Yep, but it wouldn't be a .380.

For home get a shotgun. If you don't have a place to put it and just have to have a pistol get a .357 revolver or a .45

Ruger LCR for the revolver and you really need to look at different pistols to see which one fits you best. Start with S&W, Ruger, Springfield, Glock, Sig

The caliber or a particular pistol? I dont mind the caliber, kinda low powered for hd. I'd prefer a 12/20 ga by the bed before a .380. As far as nightstand guns. I have a .40 and a 20ga on my side and my wife has her Bersa .380 on her side. WE STRAPPED TO DA NINES!

If you're gonna keep it at home, you may as well get a 9mm. For one slightly bigger than a pocket 380, I suggest the Kahr CM9. It's one of the smallest 9mms on the market.

I've got a Walther knock off that was made in Hungary.

I leave it in my wife's car.

You need bigger drawers! :-)

I agree w/ those who have recommended a bigger gun for home defense. Selecting a self defense gun is a matter of crompromises. In general, shotguns>big bore handguns>small bore handguns. But, one can't always have a shotgun or big bore handgun. The best home defense gun will be a 12 gauge (although the 20 gauge is also very useful). My next choice would be a full size/service handgun. No need to go small in the home. Go small, e.g. a pocket 380 ACP, when circumstances require you to make that compromise. I pocket carry a 380 ACP, but only when circumstances prevent me from carrying a gun that's bigger (i.e. more reliable at stopping a fight).

I have a Walther PPK in a corner table drawer. It's the only thing that will fit in the damn it.
