My night stand set up has been my 239 for years. Right behind the night stand has always been my Mossberg 500. When something does go bump in the night, I usually grab the Sig as the glowing night sights are easy to see. My wife recently added my Ruger 10/22 to her side of the bed. I know is not the best caliber for self defense, however, 25 rounds of stingers is nothing to sneeze at.
