Note that "factory-set combinations" do not include their own master codes. They still have that whenever fedbois want to break into your safe. At least it now takes a court summons instead of a fucking phone call, so it's a small victory for the copeservatives that don't want to be Just as Bad™ as the Left by engaging in Cancel Culture™.
At this point, I'd be looking for a mechanical safe on which you can change the combination yourself. Since they all record the combo.
In theory, an electronic one could work as well, and it might be easier to recode. If you could have any sort of guarantee at all about the software. But I haven't seen like an open source safe.
There are a lot of reasons, but I guess a safe that you can open quickly is the best for actually defending yourself. Or guns not in the safe. I'm sure people do a combination of that. keep your collector shit in the safe and more utilitarian weapons around the house.

There shouldn't be a backdoor at all. They shouldn't have that information regardless of what the feds have.

There's also the issue of EMPs, which is a pretty big mark in favor of mechanical safes as well.
