When I wandered in to visit Rob Leahy at 
I'm usually the last to figure out why something new is useful and that was the case when the Rapid Rack arrived from Hornady. Made out of aluminum and resembling a cartridge case with a handle covered in red plastic it's advertised as a loaded chamber indicator as well as a “charge assist device” for when you might wish to keep an AR style rifle on standby with a loaded magazine and an empty chamber. I don't shoot on a range where chamber flags are required and I'm pretty sure I know how to rack a round into the chamber of an AR carbine so I tossed the Rapid 
rack on the workbench and forgot about it while I went on to other pressing matters. When I finally got around to trying it I dragged my house carbine out of the safe, set it up with the Ready Rack then grasped the handle and gave it a sharp tug. Holy frijoles! This thing really works! When you tug briskly on the handle the bolt is pulled to the rear, the Ready Rack falls away and the bolt runs forward to chamber a round from the magazine. It's so quick and easy even I can do it, and, as is usually the case, it left me wondering why I hadn't thought of this myself.
Firearms Safety Rule #5 is: Maintain control of your firearm. This means if your gun isn't on your person and in your control it needs to be locked up. While there are a number of gun safe and lockbox options on the market, I think what Hornady has done with their new Rapid Safe 2700 is unique in the way it combines convenience with security. Appearing to be well built and, I assume, very secure (no, I didn't beat and drill on it so I could report how long it takes to break into) the Rapid Safe is big enough to secure a full size pistol like a Beretta 92, Glock 17 or 1911 with room for a spare magazine. There's also plenty of room to store things like jewelry, watches, wallets and the like along with a medium or small size pistol. The safe can be mounted to a floor, wall or shelf and comes with a heavy-duty cable so it can be fastened to something solid and un-moveable.
