Nightstand gun setup questions

Hey all,First, sorry for the wall of text and excuse my newbiness to this world - I'm just starting to delve in. Anyway I included a TL;DR at the bottom if it's too much text.I'm trying to figure out how I can optimize my nightstand gun setup. I have the poor man's Glock - AKA the S&W SD40. But I love it. I've fired like 300 rounds at the range so far, no jams/problems yet.I have a flashlight addon for my SD40, which I think is a necessity in an HD situation. I was storing it in my Pelican case, under my bed. Loaded, but no round chambered. Seemed like a fair setup for a while for me.Maybe I've read too many 2A-enthusiast posts, but I'm more leaning towards the idea of having the pistol within arms reach at night, as opposed to having to feel around for the latches for the case, opening it, etc.So I've started storing my SD40 in a Kydex holster, inside the nightstand drawer, with the flashlight detached (doesn't fit in the holster.) I keep the mountable light addon right next to the holster, as well as a backup flashlight. Again, mag loaded, but no round chambered. I feel it's best in my case to either: Store it in the nightstand, in the holster, with a round chambered - Or: In the nightstand, no holster, but with the flashlight mod attached. Some people seem to like simply placing it on top of the nightstand, but I want it to be out of sight. I live with 2 housemates that I trust and there aren't any children roaming around however.Last concern is moisture... in my nightstand drawer I also store my meds, and my retainer, which can have moisture, esp. after being cleaned. I've heard of people storing guns in their bathroom and/or shower, so maybe I'm just paranoid about a negligible amount of moisture, but I put a cheap desiccant in the drawer just in case but I really don't want to risk my pistol getting rusty from that.TL;DR - I want a balance between arms-reach accessibility to my firearm at night, personal safety against NDs, and proper storage to avoid rust; will a retainer case with a bit of moisture be sufficient cause for concern, even if the gun is periodically oiled? What is your guys' recommendations for a nightstand setup, given what I have? via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/2JnGZXf
