I've been looking for a method to store my un-holstered handgun when I'm home, and kind of torn between 2 seemingly common types. There are variations of each, but the basic concept is mostly the same. And I know I'm probably not using the correct terms for either, so there's that. I'm just going by what comes up when I search the terms.
One is a "rack" type like this:
The other is a "mount" type like this:
The question I have with the "mount" type, is there a chance of damaging the inside of the barrel? I know the steel used is extremely hard and as long as the metal of the "post" is softer that the rifling will be fine. I'm just worried about the stress of "hanging" like that on the barrel and other components long term. I only carry it when I go out (which is honestly not as often as most people) so it sits on my nightstand more often than not.
I'm in the process of building new nightstands for my wife and I, and plan to integrate dedicated EDC storage. I'm just not sure which style I want to go for.
