"Tonights night stand gun" might imply that you alternate guns. IMHO NOT a great idea! A night stand gun (assuming most times you are in bed you are asleep) is a last ditch SD weapon that will be grabbed when you are a bit groggy, startled and under lots of pressure. NOT a great time to have to remember which gun you have and how it operates, shoots, etc.
To me the perfect gun in a night stand would be a Revolver (such as your M10) but the SAME Revolver every single night. IMO A "night stand" gun should NOT be alternated unless of course your primary NS gun is out of commission. Just my opinion of course and YMMV.

I totally agree.. Same Weapon every night!

Same gun, same light, same extra mag all positioned in the same place so that muscle memory is developed...night after night.
The last thing one needs in a moment of high stress is to have to spend precious time trying to remember what the setup du jour happened to be.
You want to be able to react as quickly as brain and motor function will allow once a situation arises. (Hopefully it never will...but it's better to have a plan and not need it than to try to put one together when every moment counts.)
I realize I'm mostly preaching to the choir here but for those who have put off having a plan and sharing it with their significant other or family, there's no time like the present.

I change night stand pistols regularly. At the moment, it's a 60-14 2 inch with original Black Talon .357 Mag rounds. I don't ascribe to the "keep the same gun because you might forget how to work it" theory. I believe the presence of mind that will allow me to go down the hall to potentially confront an intruder with a gun in my hand will also allow me to remember how it works. The one concession I make is that I don't put pistols in the rotation that have a manual safety unless the pistol can be safely stored and carried with the safety off. My 6906 is an example. On the other hand, my 1911 is not. I believe that I won't accidentally engage a double action semi auto trigger pull in a rush to grab the pistol out of the safe. The single action, I'm not so confident.
Model 360, with three speed strip reloads of .38P and a extremely bright (don't recall the lumens) LED flashlight in a biometric speed vault. Same set up for years.

Wouldn't that same presence of mind keep you finger off the1911 trigger?
Probably, but the bedside gunvault isn't that big and sometimes the pistol gets grabbed at an odd angle. I've got lots of choices, and the 1911 just isn't one of them for that purpose . . .

I guess i am the only one who keeps three handguns handy, next to where i am sleeping. I have a shotgun loaded with 12 gauge buckshot, but I keep a 45, a 38 special and a 44 special ready
next to where I sleep. My thought is what if there is more than
one intruder, and he has someone behind him, and if he has
say an AK47 or something. I figure that the intruder must not
be allowed to get inside before the shooting starts.

Many, many years ago, if I remember right, it was called Bianchi's Law.
Always carry the same gun, same holster, same place on belt, etc....
Muscles have memory.
The idea could apply to "nightstand gun". I have always wondered if
those who keep a gun, easily accessible in bedroom, shouldn't worry
about the intruder using it on them? Maybe not a concern if you are a
light sleeper. I also wonder, if those with a .357 magnum for their
"nightstand gun", have experienced the muzzle flash and noise of
shooting inside a room?

Nuff said.
Where I live (moonbatty Massachusetts), the intruder must be inside your house before you can fire or you're the one who is going to be going to jail.
You need to wait until he breaks down the door and enters. We just had a case here wherein the homeowner didn't wait long enough and now he is charged with manslaughter.

Yes, and here's the wall of that room.

If there was any question around here, I feel confident the deputies would help me drag the body inside.
