2014 SHOT Show

With over 67,000 attendees, the 2014 SHOT Show was bigger and arguably better than ever before. Vault Pro joined 1600 of the firearm industries elite manufacturers, distributors and industry leaders as an exhibitor at SHOT Show this year. After meeting with hundreds of industry professionals and hearing their plans for the future, believe me when I tell you…”The Firearms Industry is alive and well!”

Vault Pro exhibited three fantastic new custom safes, two with 2” Step Doors, Automatic L.E.D. Lighting & Electrical, Custom Convertible Interiors, Custom Paint by One Way George, One of a kind hand pin-striping & branding by the Legendary Mr. Tom Kelly. We also showed off our new 4-way bolt locking system, our new satin nickel and black chrome handles and previewed our Hand Gun Pro Box.

Vault Pro’s new “Hand Gun Pro Box” (patent pending) was very well received and will be in production for the 2014 model year. For those of you waiting, I am going as fast as our patent attorney can go.  

In the New Products Division we also displayed a glowing Bright Blue Metallic Huntsman Safe with Silver Double Pinstripe & Digital Lock. This safe has been dubbed the ‘Secret Squirrel’ and conceals two hidden floor compartments that are undetectable even with the door wide open.

The ladies were well represented this year. Vault Pro was located right across from Flashbang Holsters who had a nonstop flow of lovely and likely lethal ladies checking out their latest Bra Holsters. Shady Lady Shooting “Gun Cases For Girls” had pink everything on display. Tonya McCoy & Courtney from “Sergeant Molly’s” stopped by and will be setting up a woman’s shooting and apparel shop in Greensboro, North Carolina this year…Good Luck Ladies. Vanessa “TacticalGirl” Swainston was sleek and stunning in all black and ear to ear smile. I saw pink grips, guns, carry cases and pink accessories just about everywhere I looked. 2014 looks like a great year for women in the shooting industry.

Steve Sermersheim from Fort Knox and too many Browning guys to name came by to check out our safes as well as Curt Price from C.E. Safes who came all the way from Florida; Mike harper from California Safe Co.; Gary Kennedy from Kennedy’s Korner Gun Safes in Texas; Joe Greene from US Safe Room in Wilkesboro, North Carolina; Cliff from Cliff’s Guns, Safes & Reloading in Boise Idaho; Ron Godwin at El Cajon Gun Exchange in Southern California, Allen Loree from Defcon Shelters in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Ben Tomb from Protector XT in Pocopson, PA, and too many other like minded individuals trying to keep our loved ones safe and our weapons secure.  I enjoyed meeting with you all and am looking forward to either working with you or competing with you this year.  

I had a blast meeting with Outside Connections, Jim Braaten and his wife at the V-Bar tweet up Monday before the show.  Jim, thanks for everything.

There will be many shows and events during the 2014 year but SHOT Show leads off the year with a very hard to follow act.  Even though I thought my feet would fall off and my voice was lost for a couple of days I am looking forward to a much larger presence at the 2015 SHOT Show.  It too will be “TOO GOOD TO MISS”.

American Made Vault Doors 

I got back to Vault Pro and flipped on the lights late Friday night after a four hour drive from exhibiting at SHOT Show 2014 in Las Vegas. Before me was one bad ass line up of custom vault doors like a line of soldiers standing ready at attention all wearing the Vault Pro name like a badge of honor. These soldiers will be shipped all over the country where they will be stationed and ready to defend untold weapons, personal treasures and individuals from fire, criminal activity and natural disasters.

Starting from the back was a massive Elite Series 2” Step Vault Door standing at 100” in height…it is certainly head and shoulders above the rest; Two custom sized Titan 1” Solid Steel 2” Step System Doors (one black with silver pinstripe the other white with Gold stripes); Two Custom Executive Series 1” Composite Steel Vault Doors both in black for delivery to the same company in North Carolina; Another Elite Series 2” Step Vault Door (Gray & silver pinstripe) with a full ¼” stainless plate in the door for torch resistance; a Professional Series ¼” plate steel door and a super wide in-swing hinged 2” Step System Door sporting a Moss Green finish and Gold pinstripe with matching hardware.

What you can’t see in this photo is the massively oversized 1” Solid Steel 2” Step System Titan Door being built right behind the doors pictured and the stack of steel that will soon be used for our next batch of American Made Vault Doors an Safes.

Looking forward to getting some rest, I swapped the truck for my car and headed home. All the way home I kept thinking about how long I have been working with this particular group here at Vault Pro, I am still amazed and very proud to see what a small group of dedicated and talented individuals can achieve in a week while I am away.

Celebrating Vault Pro 2013

Celebrating Vault Pro 2013

Celebrating our employees at the end of every year is our way of showing them and their families just how much we appreciate them and everything they do for Vault Pro.

2013’s year-end celebration was held at PF Chang’s at the Pike on Shoreline Drive in Long Beach.  We started by meeting over drinks in the lounge and then we pretty much took over the dining room.  Non-stop appetizers led to a huge variety of great food that by tradition was shared by everyone.  We toasted the end of the year and looked forward to the year just around the corner.  Decadent deserts and gourmet coffee’s finished off a fantastic night enjoyed by everyone.

A company is only as good as its employees. We have the best. They are a real team. Thanks to the efforts of our team we created an all-new 4-way bolt locking system, 360 degree rotating locking bolts. We prototyped our newest product the Hand Gun Pro Box which is soon to be released to the public (patent pending).

To the employees of Vault Pro and with all of my respect, appreciation and love I would like to thank all of you and your families for everything you do. I look forward to seeing all of you and working with you every day and I can’t wait to see what we will accomplish in 2014.
