I wanted something with a longer trigger pull for when I would be woke up in the middle of the night. Same here. My house gun is a S&W SD9VE in 9mm. It has a long 8# trigger that won't likely go off unless you mean it to. And once the party starts there are 17 rounds on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry T Harrison Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 For all of you that keep an expensive firearm that is your pride and joy beside the bed remember that the chances are much great that the booger will break in when you’re not home.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Wanna see something unusual? Have you ever heard of the S&W Air Crewman? They were made for the Air Force and had aluminum frames and cylinders. They soon started splitting cylinders so the Air Force came out with a .38 Special lite round. Didn't work well so the AF scrapped most of them. S&W did actually make a few civilian versions before giving up on the idea. This is an early snubby as you can tell from the flat cylinder release button. These are LIGHT and scarce. I picked this one up years ago and have obviously never fired it.

Snakejaw_Joe Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Well I got two hunting terriers, they wont do any damage (they'd try though), but their ears and noses are damn fine - they'd tell me someone was snooping before they even broke in. Then its up to me to do the actual protecting. Its a quick peek on my phone to check the cameras and a short walk to my gun vault from bed so I can take my pick based on what I was facing. If one snooper - the ole double barrel. If two or more - the black guns are coming out. I actually stopped sleeping with my guns when I got my youngest Jack Russell. His nose is a machine. He often wakes me up at odd hours to let me know theres a racoon snooping around outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunger Dan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Hmmm...I tend to go the opposite route here. I have a SCCY that I keep loaded and chambered under the pillow. I did the internals on it to ensure it goes bang every time (out of the box it did not). I like that it is double action only-pull trigger or do not pull trigger is all I have to think about. Its dirt cheap-and you know in any self defense shooting, odds are you may never get the gun back. I don't want to lose an expensive gun to an evidence box just for getting rid of some scumbag. Plus, it holds enough rounds for me to get to the vault if a real SHTF situation comes up-then there will be no need to worry about trials, evidence , confiscation and such.
