A. Made in left- and right-handed variants, Bluestone Safety Products’ Under the Desk Holster is made of heavy-duty, woven elastic to accommodate myriad sizes of compact to full-size handguns and revolvers. It is stitched to a thick-rubber mounting plate with stout nylon thread for enhanced strength to accommodate heavy handguns and pistols without fear of sagging or tearing over time. Metal-lined eyelets along the mounting plate allow for easy anchoring of the holster to virtually any surface, including the underside of desks, inside closets or kitchen cabinets and behind doors and on walls. Mounting hardware is included. MSRP: $22.95; bluestonesafety.com
B. Combining the innocuous appearance of a dictionary with the added portability and security of a lockbox, Bulldog Cases and Vaults’ Deluxe Diversion Book Safe is the perfect size to discreetly stash a small assortment of valuables, such as jewelry, and/or a compact- to mid-size handgun. The steel interior boasts 360 degrees of insurance and a foam-lined interior to prevent damage to contents. A three-wheel combination lock limits access. Colors include blue and tan. MSRP: $39.99; bulldogcases.com
