I have a little different approach. My shotgun next to the bed is for defense only. I dont plan on clearing my house and going on the offensive if there is an intruder. We dont have any children to round up in case of emergency. Our plan is to hunker down in the bedroom while my wife dials 911.
Best case, wife is dialing 911 while I have the tritium bead on my shotgun focused on the bedroom door. Worst case, I have to try and grab my G17 w/flashlight off the nightstand in a fog while my bedroom door is being kicked open.
I opt to just run a mag extension with a tritium bead on my HD shotgun. I think its all I need for my plan and situation.
