What is your nightstand/bedside pistol setup?

[Stephen A. Camp]

Hello.

This SIG-Sauer P220 has their DAK action. I have no problems with it and find it both light and smooth and plenty easy to use. Other folks do not care for DAK. Another reason it "works" in my case is that my wife can use it. She is not an avid shooter (although she is a true believer in both the Second Amendment and self-protection) but doesn't "forget" how to use this one as she very well might with my single-action automatics.

The wife's bedside handgun is an older S&W Model 65 LadySmith loaded with .38 Special +P. She finds magnums just too much.

My preferred bedside "set up" might be more along these lines, but the 12-ga. is "too much" for the wife and I fear that she might not recall the manual of arms for the 1911 under stress. The DAK .45 seems to be a workable solution in my own situation.

Best.

Taurus Judge w/4" barrel. First 3 rounds are 000 Buck. The last 2 rounds are 45LC Silvertip Hollowpoints. If 1-3 don't do the job, 4 and 5 will! If I ever need it, I figure the range will be 20' or less.

S&W 500, if there's more than 1 BG he'll know his world is coming to an end.

Well I picked up a Glock 27 the other day and bought some 180gr Gold dots. I'm going to get some night sights installed when I get some free time.

Same as my carry, it goes in the top drawer when I go to bed. Kimber Ultra Carry II.

My bedside companion, for a long time now, is my Glock 34 (The Best Pistol Ever Built )... with an Insight Technologies M3.

PT1911 with crimson Trace Laser grips.

This was a bad pic, I should have wiped it down better...

Thinking of switching to this though....

This is my nightside companion. CZ75B 40 S&W, CONDITION ONE...

My first ammo of choice is, TWO (12 round) magazines of Cor-Bon 135 gr. Powr' Ball. Followed by TWO more (12 round) magazines of Golden Sabre 165 gr. BJHP.​

Currently it is my Hi Point C9 w/9rds and another 8rd mad, small LED flashlight and my cell.

I do not have a designated nightstand gun. I simply remove my carry gun and put it on the nightstand at bedtime.
My designated bedside flashlight is a Surefire 9P with 120 lumen bulb.

Same here, except my flashlight is a Surefire G2. Plus the shotgun is an arm length away.

Right now my setup is a Mossberg Cruiser 500 12 gauge with 00buck under the bed. Im buying an Springfield XD-40 today or sometime this week. im gonna load the clip with 180 gr hydrashocks.

SS Loaded Champ, with Aguila IQ's, followed by Hydroshocks, and a Mav 88 with with 000 Buck in the closet. The light switches are infrared, you walk in, the light turns on. BOOM.

One of these and one of these!
(Desert Eagle and Beretta 92F)

Not really, I would be afraid for the neighbors, the neighbor's neighbor and the neighbor's Neighbor's neighbor if I shot the Desert Eagle.

A Taurus 24/7 Pro 9mm most of the time.

 

[GGarcia187]

One of these would greet our unwelcomed guests if they came to visit uninvited. I keep the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 next to my bed w/ 30 rounds of Hydra Shock. Usually whatever I carried for that day, most of the time it's the Glock 26 stays on my night stand. My wife keeps the 9mm Baby Desert Eagle next to her. The other 2 is a Kimber Pro Carry .45 and a Ruger LCP.

When I'm home my G-26 is right on the night stand if were in bed, otherwise it is on my person, it has Big Dots. The wife has her 2 S&W 38's ( one was her Dads ), there is always the 870 with 7 rds, and a bunch of flashlites. No kiddos at home anymore, so.....

 

[JimmyGreen]

Auto Ordnance WWII 1911A1, a trench knife....... and a highly pissed off wife that would mercilessly beat a BG in to submission for waking her up and ruining her beauty sleep!

HK USP 9MM full size with a big a$$ mag light.

 

[Gun Geek]

Well I don't have any pictures to post for it but I have a Para 14.45 and a 6 D cell LED mag lite, I don't have one of those new fancy pistols with a really expensive flashlight attached. I really want to get the para light rail model but I want it in single action. SOL on that. But what I have gives me just enough firepower to get me to my 12ga.
