The only reason I picked .38 over something bigger is concern for overpenetration! I have neighbors next door! Get a bright flashlight you can hold and practice holding it and one of the guns. I used to have a Sig P228 at bedside until one of the mags jammed up. Also, if you get woken up in the middle of the night, a revolver is a lot more simple and safer to get into action. That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it.
