Herb,

Not too many would keep a loaded Luger these days, but back in it's day, it was common. Consider the number of 1920/23 commercials that were purchased. Most were probably used for self, and home defense.

I have always preferred a revolver for a closet gun. They can be loaded and left without worrying about weakened magazine springs. And are in much more potent calibers , in most instances.

I keep a S&W Model 25-3 loaded with .45 Auto rim. Replacing a Sig 220 .45 ACP that I would rotate magazines in every so often.
