OK, as seen by my other thread in this section for getting a feeler on a concealed Glock to carry, I put money down today to hold a Glock 30SF for me, as the store sold out this week.
I was going to go home with one today after work, but they sold out earlier in the week.
When they get it in I will pick out a holster and have some Truglo sights installed like I have on my Glock 21SF.
Now for an update on my safe.
As seen earlier in this thread I was not happy with the light pucks with the motion sensors in them as the light output was not great, and you have to wave your hands every 30 seconds or so.
I bought the Executive Light Kit from lightmysafe.com and it showed up today and I wasted no time digging into installing it.

Also seen on the above page is the combination light, I got the one in gold.
It is motion sensor turned on, and does a good job at lighting up the dial in total darkness.
I went with the Executive kit as it has five light bars instead of three, much better.
The nice thing about this kit is that you can add an indefinite amount of additional light bars for $30 each if you want even more light.
Start out by feeding the plug from the pack that plugs into your wall or powerstrip through the rear of the safe.
I had to drill out the fireboard a little more for the plug to fit in, and I had to tape the end to the drill bit and pull it in from the rear.
You then plug that plug into a small box with Velcro on it that has the first 3' wire that feeds the first light bar.
That box also has the door sensor on it that turns the lights on/off with a magnet that you mount to the door.
When the circuit detects the magnet, the juice is cut off.
Open the door so the magnet is not present, and the lights come on.
I put one light bar on top to shine on the Glock, and two light bars each on the sides.
Left side I had to pull the lights out a little further, as the doors locking bolts were hitting the lights.
On the right side the light bars are tucks all the way into the corner.
They had a sale on the AC model, so I got the Executive kit for $150 even.
The lights are a little on the expensive side, but after seeing videos on YouTube of ones with the LED rope lights in them, these are much brighter and easier to install.
It is all plug & play, so it was worth the money for this well designed and very illuminating kit.
The light bars have Velcro on the rear of them, so installing them was very easy.
I was a little leery of just Velcro as those light pucks I had in previously were not that great at sticking to the carpet, but then they weight a lot more than the light bars do since they have two AA batteries each in them.
It is much brighter in person and looks great!
The pictures do not do it justice.
Kit all laid out
The combination LED light
Lights unplugged from the powerstrip
Lights plugged in and activated when the door opens
Spare ammo (45 ACP and 5.56 NATO) and cleaning kit on bottom of floor in tacklebox
Top two shelves showing the Glock 21SF, spare magazines in the shooters/range bag pouch, misc stuff
