About Vara

Our mission is to help responsible gun owners better protect their families and homes.

The Team

The Team

Vara is made up of a small team of engineers, manufacturing/production technicians, and marketing & sales professionals.

We work together closely to ensure that every Reach and RACT is built, tested, and shipped with the highest standard, taking pride in knowing that each product will further improve the world of firearm safety.

Over the last 8 years, we have designed and launched two product lines, which was made possible through our teams perseverance and dedication to making the products you can trust.

How it started

How it started

Our CEO and co-founder, Timmy Oh, saw a gap in the market for a gun safe that was both secure and accessible. He believed having to choose between being safe and being ready wasn't a compromise people should have to make.

The Reach handgun safe and RACT biometric long gun safe were created as a solution to that compromise, but we knew bridging the gap between firearm security and technology was going to be complicated.

So, that's why the Vara team started with highly skilled engineers who had a passion for firearms and self-protection.
