...That's the flattest revolver I've ever seen...!

This thread has been running so long my nightstand revolver has changed! I've switched to an Astra Police in .38 Special. This L-frame sized revolver has a 3" barrel, a quick-release cylinder and user-adjustable trigger pull. Mine has had the hammer bobbed by a previous owner and I've customized the factory grip. With decent sights, a fantastic trigger-pull and stout enough for a continual diet of +P ammunition, this little-known revolver is a real gem.

Usually, I use my service issue gun, an H&K P2000 in .40 S&W as I take it off when I gen undressed and put it on the next day.
Otherwise, it is a toss up. I prefer 9m.m. semi auto's like my SIG 225 or BERETTA 92 or 96 models. When I pull out a 4 inch barreled revolver, it is usually on of the .38 Special S&W model 15's, a S&W model 681 or 686 or a RUGER Service Six loaded with REMINGTON 125 grain sjhp ammo. It is easy to shoot in this caliber and should be effective for what I need.

My most-frequently staged nightstand revolver has changed since I last posted within this thread. It is, as of late, been my dad's Ruger Police Service Six, inherited when he died in 2010. It's in .357, but loaded with Remington-UMC .38 Special +P S-JHP ammunition.

Neat! May one ask the price of such a weapon?

Typically they sell for $259 for a Spanish Police trade-in gun. If supplies of those have dried up they might be going for more now; I haven't checked.

Like Michael Tinker Pearce, since I first responded I have cycled in another wheel gun into my nightstand.

Currently serving duty on my wife's side of the bed is my 686-0 with some low recoil 158gr 357's. My side is still guarded with my 5" Colt XSE.

Diamonds in the rough that are not very well known.

Wonder how many of these guns see regular practice?

Both my model 10s (10-10,10-14) see night stand duty w/38spl +P JHP because I shoot them better than my other revolvers on regular range trips.
