Several years ago I had a NAA Guardian in 32 ACP. I never was very comfortable carrying it because it would not reliably feed and the bullets seemed to tumble and "keyhole" the paper. Maybe I had a lemon. I currently keep a LCP around quite often and it has been perfect so far.

Ok so I didn't dream the noises! After about 20 minutes of looking around the house this evening I started checking glasses in our kitchen cabinets...bingo! Last night the wife had just unloaded the dishwasher before bed. There were three glass cups stacked together and for whatever reason the bottom one cracked and then a big chunk broke away hitting the other glasses in the cabinet making the shattering noise I heard.

  That has sort of been the way I've operated in the past. If I've heard something that was odd but still sounded like it was outside around the house, I've always gone to check it out. I guess the expectation that the broken glass was one of the windows and the possibility of some thug coming through one shortly, made me reconsider. 

Thanks guys. In the moment it made sense and seemed like the right decision. Of course its a completely different ball game if that little girl will ever start sleeping through the night in her bedroom again. Nothing like those kind of noises to wake you up quickly and get your chest pounding though.

It's 1:45 am, my wife and I are asleep in our bed with our 20 month old daughter between us. Something wakes me up that sounds like the crack of glass. It happens nearly the same second that the heat in the house quits running and I lay there and try to convince myself that it was only the filter in the vent return, only seconds later to hear the very distinct sound of shattering glass. I'm blind as a bat without glasses so I hop out of bed, throw those on and reach for my trusty Glock and SureFire light. Our door is partially closed so I open it the rest of the way to examine the area of the house that I can see from our doorway. No movement. Since the three of us are the only people who should be there, I close and lock our door, lay down the pistol, and switch to the 590A1 in the corner. My wife is on the phone with 911 (she woke up when I jumped out of bed but didn't hear the glass breaking herself) and our daughter is fast asleep. The police come, walk around the perimeter and check all of the windows to find no broken glass.  :confused:   I still believe the sound I heard this morning was the crack of glass followed by a shatter, but I have not found the culprit...yet! I suspect the answer will be in our attic directly over our bedroom with the two tons of junk we hoard up there. This evening I intend to prove I'm not crazy!   Regardless, since then I've replayed this over and over in my mind, as many of you would, to consider what I could/should have done differently in this scenario. I'm curious what you would do in a similar scenario in your home? Should I have grown a pair and checked it out further myself? In the past when I've heard things go bump in the night, I've always left our room to check it out. Tonight with our daughter in our room though, standing my ground with my 12 gauge aimed at our door felt like the best decision. What are your thoughts??

Very nice! I too spent the day with my dad building a (much smaller) gun cabinet to keep my few handguns and my HD shotgun locked up when the need arises. Fun project.

The Outpost in Murfreesboro has it typically. I'm a fan of the Critical Defense loads. It's worked well for me.

I couldn't justified the cost of the 238 over the cost of my LCP...but now I'm very excited to check out the 938.

praying for you now!

The Supertuck is the only IWB i've ever had any luck with also.

Congrats. I just bought a Glock 9mm version from a member on here a few days ago and shot it this evening for the first time...I believe it's a keeper!

Will do...pray that she remains safe and comes home quickly.

Worth a shot...thanks

Wow...i've heard the markups are way down from what they used to be but that's not leaving a lot of room to haggle.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into those dealers. The Traverse based on the window sticker is really above what we want to spend but we hope that since we should be able to buy straight out with no financing that will make a big enough difference so that we can afford it...hopefully!
