I’m pretty plain about my nightstand set up.
Glock 17 gen 3. Light on rail. Loaded. In a safe. Flashlight next to safe.

My EDC, glock G19 9mm or G30 .45, in my EDC holster, on the nightstand. Hubby’s glock .40 holstered on his nightstand. AR15 against the closet wall. No kids or critters in the house at night. Firearm are on us during the day.
We holster in case we’re awakened and come up without all our fine motor skills fully on. That way we can grab the firearm without accidentally grabbing a trigger since we keep them chambered.

The TLR-8 is great. Extremely compact, uses a common battery CR123 (well, common if you have other high-output lights), good brightness (500lumens), and probably most importantly the controls are intuitive and easy to reach. I leave mine set on light/laser, but its good to have the option of either one or the other or both.
I will say that I have considered another firearm for this purpose with a safety, OR getting a different style safe, like the Vaultek posted above that presents the firearm to you instead of having to “reach in” to get it.

Cz 75 with tritium nitesites, chambered, decocked on nite stand with 1k lumen flashlight. No kids, just wife and I. When ANYONE is coming over weapons, except what I am wearing, are secured in a locked safe. Also keep a .357 short rifle handy😏

taurus g2c in a gunvault sv500 speed vault mounted to the back of nightstand and opening towards the bed, flashlight on top of vault. Also p365 is holstered on top of nightstand only when I am sleeping. Have a 14 an 12 year old in the house. We have a german shepherd and 2 terriers in the bedroom with us so no worries about the kids coming in while I’m sleeping and the gun is out in the open. Those three dogs make enough noise jumping out of bed to greet anyone there is no way they could get to the gun without me waking up. Otherwise everything is always locked up or on my person.

1911 w/rail mounted x300 surefire light, in padded nightstand with phone plus Gerber MK II dagger between mattress and box spring. Wife is in charge of closet mounted Mossberg 500.
No kids, just a couple of pre elderly folks prepared to protect ourselves against all enemies foreign and domestic. Can not confirm or deny any other weapons secured in 8 gun liberty safe bolted to ground.

I normally keep a Beretta Nano attached to a magnet on the side of my nightstand. However, when my two young grandchildren are in the house I put all my guns away.

I am 64 years young, living alone with my faithful dog Pepper. I keep my EDC SigP365XL in my bed’s “nook” area above my head with a 12 round mag, Speer LE JHPs with one in the chamber. Since I live alone, I don’t need to be concerned with additional safety and Pepper (my dog) is fully trained in firearms safety. Thank you.

I mentioned on my nightstand. I use a quick release Kydex trigger guard. Just pull quickly and the gun comes out. I actually have several trigger guards that are mounted “permanently” in the house and car. They are pretty inexpensive.
