Lots of guns means lots of fun but as well it makes for tight quarters in the gun safe. As such what modifications have you made in your safe that you would like to share? Any tips or tricks welcomed as well.

For me I took a simple cheap stack-on cabinet, lined it with crate liner, added some magnets to a USB rechargeable motion sensing LED light and then added the revolver wall.

This is an easy one day project that cost less than $50 to make and is really effective in organizing the hard to store revolvers.

Up next, the semi-autos. I'm going to make another similar panel that I'll mount in the door.

A handy add is 1-2 handgun racks on the top shelf. I have a dozen prongs at a 30 degree angle that you just slide the barrel into. Of course empty slots just means a visit to your FFL to correct the problem.
Many safes have a double rifle rack configuration with a small shelf space in between. One of those old style letter lock boxes sits on that nicely. It'll hold passports, jewelry, or whatever. The zipper pouches on the front door are handy for holding safe deposit and other cabinet keys. Pretty much describes my configuration. That and a hot rod in the bottom for moisture control. I was thinking magazine pouches but it's much more visible and handy just to put the magazines under the respective pistols on the top shelf.

Yes, I have a smaller fire proof safe for all the paperwork. I do have another cabinet planned to stack on top for all the ammo and mags. Once that's done the shelf will be for glass. I will say that's the one nice thing about revolvers - no mags.

I have both given the different uses here in the sticks. That includes a 460 SW on the spread when the bears take a liking to chicken coops. BTW the safes are behind closet doors. I'm deciding if it makes sense to move them from the man cave downstairs to the man cavern (large shop). Regardless, I'm finishing out a She Shed to even things up a bit.

Yes sometimes that's the best approach. I have a feeling I'm headed in that direction - rifles, shotgun, handguns and one for bulk ammo.
