I read the following ... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>[Link to invalid post]I never go into the bathroom without a weapon to fight my way back out. Sounds a bit extreme, but I don't feel more vulnerable anywhere than in the bathroom. Musashi chose not to shower his whole life for a reason ...
Think about the bathroom for a minute: You are alone, with no windows to escape, and ONE door. There is no phone. You are usually naked or your pants are around your ankes, highly defenseless. There are no escape routes, no communications out, and few, if any, improvised weapons available to you.
If some bad person catches you in the bathroom, opens the door and comes in to attack you, you have to go THROUGH them to get out. There is no escape but through the door he is blocking, and he is probably armed (with your own kitchen knife if nothing else). Think about the damage that could occur in that tight of a space if you are facing a violent person with a knife and no escape. You better be ready to fight.
There have been cases of bad guys "casing" a house and waiting until they hear the person in the shower before they break in.
You are standing naked in the shower on a slippery surface, you have soap in your eyes, and suddently the bathroom door is kicked in, and a murderer is standing there with a knife between you and your only route of escape. What are you going to do?
My solution comes from GLOCK. I carry it into the bathroom each and every time I go in. It goes into the shower often times, and gets soaking wet. Guess what....it is a GLOCK and it does not matter. I have been doing this for years and never had a rust problem, in fact sometimes I take an extra Glock in, and strip it and scrub it with soapy water while I shower. The ammo has never corroded or gone bad, although I do make attempts to keep it reasonably dry. The corrosion resistance of the Glock is one of the primary reasons that it is the gun that I always have on me.[/quote]... and now I'm seriously thinking about getting a Glock to keep in the bathroom. Not having much experience with them, I am turning to other TFL members for recommendation on models. With the 10-round ammo limit, I'm looking for a model without a lot of "wasted space" -- meaning that whether it's used by LEO's or private citizens, we'll both be able to carry the same amount of ammo. Caliber really doesn't matter -- I'm comfortable with a 9mm, a .40S&W or a .45ACP. I guess to meet this "wasted space" requirement, the .45ACP might be the way to go. Finally, can they be ordered with a NYC trigger-job (heavier trigger pull) or is there some restriction/limitation on when that can be done. Thanks in advance for your comments, suggestions & recommendations.
