Is your EDC also your nightstand gun?


Recommended Posts

I like your mattress rack, did you buy that?

My "nightstand shotgun" Remington 870 Express Tactical 12g. Knoxx Stock, Mesa side saddles and rail, NC Star Scope/laser, Surefire forearm with AFG, tri rail with Surefire flashlight, heat shield, Viking sling and ghost ring sights.

That's a new record I think for the amount of **** bolted onto a shotgun.... Jesus.

Yeah......I like accessories, but at least I'm prepared for anything. :)

Are you left-handed? It's kinda counter-intuitive – to me – for a right-handed shooter to mount the shells in the carrier upside down like that. Wouldn't it take kind of a weird roundabout method with your weakside hand to reload the gun out of te shell carrier?

If you notice, those are (I assume) secondary as there are shells mounted on the stock on the strong side as well

Caveman,

The rack is a commercial product. I bought it so long ago that I have forgotten the commercial name but I believe that it was something like "Home Backup". I've kept my Mossy "slick" as I really like my defensive equipment simple. The gun itself is wearing the Hogue stock because it didn't have a stock. The piece was a survivor of the tornado we had here in 2008. When I acquired it had been a field gun but had a split stock and a twisted barrel from the storm.

I put an 18 1/2"different barrel on it with and fitted the Hogue stock. The Hogue is easy to hold onto with wet or sweaty hands. I fit all of my 12 gauges with the LimbSaver and the Trijicon bead was just a "why the h*** not" afterthought.

This an Old Warrior "come back from the dead" and ready to rock and roll.

I keep it in "Cruiser Mode" (tube loaded, chamber empty and safety "off") as there are no children at home anymore.

Which are also mounted in such a way that it'd put one's left hand (assuming he's right handed) into a position that isn't really suited for quickly stripping them out of the carrier to reload the weapon in a big ****ing hurry – which it seems the situation we're discussing in this thread would lend one to need to do.

This is all assuming, of course, that all that ****'s not hanging off it just because he likes throwing money at stuff.

Which is a totally valid reason to do it, of course.

Hell, it's not like any of it matters.

No, my main EDC is a 1911, and my night stand gun is a M&P9. I figure if I'm scrambling to get a gun after being suddenly woken, I want something that just points and shoots, no extra movements or operations.

I have a revolver on my nightstand and my carry is a M&P9. My thinking on the revolver is that if I am woken from a dead sleep I want something that I can just point and shoot. No jams to worry about. Simple.

As there are no children in my home, I have guns in several locations in the house. The ones I carry are usually in my desk or beside the computer, if not being carried.

An XD45 is usually my nightstand gun as I usually carry a smaller gun.

I got the G27 as a backup originally, but it has become a primary carry when i don't want the size and weight of a 1911.

Had mine for a couple of years now and I love it more and more each day - just a really well-designed firearm that's comfy to carry.
