Features Of A Pistol Display Stand

By Claudette Lambert


The pistol display stand is a practical, aesthetic unit for storing weapons. They allow the user to store many different types, though some do allow for the showcasing of one gun on its own. Oftentimes, these are mounted on adjustable posts. Understandably, security is of the utmost importance as a primary objective of the case is to stop people stealing the product.

The handgun display unit is specifically suitable for showcasing at events, including exhibitions and fairs. The invention was also designed to be used by individuals in the home as well as by dealers and collectors, either at gun shows or in retail stores.

Over the years, dealers haven't always been so concerned about securing their weapons. In the past they have kept guns on counter tops and on shelves, making them easy to pick up and steal. Eventually they understood that they were selling a valuable product and took steps to make sure it they were better presented and more secure.

Weapons have in the past had been displayed by dealers in gun holding trays, which were created to house and retain several guns, with particular emphasis on pistols and revolvers. These trays were designed to store two guns, which were stored in such a position that the barrels were sitting opposite each other, one gun the right way round and the other upside down, to save space.

In the past, Storage for more than two weapons was catered for by a unit with slots that supported several handguns and allowed the product to lean sideways. None of the displays were usually that secure though, meaning they didn't really protect the product against theft. Many of the more valuable guns nowadays are housed behind counters with modern designs and more safety features, such as toughened glass and alarms.

The base of an upright unit has to be large enough to support the weight of either one or several guns. Convention dictates that they are made from either wood, plastic or from metal and are in the shape of a rectangle. Ideally, a unit would be adjustable, so that once a weapon has been sold, firearms of different dimensions can be displayed in their place.

Security is one of the greatest concerns when it comes to storing firearms. A stand should clamp the barrel of a firearm in place, making sure it is elevated and cannot topple over. It needs to secure the weapon in such a manner as to provide a deterrent to theft and to anyone wishing to play around with it. What should not be forgotten is that the stand itself needs to be secure. For added security, some will use a cable to hold the display in place, meaning it is attached to a counter or wall by the cable and cannot be moved. That way people can't just walk in and take the stand with the guns still inside.

When choosing a pistol display stand, there are many things to consider, things that go far beyond the price of the unit itself. Those after a sturdy material might choose metal, whereas for aesthetics they could go for wood instead. Then there are the security features of the unit, which may be of even more importance to others. Asking the dealer detailed questions about a stand is probably the best way to go about making a purchasing decision.
