Mesa MPS-1 Handgun & Pistol Safe

California DOJ-listed pistol vault: silent, quick bedside access

Built for the handgun owner who wants fast, quiet bedside access, the Mesa MPS Series MPS-1 is a compact pistol safe that is California DOJ compliant for firearm storage. Imported and built from all-steel construction with a 1/4-inch door and 12-gauge body, it pairs a silent backlit electronic keypad with concealed override keys so you can reach one handgun and two magazines in seconds.

At just 15 pounds with exterior dimensions of 3.38 inches high by 12.25 inches wide by 10.88 inches deep, the MPS-1 tucks into a nightstand drawer, closet shelf, or desk. The 2.25-inch by 9.69-inch by 6.38-inch foam-lined interior (0.08 cubic feet) holds a single pistol and two magazines, while two pre-drilled anchor holes let you bolt it down out of sight.

Engineering & Security

• ✓1/4-inch steel door: The thick door plate resists prying and casual tampering, the main defense against children and opportunistic access on a compact handgun safe.
• ✓12-gauge steel body: All-steel welded construction gives the small footprint rigidity and helps anchor the contents securely when bolted down.
• ✓Two pre-drilled anchor holes: Included anchor kit lets you fasten the safe to a drawer, shelf, or floor so it cannot simply be carried off.
• ✓California DOJ compliant: Listed for firearm safe storage under California Department of Justice standards; it is not burglary-rated or fire-rated by design.

Quick Access & Daily Use

• ✓Silent backlit keypad: Battery-operated electronic lock enters codes without beeps and lights the keypad for use in the dark.
• ✓Concealed override keys: Backup keys grant entry if you forget the code or the 9V battery dies, with no exposed keyway.
• ✓Spring-loaded door: Holds one pistol and two magazines in a high-density foam lining; the door pops open for fast retrieval.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The MPS-1 suits the handgun owner who needs a low-cost, California DOJ-compliant safe for one pistol kept within reach at the nightstand, desk, or closet. At 3.38 inches high by 12.25 inches wide by 10.88 inches deep and 15 pounds, it installs almost anywhere and anchors down with the included kit.

Because it is not burglary- or fire-rated, buyers wanting protection for documents, valuables, or longer guns should step up to a larger rated safe. For a single-handgun quick-access vault at this price, the MPS-1 covers the essentials.
