Thinking if you shot that thing 14 times Bill, you could end up back in FLORIDA from the recoil, anything to the recoil? :kev: :kev: :wave: lane: lane:
Keep a pair of shorts by the bed with a black hawk holster on it, streamlight and XD .45 on the nightstand. That way I can quickly dress and investigate. If I just think I hear something but the dogs aren't going wild I go with the .45, if the dogs are barking, someone is there so I holster the .45 and grab the 870 tactical
I grab my Taurus 809(9mm), with 124gr hornady xtp's, cheap harbor freight headlamp and an old fiberglass axe handle I used to take with me to walk my dog.
I need one of those recoil reducing grips, Those are some miserable little bastards to shoot...
And here is my first line of defense...
And then I have an XDM 9MM with a Surefire X400 bedside and probably an AR or shotgun somewhere nearby too with a light on it depending on what I have out of the safe at the time.
I sleep naked and respond to any night time noises naked. No one wants to fight the naked guy.
I keep a sawed off and an xd40 next to the bed just incase
Long gun is better than a handgun, but a long gun doesn't fit in a nightstand quick access safe. Can't leave guns lying around with little ones in the house, so it works for me.
Nice set up Dan. I had a FNP .45 Tactical with an RMR and a TLRs. Now Xdm 3.8 .45 with Viridian laser light and I have a hand held flash light. All locked up by me when I sleep because I have little ones.
