Is that an old Ithaca? like, the one that if you hold the trigger and pump as fast as you can?Mine is an Ithaca M37 with a 20-inch "Deerslayer" barrel, loaded with 00 Buck.
I really don't consider any handgun the ideal home defense or "nightstand" gun. Handguns are hard enough to shoot well under ideal conditions. In dim light, a shotgun trumps all.
I keep a Ithaca Model 37 12 gauge in my bedroom closet. Dad bought it for me Christmas 1969 when I was 19 and it didn't take me long to learn you could slam fire it. I keep a GP100 loaded with 357Mag and a Model 10 on the night stand. The 357 in case the huge Black bear that visits my porch breaches the glass slider door and the 38+P for two legged intruders.Is that an old Ithaca? like, the one that if you hold the trigger and pump as fast as you can?
I think I saw one of those way back in time.
Yeah!Do you mean this one?View attachment 1143030
And why is that? Green veridian no safety and I'm comfortable with it. My 870 won't b fit the nightstand anyway.Odd choice.
Charlie used everything from a ,.32 revolver to a big Wildey. Which one?I want a pistol like the one the actor Charles Bronson plays with in one of his movies. I do not know the name or caliber, but that would be my choice.
The Wildey, as pictured on a previous post.Charlie used everything from a ,.32 revolver to a big Wildey. Which one?
Oh ,how I miss my 228. But replaced it with 1911 Commander. I seem to lean toward the mid size barrel lengthView attachment 1142427

Ten rounds PG Hornady Critical Defense in extended mag, laser, confidence.
You be happy with your choice, I'll be happy with mine. And it is role, not roll.Because a G43 is a small gun, designed for concealed carry, and so the tradeoff is it is more difficult to shoot well, regardless of skill level. Since concealability isn't a factor or consideration for a nightstand gun, it's a less than ideal candidate for that roll.

I am not a fan of a gun that has the extra step of disengaging a safety during a high stress situation so my choice would be the Beretta.
