What gun type (& finish) is best for the BATHROOM?

Stainless steel

Stainless steel should hold up with occasional maintenance - better lube it up occasionally with a light oil film, though not excessive.
 
Stand a Remington 870 Marine Magnum shotgun in the corner. It's "marine" so should be right at home (seriously, as per the web site "... Electroless nickel plating covers all metal, including the inside of the barrel and receiver.").
 
Yeah, but he wont die of paranoia

You have to remember, not everyone has paranoia as their primary motivator. Some people have just run out of places to mount containment units for their firearms and will use any justification they can come up with to put a gun somewhere just to get it stored away. :)
 
zilmo Same here I saw it and had to read.
The high point would work with it's warrety besides if it fails just drop it on there foot and it will break there foot or drop it there head and knock em out cold at least ya have water near by to revive them when ems shows
 
I think some of you are carrying this HD just a little to far

Don't you know suburbia is a combat zone? Your life could be over at any second, death is around every corner. Anything less than a Mossberg 590 9 shot with 12ga 3.5" 000 Buck, a door breacher, and a bayonet in every room is just asking to be killed... ;)
 
If you really feel the need for a bathroom gun...move.

Besides, everybody knows the best bathroom defense is a book on martial arts. Eat enough mexican food and you'll be the deadlist man alive.
 
"Bathroom" is probably a little too overly cautious. However, depending on location, "outhouse" is prudent.

A friend's family has a camp in a remote location in the Brooks Range and was held hostage by a grizzly for a few minutes one time. Needless to say there is a shotgun on permanent outhouse duty when they are up there.

I think writer Phil Shoemaker does the same thing.
 
...for those who think it's overkill to keep a weapon in the bathroom,my neighbor was invaded at 2:30 pm broad daylight they locked the older gentleman in the bathroom and spent 20 minutes ransacking his house...if he had a weapon in there he could have stopped it ...they were young and unarmed but there were 4 of them and he is 87...you never know when trouble will come knocking...or kicking in

My bathroom has a 686 in it with 158gr jhp ...I worrry more about the ammo going bad than the gun rusting ...just shoot the ammo every month or so and stay alert
 
I don't need a gun in my bathroom. At least not when I'm in there... the smell alone would fend off a gang of Russian Mobsters...LOL!!!!:D Hell, most of the time it's too much for me!

Seriously though, a gun in your bathroom? I guess I'm in sheep mode, but that seems a bit extreme. I guess I'm too used to Rural living...
 
I keep a Taurus 617 in the cabinet above the can, which is in a separate spot with a door but just a few feet from the shower. It just sits there on a shelf, no special treatment, to guarantee I will never be caught with my pants down, so to speak ... it's that or a rolled-up sports illustrated ... been in there for a while, looks none the worse for wear ... it's blued steel ...

I'm caught between two questions that need asking. (1) How does your Sports Illustrated accumulate wear? (2) How do you blue a magazine?

No ones suggested the obvious:confused::

Porcelain, of course! What else would you want in the bathroom?

That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me! You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It dosen't show up on your airport X-ray machines, and it cost more than you make here in a month.

Sheesh, I can't believe no one knows this stuff.:D
 
I think it would be foolish to keep a firearm for use in any location without the proper training. Maybe there is a market out there for an indoor range with "training" toilets. Nothing will prepare you for firing off double taps mid loaf, but simulation would definately point out any flaws in your technique. You may even need to practice drawing from a sitting position with your pants around your ankles. This is all assuming that you are sitting and not standing. In the standing scenario, one may need to practice weak hand shooting, depending on which hand you use to aim which implement. If you are considering being armed in the bathroom, you may also want to use range time to practice shooting while holding your breath for a while, you never now when constipation may hit. Good Luck!
 
When you live in a small apartment in a city where home invasions do happen, it's not all that paranoid to make sure you're armed in the shower. Having a specific gun dedicated to the bathroom may be a bit much.

That being said, maybe there is a use for that Hi-Point I bought while saving up for a good gun...:rolleyes:

Not to veer the discussion too much or justify paranoia, but we did have a situation here in Oregon a few years back where a couple thieves would scope out potential victims who lived alone and then wait for them to get in the shower in the mornings and use that time to rob them. They got caught and confessed their MO after a single woman had started her shower but then not gotten in for one reason or another and she encountered them in her bedroom and they severely beat her.
