For things that go bump in the night I favor a double action revolver - mine is a .357 mag. The double action’s harder trigger pull give you some additional time to be sure of your target and back off. Some semi’s are not as forgiving, except for those who can be set up for a double action first trigger pull. A revolver is simpler in operation - key if dealing with a middle of the night event...

I agree, to a point.

While ANY firearm operated indoors has an incredible amount of noise and muzzle flash, a .357 magnum cartridge in a revolver is INCREDIBLE loud AND has a muzzle flash like you've never seen. Something to consider. I do like my wheel gun, but I also think I'd feel better indoors if I felt like I wouldn't be blinded by the flash of that big magnum cartridge....

I expect to only need to fire it once. Shooting at an indoor range helps compensate for the flash effects - practice, practice, practice.
