What To Look For In A Pistol Display Stand

By Claudette Lambert


A pistol display stand is both an aesthetic and a practical unit for housing a gun. Normally they are able to house several weapons, although in some cases they showcase just a single gun. The weapons are often mounted on posts that are adjustable. Security is very important and any unit should have the express purpose of deterring people from being able to remove the gun.

Handgun stands are used to present many different weapons and can be used at trade events, fairs and in retail outlets. Individuals that collect guns can also use these at home to show off their collections.

Over the years, dealers haven't always been so concerned about securing their weapons. In the past they have kept guns on counter tops and on shelves, making them easy to pick up and steal. Eventually they understood that they were selling a valuable product and took steps to make sure it they were better presented and more secure.

Guns can also displayed in holding trays. These were often designed to store two or more weapons, usually with the barrel of the guns resting parallel to each other. This is a method which saves space.

The advent of display stands meant that dealers had the potential to store many more weapons than they were previously able to. And they could also store a variety of different-sized firearms together in the same unit. These stands usually have slots which support the trigger mechanism. In the past these displays were not very secure. Oftentimes all the thief or thieves had to do was break glass and steal the gun or just pick up the display case and make off with it.

The base of an upright unit has to be large enough to support the weight of either one or several guns. Convention dictates that they are made from either wood, plastic or from metal and are in the shape of a rectangle. Ideally, a unit would be adjustable, so that once a weapon has been sold, firearms of different dimensions can be displayed in their place.

What should not be overlooked is the crucial matter of housing the weapon. The display should be able to hold the barrel in place in an upright position without it being able to topple over over. Securing the gun in a way that deters people from trying to remove it from the unit is a must too. Some will add extra security to the unit, such as cables that secure the stand to a wall or a counter, thus deterring thieves from simply walking into an establishment, removing the display, and waling away with unit and guns.

The many features of a pistol display stand are designed with safety in mind. Although price is an obvious factor, the other important things to consider are whether the unit is secure from children and thieves. Another factor could be the material they are made from. When choosing the material the choice could come down to something as simple as the decor of the room in which the display is going to be located.
