Night stand guns caliber and capacity

[Dave Nowlin]

I ain't disclosing what I have in store for someone who breaks in my house.  He won't be telling anybody either.

[penguincomp]

I've got a few within arms reach of me at all times. So does my wife. Like others, I am not telling what there is but rest assured if anyone breaks in with us home, they won't be leaving upright.

M&P 9mm compact 12+1 w/ Streamlight attached. Other options available within reach, as needed.

[Grunt67]

Same one I carry, Walther PPQ 40, nite sights.

They have to get past Sadie (90# weimaraner) first, then 870 then XD 9 with 3 17 rnd mags. My wife has a lady smith, hope she sleeps thru it if anything happens. She is blind as a bat without her glasses.

Glock 21c with 30 round Kriss Vector magazine in the left side table. Glock 29 with Glock 20 magazine and TLR-1 in the table on the right. I'm not telling where the 870 is though.

Enough to dissuade and neutralize....

[The Legion]

Glock 21 Gen4 with weapon light and two 13 round magazines.

I have no nightstand gun. My gun is on my hip all day an when I go to bed it stays on my hip.

 

Its a revolver by the way. I shoot one handed an though I can shoot pistols all day without issue, the one time I needed it I limp wristed it an it jammed. I tried later to an now know that I can not shoot a pistol reliably under stress. My revolver though goes bang every time an loaded with 000 I can make 20 holes in something before I am out. I am happy with that.

You sleep with a gun on your hip? That sounds extremely uncomfortable. I imagine you have to sleep in jeans with a belt then?

Yep. Was a firemen for 13 years an just got use to sleeping dressed most of the time.. Just quicker when you ran 2 or 3 calls a night.. Grab boots an socks an I am out the door.

 

 

An yes I am currently single.

[Guest JeremyD901]

I have my Glock 23 gen4 it's my everyday carry as well as my nightstand gun. It's a .40 cal 13 rounds. Also have a stream light Tlr-1s light I put on it at night.

[kevhunt80]

Glock 19 with a 870 on my way out of the bedroom.  Also a ZT Kershaw for close encounters and my electronic hearing protection.  I don't want to fire a round in an enclosed area and then be too deaf to hear other intruders or my family moving around.

[enfield]

One round. 

 

:rofl:

1 round of 105 mm?

I'm dressed 1/2 the time I'm asleep as well. Also armed. For me its some kind of narcolepsy, I pass out early most every night in my favorite tv watching chair. I'll wake up around 12:00AM, hang out for a few hours till dragging my butt up to bed between 2:00 - 3:00


I'm single too... :rofl: can't imagine what woman could <burp> resist me though...

Once I've officially "gone to bed" my bedside gun is a M&P VTAC. I really like the VTAC sites, no matter if its dark as night or bright as day when I wake up I have a set of sights made to "pop" in any light condition. I keep a flashlight handy too, nothing fancy just a cheapo led light.

I keep others around the house, my brother thinks I'm a nut because I have a kitchen gun. I thinks he's crazy not too, his GF is cool enough to let him...


Having said all that, I've used everything from a 22 to a SA 357 as a HD weapon and never have felt undergunned?
