw with a combination.

I’ve had mine for a decade, or longer, and it hasn’t given me a problem. Thanks for the info. There are some interesting suggestions on this thread I wasn’t familiar with, so I may try something new if the need arises.

I got a Gunvault GV1000 24 years ago.
It's still going strong.

One thing that was surprising about the Gun Vault was how delicate the inside parts are. When you hit the button a tiny motor had a wheel on it and would wind up a thin cable that looked like a fishing leader and open the latch. With mine the cable would break.
