Blacksmith SF0103 Review (2026): 3 Rifles + 5 Handgun Slots, One Safe at $219.99
The SF0103 is the combination safe that most hunters actually need. Three long guns covers a hunting rifle, a shotgun, and a spare. Five handgun slots handles the rest. One biometric reader, one footprint, one price — at $219.99 on sale it's the best value per firearm stored in the Blacksmith lineup and the easiest answer for hunters who have both rifles and pistols to secure.
The Case for a Combination Safe
Most hunters end up with a mix: a bolt-action deer rifle, a shotgun for birds or turkey, and at least one or two handguns. The common approach is to buy a long gun cabinet for the rifles and a separate pistol safe for the handguns. That's two separate purchases, two biometric readers to register fingers on, two keys to track, and two units to find wall space for.
The SF0103 puts all of that in one unit at a lower combined price than buying both a 3-gun cabinet and a separate pistol safe. If your collection is 2–3 rifles and 2–5 handguns, the SF0103 is purpose-built for exactly that inventory.
Real-World Performance
Slim Profile for Tighter Spaces
A 3-gun cabinet is meaningfully narrower than a 6-gun cabinet. In a closet, a bedroom corner, or an apartment where floor space is constrained, the SF0103 fits where the SF0106 doesn't. For hunters who don't have a dedicated gun room, the slimmer profile is a practical advantage that the raw capacity comparison between the two models doesn't capture.
Alarm, Mute, and LED Interior
The SF0103 shares the SF0106's smart alarm and mute mode. Smart alarm detects tamper attempts and alerts without permanent sound. Mute mode silences everything for quiet access at 4 a.m. before a hunt. The LED interior light makes identifying which rifle is which in a dark closet practical rather than requiring a separate flashlight.
Handgun Slot Placement
The 5 handgun slots inside the SF0103 share the main compartment with the long guns — they're accessible whenever the safe is open. This is the right setup for most storage scenarios. If you need a handgun that's accessible independently and faster than opening a full rifle safe, pair the SF0103 with an SF0201 pistol safe for the bedside.

Score Breakdown
The SF0103 is the right safe for the majority of hunters: a mix of rifles and handguns, a preference for keeping everything in one place, and no need to pay for capacity they don't use. At $219.99 on sale it's the best value in the Blacksmith lineup by the firearms-per-dollar metric. If 3 long guns covers your collection, the SF0103 is the answer. If you already know you need 4 or more, go straight to the SF0106.
