i purchased this item to put in my loft to have a home defense weapon close by, but out of sight. It works great with my existing decor so I did not change the stock photo. No one will notice what it really is. I put my Springfield Armory XDS 9MM inside. It looks like it will fit pistols with barrel lengths up to maybe 4 and a half inches without any issues. The only two issues that I found was that it comes with two-anchors & screws, easy to install but they are both at the top of the frame. It should come with at least three to secure it at the bottom, cause when you try to open it, it will lift up. The magnets weren't as strong as I would like so I brought some stronger magnets as well. As for the screw issue I put a command strip at the bottom and it looks & works as intended
