Perpetual Noob
I keep two of my 1911s cocked and locked next to my bed. Both with full ten round mags plus one in the chamber. If someone breaks into my home they get to see a fireworks show before they take a dirt nap.
Sameish. I'm not quite confident enough yet to keep it ready to go though, so I just keep the mag in it... all I have to do is rack a round and go. They're apartments though, so I'm using those Glaser Silver guys that aren't supposed to penetrate through too much. As a special bonus, they seem like they should shred anything they /do/ enter.
