Just pickup a DEFCON 1 Ultra alarm from Targus. They're designed for laptop computers, but you can easily cut a locking slot into a gear bag or even your grips.

The cable lock motion sensitivity can be adjusted, and the alarm is rediculously loud, on par with a smoke detector.

Works very well threading the cable lock through your trigger guard and securing to a storage bin or gear bag.

I used one for three years when I traveled for work. It never failed me. I had zero theft incidents with either two laptops or my DLP projector. All I had to do was publicly demonstrate how the alarm worked, and people wouldn't come within 25 feet of my stuff.

The ghetto mag seems safe, but I dunno about the second one...the thieves would have a tough decision: Is the Z-Grip worth the countless hours it would take to reach the center of the 'mag and extracate the frame for sale on eBay? Personally, I think an interesting tactic would be to rig up a small capacitor on the inside of a metal case...and a 9v battery or something (put the case on rubber buttons to keep it from discharging onto the table). If the voltage were high enough, anyone picking it up would emit a loud noise, and alert those around him to a suspicious occurence.

Or, even better, just take your mag with you to the can. And if you want really good, really positive security, get a good-sized dog, like a greyhound or a German shepard. Then buy/rig together a harness. When you need it to be kept safe, put the gun onto the harness and tell your well-trained attack dog to follow you (or sit someplace safe).

There seems to be a number of threads on this topic. We are thinking about installing surveillance cameras in the staging area at PBX Battlezone to help protect our customers. How effective a method do you think this is?

Although ultimately it is the responsibility of the individual to protect his/her own property, do you have any other suggestions for field owners to help their customers by detering theft?

Is it possible to get some lockers? People could bring their own locks or you could rent them out for the day. That might help.

...or YOU CAN BE SMART AND NOT CHEAP...and by a gun case like me...



(its ironic that Snyper posted this thread)...he leaves his x-mag on his floor where i stepped on itabout 5 times....

My method has been pretty effective:

I treat all my personal property like crap. My gun's got a ton of cosmetic damage and one of the grip screws is stripped. It's a cocker that would cost about $700 new, but now it wouldn't even be worth stealing.

It'll never resale, but I still love it. I'll burn the thing before I ever try and resale it...

I just always make sure my equipment is within sight, and range of my .45. Amazing, noone touches it. That and my teammate is a big construction worker LOL. Besides, I have never seen an issue wehre I play

This is something we considered initially except that we would then lose a lot of space in the staging area. That is not to say we have completely given up on this idea, only that we are re-evaluating how we could possibly do it. But your asking tells me that that would make people feel safer about their equipment. Thanks.

Hey! YOU STEPPED ON IT?!?!?! GRRR!

well...it was in my room so the person would first have to break into my house in order to get to my room...but i think a robber would be a little more interested in other things when he's robbing a house.

You guys should make a back area that is near the bathrooms and stuff that you can safely put your gun behind that only employees can get to. Pretty much put a kids gun on a rack while he goes to the bathroom and when he gets back, give him his gun back.

I like this idea.^

[Rather]

I like that gun rack in the back idea too... also makes sure the gun doesnt get red flagged (watch seinfeild...).


As for stealing the gun for the z-grip alone....if you can see the z-grip behing all that fanken-snaggle hosing and cords... then if it the z-grip was un touched (doubtful cause it looks like a hole was tappered into it) then your elft with alot of other incriminating evidence unless someone (out of their mind) actually buys the left overs. No offence to who made it like that (if it is still that way, if you changed it then it was very hideous indeed).
