I’ve simplified it to an AR pistol with a 7.5 inch barrel.

My bedside bump-in-the-night pistol is a P226 with an Olight light mounted on it that will light up the stairwell nicely. After that, I have an M4 ready for business not much further away.

Realistically I would trust about 95% of my collection.

Practically it’s one of these 4 99% of the time. I mean if time permitted a 12 gauge could come into play but 99% of the time one of these is in arms reach.
HK P30 (DA/SA like God intended! Smile)
HK P2000/sk (DA/SA like Jesus intended as well Big Grin)
Glock 48 (Striker fired because the devil made me do it :Wink
Springfield Hellcat Pro (because I’m a professional….I guess Razz)

^^^They make those now? Smile Seriously, if I had to limit the list to two, it would be a Glock 22 Gen. 5 in .40 and a S&W 686 Plus in .357.

Yes, and by a mere commoner, apparently.

I dunno about 10 guns for me, but it's pretty definite that SigForum accounted for near 40% of gun sales the last few years.

Jeez, guys! Leave some for the rest of us! Eek

There’s a G-21 & TLR-1 and a handful of magazines quickly accessible
Next to them are a G-17 with TLR-1 and a G-19 with an XC-1 and a handful of magazines quickly accessible.
Another part of the house theres a P-226 (9mm) and a few magazines.

All of those are in “quickly accessible” safes. So here’s the screwed up thing-
My G-43x, Shield Mags with a Holosun is my (99%) off duty gun. So I come home and toss it on top of the dresser next to my watch, wallet, $, knife… Im leaving the house, I toss all of that on.
So more than likely, if there’s the “bump in the night”, out of ease, it might just be the 43x.



The one or two times that something happened, it was an AR Pistol, with light because it’s hard tucking in a G-21, a magazine or three, cellphone and handcuffs inside sweatpants.
