They are a Champion Safe dealer in the area. They frequent the gun shows and the self-reliance expo, I had originally got a flier from them before I was ready to buy.

I was looking for a pretty uniquely sized safe for my townhouse, and Champion had the largest safe that I could fit with the best fire and security options. So I took a trip to Colorado Safe Outlet's showroom and looked at the model I wanted. They only had one in stock, in green. Colors cost $100 more than the gray texture I wanted. Also green wouldn't be my ideal choice, but he knocked $100 off the price to put it to the same price as the safe I wanted since it was the only one they had in stock. I put it in a closet, so color didn't really matter to me.

Other (decidedly inferior) safes that I had looked at could not be delivered to my 3rd floor bedroom like I had wanted. Fortunately, Colorado Safe Outlet offered upstairs delivery and it only cost me an extra $100. A steal, in my opinion! Especially for the ordeal they went to to get it there. It took a lot of maneuvering and there was at least one point where I wasn't sure if it was going to make it, but in the end they got it exactly where I wanted it. They even delivered on a Sunday, which was perfect as I didn't have to wait around on a work day.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the level of customer service and cost for my new safe to be delivered to me. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe. I got the best safe I could find with no hassle.

I think so. I think they are a direct retailer of Champion, as thats where my credit card was charged to.

Only two local guys own this Retailer. Drew Helped me out, seemed very knowledgeable and overall a down-to-earth guy.

My safe gets delivered on the 4th so I'll update my post with feedback. Him and his other guy are going to come out and deliver it themselves.

I got this one (V-35):

$1999 plus tax. Not bad I guess.

They could not deliver Saturday because of the weather, I'd rather my new safe didn't get all slushy anyway. We'll try again on Wednesday.

Great guys to deal with. Drew is a good guy and didn't charge me for delivery to help me out on the price!

They delivered my purchase today, Just as I expected they are very nice and I got exactly what I wanted and they were very professional while delivering. They also don't leave until all of the aspects of the locking mechanisms and everything are demonstrated and practiced several times by you.

Look what Colorado Safe Outlet dropped off today?

Now all you gotta do is recover all those lost guns on the bottom of the lake. Looking good!

Yeah I forgot about those!

They didn't tell me that I could change the combo or give me a change key, but I am very familiar with these locks and that is the first order of business. after I get a change key or borrow one from work. They probably don't tell the average person that they can change it just in case someone forgets the combo, they can always call the factory to get the combo.

What brand lock....I probably have a change key I could send you. Also, any safe delivery company should tell their customer how to change the combo.

It is a S&G. It has the same change key hole that a 6720 3-wheel would take, but I forgot the paper that I wrote down the model number of the lock at home. You are right, I mean the change index indicator is there. I am so used to them being there that I didn't ask them "hey, what is that for?", because I already knew. I wonder what his answer would have been.

Also I am now wondering why a change key never came with the lock? Did it get intercepted at the factory? Or was it taken out of the documentation at the showroom, or do they not come with that particular series of lock as standard. Perhaps I may call and act like a dumb customer to see what they say.

I may just get one of these with all the different brand locks we have at work. LOL.

Heads up, I cut that piece out of my horizontal rack for my safe, I have no idea what it's supposed to be for but it makes it a pain to get anything in and out of the safe. I cut it so there's slots to rest barrels/muzzles all around the U-shaped piece of carpeted wood.

Yeah I thought that extra little peice was kinda of not neccesary for the wood rest to function., I may end up doing the same thing, It looks like it may be a PITA to angle the back row of long guns into the safe.

The only thing I can think of is for long rifles with scopes, and you have the piece high enough so that the muzzle rests on it. Then you could sort of slip it up and under. It still seems unnecessary. Two chops and it's gone and I can fit a few more rifles in mine.

ten years ago I bought a safe and it had a S&G combo. It came with the tool and instructions to change the combo. I moved and left the safe. I bought the same exact safe 5 years later and not only did it come with no key, it said "call a locksmith". They must have had trouble with people DIYing it.
