What’s Your Bedroom Gun?

[QuietClick]

I'm curious about what everyone keeps near their bed at night for peace of mind. Do you have a specific firearm for home defense? If so, any tips on setup, like lights or safes?

Mine is an older Sig P226 9mm. I bought it used a bit over 30 yrs ago. I have a lazer grip for it.

I myself am a sinner - I still like the .40 caliber. I keep an FNS .40 cal long slide under the night stand. Under instead of in the drawer. I'd hate for someone to sneak in while I'm asleep and shoot me in the head with my own gun lol. Everyone looks in the drawer - not near as many look under the nightstand lol. I also keep an AR and 3 loaded mags in a carry pouch with a sling on both. Everything else stays locked up - well almost everything. My daily carry pistol stays in a secluded spot over night.

CZ P-07, no optic, but WML
It's not my EDC ... Just me and the wife so it's just in a drawer by the bed.

G48, G22 and a Form1 Sig 516 SBR with attached AAC M4 2000 suppressor.

It used to be my BHP 9mm, but then I switched to my Masada 9. Off and on it was my Benelli M2 with the short 18.5" shorter barrel. It is 12 ga. of course.

Honestly I know some folks will roll their eyes, but I do not keep a gun by the bed at all. I figure if it gets that far something already went real wrong. Instead I keep a heavy flashlight, my phone, and a baseball bat within reach. Less chance of a half-asleep mistake and more peace of mind for me

I see where you're coming from, but I've got to disagree, having a gun by the bed isn't just about reflex, it's about having a real deterrent and immediate defense if something goes wrong

I get your point, but for me, the risk of an accidental discharge outweighs the potential benefit. I feel safer relying on awareness and non-lethal tools instead
