Kyle Kinchen was jailed at Warwick Crown Court on 10 March for nine and a half years.
This is after a warrant was carried out at his address in Glebe Close in September last year in search of suspected stolen motorcycles.
In their search, officers found a loaded revolver, over £10,000 in cash and a quantity of cannabis.
When they carried out the raid, the gun was found in the pocket of a coat hanging on Kinchen's bedroom door.
They also found items including four bullets, cash bags and a stab-proof vest.
22-year-old Kinchen was investigated after officers received intelligence linking his address to stolen motorbikes.
Kinchen answered no-comment to all questions when he was interviewed by officers and was subsequently charged with firearms possession, possession of criminal property (the £10,000 cash) and possession of cannabis.
