In practice, the StopBox Pro excels where traditional lockboxes often fail: speed. Because there is no keypad to punch or scanner to align your fingerprint with, you can access your sidearm in a fluid motion. It is a retention device, meaning its primary goal is to prevent immediate, unauthorized access while maintaining your ability to deploy quickly. For those who want extra peace of mind, you can pair it with a Security Cable to anchor it to a fixed point.
Value for the Price
At $149.99, the StopBox Pro represents a high value for the peace of mind it provides. If you are looking to save or equip multiple rooms, Buckeye Hunter Hub offers the StopBox Pro/Pro BOGO for $199.99, which is a fantastic deal. If you need a mix of sizes, there is also the StopBox Pro/Compact BOGO for $209.00.
