I need to get one myself.
I don't care if it takes 15 mins to open.
I support the idea that I need to open it on the FIRST try in the dark.

what safe meets those requirements, and still provides SOME security?

Have you considered a safe with an illuminated keypad? Thats what our safe on our sleep level has. Plus we have the types that open with our finger prints for both hand guns and long guns. Throughout the main level we have various items such as clock, books and a secret compartment in the mantel in case of home invasions. The big cabella safes are in the basement and would take longer to access. We used to have handguns spaced about but with the babys arrival we changed all that. Plus the dog would slow them down long enough for us to retrieve a weapon, and make a sandwich and check our messages lol.

My bedside pistol safe has a Simplex lock. I can open it by touch on the first try, every time.

The main question is, do you prefer electronic locks or purely mechanical locks?

If you prefer mechanical, then the Vline Brute meets those requirements for a handgun. You can also get the job done with a normal Vline box, or an Amsec box, etc.
