Best Shower Guns: Don’t Get Caught With Your Clothes Off
One of many gun owners’ biggest fears is someone coming into their home while they’re wearing their pants around their ankles, or even worse, having no clothes on at all. It’s been the subject of many memes on your favorite social media pages and in banter among shooter circles.
When I think of how much time I like to spend in the shower, which is until there is no hot water left, I realize that a break-in can very well happen while I’m midway through.

So, what is a man or woman to do when they hear their door being kicked in while they have soap in their hair? As Americans, we grab our shower gun and do the tactical dance in our birthday suits.
But if you don’t have a shower gun yet, not to worry. I’ve got a few guns that do well in wet and steamy conditions.
Glock 19 Gen 5
Gen 5 Glocks come from the factory with an extremely rust-resistant nPVD coating. And, since the Glock 19 is fairly compact, you’ll have several storage options available to keep the water away from your pistol.
Name a better pistol for the task. I’ll wait. Source
I recommend the Glock 19 for several reasons, primarily due to its great capacity and reliability, all for a fairly affordable price. They are easy to shoot and have a wide range of aftermarket parts available, as well as spare parts in case of any issues.
Since many of you may already have a Glock 19 for carrying, just keep that thang on you. It would also help to have additional grips added, as seen above, in case you have to use it with wet hands.

Model 870 SPS Marine Magnum
If Marines can take this through salty water and get out and slam shells through it, I’m sure it can take care of the shower slasher trying to make his way in unannounced. With the nickel-plated coating, you don’t have to worry about rust forming anytime soon. This shotgun was made for the shower-gun role.
The rubber will pull on your chest hairs. Ask me how I know. Source
With a 6+1 capacity and the ability to accept aftermarket parts such as Magpul’s forend and stock, you can load it up and set it up exactly as you prefer for maximum shower success. You’ll have to get creative regarding its home location, though, but at least you’ll be well prepared once you find one.
Smith and Wesson K-Frame Revolver
Having a smaller gun is typically the way to go for shower guns. They’re easy to store in smaller containers that are used for shower guns (we’ll get into that in a minute), and they’re easier to wield than long guns when you’re wet and soapy.
You also don’t have to worry about water as much with revolvers, as the water passes right through easier, which can come in handy if you get a little nervous with your soapy hands and drop it in the tub.
Easy on the eyes and easy to handle. Source
The K-Frame series from S&W is well known for having some of the best revolvers on the market, with great ergonomics and highly sought-after features. Plus, with the .357 Magnum coming out of the business end, the bathtub burglar is not going to stick around for long.
AK 104
The AK-47 is known to run in any conditions. Whether extreme cold in the Russian mountains or the dusty sandstorms of the Middle East, whatever you throw it into, it will run. This also includes your scalding hot showers that turn your bathroom into a sauna.
Maybe you won’t want it to rust. Source
With 30 rounds of 7.62×39, you have more than enough ammo to take out the bathroom bandits that come lurking about, and being an AK, you can rest assured that this thing will run no matter how much rust may accumulate.

Out of stock
That’s the beauty of the AKs. They’re cheap, they run no matter what, and if it gets a little rust on it, it’ll run anyway.
AR Pistol
The AR-15 platform is renowned for its ability to engage multiple targets quickly and efficiently. You’ll have plenty of accessories to choose from, high-capacity magazines, and since it’s an AR pistol and not a rifle, you’ll be able to maneuver with ease.

Make them regret it in style. Source
Even if you go with a standard 30-round magazine of your favorite .223/5.56 ammo, you’ll be more than well-equipped to handle whoever or whatever interrupts your shower with bad intentions.
Don’t let your showers get interrupted. IF they do, hit them with more 5.56 than they can believe.
M1897 Trench Shotgun w/ M1917 Bayonet
A shotgun and a bayonet. Need I say anything else?
Ready for all sorts of action. Source
I get it. It’s old, more of an antique piece, but those tap water terrorists won’t be saying the same thing when there’s a bayonet going clean through and you feed them 12-gauge like soup at a soup kitchen.

Keeping Rust Away
If you do decide to keep a firearm within arm’s reach while you shower, you’re going to want to take the proper steps to prevent rust. I highly suggest the following:
- Keep your firearm well-oiled and maintained frequently
- Consider a stainless steel or cerakoted firearm
- Keep it in a container with desiccant packets
- Dry it immediately if it gets wet
- Limit how much time it spends in the bathroom
Conclusion
Shower guns may not be considered necessary by some, but if you already have a few guns, why not? You don’t have to have one dedicated firearm strictly for the shower. You can always simply relocate one of your current ones to the shower.
Just make sure you keep it well-oiled and away from moisture as best as possible. Eventually, if you don’t take care of your firearm(s), they can and will rust, and then you’ll have a bigger problem.
Long live the freedom of shower guns. Be good and take care.
