About Us
Manabout Racks came about when I couldn't find a quality handgun rack to help me organize my growing collection of handguns. I was at the point of buying a larger safe, or trying to find something to help me organize the one I had. I searched most of the chain stores, the privately owned gun stores, and the internet. I couldn't find a quality handgun rack out there that I really liked, or that would do what I needed it to do. Sure, there are handgun racks out there, but they were either poorly made or of poor design, (guns not held in place very well or secure) and did nothing for accessories. Many years ago I developed an interest and skills in woodworking, and it's been a hobby of mine ever since. So, I drew on those skills and combined it with my interest in firearms to design and build the ultimate handgun storage system. At first for myself, and now for others who may have a need for one of the most efficient, functional, and aesthetically pleasing handgun storage systems on the market today.
Manabout Racks Mission is to help all handgun owners, collectors, and shooters organize their collections and maximize the space in their safes & vaults. To provide a superior quality handgun storage system that will allow the safe and proper storage of fine firearms at a competitive price that cant be beat. We're committed to producing the best handgun storage system on the market, we're also committed to 100% customer satisfaction.

Rick, your racks arrived in perfect condition this morning and I must say they are even better than I expected. Awesome craftsmanship. The finest handguns in the world are now sitting in the finest gun racks in the world and I am extremely happy. I'll be ordering more very soon as I'm starting to get my Colt collection in order. I will send you some pics later today, they look great and work even better !! There aren't many items of this quality that you can buy anymore at such a fair price. You are the man !!

Rick, thanks for the great work. I have made several trips to my safe just to admire the gun collection which are totally visible for the first time while being in the safe. I truly appreciate your artistry and talent. I've attached some photos and thanks again.

Rick,
Absolutely amazing! Its been one week with my six new Colt Hammerless 8 Gun Pistol Racks! It sure made a crowded safe much more manageable. Now I can find a particular Colt in seconds, no more digging around. Everyday one of the first things I do is open my safe and just stare at the new racks full of Colt pistols. It sure has made order out of confusion, all that and they look great too. Attached are some photo's.
Many Thanks,

Rick,
I received the rack yesterday and installed it in my safe last night! Holy cow, this is an amazing piece of quality design and construction. I applaud you my friend, now I know why the reviews are so great, you know how to make a quality product. That is a true rarity in today's society. When I get settled at Fort. _____ in _______, I will probably be purchasing another rack from you as it fits perfectly in my safe and looks like it came as a part of it.
Once again thank you for working with me and for supporting the troops. Keep up the amazing work and I will be sure to spread the word about your quality products to my friends.
Very respectfully,

Hello Rick !
The rack arrived on the UPS truck this evening and all I can say is WOW !!!
Absolutely Beautiful in every respect. The quality and craftsmanship you put into your products is suburb, you are truly a craftsman of the highest order !
I immediately went to see if it would fit in the gun safe.... perfect, with a couple of inches to spare. I then loaded it up with a variety of guns to see what the cut outs would fit, it held them all perfectly. I'm sending you a few pictures I snapped in a hurry tonight, the rack is holding 7 Kimbers, 2 Glocks and a Taurus Judge.
I'll get some better pictures in the next few days to send you.
Thanks again,

Good evening, Rick!
I just wanted to let you know that my husband loved the gun racks for Christmas! He said when he looks in the safe, it now looks like he always hoped it would and is wondering why he didn't get them years ago!
Thanks so much for your great work, and have a great 2009!

Rick,
Just an update, Your two 12 gun racks are working perfectly for me. Everyone who walks into the vault LOVES them! I always give them your web site address and I do hope they give you some business. These things are perfect. I've had 2 decent earthquakes since they have been in the vault, and no movement at all. Thanks again for such a high quality product. Hers's a photo of the two 12 gun vertical racks placed end to end on the workbench in my vault.

The racks came in today and I was able to reorganize my gun safe already, they're perfect and a perfect fit. It was getting a bit crowded and the shelves a bit too close together. The racks are very nice and really make a huge difference. This will solve my issues of guns clanking against each other and scratching the finish and dinging up the grips. Here's a before & after photo.

Rick, I liked the first gun rack so much that I ordered another one! Here's a photo of the first rack and a photo of both.

Hello Rick
I cannot begin to say how nice the gun rack I ordered is. Thankfully you packaged it well because the shipping company must've had a disgruntled employee that day, the outside box got bashed in but the contents were fine. The pictures do not do justice to how nice it looks. I will definitely tell anyone I know wanting a gun rack to order one from you. I included some pics. Again, awesome job, thanks.

Hi Rick,
UPS delivered my gun rack tonight and it fits perfectly in my gun safe and the look and build couldn't be better.
I'm really excited over this thing and it has already saved me a ton of space. I just need a few more handguns to fill it up!
It holds perfectly everything from my little baby Glock all the way up to a long-barreled Ruger .22.
I'll definitely be recommending you to my friends and will be giving you a call when I fill this one up and need another. I included a picture just to show how perfectly it fits and looks in the safe.
Thanks a ton,

Just received my order today of the 4 Gun Greystone Rack and matching pistol stands. The quality and workmanship are far better than I expected for the money. They are exceptional in every aspect. I did have a problem closing my safe after I put them inside, not because they did not fit, but because they look so darn good I didn't want to close the door. They look good enough that my wife even let me put one of the pistol stands on the nightstand, much better than just keeping the "ready" pistols laying on top of the nightstand at night. Thanks again for making such a great product with great service and delivery. You can add me to the "very satisfied" list and expect another order in the future.

Hi Rick,
I received my gun racks today. Both, arrived in perfect condition. Upon first inspection of the packaging, it was obvious to me that this was not your first go round.
You should know that I spent a lot of time researching before deciding up on a gun rack to install in my safe. I was about ready to break down and attempt to build my own.
When I found your website and took my first look at the product you make, it was as if you were reading my mind. Had I chosen to build my own, they would have resembled yours.
However, I am 110% sure that my version would not have been anywhere near as perfect as your well refined product. The craftsmanship is just as good as can be wished for.
If I was to have any complaint, it was just that it took quite a while before I stumbled across your website. You seem pretty busy. So, maybe more publicity is not what you need or want.
But, I will be giving your website out to some of my buds. Your product just dominates anything out there on the market. Patience was a winner on this quest.
Thanks again. I wish you continued success. Keep up the fine work.

Hello Rick,
Just wanted you to know that the gun rack arrived on Monday (1/12). I was very pleased with the quality and design of the rack and it fits perfectly in my gun safe. Thanks once again for the very prompt service and for producing a quality product.
Regards,
Carl
Thanks Rick,
It arrived today and I've gotta say, just a Great product! I never thought I'd have so much room in the safe. I'll be back for another one as my collection continues to grow.
Thanks again.

Rick,
Just wanted to let you know I received the two Greystone gun racks and they are exactly what I wanted. They fit nicely in my gunsafe, the padded rests fit everything from my Walther P-22 to my Taurus 945 and a full size Glock, and the slot underneath is perfect for extra magazines or, in the case of revolvers, ammo boxes. Yours is the only rack I have found that has this very handy underslot storage. Thank you for the quality work and the prompt attention.

Hi Rick
I received the rack today. It looks great and works as good as it looks! Thanks for making a great product at a reasonable price.
Have a great day.

Rick, it's a pleasure doing business with you, thanks for the updates and keeping me informed, great customer service. As for your question, I was doing a search on pistol storage racks via googles search engine. All I saw for two pages was the same old drab and boring metal cage storage racks, very expensive and overpriced storage systems, and some foam pistol rack that looked like it would collect more moisture then a sponge. About the middle of the 3rd. page I found your website. I reviewed the various configurations and ordered the 7 handgun with drawer storage rack. Why, the rack really looks sharp, well thought out, well made, I loved the idea of having storage draws below the pistols, and I love wood. All the products on your website are very nice, keep the great products coming !!

Just received my gun rack. Nothing short of "WOW". I guess I wasn't expecting it to be that nice. Looks perfect in my safe! Thank you for the great customer service, shipping info, and a great product.

Rick,
I just wanted to say thank you for building a truly beautiful and extremely useful pistol rack. It accommodates every one of my handguns and presents them in a way that makes them readily accessible. The rack fits perfectly inside my safe and gives it an overall custom look. The craftsmanship and attention to the finishing details make it far superior to anything available on the market today and it was well worth the wait!
Thanks again!

Hi Rick, I received two of the 4-gun Greystone racks yesterday as a birthday gift from my wife, and I loaded 'em up this afternoon. Already full!! Guess I miscounted, HA. But seriously, they look great in the safe and organized my collection like i've never been able to do before, definitely the best handgun racks out there, and I will be ordering another in the near future.
Thanks again

I'm the proud owner of one of these custom made racks!!! Mine was made to hold four handguns and fits them beautifully. I don't have a digital camera but will get some pics up as soon as I can.
Great quality, easy guy to work with and a great communicator. I recommend these highly.......
