edc and nightstand gun

[sshelton]

have your edc and your nightstand gun being the same.... my edc is a 4" xd9 and i have been thinking of picking up another and throwing a weaponlight and nightsights on it. since they r both pretty much identical training would b alot easier and when SHTF i would take both and if one breaks i still have a back up im used to and could use the other as a parts gun... does any of this make since? or do i just have to much time on my hands lol

thanks

My gun of choice is the CZ-75, cause of the frame mounted safety

 

[bud1976]

for a night stand gun I love a 1911 45ACP. Great gun easy to handle and accurate.

My EDC is a G27 and my nightstand gun is a G23.

It is what I am most comfortable with and most familiar with.

Your EDC should have night sights too, IMO. My nightstand gun and EDC are the same. I don't really need a duplicate, take off the EDC at the end of the day, put it on the nightstand.

My current EDC is a Kimber Tactical Ultra II. My nightstand gun is a Glock 22 with some mounted light on it.

You need a duplicate because if you need to use it in defense of you or loved ones it will be confiscated. Do you really want to be unarmed with the friends and family of the guy you just shot upset with you?

Having something of the same manual of arms is much easier to transfer too.

Whatever I happen to be carrying, whether G22 or CW40, becomes my nightstand gun.

 

[Bob45]

I carry an M&P 9c, usually with a flush baseplate mag, and no light attached, although I do have a Raven holster for it with the light. When I take it off at night, I attach the light, and put in an M&P full size 17 round mag with an xgrip adaptor

 

[mbaza3]

My current EDC is a Kahr P380. My nightstand gun is a Springfield XDM 45 with a Streamlight tactical light.

 

[Jtgarner]

My nightstand gun is my G35 with x300 on it and a 15rd mag and a +5 extension. My edc is a chopped G22 with a 13rd mag and one in the chamber. I don't see anything wrong with having two similar guns for the different tasks of EDC and nightstand. Like someone else said though, I would put night sights on BOTH guns.

EDC is "usually" an M&P 45 Mid. About 1/2 the time its a Kimber Raptor II. Whichever one I carry is the same one I use for the night. I prefer to use a non attached tactical light. that is how I was trained and prefer to use if needed.

You only own one handgun? If I had to give up one of mine I have plenty more to choose from.

EDC is 1911 .45, but sometimes a Glock 19, depending on work environment. Nightstand gun is Glock 37 with XS BigDots and Streamlight M6 and spare mag with electronic Peltors handy. Both are loaded with Rangers.

What does EDC mean?

My HD pistols are S&W Sigma 9mm, and concealed carry pistol is S&W 908S.

The Sigma was frankly a mistake purchase. It was cheap, came with a free laser (junk) and extra mags. Slapping a light on it in place of the laser makes it okay for close quarters work though. I've put considerable effort into improving the cruddy trigger mechanism, otherwise it would be a paperweight. Still, I like it better than the Glock I used to own (now I pretty much hate Glocks because mine was uncomfortable and inaccurate).

I think the ammo is almost more important than the caliber. Modern Federal HST rounds will create a very large exit wound (similar to .45?) and should not over penetrate. I trust 9mm in all my pistols. I am not the most accurate handgun shooter, so while a 45 has more stopping power, I'm afraid the chances of me missing the target are much higher.

EDC = every day carry

my edc is a g23 and i dont have a nightstand. i do have a 92fs under my pillow in a uncle mikes iwb holster with the belt clip cut off

 

[DBH]

My EDC is an M&P .45 C and my nightstand is an M&P .45 full-size. Keeps things simple for us simple minded people

 

[sshelton]

wow thanks guys! i dont feel completely wrong then lol... i know it would b cheaper to get a holster that allowed for a light or even just remove and add the light as i go to bed and wake up... so im not 100% set on the idea.. but its somthing im thinking about strongly.

 

[goinggreyfast]

EDC is an XD9SC and my "headboard gun" is a S&W Mod 10 38 spec snubby. The wife has a S&W Mod 442 38 spec on her side of the bed as well. It's her carry gun.

 

[45fan]

My EDC is either a 1911 Government or a S&W 442. I have a few others that might sneak into the rotation from time to time, but these are the regular go to pistols.

My nightstand gun is my EDC, accompanied by a 12 gauge pump gun stuffed with buckshot.

My wife carries a S&W bodyguard or a PF-9, but her nightstand gun is a Taurus Tracker 44, loaded with critical defense .44 Specials. Her EDC is never very far from her side, but the .44 is her favorite gun.
