What is your choice for nightstand/bedside handgun?

[BamBam]

Im thinking maybe a large revolver, like a .357 mag with short 2-3 inch barrel, D/A and no safety. What do you cats keep bedside? thanx.

My usual carry gun (a commander sized 1911) is on the bedside table, next to it is a Mossberg 500 12 Ga.

Glock 22 in the headboard..

Remington 870 Express 12ga.

1911 fullsize Kimber.....Browning Hi Power not to far away

We're kinda thinking along the same lines, except, if it was strictly for home and not also for carry, I'd have gotten a 4- or 5-inch barrel — or more likely, a shotgun.

642 and/or Glock 17 on headboard

One of two... My Smith 40VE with a light on it or my MP 40c with a surefire G2.

mine is a Springfield ultra Compact in 45ACP which is also my main carry handgun..

[Squib Joe]

Oh.. I don't have anything. I'd just call 911 and wait for them to save me.

For handgun, HK USP 9mm. If I can make it to the closet, the AR is the prefered choice.

[BamBam]

Quite the assortment , of those that have the Revolvers, seems you prefer at least a 6 inch barrel? what about an 8 inch?

[devilmutt]

Rem 870 and Ruger P-89 with two 15 round mags and one 10round mag.

.38 snubby special with crimson trace laser--had to bring it out only once (false alarm, as it turned out) and I LOVED shining that laser dot around the entire house from behind my bedroom door, so that if someone had actually been in the house, wherever they might have been, they would have seen the dot playing around the walls. It sends a powerful message, I think. After that one experience I would never be without a laser again for home defense work at night!
