I have one and it is a fun gun to shoot. Be advised there has been a recall -- make sure the one you are buying is not in the recall.https://www.ammoland.com/2019/03/smith-wesson-safety-alert-inspection-procedure-mp15-22-firearms/#axzz64RXlfdKy
Yes on the alarm. No on the deadbolt... my three boys would be on the wrong side of the door. That's not going to happen. Related topic... I have three boys 13, 11, and 9. Any suggestions on how to deal with them, gun safety, etc. Would be appreciated!

The lack of a round in the chamber is more due to having three young sons, and a wife nervous about having a gun in the house at all. I understand the "if you don't have a loaded gun on every floor of your house, what the hell are you doing?" Viewpoint, but my view is that I am better off now...
as to training... I'm open to suggestions. Currently focused of dry fire exercises when I work from home (snap caps... no live rounds near the gun), and trips to the range when I can.

I have a Glock 19 and keep it in a safe with a full magazine, but no round in the chamber. It is in a safe that I can get in in about 5 seconds. How do you all keep your home defense gun? I understand that, if the worst happens, I'll be using precious time racking the slide to chamber a round...
Thank you for posting this! I am just finishing day one as a gun owner. Went and picked up my gun (Glock 19) at the gun store. Told them I was going Togo right to the range to try it out. I had a range bag with me with, among other things, boxed ammunition in a compartment and two loaded...
Pinecone -- holder is a "Sticky Holster" from here:

The idea for the "need" for a holster came from my HQL class -- better to leave it in a holster in the safe. If I am grabbing it in the middle of the night less chance of me putting my "booger hook on the bang...
Yep... forgot to mention the holster. I got a very basic holster (to store the gun in the safe, not for CCW, which is a process I haven't begun), but am intrigued by the idea of a nice kydex holster. Plastic gun (glock)... plastic holster. Makes sense! Ha!
Ballistol is an all around light oil...
I'm in the same boat -- newbie.
Will actually pick up my pistol Friday.
Feel free to PM me to trade notes on what I have gotten so far. Not just cleaning but other stuff like: snap caps, range bag, chamber flags, gun safe, eyes and ears, non-MD magazines, ammo, bore snake, ballistol...
Thanks for all the replies! I won't be able to get down to Leonardtown this weekend, but now I have a much better understanding of some of the things MSI does.
