Respectfully, Mr.RevolverGuy, I don't believe you did get what you wanted:

Quote:
Firingline post up your pictures.
Thanks to all those who did honor his request. I, for one, really enjoy pic threads.

In that spirit, I will post a couple which often find their way to my nightstand. Presented, in no particular chosen order (I love 'em all):

1. S&W 45 Hand Ejector model of 1917 (This one is a Commercial model, made in 1928):



2. Colt 1927 Argentine "Sistema" extensively rehabbed and both accurate and reliable:



3. Cimarron (Uberti) Open Top Replica in .44Colt (More accurate than you might guess):



So, c'mon, guys and gals, let's see some more pictures.

In the top drawer of my nightstand, right to left is a Glock 26 (my EDC), an extra 12-round mag, and a small sturdy LED flashlight. I make a point of keeping them there in the same order each night, and of duplicating it in hotel rooms when I travel, so I can lay my hands on them in the dark.

No pictures. My wife doesn't allow cameras in the bedroom after that incident.

Books. At the moment about Harley Earl and GM's Dream Cars. My Dad's Boker Stilleto which is sort of a folding sword (about 15") and very sharp. And this stuff:

http://s107.photobucket.com/user/hva...tml?sort=3&o=0

Ruger Redhawk, cut many years ago by a local gunsmith. I'm sure he would have finished it up nicer but I was young and must have bugged the **** out of him. 200gr Gold Dots. Cheap Stevens pump full of 00.

And several more flashlights not shown from multiple small LEDs to a huge Sunspot floodlight plugged into my jumpstarter pack. Seriously. Really lights up the property. I think the number of flashlights stems from childhood memories where the family flashlight never seemed to work when needed.

What's On Your Night Stand?
Nothing is on my nightstand. Carry gun remains in pocket holster, with my pants on the floor next to the bed. No kiddies around at this point.

All of the usual stuff like Bible, lamp, cheaters, clock radio/phone combo, two cells charging and the blasted Bluetooth... then what ever was under my arm all day that day.
Usually my spurless .327 SP101, but it does change up for short stints occasionally.

I have trouble getting to sleep, but when I do, I sleep very soundly. That's why I don't like to keep a gun in plain sight.

Glock 20 with 135gn Nosler HP's (no worries about over penetration) and a spare mag. Next to it is whatever I'm carrying that day, usually something in 9mm.

I may learn alot on this forum, but the benefits of keeping it under my pillow is not one of them.

I don't see me be awaken at gun point, with my hands under the pillow. I do not see this as times are changing. Having my hands on a load gun in my sleep is not my preference.

I keep nothing dangerous on a nightstand. My Dept. investigated some crimes in which cat burglars quietly made entry, and were in the victim's bedroom as the victims quietly slept. I hope this gives some with all manner of impressive armament on nightstands,etc, pause for thought. It does me......ymmv

I keep my Glock 42 on the nightstand in a holster, barrel pointed away from me. Plus a flashlight and phone.

The first night it was there, I did my usual 3:00 AM semi wake-up, saw two beady little eyes looking at me, and came wide awake trying to figure out what kind of critter had invaded my bedroom.

The Glock is the first bedside gun I've owned that had night sights.

Were you going to open fire in the bedroom, at a critter?


I got itisis in the elbows, need to keep my elbows straight when I sleep. So under my pillow is not good. My down by the boys.

Charter Arms 44 Bulldog loaded with Winchester Silvertips. When it's empty, two S&W's, a 2 1/2 inch Model 66 and two inch model 10. Revolvers I can hand one to the wife and she can shoot it. If they're still coming I have a 1911 45 and a 300 Blackout AR pistol in the bedroom closet.

On my nightstand? A lamp, an iPod clock charger, my cell phone charging, and 2 LED flashlights.

I talk in my sleep and sometimes walk in my sleep so no gun close to me. My wife has hers on her side of the bed.-

Just a couple items that some of you won't recognize

I like my gun a little bit closer to me.
