Cannon Safari Gun Safe Review

Are you looking for a high capacity safe to store 24-48 rifles?

If so, you will want to check out the range of Cannon gun safes. Cannon gun safes are popular with buyers, and they have a safe for every size that you might need. If you only have 24 rifles (or less), you will want to have a look at the Cannon Safari 24 gun safe. If you have 25-36 rifles to store, the Cannon Safari 36 gun safe is the right one for you.

What if you have more guns to store away securely?

The Cannon Safari 48 gun safe has got you covered and as the name implies can hold up to 48 guns.

Since the Cannon 24 Safari gun safe, the Cannon Safari 36 gun safe, and the Cannon Safari 48 gun safe are all part of the same series, we can examine the features for each of them at the same time.

Each of these Cannon gun safes includes 30 minutes of fire protection for your guns and other valuables, and secures with locking bolts and internal hinges. Adjustable shelving allows you to rearrange the interior as you see fit. If for example you only have 30 guns to store and you purchase the 36 gun safe, you might add some internal shelving for other valuables. If however you do have 36 guns to store, you might want to remove all that shelving so you can make full vertical use of the gun safe capacity (or buy a larger safe, like the Safari 48).

Customer Reviews For Cannon Safari Gun Safes

What do Cannon gun safe reviews have to say about the Cannon Safari 24 gun safe, the Cannon Safari 36 gun safe, and the Cannon Safari 48 gun safe? These are all very highly rated Cannon gun safes, and the Cannon gun safe reviews for each of these models are overwhelmingly positive. Ranging from around $220-$1,000, any one of them is an excellent deal.

Customers praise the sturdiness and weight of the safe. They also liked the fact that the shelving is adjustable to your needs, and that you can utilize the interior space in any way that suits you. The safe can be bolted to the ground, which customers say is a bit challenging, but still not too difficult. You can change the lock battery from the outside of the safe.

Again, these are all basically the same safe; it is only the capacity which differs.

Cannon gun safes are high in quality and include an abundance of excellent features. Read Cannon gun safe reviews, and you will see how satisfied customers are with these safes. Which one should you get? It all depends on how much space you need.

Remember to account for all the items you are planning on storing in your safe, not just your rifles! If you are also going to be putting handguns and other valuables inside and utilizing the shelves, you may need a larger capacity than you think. If for example you plan on storing 32 rifles and using all the shelves, you probably should get the 48 capacity Safari gun safe and not the 36 capacity safe. Check the dimensions, do your math, and choose the best safe for you!

Cannon 48 Gun Safe Review

Cannon 48 gun safe.

• 14 Gauge Steel Door and Body
• CA DOJ Approved Firearm Safety Device
• ETL Verified 30 Minute Fire Rating with Dual Fin Door Seal
• Huge Gun Capacity and Door Panel Organizer for Additional Storage
• Lifetime Warranty from a Reliable Company
• Internal Hinge Restricts Door Opening to 90 Degrees
• Solenoid Electronic Lock
• Identical Model Available with High Quality Lock

Originally headquartered in California, Cannon was one of the first companies to every produce gun safes. They since moved their headquarters to Henderson, Nevada and all manufacturing operations to Mexico. They have an interesting history over the last decade. Alpha Guardian acquired them through a merger with Stack-On. They then went bankrupt and came back to life. While Cannon safes are not the premier, high security products they once were, they are quite the bargain for the size. In this review, I’ll help you understand why the Cannon 48 Gun Safe TS5934 is one of the best options for the price.

Lock – Cannon 48 Gun Safe

I wish Cannon would just use the NL lock on all of their safes. In an attempt to cut cost and have the absolute lowest prices available, they opted to use a low quality Solenoid electronic lock. These locks are unbranded, un-rated and prone to failure. They include a key override for when the lock inevitably fails. Finally, they do not include a hard plate or re-locker and really are as cheap as you can get. Cannon offers an identical model with the UL Rated NL lock included, you can check it out here .

Security – Cannon 48 Gun Safe

The Cannon 48 Gun Safe TS5934 is CA DOJ approved as a firearm safety device . This rating certifies it can withstand light burglary protection. Ideally, you want a UL Approved as a Residential Security Container, RSC rating. Because it only has a 14 gauge steel door and body, it does not qualify for the test. This Cannon gun safe has 5 solid steel locking bolts 1.25″ thick and an internal hinge which offers no exposed cutting points.

In my opinion, there really isn’t a big difference between 11 gauge through 14 gauge steel as they can all be cut with the same saws. The big difference comes from the American Security BFX gun safes with concrete composite in the walls. This type of material just destroys the saw blades. They are significantly more expensive though so if you just need standard burglary protection, this 14 gauge Cannon will do a great job.

Fire Rating

The Cannon 48 Gun Safe TS5934 comes standard with a 45 minute fire rating at 1200 degrees . Cannon Gun Safes use Gypsum Fire board as their insulation material. This is consistent with nearly every other manufacturer besides American Security who uses concrete composite. Cannon used to have all of their gun safes tested with ETL to verify their claims but no longer do. This means that they only do a factory test and we have to trust that it will actually survive.

Also included is a dual state triple fin door seal . This seal expands to multiple times its size during the fire to keep smoke and heat out. Cannon also backs this gun safe with a lifetime transferable warranty against fire.

Style and Function

The Cannon 48 Gun Safe TS5934 is finished in a matte black paint scheme. Hardware includes a chrome 3-spoke handle, chrome keypad and very stylish beveled edges. The interior is a gray carpeting with split gun rack capable of holding 55 firearms, adjustable side shelving, adjustable top shelf and door panel organizer with pistol holsters, pockets and a strap for holding a long gun on the door.

The Bottom Line

The Cannon 48 Gun Safe TS5934 is not one I can recommend due to the Solenoid Electronic lock. Cannon does offer an identical model with the NL lock that is secure and much better quality. You can check the better version, here .

Customer Reviews

USA 30. Beautiful construction and really appreciate the fire resistance rating. Exactly the right size for my needs. Now please just keep my safe info private. Thank you!

The safe is exactly what I had hoped for. The quality is perfect. The delivery service was great.

First safe for new gun owner. Wanted one that could store guns and important items easily. This safe fit the bill. Exactly as advertised, well built. Measurements spot on. Delivered and fit as expected. Highly recommend.

Great first safe. The USA 36 is a good size to have, room to grow unless you have 20-25+ long guns. Personal preference is to have one side of shelving for other storage, and there are 18 slots on each side. It seems like realistically it might be more like 14 guns that will fit on one side (some with straps, some with scopes, etc). Seems like 18 would be very tight on each side. This safe will last me a lifetime and if I need more storage, I will likely just get another one to put right next to it!

Safe is amazing . Very well built with all the bells and whistles . Merica baby ! Delivery by Mike Wards Liberty safe was also amazing .

So far so good. Delivery from Knowells Safe was very smooth. They installed the power kit I purchased from them for no charge. They made positioning the safe look easy. Also let me know if we move they can move it for a fee. Safe seems very well built. Door and locks operate smoothly. Seems like a safe that will outlast me and that’s what I need. The capacity is pretty good. I would say you can probably fit 24 long guns in the bottom sections maybe more with rifle rods. I am only using one side for long gun storage and could definitely get 12 there with different scopes etc. using it this way leaves a lot of shelves for other items. So far I am very happy. I did pay for the lifetime warranty.

Awesome safe! Great delivery and installation team!

Very sturdy quality, well manufactured with good options.

I bought 2 of these one for inside .. one for outside. they seem to work great. the humidity level inside the safe is quite a bit lower than the outside with 1 peet dehumidifier and 1 rod dehumidifier. well pleased with product !!

It’s every thing you said is was I am very pleased with the product and will be ordering another one.

Fits my Revere 64 safe well. I have WiFi and Bluetooth temp/humidity sensors on the inside and noticed an increase in stability with both sets of sensors. I believe this cover will also extend the life of my VCI emitters. Plus, it helps conceal the fact it’s a safe to anyone who casually sees it. I recommend it based on my experience.

This is an amazing safe. So well built and worth every penny. I hesitated many years before upgrading to a safe with this level of quality construction. Do not hesitate!

I love the hangers they fit secure and the plastic coating does not harm my handguns ! they work well with my somewhat heavy 1911's

the 18" rod does a good job at reducing humidity . I have a liberty gauge both inside and out. It does the job !!

It looks comparable to the Scout series on the Cannon website - I think that the Safari series is made specifically to be sold by places like Dunham's and Cabela's. The main differences is in height - 55" as opposed to a full 60" for height, and only a thickness of 20" as opposed to 28" - fairly narrow front to back. In terms of security, it's probably going to be 12 gauge steel, which is thinner than 10 or 8 gauge of heavier-duty safes, and the door is composite, meaning that it's the same sheet steel sandwiching a fire resistant material, rather than having a thicker, plate steel door. I wish it had a better photo - specifically one with the door open. That way we could see the locking bolts - you need to have them on more than just the one side - if they are only on the side opposite the hinge, there are videos online showing just how quickly a couple of guys with pry bars can get into them - less than 5 minutes. If you really need something now, it would probably get you where you wanted to go, but there have been more than a few threads on safes where the general consensus is that you get what you pay for. A safe like that will keep the average Freddie Felon at bay, but it will barely slow down any one even slightly motivated. Something to consider, and again it's something that comes up in gun safe discussions, is the value of what you intend to store. There are guys who have tactical bolt guns where they've spent the better part of 5 grand on the build and glass, but only want to spend a few hundred on the safe that's intended to keep it safe. My advice would be to make do for a while if you can, until you've got a bit bigger budget, and then get something a bit more solid.
