When is the last time you fired your nightstand gun?

I'm ashamed to say about a year ago. It's one of my full sized carry guns so it's been thoroughly tested. I used it in a CCW class and scored a 100% on the shooting portion. No issues.

It's an HK VP9. I better take it out and shoot it again.
 
My nightstand gun is a CZ75b. It's been 18 months since I've shot it. I did have it packed up and ready to head to the range with it 2 months ago when my wife called me and changed my plans as I was heading out the door.
The living room gun is a S&W M66, it also hasn't been shot in about 18 months.
The garage gun is a Hi Point C9, it's been shot within the last 3 months.
Basement/home office gun is a Kimber K6s, it's also my carry gun so it's been shot within the last 2 weeks.
 
Nightstand gun is my carry gun, which gets fired routinely.

The bedside shotgun is a different story. It is a hammer double that the whole family knows how to use. I train with it weekly using dummy rounds, but it kicks so hard that I keep "forgetting" to take it to the range with me...

I keep a Smith 1917 as a "nightstand" gun and I last fired it about a month ago. I don't really think of it has a "fighting" gun, just something to help get across the room to the shotgun or rifle.
 
My nightstand gun is a Glock 22. I put new night sights on it this week and shot 50 rounds. Changed the flashlight battery on it as well. I have an identical gun that I actually carry around the farm that got new night sights and a workout as well but it never sees a week without shooting.
 
about 3 moths ago. It gets wiped down every month to get the lint/dust out. I always do a test function then. but it gets 50 rounds every 6 months or so. The ammo gets swapped every year.
 
Been a few months now since shooting M&P 9 , the last few times at the range was EDC Shield and Model 10
 
My night stand gun is also my carry firearm, so it last got fired just before beer virus hit. Supposedly the ranges in my area are going to slowly open back up, so fingers crossed that will change soon.
 
My carry gun is also my night stand gun, but recently I added my XDM 45acp tucked under the bed. Someone was joy riding firing out the window close to our home so I added the 45 in case more stupid stuff happens.
 
A couple Saturdays ago. One Saturday morning every month, I just take 9s, and that one's a 9, so in range bag it goes.
 
The "nightstand" commander is also my target pistol. Gets shot a lot. It's also with me on almost daily hunt/hikes.... but more as a "buddy" than anything else because I don't go anywhere without a cast bullet rig(rifle).

Was out yesterday in driving rain with the commander and a stainless TC Prohunter 243 and my Doberman..... sorta doing what they're sposed to be doing(stainless,"slick" Dobe).
 
CZ 75B carry and n/s - gets shot “every once in a while” - I am always hopeful that it never has to be used for it’s intended purpose.
 
Last week I took my Ruger P95 to the range. It had actually been several months since I shot it. Was decently accurate (for me) this time around since I tried adjusting my grip a bit.

I only ran 2 magazines through it. My Mom had a short doctor's appointment nearby and didn't have a lot of time.

I also got some time in with my new to me Circuit Judge. There's an issue or 2 with it, but I'm thinking it will make a decent house gun that my Mom would also be able to operate
 
My EDC also does nightstand duty. Was last shot a couple of weeks ago.

I don't put a lot of rounds through it, though. Just enough to verify function of the gun and mag. Another equivalent gun gets the vast majority of my training and practice trigger time.
 
I have no idea. I do dust it every now and then Not to concerned, usually can hit a large target 10 feet or less away..

My nightstand gun is a Glock 19C, with a mounted light. It gets fired about twice a year. But- I fire one of my many Glock 9mm pistols every week, as well as 150 rounds through my M&P 22, which is darn close. All rounds are fired in realistic drills under a pro-timer. I'm convinced that it won't matter much which one I use in an emergency.

This is much like my situation. My bedside is a Glock 17 with a Surefire light and 21 round Magpul magazine. It generally gets to the range 2-3 times a year. But I shoot similar guns most range visits
 
Good question ... probably been months. It has permanent residence in the nightstand drawer, I actually tend to have a P-226 with a plus-2 20-rounder and Surefire X300 Ultra on the dresser as well, but I do like the FNX 'cause ... it's a .45 for gosh sakes, and it holds lotsa big bullets (16 to be exact). Good reminder to take it to the range next week; it's a soft shooter with really excellent accuracy (not the greatest trigger, though, to be honest, but it can be carried cocked and locked).
