Got the safe installed. Here's my initial impressions.
The good.
1. Easy to install
2. Secure and made well - very solid unit.
3. Easy instructions.
4. Works well - I've had two scan rejects in 50 attempts. Both times I was able to gain access with a second attempt.
5. Keypad also allows for a coded entry.
6. Backup key for entry if needed. Key hole is well placed so that your kids would never know you could open it with a key.
7. Plenty of room for my gun & ammo.
8. Fast entry. Door is open in 2 seconds.
9. Option to direct wire the charging unit so that no charger is ever needed.
The bad
1. Price - fingerprint option is an expensive addition if paying regular retail.
2. Keys beep when pressed and safe beeps when open with no option to silence them.
3. Door is a little louder than expected when it drops.
Overall,
The fingerprint option is nice, easy to use, and the keypad provides a second method of entry that is a nice backup in an emergency. The safe is secure, easy to use, and I like the wall install. I'd buy the safe again but would probably just get the keyed version depending on the price difference. Well made unit overall that meets my needs. I also would not want a safe that only had a fingerprint entry - I would want a keypad options as well that this safe has.
