Vara Safety Reach 2S & RACT Review: Fast Biometric Gun Storage for Home and Vehicle

In this video, Riley Bowman from ConcealedCarry.com takes a detailed look at two biometric gun storage solutions from Vara Safety: the Reach 2S handgun security device and the RACT rifle/shotgun safe. You’ll see how fast the fingerprint unlock really is, how reliable the biometrics are, and what kind of false positives or false negatives we experienced in testing.

Riley breaks down the pros, cons, and real‑world use cases, including bedside storage, vehicle mounting, and setting up a quick‑access carbine next to the bed without sacrificing trigger protection or overall security. We also talk through fitment issues like taller suppressor‑height sights, different pistol models, AR‑style rifles, and why proper mounting and thumb placement on the scanner matter so much for speed and consistency.

If you’ve been skeptical about biometric tech for defensive firearms, this review will help you see what has improved, what still needs work, and whether the Vara Safety Reach 2S or RACT might make sense in your home or vehicle.
