Will the rack accommodate .22 pistols?
The Quick Access and Wall Hugger racks ship with neoprene installed and a red end cap. The bare hanger will accommodate a .22, but both the neoprene and red cap must be removed by the customer to fit .22 caliber pistols. Standard multi-gun racks are designed for .30 caliber and larger. Contact us for special orders or specific fit questions.
How heavy of a firearm will the 1-Gun racks securely hold?
The Wall Hugger and Quick Access 1-Gun racks are all-steel and designed for handguns. They will accommodate most handguns, including larger caliber and longer-barrel models, when properly mounted.
The heavier the handgun, the more important it is that the rack be firmly mounted using appropriate fasteners for your wall or mounting surface.
What fasteners should I use?
Your Armory Racks® 1-Gun rack must be securely mounted to support the weight of your firearm. The strength of the steel hanger depends on equally strong mounting hardware.
Different surfaces require different fasteners (for example, wood, drywall, metal, or concrete). If you are unsure which fasteners to use, consult your local building supply or hardware store and explain your wall type and load requirements.
Can I mount the Armory Racks® 1-Gun racks inside my safe?
Yes, but use care when choosing a mounting location. Many safes are lined with fireboard, which is effective for fire resistance but does not provide a strong mounting surface. Always ensure you are fastening into a solid, load-bearing part of the safe (for example, steel structure or reinforced backing) and use appropriate fasteners.
What is the size of the mounting holes for the 1-Gun racks?
Both the Wall Hugger and Quick Access 1-Gun racks have two mounting holes sized for 1/4-inch diameter fasteners.
What length screws should I buy for drywall if I position the magnet over a wood stud?
Drywall is typically 1/2-inch to 5/8-inch thick. To penetrate the wood stud at least 3/8-inch, use 1 1/4-inch countersunk wood screws rated for the intended load.
Always confirm stud location and use appropriate hardware for your wall construction.
