We first ran across GOSAFE’s lockable magazines at SHOT earlier this year. GOSAFE makes two products, a magazine and a “mobile safe.” The GOSAFE Mobile Mag is a 10-round lockable magazine for GLOCK 17, 19 and 34 pistols (more models to come in the future). The Mobile Safe looks like the Mobile Mag, but is a solid piece of plastic for the same guns that doesn’t load rounds, but locks and prevents a pistol from being used.
We’ve used both and they work as advertised. They’re a good way to keep and handgun out and available but safely locked if you have children in the house. Now the GOSAFE Mobile Mag and Mobile Safe are available for sale. Here’s their press release . . .
There is no shortage of reasons why millions of Americans choose to exercise their right to gun ownership. Whether it is for the protection of life and property, for sport or even collecting, all gun owners are well acquainted with the same realities: an inaccessible firearm is the same as no firearm and storage-solution needs vary from situation to situation.
So how is a responsible gun owner to ensure their firearm is secure from unauthorized use while also keeping it accessible?
âMy adult life has been spent serving and protecting others as a United States Marine, a private security contractor and a law enforcement professional. Through this I learned that the right to gun ownership is the only thing that ensures all of our other rights can exist,â said GOSAFE co-founder Mark âOzâ Geist. âBut my law enforcement career also showed me some sobering realities: unauthorized gun use is a common denominator in firearm-related accidents, suicides and crimes.â
Geist spent many years in search of a solution that would preserve a gun ownerâs right to quick, authorized access while lessening the opportunities for unauthorized access. Recognizing there is never a one-size-fits-all solution for securing firearms, Geist quickly realized the GOSAFE solution would be ideal for a majority of gun owners and firearm carriers, from parents to law enforcement professionals.
GOSAFEâs unique mobile solution was designed by leading firearms experts, including former law enforcement and military professionals, to provide real-world security solutions for all gun owners, which according to the 2021 National Firearms Survey, now represents 81.4 million Americans. GOSAFE reimagines firearms security by putting the safe inside the firearm rather than the firearm inside a safe. Both the Mobile Safe and Mobile Mag products fit safely and securely inside the firearm, in the same manner as OEM magazines, accessible only via a unique-to-user key. Once the firearm is locked in GOSAFE mode, there is no possibility of an unauthorized user intentionally or accidentally gaining access. The patented technology allows gun owners and professionals to go from loaded and ready to locked and safe whenever and wherever they are.
The GOSAFE line includes the Mobile Safe (MSRP $79.99) and the Mobile Mag (MSRP $99.99). The Mobile Safe is a non-loadable magazine-styled mobile safe that travels inside the firearm, providing speed and access and eliminates the need for cable and trigger locks. It prevents unauthorized and unintended firearm use by blocking the trigger and securely locking the slide closed. Users can easily switch from GOSAFE to their OEM mag in seconds.
The Mobile Mag is a fully functioning magazine combining mobility and complete security with fast access that cannot be removed from the firearm when locked. Going from ready-to-fire to locked in a matter of seconds, when locked, it blocks the trigger to prevent unintended firing even with a round in the chamber.
GOSAFE is available to purchase at gosafenow.com and will be arriving soon in retail locations around the country and online.
Every 15 minutes, an unsecured firearm is stolen from a vehicle or residence. In addition to lessening the instances of accidents and crime, using GOSAFE secure-storage solutions to stop the unauthorized use of firearms will also reduce the number of suicide-by-firearm deaths that occur each year. Every 22 minutes, a person commits suicide by firearm, accounting for three of every five firearm deaths and inflicting long-lasting pain and suffering on the family and friends left behind. The increase in suicides among returning combat veterans has made this an area of particular emphasis for Geist and the GOSAFE team.
âIn this next chapter of my life, Iâm going to continue to protect people by providing a secure storage solution for gun owners, one that preserves access and autonomy for the gun owner while also mitigating the likelihood of misuse,â Geist said. âThe GOSAFE solution for securing firearms is one whose time has come and one that will benefit all Americans, whether or not they choose to exercise their right to own firearms.â

Hold up mr criminal, i lost the key to my gunmobile doo dad
Mr attacker, just give me a second while I pull my key from my pocket and unlock my magazine so I can shoot you.
So many reasons to just say no.
Might be a good reason for it somewhere and while I cannot think of it it will probably have some modest level of commercial success in a niche use case.
If somebody steals your gun they have all the time in the world to defeat the lock.
If it’s mine I assume I have the key so suicide prevention is a no-go.
Maybe if you only have the one pistol so you don’t need a large safe but you still have stupid kids in the house this along with an out of sight hiding place could be a more secure option than those shitty lunchbox “safes” people often buy.
That’s the best I can come up with.
Good enough for states without safe storage laws for homes or cars (pending legal challenge of course). Still would see a locked case being preferred so maybe cost (probably not)
You nailed it Shire-man. NOTHING to add…
Another solution searching for a problem.
Not a chance.
Seems like a great product for someone who wants it- I wish GOSAFE good luck in their endeavor.
FWIW…If you reside around unauthorized personnel or have people coming by to visit, etc. the product could help save dealing with an ER, detectives, lawyers, etc. The first firearm I ever touched was my uncle’s .38 he kept loaded in a nightstand, I was 4. Adults wondering where I went busted me.
Fudds gonna Fudd.
10 rounds my ass…
Only made for GLOCKs?
Racist!
“Prevents unauthorized use while maintaining complete mobility and fast access.”
Fast access, my ass.
Motion 1 – Grab key and unlock.
Motion 2 – Grab magazine and insert into gun.
Motion 3 – Chamber the firearm… đ
Keeping a firearm without a round in the chamber is bad enough. This buttlock is Fudd Lore of Biblical proportions.
If you have a gun in your night stand, you could leave it locked when you are away and then unlocked and loaded when you got to bed. At least as good as one of those easily defeated (and massively overpriced) biometric safes. That is plenty fast for me, that is if I owned a Glock.
I suppose, still seems janky overall… đ
Might be good for some, just not me. I do not own any Glocks.
From the mfr’s press release shown above:
“There is no shortage of reasons why millions of Americans choose to exercise their right to gun ownership. Whether it is for the protection of life and property, for sport or even collecting,…”
No mention of the 2A’s explicit purpose for guns in the first place…protecting our liberty and holding Government at bay. If a so-called gun industry proponent can’t even have the ballz to touch the politically charged rail that’s at the core of the gun control industry’s agenda, why should I listen to their marketing?
Are Your Guns Safe With Liberty Safe? Turns out they gave back door entry codes to the FBI, the FBI had a warrant for the individual but this thing about Liberty giving out the code without a warrant or subpoena served on their company is a question that needs to be answered.
Liberty says it received and verified the warrant before releasing the code. Apparently master codes exist for all manufacturers of digital lock safes so that customers who have an issue with the lock or forgot their combination do not need to hire a locksmith to crack the safe–and then pay thousands for its replacement. If you don’t like it, then get one with an old fashioned manual dial. And in any event, if the cops have a warrant, they are going to get in, whether with the code or by force.
did liberty have THEIR name on the warrant or did they go 100% pussy and cave in?
I bet they went PUSSY mode when the FBI/dnc brown shirts called
Mine is a hefty old-school model passed down from my late grandaddy. Heavy manual tumbler, no digital *anything*.
You want in my safe? Better bring your blowtorch and digging bar.
Oh, you have to find it first. My possessions are distributed among a few addresses for redundancy.
Banks, credit card compsnies, internet providers, and cellphone companies (most of them prior to Jan..6th anyway) fought to protect clientâs data but here Liberty Unsafe made NO effort, NO challenge, they caved immediately, didnât even have their attorneys make a token effort, thatâs a betrayal of their customers and disgrace, even Left-wing Apple defied the Feds after the two muslims committed the massacre in San Bernardino refusing to unlock the perpâs cellphones.
Liberty (Un)Safe deserves to get the âBud Light treatmentâ and their newest statement revising company.policy (made late Wednesday) is an insult.
Liberty DOES NOT MAKE SAFES they make “security containers” look at the tag /sticker right on the DOOR FRAME a REAL safe has a TL rating!
Hell even the banks, credit card compsnies, internet providers, and cellphone companies (most of them prior to Jan..6th anyway) fought to protect client’s data but here Liberty Unsafe made NO effort, NO challenge, they caved immediately, didn’t even have their attorneys make a token effort, that’s a betrayal of their customers and damn disgrace, hell even Left-wing Apple defied the Feds after the two muslims committed the massacre in San Bernardino refusing to unlock the perp’s cellphones.
Liberty (Un)Safe deserves to get the “Bud Light treatment” and their newest statement revising company.policy (made late Wednesday) is an.insult.
Noted security expert comments on the Liberty safe fiasco :
If he hasn’t already, I can’t wait for lockpicking lawyer to defeat this with two doritos and a paperclip
if you’re trying to keep guns out of the hands of kids, use safe or even gun cabinet with a good lock…
I’m going to give this an A for effort. But I have a digital combo safe that’s faster and more secure.
Ok, this gets a couple more points than that biometric pistol (although it wouldn’t take much to beat that thing), but still not enough for me to be interested.
I also wondered whether they had it evaluated by the lock picker…likely not or there would be a blurb about it.
These two solutions appear to be as good as any small gunsafe solution.
We all know the saying, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” If you do NOT use any kind of gun lock or safe, you get the benefit of instantaneous access at the expense of zero security for unauthorized users. Or you can get some security for unauthorized users at the expense of no longer having immediate access. Weigh the pros-and-cons for your situation and then pick your poison.
I’ve said before that there is NO ‘security’ system that cannot be defeated. How many military armories have been broken into, in spite of all of the locks and alarms in place?
If someone wants such a device, it is their choice, same applies to ‘smart guns’ etc. ad infinitum.
Just more useless crap, an invention for the sake of “invention” nothing more. And “suicides” ….. really “suicides”? I suppose his next invention will be something to prevent individuals intent on “offing” themselves from turning on a gas stove, intentionally ramming a vehicle into a tree, overdosing on illegal/legal drugs, jumping off a tall building/bridge/highway overpass, or standing in the path of an oncoming train. Of course he won’t address those manners employed by those intent on entering the after-life. Anyone devoted to killing themselves will get it done one way or another.
