Biometrics technology is undoubtedly the most secure unique identifier for an individual. Like a snowflake, no two people have the same exact physical characteristics - or in this case, fingerprints.

Biometrics for identification has been a trusted method within law enforcement for many years, and the technology is improving rapidly as it becomes more widely used.

Vara has built one of the fastest and most reliable biometric system in the market. Their key advantage is a smart algorithm that continuously updates a registered fingerprint each time it is used.

(For example: the stored print will quickly adapt to a papercut and will further optimize unlocking speed as it heals.)

We integrate this technology with a state-of-the-art fingerprint sensor. This means our ergonomically designed and one-of-a-kind handgun safe utilizes the security benefits of biometrics while allowing for a quicker draw than a cowboy of the Wild West.

Our fingerprint sensor uses capacitance sensing technology - rather than the commonly used optical sensing technology. This is more secure since it requires an electrical current (naturally generated within our bodies!) to 'read' the ridges and valleys of a print, and cannot be easily recreated or bypassed.

When your fingerprint is registered to your safe, a cluster of points are mapped out and securely stored as a 'user' without needing or keeping an image your actual print.

When you place a finger on the sensor to unlock your safe, the sensor will look for as many points as it needs to confidently accept it as an authorized user.

Up to 10 fingerprints can be registered! This allows plenty of room to add backup fingerprints, or any other authorized users you want to have access to your firearm.

Adding new fingerprints requires the primary user's authorization.

Our fingerprint sensor will read and accept an authorized print in 0.2 seconds!

Reach 2S features a state-of-the-art fingerprint sensor, more tolerant to dry, damp, or oily fingerprints. We have greatly increased the battery life, for a better experience if using Reach in your vehicle. Reach 2S uses an all-metal Security Mount which further protects against prying forces.

We are constantly working to improve our products and services. If you have any suggestions, please contact us to let us know your ideas!

A Reach package comes with a holster insert, specific to your selected handgun model. All supported models are listed on the Reach 2S page, or you can view our full Compatibility Guide.

We only list models once we have been able to physically test the actual handgun with our products ourselves. Other models which are very similar to a listed handgun may have been confirmed to fit securely through research, but we can only 100% guarantee the fit of listed models. Contact us for more information!

Yes! Our holster inserts are interchangeable, and are available for purchase separately if you only have one Reach. If you have two similar models, you may even be able to use the same holster for both handguns! Check out our Holster Compatibility Guide to see what models your holster supports.

Reach is currently not compatible with light or laser attachments (due to the added material in front of the trigger guard). We are working on a version to support weapon-mounted lights! To help us out during development, please complete our survey and join the waitlist!

Yes! Our holster inserts are designed to allow space for red dots. Larger optics mounted closer to the ejection port may interfere, but can be modified to fit.

A truly ergonomic lefty version is unfortunately not available. However, Reach can still be used with your pointer finger as the primary print, as shown in this video!

Reach Tactical is a handgun safe designed for home defense pistols with a light attachment.

Reach Tactical is our first safe to offer both biometric and keypad unlocking options in one! You can choose to use the biometrics (fingerprints) only, the keypad only, or both.

Like always, a key override is built in as a backup for unlocking the mechanism without the use of electricity.

Compatibility for Reach Tactical depends primarily on the model of your light attachment.

Standard Light Holster:

• Streamlight TLR-1 series: HL / HL-X
• Surefire X300 Ultra series: X300U-A / X300U-B

Small Light Adapter:

• Streamlight TLR-7 series: X / X Sub / HL-X
• Surefire XC3

Red dots = yes

Suppressors = yes

Lasers built into the grip = yes

Lasers built into the trigger guard = no

Light/laser combos = no

A truly ergonomic lefty version is coming soon. However, Reach can still be used with your pointer finger as the primary print, as shown in this video!

RACT is our rifle and shotgun safe, designed to secure your long guns for home defense. This locking rail mounted system is modular to accommodate your customized platform.

RACT is available in two versions: Biometric (Fingerprint) or Keypad.

• The biometric-only version uses our tried and trusted biometric technology, also found in our Reach 2S handgun safe.
• The keypad-only version was created due to popular demand from our users with worn-out prints.

Each version is available for two platforms:

• "AR Style" is designed specifically for an AR-style rifle platform. The Trigger Cover allows space for a pistol grip and extended magazine, while blocking the takedown pin.
• "Shotgun & Rifle" is designed for a bolt-action rifle or shotgun platform (without a pistol grip).

You can select the version you need on the RACT page, or contact us for help!

The parts that make a RACT compatible with either the AR platform or shotgun platform are intentionally designed to be interchangeable - in case you want to switch versions without getting an entire second safe. (Similar to how we offer different Holster Inserts for Reach!) If you have the RACT for ARs for example, you would want the Conversion Kit for shotguns.

RACT consists of 3 main parts, secured to the mounting rail: the Locking Unit, Trigger Cover, and Stock Support. The position of each part is designed to be adjustable along the rail, in order to modularly accommodate your setup. Check out our user guide, and supplementary installation videos!
