When it comes to buying a gun safe, one of the biggest misunderstandings is how many guns a safe can actually hold. Most people take the number on the label at face value — 24 guns, 36 guns, maybe even 50. But the truth is, those numbers are often exaggerated. Safe manufacturers and big box stores use creative marketing to make their products sound bigger and better, even though the safes themselves haven’t changed in size.The racks inside may have more cutouts, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to fit all your rifles, scopes, and accessories comfortably. In reality, most safes hold about half of their advertised capacity once you factor in optics, shelves, and realistic gun spacing. At NW Safe, we see this misunderstanding every day — and it’s one of the main reasons customers end up upgrading to a larger safe. In this post, we’ll break down how gun capacity is calculated, what affects real storage space, and what you can do to get the most out of your safe.
