It fits a small caliber gun....i've put a .380 North American Arms semiauto in there and also a .38 S&W (not at the same time), both are about 4-6" in length. The safe is only 2-2.5" high, so you could put stuff around it and on top of it if you need to. I try to keep it to a minimum when it comes to "crap" in the console, and the safe helps me do this so it's not burried. And yes, that is a 12V outlet inside the console. I installed that so I could hide the charging cables for my cell phone, etc. I don't like cables dangling from the dash. I bought the plug at Radio Shack...all it needs is to connect a wire to a constant 12V power source and a ground wire...very easy install.
