NRA Women readers will recall that the Headrest Safe won an NRA Golden Bullseye Award for Accessory of the Year in 2024. We’ve been extolling the virtues of this unique and secure way to stow a firearm in your vehicle while traveling or encountering a situation when you are not permitted to bring your pistol with you inside to your destination.

Now The Headrest Safe Company has announced the new Compact Headrest Safe, which is a great option for those looking for a smaller profile than previous Vulcan or Slide models. With a symmetrical profile, this model works great in sedans and luxury vehicles. The Compact comes with a hotel style lock in which a simple keypad entry opens and closes the safe door, keeping your valuables safe while you are not in your vehicle. Even with the smaller profile, the Compact still accommodates a full-size pistol.

“When it comes to carrying your valuables or firearms in your vehicle, most people think they have to choose between safety and convenience,” said Louis Tuck, COO/CFO, The Headrest Safe Company LLC. “With The Headrest Safe™ products, you can have the best of both worlds: peace of mind that it’s secure plus easy access.”

The Headrest Safe vehicle is the first “hidden in plain sight” vehicle storage security system. You can now take your firearm, cash, medications and more in your vehicle and relax knowing it will stay out of the hands of kids, valets or intruders. With three ways to open your safe (thumbprint, key and code), you will have easy access to your valuables.

Once installed, The Compact Headrest Safe locks in place so only you can remove it. The fabric coverings that are used look and feel like real leather. If you are concerned about matching your car’s interior, simply order a sample swatch.

With its universal design, the Compact Headrest Safe fits in virtually all vehicles with a two-prong post headrest pattern, and can easily be installed yourself. Link to installation video:

The Compact Headrest Safe was designed to be on the passenger side, so the driver has direct access to the safe from the driver’s seat. The Compact Headrest Safe bundle offers a matching driver side companion headrest.
