I've narrowed it down to the FAS1 and the V-Line TopDraw. Both have simplex locks, both seem secure enough for my needs. Mounting it to the bedframe will likely be the deciding factor:
a) For the FAS1, I would drill holes into the wood frame (and the safe) to bolt it onto the outside of the frame (near the headboard, of course). Open the lid and the 1911 pops up, ready to go. On the minus side, the box is readily visible upon entering the room (if guests come over, there is often a desire to see the view from the deck off the master bedroom).
b) For the V-Line, I would mount it to a board secured to the bottom of the frame. Open the lid and slide out the drawer and the 1911 is there, ready to go. With the bedding, it would be out of sight from any visitors.
