We sleep with this one between our pillows. Refinished with Blue Wonder ten or twelve years ago. Finish is holding up, but I want to redo it with Moly Resin sometime soon. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ZIWo80z.jpg) Please tell me you're joking.

Mostly, I am scared of guns, but I tolerate them, due to old age and inability to fist fight any longer. The nightstand gun is a Glock 31, with a streamlight illumination device and 16 rounds of 115 grain Underwood JHPs. The gun closest to me in the couch cushions is a Glock 45, with 18 rounds of Underwood 147 grain Speer Gold dots, loaded to +P+. Mrs. Tide dotes on the Mossberg Shockwave 410 she has stuffed full of buck shot. She's incorrigible, but I kinda like her.
Knowing you the inability to fist fight is more than doubtful. Come on Junebug.... Well, I prefer to err on the side of caution these days. When I was younger, I did a bit of it. Frankly, I am now unwilling. I'd guess that somebody who played college football for Roy Kidd would maintain the ability to put a knot on somebody's head well on into their life. You need to hear the June Bug story B. And Joel is a storyteller like no other...

Was enamored enough with the P320 9mm that I ordered a departmental trade-in .45. I love it and keep it close.
Honestly the handgun I shoot the most lately though is the Ruger LCR .22. I about used up the substantial collection of partial boxes of various .22 ammo, and it has been on a steady diet of mini mags for a couple of weeks. I've only had it a couple of months and I'll bet I've put close to 1000 rounds through it

Do you guys do practice drills with your house guns? If so, how realistic do you try to make it? I try to do drills every so often to offset my normal clumsiness but only when the house is empty. It freaks the family out when I roll around the house practicing with guns.
Yeah, I know. Not very realistic since it would be likely there would be family in the house when guns are employed for real.

We sleep with this one between our pillows. Refinished with Blue Wonder ten or twelve years ago. Finish is holding up, but I want to redo it with Moly Resin sometime soon. Please tell me you're joking. Probably in a holster. It's safe. But I do keep my 1911 on the dresser, rather than the nightstand. I figure by the time I wake up, get to the dresser and grab the 1911, I'm probably awake enough to use it responsibly. Just a personal safety measure I incorporate. Yes indeed, in a holster. And yes indeed, perfectly safe. The only occupants in our house are my wife and myself. To verify that the bump in the night is not one of us, the other has only to check and see who's in bed and who's not. And anybody who knows us knows that barging into the house unannounced at 3 AM would be a death wish, so I think we're pretty safe in assuming that such a visitor is not a welcome guest. In addition to the 10HB, there is an AR15 on either side of the bed. My EDC resides on the nightstand beside my each night also. All that is presumably made just about 100% effective by the presence of our dog, who will raise hell if an acorn so much as hits the roof in the middle of the night. I hadn't really thought about it too much, but I guess we're pretty damned safe and secure as we slumber. Similar here. I’ve slept with a handgun beneath my pillow since I was 16 years old. 52 years later, the only difference the handgun is a semi-auto......a holster has “never” been used! Wife has her Sig 938 on her nightstand. Once we’re up and about, she brings her Sig downstairs to the living room.....I leave my “pillow pistol” in place, grab my XDS 45ACP and head downstairs! If the grandkids come over, we collect and store the equipment! memtb

If pants are on a G21 45 ACP or Sig tacops 357 Sig is Blackhawk Serpa holstered on, with 200gr Lehigh penetrators at 1050 fps or 90gr Lehigh defenders at 1660 in the 357, both or one of the above are within arms reach wherever I sleep at night, bed, recliner, spare room, den, living room etc, etc.
11 rounds of 12 pellets each 000 buck cast with 22BHN alloy in an 870 twelve, or 55/62gr TSX/Lehighs and 150gr E-Tip/176gr Lehighs in 7.62 REPR are also an arms reach away at all times, sticks living here too.

Got various handguns scattered about.
But in the places I spend the most time, I keep a locked and loaded 1911, as I am more familiar with them, and more effective with them. ^^^This^^^ Plus I’ve always got a Ruger LCP 380 in my pocket. And a 870 12 ga riot gun setting by both the front and back door.
