I've searched the shotgun threads and have come up with nothing. Has anyone had any experience with one of these, if so how do you like it and is it worth the $40.

I think so I want the one that holds the 45 and the Mag Light combo, although shottie holder would be my 2nd choice.

Not that particular brand and set up; the concept goes w-a-y back.

Make your own to fit your bed.

Bed frames have changed over the years.

Back in the day, most beds were wood, and used slats to hold box springs, of which the mattress sits atop.
Headboard, footboard, attached to side boards.

Some would add additional slats held in place with a square piece of metal and simply pull out the slats, lay shotgun on it, and sleep, with shotgun handy.
In the morning, put shotgun in its spot, push slats under bed out of site, and to keep from bumping into it.
Basically slip these "square retainers" over slat, small screw to hold in place, then put box springs atop then insert another slat.

Some just made a metal piece that hung over wood sideboard. 'nu' if you will, which some used when they traveled staying in motels, hotels and roadside cottages.
These pcs carried with door stops were common with sales reps.

Some just placed long gun atop shoe boxes pulled out from under the bed where stored, kick back under in the morning.

Make one, just I do not suggest keeping one in such a rig all the time.
Beds are one of the first things that get flipped when punks come in and grabbing what is handy fast .

Some of these under the bed storage set ups, with locks have been tweaked for this use.
The good ones, metal or wood, and heavy construction with good locks.
