What was your 1st night stand gun? - Page 5

kilimanjaro · January 14, 2014, 12:54 AM

Ruger Single Six, only pistol I owned. Before that it was a Shore Patrol nightstick I bought at a surplus store, very authoritative ash wood, and a big Maglite.

Now it's a S&W 3" Chief, along with the old nightstick and the Maglite.

Before the Chief, there was a Webley .455, 1911 .45 or 9mm, and a Luger for a little while, and a S&W .44 Special.

Walther P38. First handgun I ever owned.

Sight Unseen · January 14, 2014, 01:50 AM

Was and still is a Ruger P89DC.

TexAg · January 14, 2014, 07:21 PM

Ruger Old Vaquero 5.5" stainless .45 Colt I got for HS graduation. Only pistol that was mine for a long time.

dmanisgnarly · January 14, 2014, 09:34 PM

Mine was a ruger single six loaded with .22 magnum with a regular .22LR cylinder packed full of ratshot next to it(I was 12 at the time).

herdman · January 14, 2014, 10:46 PM

Ruger P89DC, still is.

Jo6pak · January 15, 2014, 05:21 PM

Ruger KGP100 6", still there

Jaykwish · January 15, 2014, 05:29 PM

Ruger sr40 first handgun I owned and now my bedside gun.

BigDog · January 17, 2014, 07:31 AM

Argentine P35, with Millett sights, Spegel grips, and a slightly bobbed hammer to lessen the bite to me flabby hand. Had to sell it when the money ran out, and regret it to this day.

ChasingWhitetail91 · January 17, 2014, 10:46 AM

I have a hutch with a 760 .06 on top, and a stevens single shot 16 bedside.

HawkeyeNRAlifer · January 17, 2014, 03:48 PM

A Charter Arms Bulldog, now a XD45.

dullone · January 17, 2014, 07:51 PM

1st night stand gun was also my first gun, a Ruger P95DC. It was replaced for night stand duty with a DAO S&W 64 4" revolver.

ohiomossyoak · January 17, 2014, 07:59 PM

Gen III Glock 23

Black Adder LXX · January 23, 2014, 06:54 PM

Ruger GP100.

goose2w1 · January 23, 2014, 10:44 PM

AMT Automag II in .22 mag. No longer on the night stand, but still love that gun!

Secretariat · January 24, 2014, 10:19 PM

Sig Sauer P-220(SAO) pistol.

The Rukh · January 27, 2014, 03:09 PM

While I was still in school, it was my grandfather's Smith & Wesson Military & Police .38 Spl Hand Ejector. When I was first married, it was a Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP & a Colt Series 70 Mark 4 in .45 ACP. Now it is what ever I carry that day, sort of a gun du jour.

Beentown71 · January 27, 2014, 10:31 PM

Inox 92FS

vkeith · January 27, 2014, 11:56 PM

S&W 39-2

It was my first handgun, and is still my nightstand gun, and it probably always will be since it has been 100% reliable for all these years.

Father Time · January 28, 2014, 12:35 AM

For a long long time my "nightstand" gun was actualy a Remington 870. (in the nook behind the nightstand)

I had pistols but they where more from SD away from home. It was many years before I moved away from the shotgun and started keeping a CZ-75 in the nightstand.

Jaguar Golf · February 3, 2014, 05:28 PM

Colt 1911 series 80

aarondhgraham · February 4, 2014, 10:49 AM

A very beat-up Ithaca 1911,,,
My Pop's brother carried it in WW-II and Korea.

I since found his long-lost daughter,,,
And returned the heirloom to her family.

H&R Topper 88 in 12 gauge, cut back to 20" beside the bed.That one was stolen in a burglary 15 years ago...has since been replaced with a Savage 20 gauge cut to 20", along with a gen 3 G29 in a Fobus holster mounted to the headboard.

prm · February 4, 2014, 11:36 AM

That would be my first gun...Hum? I was 12 and had a Marlin .22 rifle. Forty Six years later, it's still in the bedroom. Rabbits dread it, squirrels fear it, and tin cans run away from it. Growing up on a rural farm, it's taken more than it's share of varmints and livestock predators. Even put some sausage in the freezer.

First and last..1911
