SIG Sauer has worked together with VaultTek to create two new portable handgun safes designed around contemporary pistols called the SIG Sauer Lifepod Portable Handgun Safe.
Both of these Vaultek Lifepod 1.0 portable safes are externally identical, the primary difference being that one has a biometric lock while the other does not. Both still use an electronic locking mechanism that is powered via a 9-volt alkaline battery. Vaultek and SIG Sauer designed these locking containers for handgun users who lead active lifestyles and need to find a way to secure their firearms when not in use. The exterior reflects this with its modern styling and design that includes a centrally located emblazoned SIG Sauer logo. The Lifepod 1.0 not only meets TSA locking requirements for airline travel, but it can accommodate a single handgun measuring up to 7¾ inches in length (so most ultra compacts, standard compacts and service sized pistols will fit. Besides the main compartment that can accommodate this handgun, a mesh organizer for documents or other miscellaneous items is also built into the Lifepod 1.0.
