Bedside/ Mattress Holsters

[Thefeeder]

Any recommendations on a bedside/mattress holster for a full size pistol. Are they any good to begin with?

I like ones sorta this but mine is plastic with a nylon holster and like this one holds a pistol AND a flashlight which for me is a must. I'm sure this one works just as well and holds a extra mag.

I’m curious too. Not that my nightstand isn’t a good holster...

I've been toying with the idea of mounting a safariland qls receiver to my bedframe. Then I'd use the same level III retention holster I use on my battle belt. At least that way I'd get more use out of the holster than the limited times I can go out and LARP.

Quote from OP:
"Are they any good to begin with?"

Oh yaha. I've slept on the ground, floor, cot, backset of automobile.
And I'd definitely choose a mattress to sleep on any night of the week.

nightstand is all you need...

I do have Crossbreed holsters. They are a quality product, however, I have no experience with this particular set up. If I were considering a bedside holster, this would likely be my first choice.

That just sounds like a bad idea. Every level three holster I have ever used is pretty unforgiving, if you don't get everything just right. Do you really want to try that when it is in a position you don't normally draw from and you may not be fully concentrating on a perfect draw because your brain is trying to process what is happening?

Hell if it works for you, great. I just think a plain Jane bucket holster with no retention would be a better choice for the task.

With the mattress holder.....I have a large comforter on the bed. I can reach down UNDER the covers and reach my pistol. Can't do that with a nightstand if you wake up and someone is in your room or standing over you with a weapon.

You need a dog, he or she will alert you before the house alarm goes off. Pending on the breed of dog they know when someone gets on your property and will bark allot!

All these buys you time if you needed a gun in the middle of the night.

^^^^ Beat me to it. My 75 lb overly protective Chesapeake Bay Retriever sleeping on the foot of my bed will give me time to reach into the nightstand in the dark (muscle memory ) and retrieve my "house" pistol... a SiG P320 fill size in .45 with a surefire x300 light. That is if my alarm system fails first. Even small dogs can provide a great level of warning...I personally dont want my dog to engage and risk injury...I just want the warning.

If a burglar hurt my dog I wouldn't be able to shoot them... Id have to gag and handcuff them and then rob a blood bank of several units of plasma ...to keep the bastard alive in the basement for a few weeks...

Super easy to use at 3am

This magnet is so strong but barely noticeable when there is not gun attached. It's on the bedside nightstand and I can easily reach it at 3am.

It has a hard plastic cover so no scratches on your weapon.

I keep my Sig p220 with a light on the rail and I'm good to go very quickly.

IMO no. Save your money.

I've keep/kept a gtg handgun on my nightstand for 25+ years. Flashlight and cell right next to it.

KISS principle. You don't want to fumble the handgun from a sleeve, box, holster or any other nonsense when you hear a bump or crash in or around the house.

*If the noise is loud enough to shake you awake in the middle of good REM sleep it's serious.
*I always remember the 4 golden rules. ALWAYS.

i'd have to let go of the one in my hand to grab it

My dog has horrible dreams. Sometimes she wakes me up for no reason at all due to her nightmares. Poor pup.
