UL only certifies the fire rating and no gun safe has ever passed the test as it includes a 30 foot drop after the fire and the way gun safes are constructed does not allow them to survive. It claims to have UL rated fireboard however this is not a real thing so I’m not even sure why they are claiming that. When it comes to fire, the Winchester Legacy 44 gun safe is fire rated for 2.5 hours at 1400 degrees. Overall, this is a good quality gun safe for valuables totaling under $50,000. The real differences start when you have material like concrete in the walls and door. In my opinion, there isn’t a huge difference between a 10 gauge steel body and 1/4″ plate door compared to a 12 gauge door and body. While this is not as strong as higher end safes like the American Security BFX gun safes, it does retain the same insurance certification. All of these security features are more than the basic standard and minimum to achieve the UL RSC rating. Behind the lock are both a hardplate and relocker that protect against drilling attacks and the sixteen 2″ solid steel locking bolts including top and bottom, keep the door secure during a saw attack. The Winchester Legacy 44 gun safe is UL RSC Burglary Rated for security and features a thicker 10 gauge steel door and body. There is no key override or Solenoid, it is 10 out of 10 on the lock. It operates smoothly and is very long lasting. It is one of three electronic lock brands I recommend with the other two being NL and SecuRam. This is UL Rated, an excellent quality lock that is very reliable and made by the oldest lock company in the world. Lockįirst and always most important of any gun safe is its lock and the Winchester Legacy 44 gun safe features the S&G electronic lock. In this review, I will help you understand just what makes the Legacy 44 such a great gun safe.
Winchester gun safe upgrade#
The Winchester Legacy 44 Gun Safe is a nice upgrade from the Ranger series with 2″ locking bolts, the S&G electronic lock and more than double the fire protection. While I’m no fan of the TS gun safes, starting with the Ranger, these imported gun safes are actually pretty good.

They sell nearly exclusively on Tractor Supply with the TS models making up the bulk of their sales. Worth Texas but has since gone back to fully importing all of their products from China. Winchester at one point was making nearly all of their gun safes in Ft.
