What’s Your Bedroom Gun?

[QuietClick]

Hey everyone, I'm curious about what you keep around for home defense at night. Do you have a specific firearm you trust and maybe a safe or light to go with it? Let's share our setups!

I keep a Glock 17 gen 5 within reach. Light with strobe and green laser. No need for sights when things go south.

Both, myself and wife: 5 shot "Public Defender" (same as the "Judge".) shot #1 a Remington .410 Personal Defense shot load (4- .32 balls in shell), #2 & #4 are .45 LC PDHP rounds, #3 &#5 are .410 Remington Shotgun Slug rounds. A ritualistic Personal Defense smorgasbord. We both have practice empty - reload- resight. Very satisfying at 7 yards (21 feet). We have a 12X12 Bedroom, 12X15 living room. After those we're waiting for the sirens to come up from the distance.

My EDC, a KelTec P-11, 9mm. So used to shooting it that muscle memory of both hands negates need for sights at bad-breath distances.

Back up for that is a S&W Sigma with the same operating character and familiarity.

And Mrs. Flash has installed so many night lights that recognition and target acquisition is a non-issue.

I keep a Colt AR-15 9mm Carbine ready to go at all times. It is easy to handle, not very heavy, accurate out to 100 yards, little recoil, muzzle blast that isn't excessive, and has a 32 round magazine inserted. Even if I miss the first couple of shots, I still have enough to finish the job.

It's not often I see a 2-point sling in use anymore. Would you use it in a middle-of-the-night scenario ?

Ewe - betcha. Shoot first, ask questions later. Don't eff around here. Period! This is my minimalist firearm. It only gets larger with more bang-bang-bang from here.
