I keep mine in the nightstand drawer, upright, with the drawer slightly open,
cocked and locked. It's a short 1911-style gun, and there are no
children in my house, so I consider that to be safe.
I am a big fan of the 1911 .45 auto. There was a period of time in my life
that I slept with a Colt 1911A-1, cocked and locked, in my hand.
The multiple safeties made that feasible, although I wouldn't recommend
that for everybody.
