Adam and Skeet think like me. 
 
My 870 has a reddot and extended mag.
I also alternate a Springy XD45 Service model (nice gun!) with the 1911 gov't.
But then I might have the S&W 686Plus snubbie
Or the AR with reddot and 20rnd mag
or... 

A Surefire flashlight is under my pillow. 
Keeps me from trampling the critters that scatter when the pager goes off for a late night emergency call.
