Is this what many people are using? Seems the most stable but still only 1.5" wide. BSTTEK About 1.5 inches wide. Concerns that the sides are too weak. CVLIFE This seems to have the widest room between slots. QueenLink Would like something stable that I am take out and move around with being too flimsy. Any input from anyone who has one of the above would be great. Any input of other items to check out too. ETA: Must be sturdy enough to carry outside the safe with a full rack of pistols. |

I have a coated wire pistol rack. Something like this. The foam ones I have used were too flexible and not rigid enough. Attached File |
Be the change you want in this world.
I have the 8-slot version of THIS. Works well enough but as of yesterday I need to upgrade to the 12-slot

I use this because the enclosed wall ones kinda suck for lights, odd sizes, and optics. I put my pistols in upside down though. https://store.hornady.com/8-gun-pistol-rack-2 |
I use individual hangers for most of my handguns in two different safes. 
I also have this inexpensive 8-slot unit that sits on the shelf of one of my safes, but it's not super rigid and probably not good for causally pulling the whole unit out at once:

I do have those hanging rods, which work but sometimes get in the way when reaching for items in the back. May required doing some rearranging of the safe to make the best use. |

Currently being used to store P320 grips. Really need to put them on EE, both grips and stand. |

The extra space in the tray could really come in handy and maximize usage. Curious if sitting in the back of the safe and have a full size pistol, is there an issue where the pistol can't be removed because it hits the upper shelf? |

This looks like a way to maximize space but not sure how to attach it. ETA : Duh, ignore. Its made to use with their safe. But a good idea. |

I have quite a few of THESE . Sturdy enough to carry fully loaded however I don't do it often. |

Now that I see that, how easily/quickly can you grab a pistol? That images shows a tight fit. Makes it seem you couldn't just grab one out. |

It's very sturdy to carry the full rack. It even has carry-handles on either side which I didn't realize until just now

The extra space in the tray could really come in handy and maximize usage. Curious if sitting in the back of the safe and have a full size pistol, is there an issue where the pistol can't be removed because it hits the upper shelf? I have an 8 pistol rack and a 4 pistol rack side by side ( 12 pistols) and they fit perfectly towards the back of my safe. The way this rack is made (no side dividers between each gun) it makes for great displaying plus I can easily reach back there to remove each pistol. I use to have it on the very top shelf, my safe has metal interior, one time I was removing a 1911 to quickly and the rear sight scratched the top of the safe. If you have optics this could be a problem. If you remove the pistol carefully this shouldn’t be an issue. I since moved the racks to a lower shelve to avoid this. The trays are useful and I highly recommend them. The look sharp lined with red felt. Once the lights come on it pops. The racks are sturdy. With 8 pistol on there I can pull the whole rack out and move it to my workbench with ease. It does not flex. Makes for a cool display once out of the safe. It’s also useful for cleaning. I have since purchase another 4 pistol rack for the purpose of cleaning. It sits empty on a shelf and is only occupied when I clean my guns. |

The Savior pistol rack got my vote and money. The 12 and 6 gun racks leave just enough space to add one more foam divider to hold a total of 19 guns. I wouldn't want to try carrying around the 12 gun rack full of guns, that would just be an accident waiting to happen.

I literally went to goodwill and bought a couple of plate racks, but they are also available on Amazon:

Along with the door storage and up top I have 4 magnets that hold them to the bottom of my top shelf. Works great. Attached File |

Anything would have to be drilled and was concerned about weight and eventually coming loose. |
