Well sure I've got a shotgun but it holds 3 rounds and has a 28" inch barrel and is not exactly handy. I generally do not keep rounds in my guns and thats why I thought the 10-22 under the bed with a loaded mag or two in the night stand would be great. As for my definition of point shooting. Shoulder the rifle, look at what you want to hit, point, and shoot. I don't know if I would be able to get a sight picture in the dark when I'm ******* myself
