buckfynn · October 14, 2013, 09:42 AM

Sig P220 which I also still carry.

Springfield GI model 1911A1. I've retired it from nightstand duty in place of a Taurus .357. I found the mag springs to weaken over time with the 1911 and think the revolver is never going to have that problem!

Ruger MKI 6 7/8", and a cut down 870. Now a 1911 CCO.

CZ-52 with milsurp ammo I was 21 and in my first apartment now it's a SW Model-29 snubby with Gold Dot Snubby loads something about a huge shiny revolver is a attitude adjuster.

"First" was a Remington 870.

First pistol was my first pistol, CZ-75 compact. That was also my first carry gun. Won't ever get rid of it, even though I use it for nothing but range time anymore.

Polish Radom 9mm.

Auto5 · January 9, 2014, 07:27 AM

First was Browning A5 20 gauge under the bed, then a Browning Hi Power. Replaced for awhile with an AMT Government Model, but now I'm back to the (same) Hi Power.

Ruger Redhawk .44 mag.

IIRC the first gun I regularly kept in my nightstand was a p85 it was fairly quickly replaced by a BHP and that remained the main one for quite a few years.

jalcon · January 9, 2014, 12:54 PM

P99 AS 9mm

dalegribble · January 9, 2014, 01:37 PM

Taurus pt-145 sits by me bedside.

Willie Lowman · January 9, 2014, 04:55 PM

First was a Ruger Redhawk .44 mag with 180 grain JSP ammo.

iblong · January 9, 2014, 05:36 PM

38spl j frame.

towboat-er · January 9, 2014, 05:53 PM

Being that I am older than dirt. An 1858 Remington. Retired it back in 73.

Quincunx · January 9, 2014, 10:08 PM

First ever was a good ol' Ballester-Molina.

HKFan9 · January 10, 2014, 01:05 AM

H&K USP 9mm FS

Jakobs Gunworks · January 10, 2014, 01:18 AM

Mosin-Nagant M91/30 was the first leaned against nightstand. Now an inherited Webley Mk V with .45 acp full moon clips, serves as permanent nightstand gun, as it did for the previous owner.

dannyb · January 10, 2014, 08:04 PM

S&W Model 19. First center fire firearm that I owned. Still practice with it, still keep it cleaned and oiled and ready if needed.

GeauxTide · January 10, 2014, 09:26 PM

First, S&W 19. Now SA 1911 and 870 Tactical.

Fugit1ve Wizard · January 12, 2014, 12:01 PM

My first night stand gun was an old yugoslav sks, but if you're confining things strictly to the physicality of being on your night stand, that would be the Ruger SR22.

Drue · January 12, 2014, 02:02 PM

My first one was a S&W Model 15 2", with an 870P 20" under the bed. The 15 has been replaced with a S&W M1917 .45. The 870 is still there.

SHE3PDOG · January 12, 2014, 04:45 PM

A Glock 23 which is soon to be replaced by my Glock 19 once I have enough rounds through it to be comfortable with its reliability.

Armybrat · January 12, 2014, 05:07 PM

First one was my first handgun bought new in 1959, the Single Six which I still have:

Current one is a S&W Model 38-3 Airweight which is supplemented by a Winchester 1300 12 Ga. Defender pump under the bed:

michiglock · January 12, 2014, 07:05 PM

I keep a Glock 22 & 23. Also Kimber Stainless II in .45.
I like to be ready.
