Hey all!
Well a Glock 19 Gen 4 has served valiantly as my home defense nightstand handgun since it replaced my Ruger GP100 .357 magnum.
With the ol' revolver, I felt safe to leave the cylinder fully loaded and the gun ready to fire because of that long, heavy DA trigger pull.
With my Glock though, I'm wondering if it is kosher to keep the gun on the nightstand with a round in the chamber. I have no children, and live alone. I also live in a thin walled apartment complex so I like to be careful with loaded firearms in the house. The Glock with it's relatively light trigger gives me some pause.
Basically what I'm saying is, do you keep your Glock or other striker fired handgun loaded with a round in the chamber for HD? If not, what are the pros/cons of having the loaded gun vs. having to rack a round in the chamber first?
Looking forward to this discussion, thanks guys!
