You spend 1500 on a safe and only put $1000 worth guns in it it sounds like you should go out and buy more guns so your making it earn it's keep! I bought the big one they sell at Academy and it's fine for what I have,it's full of long guns and left enough room to move them around with top space for papers and ammo or misc..Gun safes are money well spent so spend it on a good one if you can swing it!
