Keep a Glock 17 Gen 4 with ns in a holster strapped to the bedpost; came very close to getting the 10mm Glock; also have a Glock 33 that rides backup; great choice in the "20". :)
-
Yeah I'm pretty fond of the 20, the 17 is great but 10mm fullpower loads make me sleep good lol
-
I know the feeling; can always pull out two .454's should I feel the need! ;D
-
That's awesome, in the unlikely event that you're ambushed by multiple bears at the same time lol ;D
-
I keep the .410/.45 LC that I bought from Tom Watson a year or so back. This provides all the comfort I need. Gene
-
.45 ACP, when you care enough to send the very best.

In the nightstand drawer S&W M&P 40c, extended mag, night sights & C T laser grips.

Sig P220 with night sights......... ;)

I keep my ruger sr9c with the 17 round mag in it and light on the front.

BLING ALERT
John:
It helps with finding it in the dark. ;)

Bling is nice! ;)

BLING ALERT
LOL.

That's one shiny gun. I want one lol

Jayson:
This is how it started, with the only embellishments at that time being the Sambar Stag grips and the Bo-Mar sights:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/RichardS/Colt1991A1BeforeCustomizing.jpg)
The original Colt, sights, and grips represented the first $1,000.00 of a project that took over a year to complete but was enjoyable every step of the way. 8)

In my nightstand you will usually find a Sig 229 with 12+1 of 40 S&W. My carry gun, which is currently a Kimber Solo, is not far away either.
Jayson - I like the Glock 20 or anything in 10mm as far as that goes. I bought a 6" Bar Sto barrel for the mod 20 in 9X25 Dillon which dropped right in. Puts 115 gr bullets out at 1650 fps with very good accuracy. A real hoot to shoot.
-
That is one of the best things about Glock; there are so many options available.
-
Leaning on the nightstand --- Benelli M4
On the nightstand--- S&W M&P 40
Under the Sweeties pillow---S&W 357
The only problem is my hearing aids are also on the nightstand and the Sweetie tends to have a rattling uvula when she sleeps. So someone will probably come in and steal all this armament and not disturb my rest or send me to the big rest.
My only hope is that the noise of the Australian Shepard panting and looking to be petted by the intruder will wake me up.
-
That is funny. You could fire the 357 and not worry about finding the hearing aids.
-
You should look into some type of alarm system, mines goes off with a high pitch ring if any windows or doors are openned or broken also have a motion detector. That oughtta wake you up. As far as glocks go I must say I'm a fan. So many calibers and options plus uncompromising reliability.

I have my Nighthawk Custom " Predator " .45 ACP next to me in the bedstand w/ a backup S&W 642 Snubbie. The Nighthawk is Stainless Steel, has Crimson trace Laser Grips , Surefire X300 Light, 10-8 Rear Combat Sight, and Dawson Fiber optic front sight. It has never failed to fire and is much more accurate than I am. This gun is all business, everything is there for a reason, very little "Bling".

That's one fancy pistol, nighthawk pistols are on my short list of things I haven't owned. The t3 is sweet.
-
No pics, but I have a 9mm H&K USPC with a light and 2 spare mags. I'd like to keep my Benelli out, but I've got a really clumsy dog so I keep it ready to go in my closet.

Right on, Chief. Both are very nice! :) Hey, and the knife too! :)
-
Just so it is understood that our household arsenal is not all "bling," this Generation 4 Glock 17 resides on the nighttable on my wife's side of the bed. I got it for her when she outshot her Court Officer at the Sheriff Department range using the Court Officer's own G17. This Gen 4 has been given an action job by Teddy Jacobson ("Actions by T") and is all business with no "bling" -- unless you count that elephant hide holster I purchased for her from Eric Rohrbaugh. (I just can't help it. ::) )

It is hard to Bling out a Glock ;D I really like the knife that is pictured next to my T3. I use it everyday. It is an NRA "Give away" knife from a few years back. I cannot wear it out! And it matches my Grips on the T3 ! :)
Chief

That is a great looking knife you have there, Chief. My problem with small folders is that I tend to misplace them. They always seem to show up eventually, but the problem is enough to make me leery of investing in a truly great piece of blade art. I have a client that has made it a practice to give me a different Winchester pocket knife every Christmas. Right now, I'm carrying a little Winchester 2008 Commemorative he gave me while I wait for the misplaced 2007 edition to reappear. As a tactical blade I carry a clip-on Jim Wagner Tanto design from Boker -- but that one never gets used for ordinary tasks and therefore never gets misplaced.
But again, that knife of yours really complements the grips of your T3!
-
Chief. Since your knife is a NRA "give away," thought I had seen one like it before, and went looking; sorta like RS; couldn't find it anywhere; maybe it will surface somewhere, sometime, in a remote drawer; usually have a dresser drawer to put that kind of stuff in.
-
They do turn up in the strangest places. I was looking for something a few days ago and came across one of my Grandfather's "Pen" Knives that he used to carry. It most likely is almost 100 years old now.

I'm officially jealous of your t3, that is one sweet pistol :)

Sig P-220 elite, .45 acp critical defense, streamlight tlr-2
-
The Sig P-220 is a formidable weapon. However, Hornady has a deservedly bad rap on this forum and many others. I would only consider using any Hornady product as range fodder. Not only have they produced inferior products in the past they also engaged in denial of the problem.
-
Critical defense is my carry load in 380, I've never had a problem with it, what kind of issues are you referring too?
-
I too carry the Hornady CD in my Kahr P380 with no problems what so ever. They really make a lot of sense to me, in the 380 especially.
I tested the 9mm Hornady CD's in four different compact 9's, R9, PM9, Colt Pocket Nine, and a Kimber Solo. All the rounds tested went off, cycled the slide, and proved adequate as far as accuracy. The only problem was the primers all showed "fried egg look" that were shot in the R9. All other rounds fired in the other pistols showed good and normal looking strikes. I determined it was the R9's fault and not the ammunition's.
I currently am carrying 124 gr GD's in the Solo just because Kimber recommends 124 gr and 147 gr ammo in the Solo.
I would not worry about the .45 acp CD's in the Sig, it is a completely different gun than the R9.
-
Glock 21 SF with night sights and a TLR-2S. If I do have to shoot indoors, I'm much rather it be .45 than .357 or 10mm. I'm already going deaf, but my wife and son shouldn't be.
-
I would not worry about the .45 acp CD's in the Sig, it is a completely different gun than the R9.
I also have had no issues with the Critical Defense round and am carrying and/or using it in all of my self defense weapons. I feel very comfortable with my wife carrying it in her .380 Sig-238 . If I thought there was a better round for her to use , she would have it. If you did want to find another round fo Self Defense, I would try out the Federal "Guard Dog". They copied Hornady's Polymer Center and put one of their own in it. Round shows promise.

Never heard of the guard dog but I'm certainly going to do some research, sounds interesting.

Article from American Rifleman (NRA)
Federal Premium has announced its newest personal-defense ammunition: Guard Dog Home Defense.
Available in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP, Guard Dog Home Defense is a full-metal-jacket style non-hollowpoint that's filled with an expanding polymer, which is designed to minimize over-penetration when shooting through interior walls. Guard Dog Home Defense expands rapidly but doesn't fill with barrier material. During Federal's testing, Guard Dog was shot into four wall-like surfaces and a layer of ballistic gel. Results were that the ammo did not penetrate the gel. Conversely, traditional hollowpoints punched through 15 inches of gel after passing through the same four wall-like surfaces.

Leaning on the nightstand --- Benelli M4
* * *
Reviewing this thread, HG's Benelli leaning on the nightstand reminded me that I forgot to mention what hangs next to mine -- a "tricked out" Winchester 1300 Marine Defender. This thing is better than Sominex for insuring a good night's sleep:

(Savage) Stevens model 350 12 gauge behind the headboard and an H&K USPC .40 with 12+1 and a mounted Insite lite/strobe. Kimber CDPII .45 hidden in the master bathroom. Extra mags for both pistols.
-
I like Jason's choice and others who have a Glock 20. Great gun, possible over-penetration in some scenarios (thin walled apt. or children near) with 10mm ammo.
However, I have very similar ideas. I have the Glock 21 (.45ACP) with n.s., and an attached light. "Backup" is provided by my Benelli M4 shotgun.
