Barska set up in Pomona, California in 1994 as a sport optics house: riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, telescopes, night vision. The optics stayed, but security became the second pillar, and the safes are now what most buyers meet first. The catalogue holds biometric pistol boxes, keypad wall and floor safes, rifle cabinets, key cabinets and portable lock boxes, with many models listed as California DOJ approved firearm safety devices.
Fingerprint units such as the AX11224 store up to 120 prints and open in a couple of seconds, which is the point of a bedside box. Pricing sits well under the established gun safe names, and that is where the compromises live: steel is thin on the cheapest boxes, fire protection is absent on most, and the warranty usually runs one year. Good choice for quick access storage, wrong choice as a long term vault.
