Browning FMJ 42 – Serious Protection at an Accessible Price

Perfect for Texas gun owners and value-conscious buyers across Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, and beyond requiring reliable Browning security for growing collections. Rest assured that firearms can be stored away easily and with maximum confidence when you are away.

Upgraded Features – BX to FMJ

DPX Door Panel with Sewn-In Pistol Pouches: A full DPX Door Panel comes standard with sewn-in pistol pouches for convenient handgun storage and quick access. This premium door storage system puts your most-needed items right on the door for grab-and-go convenience while keeping long guns organized inside the safe body. A major upgrade from the basic door organizer found on the previous BX Series.

8 Mega Bars (4 Active): The FMJ 42 features 8 Mega Bars with 4 active to prevent pry attacks on the door. Multiple locking points create a secure barrier against forced entry attempts with enhanced bolt coverage and the proven Force Deflector Locking System protecting the lock mechanism.

60-Minute ThermaBlock Fire Protection at 1,400°F: Significantly upgraded from the previous BX Series, the FMJ 42 delivers 60 minutes of fire protection tested at outside temperatures up to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit. ThermaBlock fire insulation is the same proven technology found throughout Browning’s higher-end safe lines, providing superior defense against extreme temperatures.

14-Gauge Steel Construction: Uses 14-gauge steel in both the body and the door providing reliable protection at an accessible price point. This steel thickness delivers solid security for firearms while maintaining affordability for growing collections.

Force Deflector Locking System: The Force Deflector Locking System protects the lock mechanism from pry attacks and forced entry attempts. This proven security feature is found throughout Browning’s higher-end safe lines and is now standard on the FMJ Series.

CA DOJ Certified: The FMJ 42 is California Department of Justice certified, meeting strict state requirements for firearm storage. This certification ensures compliance for California buyers while demonstrating the safe meets rigorous security standards nationwide.

Storage & Design

42-Gun Capacity: Total capacity of 42 guns with DPX door panel storage for handguns and accessories. This capacity accommodates extensive collections while maintaining accessible pricing with premium Browning features.

UL Listed Electronic Lock: An electronic lock is standard so that you can set your custom combination. UL listed electronic lock provides reliable access control with convenience of programmable codes.

Charcoal Textured Finish: The outside is painted a charcoal textured finish with a professional, modern appearance and the distinctive FMJ Full Metal Jacket branding on the door. Black hardware including the lock, handle, and Browning logo create a cohesive, tactical aesthetic.

Elevated Floor Design: The inside features an elevated floor providing clean interior appearance. Raised floor design keeps firearms above any potential moisture while providing a finished look.

At 578 pounds, the FMJ 42 provides substantial security while remaining manageable for professional installation.
