“The man shot by a Clovis police officer Wednesday had just raped a woman at gunpoint and was threatening officers with his pistol,” kqre.com reports. “Investigators said [Paul] Villanueva broke into his ex-girlfriends home on Wednesday. As she was attempting to take a shower, Villanueva approached her with a firearm and threatened to murder her . . . Villanueva held the alleged victim against her will for at least an hour before police arrived.” Me, I turn the alarm on when I shower, keep my gun close by and gin-up the Schnauzers. But let’s say a paranoid pistolero wanted a gun IN the shower. Which one and how would you secure it? (Alfred Hitchcock fans need apply.)
A spear gun.
You stole my thunder. As soon as I read the title that was my first thought. Second thought was a claymore by the sink, towards the door.
I always have a gun in the shower 😉
A one-shot derringer?
Squirt Gun.
Oh… where is my doggie shower alarm? Mangy Mutt!
On a serious note:
A good knife with Jaques and Squeaker going ballistic would be a decent combo.
Obviously it’s a Glock, everyone knows they’re made entirely out of plastic.
Walther PPQ NAVY
Mossberg 500 stainless
Titanium Heizer .45
Duh.
Colt on a rope?
Or just a good old Colt Nay, right?
Detatchable shower head. Hot water @ highest temperature then let ’em have it.
I too turn on the alarm. I have an HK 45 in the bathroom but not in the shower.
Mosin Nagant. If it can survive 80 years in a Russian Gulag, it’ll be fine in the shower.
Sig MK25, it can take a little water.
How will the powder in your cartridges survive several steamy showers?
Double-barreled Coach Gun. If it’s good enough for The Duke it’s good enough for me.

I have a Charter .44 Bulldog in the bathroom, just a arms reach away from the shower. Stainless, wrapped in a oily rag to prevent rust.
1911.. Anything. Just FrogLube it.
Remington 870 SuperMag.
For shower protection, I say a basic revolver. Keep it simple.
The perfect shower carry weapon
is any handgun you wish
as long as you can find
a ziplock bag to fit it.
Glock on a gun magnet bolted in the top corner away from the shower head. Less metal, less rust.
How about the soviet APS?

HK416. Over the beach capability. Or, HK M27 IAR with the Armatac SAW Mag.
Next you’ll need to decide on a holster.
Mossberg Mariner.
Of course, my Wet Tunes Shower Radio would be turned to the most annoying station possible, now THAT’s a deterrent…
I believe this has already been tackled over at ARFcom; I think this was a photo of the solution:

winner!
It would be a challenge to rip that open with slippery, soapy hands. You’d better keep a knife or a pair of scissors nearby if you go that route.
I’m one of those kooks who takes my weapon in the shower with me using a Safepacker holster that I wedge in between the towel rack and the tile wall. Works for me.
Safepackers are great!
I sing in the shower. My voice is so beautiful that human ears con not tolerate the exquisite tones and dazzling melodies. At least I think that’s why my friends all turn on the radio when I start singing, … or throw things at me.
A little research reveals that the SEALS and DEVGRU use the Sig 226 Navy (phosphate corrosion resistant internals) and the HK45CT. If they are good enough for beach assaults, they should be good enough for the shower. I also understand that there is a Glock mod for firing underwater. Still, high maintenance to ensure peace of mind.
Yeah, get the marine spring cups for the Glock:

An AWC Ruger Amphibian integrally-suppressed 22LR seems an appropriate choice. Singing is bad enough in a shower, but large-caliber pistol fire? The Amphibian was designed to endure repeated submersion: A few shots at 1 meter should suffice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXUhpc1QEeI. Take a beach ball into the shower and you can work on both kinds of seal training.
This question has been around for some time …

I think a simple magnetic bar placed high up out of the waters path, attached with some sort of adhesion would be easy enough to do. If fact… I might just go ahead and do this myself.
Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9mPlW6au9c
maybe move to a different neighborhood where you don’t need a gun in the shower…so that one nearby out of the shower will be close enough…
