What was your 1st night stand gun? - Page 2

Sport45 · September 25, 2013, 06:46 AM

Benjamin .177 pump pistol here.

But I was a teenager at the time...

Still have the pistol and it still works. I like the way the bronze shows through on top of the barrel from the thousands of times I've charged it.

H&R Topper 12. Then I got a Glock 23 Gen 3, six months later.

I suppose my "first" nightstand gun was a Crosman "357" co2 powered .177cal pellet shooting revolver. First real firearm in that role was my Smith & Wesson Model 17-6.

9ballbilly · September 27, 2013, 09:42 PM

H&R single shot 20ga.
currently a .45 colt Blackhawk

far too many to list in between

montanaoffroader · September 27, 2013, 09:57 PM

Enfield No. 5 in .303, Colt SAA in .357 Magnum. Current nightstand gun is a Colt King Cobra.

treg · September 27, 2013, 10:25 PM

Buckmark .22.

It's what I had. I was, and am still very proficient with it.

GermanShep · September 28, 2013, 09:47 AM

Ruger SR9c was the first nightstand gun and only recently replaced when I got my hands on an italian Beretta 92a1 with a crimson trace railmaster light.

Its a sweet shooter!

When I got my NY State pistol permit, I bought a Ruger Blackgawk .357. It protected me through many nights.

fiream29 · September 29, 2013, 04:08 AM

Shorty Blackhawk in .45 Colt.

huskybiker · September 29, 2013, 07:27 PM

Also a Ruger Blackhawk in 45LC

goredsox · September 29, 2013, 07:39 PM

EAA windicator... 357mag...snubbie....I was in college and it was inexpensive. It would get so hot during range sessions that the chambers would expand and ejection was impossible. Had to practice w 38spl just to get through 100 rounds.

FireForged · September 30, 2013, 06:16 PM

My first nightstand gun was a Smith 686 4"

Kev · October 2, 2013, 07:47 AM

Lol @ Deaf!!!

armoredman · October 2, 2013, 11:03 AM

Charter Arms Off Duty, made in the early 80s so it was a quality revolver.

Current?

It was pointed out that the 1980s clock radio brought the "class" level down. I said, "Yeah? It still works - how many electrical devices from the 80s can say the same thing?"

Nick_C_S · October 3, 2013, 09:46 PM

My 686+ 3"bbl. I'm a revolver guy. Just point-n-click. No muss. No fuss.

Sheikyourbootie · October 4, 2013, 12:15 AM

First nightstand gun was an Ithaca 37 handed down from my grandfather. Still have it, but got an 18" barreled version that now serves nightstand duty. My .357 j frame (clip draw) is always within reach, too.

Nick_C_S · October 4, 2013, 12:23 AM

My first nightstand gun. . .
