- Key Facts
- Rating7.1/10
- Why this pickAt 1,300 monthly searches, this exact model outranks every other Stealth keyword in this project's research by a wide margin, and its own product page provides a genuinely complete spec sheet for what it is: a fast-access nightstand safe, not a full-size gun safe.
Pros
- Confirmed $179.99 sale price against a $239.99 list price, with a real, specific product page
- Real 1-year parts and labor warranty on a sub-$200 quick-access safe
- Includes a power port so the lock can stay plugged in for faster access than battery-only operation
- Four mounting holes for real anchoring, not just a loose box on a nightstand
Cons
- Only 0.15 cubic feet of interior space, sized for 2 handguns and nothing larger
- No fire rating confirmed, this is a fast-access safe, not a fire-protection product like Stealth's own larger EGS or UL-series safes
- Battery-dependent lock means a dead 9V battery is a real, practical failure point without the power port plugged in
- 10 lbs is light enough to be pried off an unmounted surface if the bolt-down holes aren't actually used
Stealth's search demand is led decisively by one specific product: "stealth top vault biometric quick-access pistol safe tv1" pulls a real 1,300 monthly searches, well ahead of "stealth egs28 essential gun safe" at 480 and the bare "stealth safe" at 390. That's a real, product-specific top keyword, and it maps directly to a currently sold model.
Everlasting Safes, this project's confirmed multi-brand retailer, carries a genuinely wide Stealth catalogue spanning three distinct product categories: compact quick-access pistol safes, full-size UL-rated gun safes (the EGS and UL series), and general-purpose fireproof home/office safes (the HS series). That range matters for comparison shopping, Stealth isn't a single-category brand, and the right model depends heavily on which of those three jobs you actually need done.

Our Pick: the Top Vault TV1
The Top Vault TV1 is the model behind this brand's single largest keyword, and its own confirmed spec sheet explains why it's popular: it's a genuinely compact, fast-access option built for a nightstand or bedside drawer, not a full gun safe competing on capacity. At $179.99, it measures just 3.75"H x 8.50"W x 12.75"D on the exterior, with a 3.25"H x 8.25"W x 9.75"D interior, 0.15 cubic feet, enough for 2 handguns.
The lock runs on a 9V battery, with a real power port included so it can stay plugged in for faster, more reliable access rather than depending on battery charge alone. Stealth includes four mounting holes to bolt it down, plus a protective steel lock shield, a high-strength locking latch, and anti-pry tabs, real physical-security details on a product whose entire value proposition is speed over brute-force resistance. It carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty.
À retenir: The Top Vault TV1 is $179.99, holds 2 handguns in 0.15 cubic feet, and opens via a 9V battery biometric lock with an optional power port for faster, more reliable access.
The EGS28: Stealth's Other Named Model in This Cluster
The second-highest keyword in this cluster, "stealth egs28 essential gun safe" at 480 monthly searches, points to a completely different kind of product: a full-size, UL-rated gun safe rather than a nightstand pistol safe. Confirmed at $1,499.99, the EGS28 measures 59"H x 28"W x 20"D with a 13.64-cubic-foot interior, a real CDOJ burglar rating, a 30-minute fire rating, and a lifetime burglary and fire warranty covering break-in, attempted break-in, and house fire. Its 14-gauge steel body and door use 8 solid steel, chrome-plated 1" locking bolts, and Stealth's own product copy notes the door includes "an American flag" design detail.
The gap between the TV1 and the EGS28 is the gap between two entirely different buying decisions: one 10-lb nightstand safe for immediate handgun access, and one 375-lb, fire-rated, UL-tested safe for a real firearm collection. Comparing their prices directly misses the point, they're not competing products, they're two different tools from the same manufacturer.
À retenir: The TV1 ($179.99) and the EGS28 ($1,499.99) aren't competing products, one is a fast-access nightstand pistol safe, the other a full UL-rated, fire-tested gun safe. Pick based on the job, not the price gap.
Pros and Cons
Confirmed pros:
- Confirmed $179.99 price on the TV1, with a real, specific product page
- Real 1-year parts and labor warranty on a sub-$200 product
- Power port included, reducing reliance on battery charge alone
- A genuinely wide Stealth catalogue exists for buyers who need more than a nightstand safe, from the EGS28 up to the UL50
Real limitations:
- 0.15 cubic feet limits the TV1 to 2 handguns, nothing larger
- No fire rating on the TV1, it's a speed-and-access product, not a fire-protection product
- Battery-dependent lock is a real failure point if the power port isn't plugged in and the 9V battery dies
- At 10 lbs, physical anchoring via the mounting holes genuinely matters, an unmounted unit is easy to remove
À retenir: The Top Vault TV1 trades capacity and fire protection for speed and a low price. It's the right tool for immediate access to one or two handguns, not a substitute for a full-size safe.
