Dear THR:
What is your current nightstand weapon setup? What are your considerations when choosing a handgun for nightstand specifically with reference to platform, caliber and configuration?
I am more concerned to hear from those who have children in the house. With children arround we need further precautions and care. How do you manage your loaded with live round nightstand weapon?
If you have more than one weapon on or near nightstand please also share your tactics for that.
I know many people who use same weapon for EDC and nightstand. They claim that their training on one platform enhances there ability to use one weapon more efficiently. Do you agree?
How do you practice with your nightstand weapon and how do you train to improve your response to a situation? I am asking this because when we get up from a deep sleep it 'sometimes' takes a while for the optimum coordination between all body parts. Sometimes, ones hands are not as responsive due to the way/position in you have probably slept. How do you improve your readiness? This is also where I think live round is a must at nightstand- but many have disagreed with me stating that it can cause accidents because there is a good possibility that the weapon may not be properly handled once your are suddenly awoken by a noise etc, or have fully grasped the situation.
Thanks
