What was your 1st night stand gun?

jd70 · September 23, 2013, 07:50 PM

Mine was a p89. With a 94 winchester in 45 colt not to far from it.

Dragline45 · September 23, 2013, 08:59 PM

Mine was a 3" S&W 60 in .357 which also happened to be my first carry gun.

As of right now my Beretta M9A1 has taken over for nightstand duty.

CajunBass · September 23, 2013, 09:01 PM

I've never had one. Whatever I take off my belt at the end of the day goes on the nightstand.

Right now, that's a 2" Model 12-2, in 38.

TXAZ · September 23, 2013, 09:03 PM

"First" was a browning 12 Ga leaned up against the nightstand.

Stukaman · September 23, 2013, 10:18 PM

A CZ52 loaded with milsurp ammo, now just usually keep a SW Model 28 4 inch hangen out on the nightstand.

9mmfan · September 23, 2013, 10:29 PM

S&W model 64 4". Don't remember the "dash" number. It was the first gun I ever owned.

jrothWA · September 23, 2013, 10:31 PM

Winchester M97 with buckshot and S&W M39-2.

Still on duty and supplemented with M1 Carbine.

Fireman179 · September 24, 2013, 12:23 AM

Marlin 336 and a model 65 smith. Live on big farm critter duty was the reason for the marlin.

JimmyR · September 24, 2013, 03:10 AM

I think my first was a Ruger Security Six 6" blued model- first pistol I ever bought.

Now I have a stainless version of the same gun after selling the old one serving nightstand.

redhologram · September 24, 2013, 06:28 AM

Mine has always been my EDC, never really had an "official" designated nightstand gun up until just recently. Now I have my SA PI9134LP 1911 doing duty as my nightstand gun, as well as my EDC when I take it off every night.

LockedBreech · September 24, 2013, 06:53 AM

Beretta PX4 .40, and even with my new 92FS the PX4 will continue to get nightstand duty. It has proven itself 100% reliable over thousands of rounds in a wide variety of cleanliness and lubrication states, plus it has a rail for my Streamlight TLR-1S. I am too comfortable with it to abandon it as the nightstand primary, maybe ever. No matter how great my newest guns are when it comes to nightstand duty I want boring, old, broken-in ones.

Of course if I have a minute of warning I'll grab the 870 out of the closet, which is a whole different level of comfort.

southjk · September 24, 2013, 08:59 AM

First nightstand gun was my first gun, a 4" 686. That's since been retired to range use only and a M&P 9mm has taken its place next to the bed.

Genepix · September 24, 2013, 09:17 AM

First and still to this day... S&W Model 65-5 3" w/ Crimson Trace grips. Love that revolver.

lcpiper · September 24, 2013, 09:49 AM

Beretta Model 85BB which is supposed to get me from the bed to my closet wherein resides my Remington 870 Marine Magnum

Tactical Jackalope · September 24, 2013, 10:07 AM

Glock 22

God...why did I ever like .40S&W?

weblance · September 24, 2013, 10:38 AM

Mine WAS a Ruger P95. It NOW is a FNX-45

skoro · September 24, 2013, 05:28 PM

Mine was a S&W Model 1917 with 45acp in moon clips. Still have it, but now it's in semi-retirement. Like me.

Kreyzhorse · September 24, 2013, 06:52 PM

My first, and still my current, was my Glock 22. Not my favorite gun but it simply works every time I pull the trigger.

foxytwo · September 24, 2013, 07:34 PM

My first nightstand gun was a XD40sc, now it is a XD9c.

reload · September 24, 2013, 08:26 PM

My first and current nightstand gun is an M&P fullsize 9mm.

JERRYS. · September 24, 2013, 08:28 PM

Davis P32, then a Charter Arms Bulldog .44, then I finally got a good gun, a Ruger P90DC.

Chowder · September 24, 2013, 08:39 PM

Mine was a 6" Taurus model 66 .357. It was my first handgun, early 90s production. I sold it to buy a Glock that I no longer own when I was first getting into handguns. I wish I never sold it.

bikerbill · September 24, 2013, 09:59 PM

Taurus 85 ... still have it, supplanted by a Springfield 1911 Loaded

Bozz10mm · September 25, 2013, 05:45 AM

That would be my Ruger Blackhawk chambered in 45 Colt.
