I've been shopping around for a drawer gunsafe, and found one I like;
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000T24OFG...UTF8&colid=3Q41YHYU2S5UM&coliid=IIXLABY1JWJ3J
I prefer a mechanical lock to an electronic one; no batteries to change, never worrying about being locked out when they go dead, etc.
But, this isn't about the safe itself, per se.
In my youth, when I got my first rifle, I didn't get a gun locker, I got a double-lock key and rotary dial case to store it in. Over time, the rifle developed rust on the bolt handle and end of the barrel. Came off with a little steel wool and re-bluing made everything okay. And, yes, it was cleaned and lubed regularly. After that, I got a locker.
However, it did instill within me an inherent distrust of long-term storage in foam. I haven't seen any reviews indicate issues with this particular safe, but doesn't mean they don't exist. And I wouldn't want my M&P to start getting rust on it from being stored for long stretches in the drawer safe.
