Ah, another item to add to the mix.
Many years ago I bought a SW .38 for home protection.
Since I had 2 kids I kept the revolver and ammo separate. (this prior to safes, locks,etc.)
Anyway, one night I was sure someone was trying to get in the front window.
Got the revolver, crouched down beside the bed and attempted to load it.
What a fiasco fumbling around in the dark all hyped up.
Turned out to be a false alarm.
Traded it for a Browning HP that has a magazine disconnector.
A round in the chamber, cocked, magazine in different location. Pistol won't fire.
Shove in the magazine and it's ready to fire.
So magazine disconnectors do have a purpose.
.Just something to consider.
That’s actually the primary reason I am disinclined to start off with a revolver. Six shots, and a pain to load in a pinch.

The better solution is a small, cheap digital gun safe.
$50 at Harbor Freight and others.
You can keep one or four LOADED handguns in it and access them in less than five seconds.
